TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

    it was vastly easier to install linux mint than it is to figure out registry editing or whatever the fuck i’d need to avoid this

      Nah, mate, Linux is hard, you need to know what a Wayland is. In comparison, Windows is very simple and lightweight, you only have to run a dozen Powershell scripts and edit the registry weekly to get rid of ads.

      I’m thinking of changing my life (to require less of rot-affected computing) and moving to FreeBSD. Even Linux is hard in small ways, even if worlds easier than Windows. Would be OpenBSD if not for games.

          I dunno

          in what fucking universe

          “BSD” is one thing, so can’t answer your question.

          If you meant that Linux has a lot of graphical configurators to do things - GUI is not necessarily easier than editing config files, because config files can be clean and compact and examples well-commented, and documentation can actually describe how to use the bloody thing. It’s just that in Linux this is not the case. While GUI configurators can be hardly usable nonsense and yes, in Linux they mostly are.

          And this difference in wide strokes is indeed common for all 4 BSDs against Linux for things that differ between operating systems.

          The rest sucks just as badly.

          EDIT: I wonder if any person upvoting/downvoting these comments has ever tried the things they are about.
