Microsoft's new feature, Recall, which records everything on your screen, has sparked privacy concerns among users. Despite Microsoft's assurance of privacy, past actions suggest it may become mandatory. Alternatives like Mac also have issues with choice and autonomy. With improving compatibility, gaming, and device support, Linux is becoming a viable option, even though it still has minor limitations.

It's time to move to Linux

So, yes, I totally agree we should move to Linux, but this video is 9 months old. Also Microsoft Recall will be an opt-in feature if and whenever it will be released. Opt-in as in: it will be turned off, by default, unless you turn it on.
If anyone watches the video, please do some extra research, because even in Tech just like in … other fields… you can’t believe everything you see on the Internet.

I have moved to Linux 3 years ago. Best decision ever!

You guys are still searching for reasons to switch to Linux ?

Then switch to Linux already and stop whining about Windows. We get it.

Linux has been viable on the desktop for a couple of decades now, the only time i used windows is when i had to, full time on Linux desktop and doing just fine. When Microsoft ships an abhorrent feature like Recall, then turns off by default after a massive backlash , when will it get turned , by mistake , on and you won’t be notified? this happens all the time after a windows update , want to go further , ok, how do you know it is off , cause turning a toggle to OFF on the UI does not mean the “feature” is actually off
