10 LET M$ = "Microsoft"
M$ is something an edgelord would say.
I'm having trouble understanding your thought process, as M$ is the name of a string variable in line-numbered BASIC. Did you mean "BASIC programmers are edgelords"? Or "People who use a term for Microsoft that calls to mind its roots as a publisher of BASIC interpreters are edgelords"?
Probably pushing about 350 pounds with a closet full of fedoras.
I'm not sure what being able to bench press 350 lb and in charge of a rack or two of servers running RPM-based GNU/Linux has to do with anything.

:Pp.s. When you're ready to remove the training wheels, Linux will be waiting.

Re:How do I block this stuff?
That isn't meant to be offensive by the way, I just literally gave up trying all the different registry tweaks and obscure utilities meant to bend Windows 10 back into the shape of something usable and found that I don't miss much of anything. You might have a Windows app you need to run, in which case you need to keep searching through that morass and hope there's a way to turn it off (hint: usually the answer is either "no" or "it'll take quite a lot of work and be reversed on the next update anyway").
I recently tried the latest fedora and was far from impressed. They actually managed to take away even more basic configuration options and dumb the interface to the point of non-usability vs previous time I tried it. I was now being denied the ability simply to change basic attributes such as fonts and sizes.
Unless of course you are willing to search for obscure CLI commands to install different window managers or configurators outside the reach of normal people.
Then there is the issue of the update model. Fedora is way too much of a moving target to be relevant for production use. Either you go along with forced major updates every 6 months with associated risk of failure or you are totally screwed as they pull update feeds even for security.
Fedora seems to be nothing more than a playground for red hat's commercial products and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Re:Escape?
Yes, but why do you recommend a crap choice?

MS is just making the choice more binary - either you choose to let them do anything they want with your computer, or you choose to let them do NOTHING.

Perhaps some comparisons are in order
If we're using the full desktop DVD
.iso file for Ubuntu 16.04 (amd64), and not the Ubuntu Core, Server, or netinstall images, then it's 1.4 GB.
Slackware 14.1 is 2.4 GB (source: http://www.slackware.com/getsl... )
FreeBSD is 2.7 GB (source: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/Free... )
Solaris 11.3 is 1.4 GB for the USB (source: http://www.oracle.com/technetw... )
Devuan beta is 4.36 GB (source: https://files.devuan.org/devua... )
Fedora 23 Workstation is 1.4 GB (source: https://getfedora.org/en/works... ) -
