Based on the comments here you'd think Copilot+ PC's are actually a popular thing. Nobody here has a PC that will run Recall. Essentially nobody has a Copilot+ PC at the moment.
Side note: Recall isn't the boogeyman it's being made out to be.

Judging by the comments in this thread this will be the one defining mistake that kills Microsoft.

Just use explorer patcher on win,10 22h2, fixed
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?

[Level1Techs] Microsoft Is KILLING Windows | ft. Steve @GamersNexus
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.
Nvidia drivers are the reason I end up going back to windows every time. Once installed they work fine, but installation and updating were always fraught with issues, and would inevitably break and piss me off to the point I gave up and went back to windows.
Haven't tried since I got my amd card, but maybe Nvidia Linux drivers are less terrible than they had been.

Thank goodness for Linux.
After all the fud and opposition they've pushed against it over the years. It's nice to see them finally do things to help it.
Quick edit to add that it couldn't come at a better time now that there are companies like system 76 out there. Making Linux compatible systems that ship with Linux that you can actually recommend to someone who is a novice to pick up. They may be on a more expensive side. But what's your privacy worth?

But what's your privacy worth?
I think society has shown us time and time again over several decades that the answer to that question is "not a God damned thing".

Okay, this might be a non-issue: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues/2697#issuecomment-2403792309
To those that arrive here from any Youtube or Twitter posts, please know that disabling Recall via DISM works fine, and preserves the modern File Explorer (though some might consider this an anti-feature). CBS correctly disables it, and the disablement is preserved through reboots, just like with any other feature.
Edit: of course, the big problem here is that it's still present (even disabled) and hence malware could turn it back on without you realising. Ugh.

What the actual fuck, microsoft?

Welp. Time to buy a NAS to back up all my stuff and rebuild this pc with Linux.

I won't upgrade past 10 anyways and if I can't run 10, back to Linux I go.
You've got until late 2025 before 10 stops receiving security updates. I would not stay long after that.

Looks like I picked the right year to switch to Linux on my primary pc.
Switching to Free Software is kind of like planting a tree: the best time was years ago (because you'd be over the learning curve). The second-best time is now.
