Well… at least at home you can run Linux. That’s a start. And otherwise try to switch or create your own business. It seems the latter is the only option to fully get rid of Windows, since soon companies will move to Windows 11 with Windows Recall and other AI bs. No thanks, I’m out.
Any company worth anything will keep recall disabled. Obviously, with Microsoft, it will get “accidentally” activated in an update, so admins will have to play whack a mole, but nobody should enable that malware when it’s released.
Everything about it is so bad. It’s like someone woke up one day and thought, what is the legally worst piece of software I can make and force in people?
Users of Microsoft accepted more and more. And slowly we are all in this situation (if you would still use Windows). Similar to the The Boiling Frog Syndrome. Get out now, while you still can. Try to search for alternatives. You have been warned.
I went cold turkey to Linux this past December. Best choice I’ve ever made. I am still stuck on Windows for work and I assist friends and family with their stuff, but otherwise I’m happily out of the system.
How does the interoperability work for your setup? Did you set up something special? What backup system do you use?
I ask because I plan to integrate some Apple stuff so my family can interact with it, like local-only backups, interacting with the TV (kodi) and music (mpd). I will not use software from apple on my side (well, beside the FOSS stuff from them, like bonjour or the printer stuff).
I went 10 years ago to Linux. To avoid all Windows non sense…

I agree. Fun fact: You can’t uninstall Microsoft Recall.

Great nice to hear! Which distro did you choice (No wrong answers)? Do you still need help or have questions or issues?

That’s already plenty, thank you very much!
At my job I run what my employer wants me to run. I get paid for it, they get to decide the OS.
But at home I’ve been running Linux since 2006.
