#12Seriously, join us over in the Linux desktop scene. I use Manjaro XFCE on my dinky little laptop (8GB RAM, 256GB NVME, 4core i3) and it works flawlessly. MX Linux for a solid debian desktop. Lubuntu for a lightweight Ubuntu install. Install 'Tilda' for a drop-down Quake style terminal. Explore different Linux distros in a VM. There's a reason Recall can't be turned off. There's a reason they made logins be tied to on…

Very good advice, I am in the process of converting a non-tech person to either MX or Mint, have not decided. Building the hardware now. I know she will have no issues these days.
Or, people can join the dark side -- daemons/BSD :)

#13I'm sure we'll have a github repo with a disable script appear soon, or it will be rolled into the debloat powershell scripts floating around, e.g. `winutil.ps1`

#14I wish Microsoft employees would learn what consent was. I really do.
According to data they show us, they do know that. But they are going to use EULA and try to get away with that. Not sure how this is gonna fly in EU. But I will not hesitate to jump to Linux once this is finalized. They are going to lose a handful of users.

#15I don't expect to be able to uninstall it, but can it be disabled? If it cannot, windows is done for me, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing anything on that PC
This stuff is so incredibly dangerous is should not be on a laptop without the persons informed, personal and definitely not coerced by corporate or partners consent. The risk is simply too great for it to be switched on without the former if it is installed.

I converted all of our stuff to Mint when Windows 7 went out of support. Went smoothly for all family members.

I live in the cloud and have tried to make the switch to Linux many times over the years. It's just not there yet - it's a death by a thousand cuts.
