If this somehow installs without my consent by accident or a different bug , it’s going to be the year of Linux desktop in my house, and fast.

Why wait?

This is truly one of those "Microsoft at war with its users" statements by them.

Once win10 is no longer supported, I'm headed to Linux

Why wait for end of support? Start moving and trying things out now.

Same boat. I'm so grateful that the only major multiplayer games I play (DotA and Deadlock) are both valve titles and can be presumed to have first party linux support. I can just wall off an old Windows 10 for CAD, it's not like Inventor has got any new features I care about in like a decade.

Seriously, 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 online accounts.

Don't let Linux be a turn off, KDE and desktop environments are fun to play with and get 'just right.' You don't need to live in a terminal editing configs anymore, but ..you can. You can customize everything and that's why it's so amazing. It's _YOURS_ - better than Microsoft turning on some weird AI that recalls _EVERYTHING_ you've ever done on your computer.

Shay-Dee.
