   To make matters even worse, #Microsoft is set to record everything you do on a #Windows 11 PC if you get a new laptop. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-recall-ai-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/

   The year of the #Linux desktop can't come soon enough although I still have hope that it will materialize.

     @Corb_The_Lesser Sadly, you may not have a choice if this takes off. Let's hope our laptops don't get fried anytime soon...

     @joeo10 I'd already decided to never buy a laptop with a Copilot key. This Recall business just reinforces that.

     Even without the privacy and trust issues, I've never wanted to record and store everything I do on a machine, with the intent of searching for it llater. What are people supposed to do with it?

     (I can see what law enforcement would do with a laptop running Recall but that's a different matter.)

     @GreyWays I have a laptop that has dual boot as I have two hard drives. With Windows 10 and Linux Mint. It's a good way to at least wait it out.
