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.

      Pfft, proprietary propaganda. How hard is it to let go of every app you’re familiar with, learn half a dozen scripting languages, and memorize a hundred different commands in vim?

      What you say is true, though I’ve become so jaded with Microsoft that I don’t think there’s any software or situation I’d use Windows for; I’d sooner switch to Mac.

        Linux doesn’t have the breadth of programs available that Windows does. Programs developed for Windows are sometimes better than their FOSS equivalents. Eg. I pay for Office, partially so my parents can use it and partially because it’s just a better set of programs than any of the FOSS equivalents. I generally only find the Linux programs are better when it comes to computer management and maintenance.

        So I run Linux for servers and Windows for PCs.

          Years ago I switched from MS OfficeXP to Open Office and then to Libre Office. For years I lamented how I missed Excel and the Libre Calc just does not cut it. Then I started working for a university in 2017 and I had to install MS Office on all of our laptops for presentations, I was so excited to have Excel again. Boy was I wrong. Libre Office was so much better, as was the entire suite. Maybe it is just familiarity.
