Running Linux would block this feature too.
Keep In mind that you can still be captured by this feature indirectly,
Discord for example certainly doesn’t intend to do anything to hide your messages, they recently went public so in their eyes more tracking the better.Discord... Still isn't public?
They're certainly talking about it but they haven't announced a date yet.
Having said that, element and matrix are both more privacy respecting so I do agree with the recommendation in general.

I'm in the same boat waiting for Linux to be a bit more "feature complete," for me to daily.
In the mean time, check out W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It's the secret menu item equivalent W11 they don't wanna sell to consumers. It feels like a fresh W7 install with no AI, no bloat, no bullshit, and can even disable all telemetry. Only comes with Edge and Defender.
massgrave.dev has the iso's and permanent activators.
Edit: Adding that you can install the App Store and Xbox App to make use of Game Pass.
Lovely, thanks for the reminder on massgrave. I made the switch to Linux and haven't looked back, but there are some games that require root kits that I'd like to play so I was considering virtualizing Windows and this would be perfect.

Apologies, I striked the lines out of my previous comment. It simply was an example of how you still can be captured.

Thanks. I'll look into that. My current version had been pushing me to update, which I've been postponing and I'm guessing is free, but I'm not sure it'll give the choice of version. My work computer just updated to W11 Enterprise literally this morning, so I'll get myself used to it here before making the leap.

Yeah but then you can't run Xbox Games Pass or anything fun like that.
I can live without Game Pass.

The dev behind Brave isn't part of Brave anymore.
That's saying that he left Mozilla for that. He's still CEO of Brave

Can't believe this poor reading comprehension is getting upvoted.

installation of software on Linux is very bad. Literally everything else on Linux is very ready for the mass market, but installing apps is horrible to the point of making the whole OS not ready for the general public
What? When was the last time you tried Linux?
With flatpak, it’s usually a one-click process to install anything nowadays.

You can install the Store and Xbox app, and use Gamepass. I have a friend that does this, after I showed them how.

Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.
Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.

I use Linux regularly, and the last time i installed an app was probably within the past 365 days

Modern Mac hardware is excellent. The software is good too, but’s more a matter of taste. Not everybody likes how macOS works but Asahi Linux has made incredible progress so it’s a daily driver option for some already.
Mac hardware is a fucking atrocity. $2k for a "pro" laptop with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and no i/o except 4 USBC ports, that's completely and intentionally irreparable and unupgradeable? SSDs and RAM that are marked up 3000%? That's what you call "excellent"? If they were cheap I might not completely object to them being disposable but it's the opposite. It's fucking gaslighting. You'll never convince me it's anything other than a cult.

Actually, Linux doesn't block windows, it just isn't windows.
Just reason saying.
Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!

Can Recall not just be turned off?
For now it is opt-in. It's unlikely to remain that way.
-
For an update or two, at least. Windows features tend to get turned back on after updates quite frequently.
That's why you leverage group policy or local security policies to disable these features.

What's easier in Windows compared to Linux?
Graphics drivers. I can't say I ever had a graphics driver update in Windows that rendered my system borderline unusable, but I 100% blame Nvidia for me running windows until recently. I tried a dozen times over a decade and ended up back on windows when the Nvidia update trashed my system and I got sick of dealing with it.
On team green and running Bazzite with no issues
That's more of an Nvidia problem than a Linux problem.

That would be totally true if every software was distributed as a flatpak and every distro had flatpak enabled in the package manager out of the box. That's just not reality.

Brave 🤮

There's one in every thread.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
-
The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.

Elon Musk wants SpaceX rockets over Hawaii. He recently asked the FAA to expand the area in the Pacific Ocean where Starships debris can land.

California’s Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare: it would let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability.
