Earlier quoted context omitted.

What part of GDPR does it infringe?

The P part. It's taking screenshots of your screen every few seconds. When enabled, yes, but it makes you wonder why Microsoft is making it so you can only disable it, but not uninstall it. If you wanted to be sure it was disabled, you'd uninstall it... but you can't. I'm sure Microsoft would never enable it by default after an update.

I meant what article(s)/paragraph(s) of GDPR. GDPR is a specific law, not a general principle. You can read it here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj#d1e1374-1-1

Eh, FUD is a MS classic.

At this point it’s FUD about themselves though. That’s what’s so strange.

True - footgun maybe? Wave it around enough at others, bound to happen to yourself eventually.

Genuine question: I've been hearing good things about PopOS. How realistic is it as a windows replacement ?

I used to give Linux desktop distros a shot every few years for a long time but would always get fed up with something not working or not being able to run some games. The last time I have switched back to Linux (Mint, not PopOS) was around three months ago, it's been a very pleasant experience with comparably few glitches (some that have been fixed with updates, some that I am still dealing with) and I don't have any plans going back to Windows any time soon, if ever.
