Watching Windows gets worse and worse is a lot more fun when you don't have to use it. I use Mint btw.
Fun for us. Not so fun for people who have to use it.
It is sad to see the mental gymnastics people do to justify their inertia.
"It's opt-in!"
"You can disable feature X easily by editing the registry"
"You can install this tool from a shifty site to restore that feature MS disabled"
The emails you write to people who use Windows are not private anymore too
Unless you used PGP or something, emails were never "private" in any meaningful sense of the word.
Emails you write to literally anyone are no longer private the moment it leaves your outbox.
maybe sooner if you are using big tech webmail
Well, unless you are one of the dozen people using gpg encryption.
That is not going to stop Windows Recall from screenshotting the message once decrypted.
What I mean is that you don’t have control over it anymore, whoever received it can show it to whoever and whatever they choose.
@knatschus @SaharaMaleikuhm This is an interesting take. I hope that Email Clients which supports GPG ( none Microsoft Products ) will also deny recall from function like brave does by default -> https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/23/brave/_browse/_block/_microsoft/_recall/
It would also be a interesting question if under GDPR companies need to tell you that they might have shared your emails with Microsoft because they enabled Recall ( if they so do ) ...
So many questions ....
LMDE here. No ragrets. Mint features, Debian stability, and none of the Canonical weirdness.
I really liked LMDE. I eventually moved to arch though because I'm a tinkerer at heart. If I need stability without constant updates though, a Debian based distro is my go-to. LMDE for a desktop, or just straight up Debian with no thrills for a server.
For my servers I also really liked Truenas scale and Proxmox, but if I need something generic I go with Debian as well yess
Debian Rolling here. Have used different distros and I dont judge anyone who wants to use Linux. Glad you made the switch.
