Ok, seriously, just use Linux. I know how it sounds, but I’d say a majority of people use a computer to use a web browser. Guess what? We browsers have always worked and been native with Linux.
Problem is, it’s not a passion for most people and they just want to buy something and get on the internet. While they exist, you can’t exactly go to Best buy and buy a new computer running Linux.
But really, if you have hardware that works well with it, it’s a dream.
I will when either Nvidia supports it fully, or AMD releases a GPU that can keep up in the ray tracing department.
Also, HDR support in Linux needs to get a lot better. Like an order of magnitude better. Then and only then will I switch.
No, I don’t want Linux or any other OS. I perfectly know my way around with Windows and so many of my regular tasks depend on tools made for Windows. I have used Linux desktop in the past and have many friends and co-workers who use it as their main OS, but it’s just not for me.
Besides of course this recall stuff gets blown way out of proportion like every time Microsoft makes a bad move. All of my computers don’t even support recall and when they eventually do, I’ll just disable it in one of like four possible different ways.

Ok but the OP is taking about people who just use their computer for browsing the internet, so how is this relevant?
Or . . at this point, if you don’t have a very good reason to keep using windows, (eg: work, professional software unavailable on linux/through wine), just stop making concessions for windows and use Linux.
This just reads as “here’s a pill to make that stick up your ass hurt less” just pull it out ffs
Oh come on, you think it’s not in the OS itself with no ability to disable it? AdGuard is not going to necessarily help the fundamental issue here.
I think it’s likely that Microsoft will start turning it on by default, and resetting it with updates for people who have opted out. Much like they did with edge and Cortana, intentionally making it harder to choose not to use it.
More programs actively blocking it will make that harder, but I wonder how many will stick to their guns when pressured by Microsoft.
I suspect that Microsoft will ratchet up the pressure to force it on people as the gen AI bubble pops, an attempt to keep the narrative alive to keep up demand for their overbuilt GPU data centers.
- Linux tutorials need to get idiot proof.
- They need to work on giving people knowledge about driver support. “Why doesn’t my bluetooth/sound/wifi work anymore?” shouldn’t be such a common issue for people switching to those OSs.
- If Recall is sending your information to offsite servers, what’s stopping people from flooding those servers with bs?
MARK MY WORDS: They’re going to feed your screenshots into an AI eventually, then try to make an operating system that you don’t need a mouse for.
One that does everything people do on computers (the basic stuff anyways). That’s their goal here; AI OS.
Nothing private about Windows recall. It makes your computer usage into their training data.
