Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

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.

I have a long term project to migrate my machines, and the introduction of recall pressured me to move faster, but I still have some hurdles to overcome that just require a time sink on my part.

I'm on win10. I use win11 at work and I'm fine with it but there's no way in hell recall is going on my home machine and equally no way in hell I'm getting a computer just to get win 11. Im fine using Linux. I will definitely do that before put with with this bs

I switched to Linux mint about 6mo ago now. No regrets. Works so smooth

I'm done with the project requiring me to keep Windows. But going back to Linux after 15 years is like starting new. Ik mint was always considered one of the best for novices. Any others?
