AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall

Sorry, I had just woken up so I missed it
. I would suggest asking this in your distro's forum if you still have Linux installed on that laptop.
Been there, done that. I also went to the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server. All great people, but their advanced solutions didn't work either. Even people with exactly the same model didn't have this issue. I have no idea what it could be, maybe something hardware related.

With an Nvidia GPU on Linux, you don't get the Nvidia App or even the Nvidia Control Panel. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox... All features that I paid money to have and use daily. None of it exists in Linux beyond wonky half-solutions.
Maybe bring that up at Nvidia. The Linux Community is not obligated to deliver you your needed functions for free
Other solution: don't pay for it. Don't buy Nvidia because they don't support Linux.

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.
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.
Or they're going to feed them to the first fascist who asks. With or without a warrant.
EDIT: Also, Microsoft already sold an OS you don't need a mouse for. It was called DOS.

How about just blocking Windows instead?

Damn, that sucks. It's been forever since I set that one so I checked and it looks like I'm using the registry edit method for that particular one. My start menu has looked like this for as long as I can remember so I'm not sure what's keeping it from changing with updates. searching for anything not on my local system results in 'no results found'
edit I am using OOSU10 but unless it has some auto-reset feature then it isn't what's keeping my changes in place through upgrades. I'm even on the beta channel for windows.
yeah and that policy has been working on every other machine! I even checked the registry value, and it was there in the correct location, and correct type!

What phone model is it? You can probably unlock the bootloader and install a de-googled rom, or get root access and de-google it yourself.
It's an S25, and I bought it mysel lol, I don't to mess it up. My plan is to deal with it for a year, then buy a pixel for cheap and throw Grapheneos on it. If I screw up the pixel I at least have a backup.

- 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?

The AMD adrenaline software for adjusting settings and power profiles for AMD GPUs also does not work on Linux btw so it's not like it's only Nvidia that's the problem.

This is objectively untrue. I've seen it for myself.
You get a bare bones driver and nothing else. That means no 3D Settings page, no RTX HDR, no Shadowplay, no game filters, no video upscaling in Firefox... All features that I paid money to have and use daily.
I didn't spend a bunch of money on a 4090, only to not be able to fully utilize every feature it has to offer.
bare bones driver
is that not a pro? i don't want bloatware with drivers.
you can install all the features you mention separately if you want to use them, and they work on both amd and nvidia drivers.

I switched to Linux Mint and I have t looked back. I don't know why it took me this long. My laptop died and I had to budget for a 2017 corporate dell laptop, installed mint and I honestly can't tell much of a difference from what I need from day to day. I can't game on it really but that's not aLinux issue. And I have a steam deck for that.
