I dual boot on my PC, Ubuntu and Windows. I'm writing this from my Arch laptop. I only drop into Windows if I want to play a Windows-only game, but thankfully that's happening less and less. I've stopped buying games for Windows entirely so I won't have this problem in the future. When I installed Windows10, I did the hour long dance of trying to find all the places where I could turn off tracking, even temporarily. Then I ran this[0] which does a pretty good job in a magic black box kind of way. It's a patch job, I don't recommend using Windows10 as a daily driver or putting too much faith into any gui setting or external patch. Also updates are important. Software developers know maintaining multiple old versions and backporting fixes is more art than science and even with the best intentions is prone to incompleteness. Update your software. If you find you can't because upstream is consistently invasive/lacking/gross, chose a different project or you know... fork.
