TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

    This is absolutely insane
    My condolences to all Windows 11 users.

    It’s becoming common knowledge that:

    • It’s not a matter of if but when will xyz service/application be breached and what are the potential damages it could do to me and others?

    "I assume every online service is not if; it’s when is it going to be breached? Right? So I operate under that assumption, that everything is going to be breached at some point. And so that’s why Recall was so scary to me where it’s like, I don’t care how secure they say it is, like you look at Spectre and Meltdown no one thought these things were going to affect millions of CPUs and here we are, right?

      I guess I just have to keep Windows 10 with a custom group policy that disables all updates either forever or until I learn Linux.

      Linux gaming is getting to the point that I could consider the switch, but I hear scary stories about Nvidia drivers.

        I had no issues with Nvidia. PopOs has support for Nvidia on install…I used it and it worked

        EndeavourOS (Arch-based) works fantastic with latest Nvidia drivers, for me

        I made the switch with my old 1080ti the newer GPUs work even better and mine has given me almost 0 issues with Linux mint. It’s worth the dive. Mint also “just works” so it’s super easy to get into from Windows.

        I have a GTX 1080 and I’ve been gaming on Linux for over a year now. No issues. Only thing that you cant do is some of the new generation window managers (wayland) but even that is working well in the nvidia drivers that arent on stable yet. In any case, the previous generations window managers work great and if wayland doesnt work properly for you, you can just as easily do without it.

        Point is, its worth it to make the switch. I set my partner up with Linux Mint when their machine didnt qualify for windows updates anymore and they’ve had no problems, games and all. And they would never touch the command line.

        Would recommend
