Are you going to be forced to use Recall? Microsoft Windows plans on adding a new Feature called Recall is becoming a privacy nightmare. It’s really time to start thinking about switching to Linux or something else.

When did you make the switch?
It's not Microsoft behind this, it's the US govt. They're the client. Microsoft has to comply.
I switched to Mac, and man has it been nice. Say what you want about Apple, you get what you pay for, and NO freaking ads.
The time to switch to Linux was in 1996. But yeah. Welcome to the party I guess. But you are really late.
Something which baffles me, is that there is literally NO programmer who implements this, who knows about the intentions from Microsoft but doesn't go to the press as a whistle blower.
Come on, do you really think this won't become mandatory (and sending home) for companies, even with Enterprise version?
That's going to make a huge amount of companies mandatorily break the law, no matter which country. The US has HIPPA (even if it's only for medical stuff), other parts of the world have stronger ones (like the EU with the GDPR). Just imagine what the outcome would be if a court would judge that you cannot use Windows and not break the law (even California could do that since they have something similar to the EU's GDPR at this point).
Heck, even if they would just prohibit the medical sectors from using Windows this would be hugely problematic.
At this point my windows install is basically a game console for the few games I can't run on Linux. Looking forward to the day where I can ditch it completely.
I love all these videos on "just switch to Linux", which is fine if everything you do easily migrates. How about for those of us who are stuck with Windows because our tools are Windows only? Last time I checked, Altium wasn't planning on releasing a Linux version of their tools, and good luck getting that monster to run in Wine. Other tools I use can run in Linux, but are buggy and unstable in comparison, and I'd like to spend my time debugging my work, not my tools.
My solution was to run Windows in a VM on top of Proxmox, so I can actually trust the firewall to work. It also makes it very easy to restore in the event something goes horribly wrong. Unfortunately, this is the best I can do until the major CAD tool developers start seriously supporting Linux.
Still looking for a Linux, that I can install next to Windows, just in case I Need Windows.
i switched to Arch Linux back when Microsoft announced recall. love it, but do not recommend Arch for the layman trying to get away from Windows. install Mint for your first one
I think they’re pushing this so hard since they already have a deal to sell screenshots of you as data to AI training companies.
I’ve used Windows my whole life but this will honestly be the breaking point for me. I will uninstall Windows 11 from my laptop that came with it and dual boot 10 and Linux because this is just disgusting and should be banned.
I expect the lowest of the low for MS yet they dig deeper and deeper than previously thought possible
Is this for all versions of Windows 11? Even if I'm just updating from Windows 10?
It's mandatory to dump microsoft
I moved to Mint 22 around a week ago and I'm very happy. The devs have made the set up and use extremely user friendly. First thing I did was download Brave Browser for advert free video watching on YT. Bye bye windows!
its almost as if microsoft tries to make you drink that roofie whether or not you want to
I Wonder…
If the "bug" i.e. feature menu that allowed Recall to be disabled was there, is it beyond the realms of possibility that the menu was actually there to 'backdoor' turn recall ON at some stage (probably during a windows 'update'. I wouldn't put it past them.
NEVER!!! Luckily my laptop doesnt have AI built in… hahaha. it think not having the latest technology is kinda a good thing.
PS: ever since i am having audio bug on windows 11, i dual boot with ubuntu as my daily driver…
I fully switched now to Linux as a daily driver. All of my new business will be done using Linux variants now. MS Recall was the last straw, it was bad enough there were bugs that never got fixed since release.
I think I disabled it with do not spy on me. How do I tell if it copilot is disabled?
This is Part of project Six six six mentioned in scripture.
Keep only one My device on windows, because gaming. Disabled update module, disable any telemetry and blocked it in firewall. This Installation of windows runs until it dies. Everything else is on pop_os now.

I switched to Fedora when recall was first announced and haven’t looked back. I believe that if more people knew just how far, how polished some Linux distros are today many more would be willing to give it a go.
If I see that Recall @#$% on my W10 box, I'll be on Linux in a week
Sometimes one doesn't trust telemetry from many services, imagine this feature.. it's crazy, they just want to impose what they want
If only Linux could play games… I might switch.
shut up, you can still use windows 10 LTS and windows 11 LTS absolutely fine. YOU CAN STILL DISABLE IT, THE FILES JUST HAVE TO BE ON YOUR PC. Frick off with the clickbait, stop forcing linux on us, nerds.
(The NSA will) Retrace your steps with Recall.
I'm not up to any shenanigans, but I can't help feeling that this is the only purpose of this feature. I don't need it now, so why is it mandatory tomorrow?
Sheeeeet mon, I made the switch in '92. I actually have a dual boot, but visit the Windows side only to allow updates once a month. Just have not found Windows to be necessary at all.
unfortunately; Linux isnt exactly 100% hardware compatible… 😵💫
all my machines that are, are already running Linux.
It’s an option, don’t use it then. If Linux is so great, why are you all not using it? See the same ‘time to move to Linux’ videos often.
Typical ILLEGAL invasion by microsoft and the US government spying on everyone!!
Very simple workaround Do not buy a Windows Gopilot+ PC
article literally says recall feature is optional….how is that flipflopping?
The high resource requirements to run Windows is making Linux look good. The hardware security (TPM 2.0) requirement to install win 11 is making Linux look better. Now this Recall BS is THE LAST STRAW. I don't care about the gaming; I'm switching to Linux.
there will never be a switch man comon be real, Linux needs to go/be more centralized its the only way
Are people here stupid? Recall is only for Copilot+ computers which you litelary have to buy it and its all your's decision whatever you want it or not, it will never come on normal computers.
Linux is looking so hot
You are not forced to use it. I heard it can be uninstalled just like other features like hyper-v iss etc..
On the first page from MS he showed it said the snapshots are disabled by default and you need to enable it. I read that as you need to enable it to use it.
I like how he looks at the MS page for recall and just skips the part of the telling you it is disabled as default and how you enable it. But he just completely ignore that and turn to 3rd party articles.
If im wrong please let me know and provide a source to prove it and so i can learn.
Windows 11 makes Windows 8 feel good
I am already running three Linux machines at home – Linux Mint LDME – and I am very close to switching my main one to Linux. Funny enough, one of the apps I use a lot and was preparing to say goodbye was Greenshot, but two days ago, I learned about Ksnip, which is basically Greenshot for Linux with the same features.
Imagine people leaking their private photos, videos, corn collections, passwords, etc. because this recall.
Switching to Endeavour OS now and going to use Hyprland! Not necessarily due to Micro$oft though it certainly plays a part as well.
The simple fact they want to make it impossible/difficult to u install says they’re doing something nefarious with it. If it was really just a convenient feature they wouldn’t care if you uninstall it.
To bust a myth: You do not need to know terminal to use Linux, especially easy to use versions like Linux Mint, zorin or Ubuntu.
