If your PC doesn’t support Windows 11 then it makes sense to switch to Linux. But staying on an EOL OS when you could upgrade is plain stupid.

    Windows 11 is hardly an upgrade.

    If they still insist on shoving recall down our throats I refuse to downgrade to 11.

    I have windows 11 and I don't have recall enabled.

    I remain very skeptical about this.

    It would not surprise me in the least to find out that "disabling" Recall only disables the user-facing aspects of it, but that the data collection still happens in the background regardless.

    I have no proof of this, it is pure speculation, but it would be in line with behavior Microsoft has demonstrated before when adding new "features". Would anyone like to play Bejeweled?
