Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible with two lines of code — inside the Copilot+ Recall disaster. (doublepulsar.com)

Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

I'm really hoping valve does a public steamdeck OS release. I'd like to replace windows on my PC with Linux and have windows as a backup, but the Linux distro I'm the most familiar with is the steam deck's distro, and that's not available outside of steam decks yet.

You're gonna get lots of suggestions, lol.

I'd say look at Zorin. It's a Ubuntu-based distro so it has lots of support, and also has several baked-in themes to customize your desktop the way you want it right out of the box. You can make it look like Windows 7/10/11 or macOS without any other apps or themes, which might help your transition.

Zorin is excellent!
