The emails you write to people who use Windows are not private anymore too
Unless you used PGP or something, emails were never "private" in any meaningful sense of the word.

I'm curious on what features does Windows have other other OSes. Just gaming? Music and video editing can be on MacOS. Linux can do everything else.
Adoption.

I need Win11 for work. Specifically, Grasshopper. I've tried alternatives. They suck.
Thus, debloat methods are very welcome.
If you're really committed, Wine or Quickemu are pretty damn good now. Grasshopper may almost fully work. Worth a shot. If you're generous and it works well enough, you can create bugs for any gaps in behavior and help everyone else. But not everyone has time for it.

How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop. | Tuta
Microsoft now activates 'Recall', a Copilot AI feature that's making your private emails & messaging obsolete by saving screenshots of these every few seconds. So what does this Windows update mean, is it really "opt in" and how can you turn it off? Let's take a deep dive!

"Just install Li-" Can y'all just shut the fuck up about Linux for five minutes?

It's a shame that generic desktop apps don't have the same level of support that games do. That would be an enormous boost to Linux adoption.

But it’s the solution to so many Microsoft “features”

I wish it were that easy. I'm pretty tech literate and I've had Linux installed on and off since the late 1990's. I'm running fedora desktop on a dual boot machine that also has windows 10. The PC will run windows 11 but just like everyone else I'm not excited to upgrade.
But I still have to hop over to windows to do things. I know it's a chicken and egg thing, but Linux just needs to get over the hump if ease of use and app availability.
Having to switch from. App1 to app1 that boat do say, CAD, is hard. It's a learning curve. And add that learning curve into also switching to Linux and it's overwhelming.
I actually got my dad on fedora, and he went all in and set it up, and worked quite diligently to get everything working for how he used his computer. He did this because his PC was fine but not windows 11 compatible. End the end there were just too many things that he struggled with and he broke down and bought a new PC that came with 11. One of the big issues he had was with documents. Syncing documents that he was editing.
He was OK relearning a new Libre Office but it was syncing it back to a Google drive or something that ultimately did not work for him. (I can't remember exactly what he was doing).
He ran with Fedora for a couple months before giving up
Getting certain Windows apps to run on Linux is still impossible, unfortunately.
What I don’t understand is that file syncing is well supported. While I would never condone using a Google product, Celeste and Insync both support Google Drive. Aside from those, Dropbox has a native Linux package, and a self-hosted NAS is always a sound investment.

I hope you got a work pc seperates from your private one?

Usability.
Windows and Mac are both easier to use for the standard user.
I'm a technical person and even I struggle with what/how the hell I'm supposed to even install applications on Linux:
Should I download the binaries? Should I use snap/flatpak/etc? If I do one vs the other which is more up to date? If I can't find it in the software store can I trust random online sites?
And that's just finding applications. Most people don't have hours of free time to read forums to understand how to fix something that broke (assuming the distro they choose even has a thread relating to the issue).

This just works. It will disable a lot of windows garbage including co pilot and recall. You can also remove all Microsoft installed bloatware programs but I don't recommend it on 11. -

Ya, for my father (in his 70s) I was proud he gave it a real effort, but there were just too many changes and things that broke his workflow causing him to bail on it

If i ask "how do i change the oil filter on my *insert car model here*" and you answer "get an electric car" i'm gonna think you're annoying and a bit of an asshole, especially if you keep doing it over and over on every similar question. It's not a "solution" that interests anyone when they ask that kind of question. Fuck off.

I think the Doctor Who fanbase is the actual worst out of all fanbases but I still like watching the show. you don't have to participate in the community if you want to use something. I use Linux but I'm not wearing thigh high socks and sitting in the Arch discord all day.
Unfortunately my experiences with linux tell me that i will have to engage with the community, because there will be shit i need to look up and fix fairly often.

Legislation is a poor way to force populations into changing away from something they choose to do/use. As the saying goes "It's hard to talk someone out of something they weren't talked into".
Example: See France or Somalia
In this case the legislation would be used to ban recall and similar features, not to drive people away from windows.

Install Linux.
Please sit down for what I'm about to tell you.
When a Linux user communicates with someone using Windows, the Linux user's sent data is still being harvested.

I think if you are paying to have a worse experience with a ICE car, and someone points out you can get a nice electric car for free and you think they are just being an annoying asshole- that's an issue right there.
Sure, some people need dump trucks for work. If you don't though I think switching to an EV is sensible.
