This post technically breaks rule 3, but there wasnt a good quote i could use.
I tried to make the title as factual as possible.

Well if you actually read the GitHub thread you linked, that’s not really the case. There’s multiple ways to disable it while preserving the file explorer.
> To those that arrive here from any Youtube or Twitter posts, please know that disabling Recall via DISM works fine, and preserves the modern File Explorer (though some might consider this an anti-feature). CBS correctly disables it, and the disablement is preserved through reboots, just like with any other feature.
No Minority Report-esque conspiracy here folks.

Linux is free, it got pretty good and even consumer friendly in the last couple of years. Just saying.

Recall is spyware and they are literally trying to force the system to rely on it so that everyone HAS to have it installed and functioning.
How the fuck is this legal?

Question do normal windows 11 desktop pcs have recall as a mandatory update or is just the new copilot laptops?

There is no possible route forward for Microsoft to force me to update to Windows 11 on any of my personal machines. I’m forced to use it for work and I fail to see how it is any better than Vista. Microsoft seems fully committed to making it worse for consumers with each new update.

Wait what? I thought recall is only available on Copilot+ PCs so how can it be a general Windows11 dependency?

Microsoft sees windows os as a necessary evil technical debt to keep their corporate customers tied to azure….they dont care if private users leavel…and ill go ubuntu once 10 is dead in the water it will require some effort but can you even imagine the garbage win 12 will be….11 is already garbage…the effort you need to put in to just make it a workable garbage is already harder then just installing ubuntu….pain treshold reached.

Wasn’t there some way to get a ‘gov’t’ version of windows that had all the tracker stuff stripped out?

Just kill explorer and use another application like Total commander or something. Easy.

It is these shenanigans that forced me to move to a Mac for everyday use and keep Windows only for gaming.

I hope this doesn’t make its way to LTSC… oh never mind..
This can’t be right. Windows 10 doesn’t have recall, does have explorer, and won’t be eol until next year. Once windows 10 stops getting security patches I’m going back to Linux full time. Now is the time to learn Linux, before windows 10 becomes an even worse security nightmare.

Today was the first time that windows tried to encourage me to upgrade to windows 11 before it even booted up the OS today…
No thanks…

Get another files explorer…

Can we use an open source alternative to the file explorer then? Can we just completely remove file explorer and use a third party?
