I'm afraid that the times where you do have to interact with Windows are exactly what some people are trying to avoid — the nags to upgrade to Windows 14 (remember when 10 was the last one?), defender popups, ads for 3rd party bloatware when you connect a mouse, forced updates before shutdown, etc.
To be fair pretty much all of that stuff can be disabled by tweaking a few settings (on pro/enterprise at least). I do get the update notifications but that’s it.
