I don't doubt that apps installed by Lenovo are exacerbating the problem, but even with a clean install it's still Windows. I use Linux for a variety of reasons, some technical, some aesthetic, but mostly because the systems are usually designed to respect their users in a way that Windows and Android don't. Not that there aren't plenty of problems with Linux as well. They just tend to be usability shortcomings rather than design features that are personally offensive.
