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.

This is absolutely insane
My condolences to all Windows 11 users.

It's becoming common knowledge that:

It's not a matter of if but when will xyz service/application be breached and what are the potential damages it could do to me and others?

"I assume every online service is not if; it's when is it going to be breached? Right? So I operate under that assumption, that everything is going to be breached at some point. And so that's why Recall was so scary to me where it's like, I don't care how secure they say it is, like you look at Spectre and Meltdown no one thought these things were going to affect millions of CPUs and here we are, right?

I guess I just have to keep Windows 10 with a custom group policy that disables all updates either forever or until I learn Linux.

Linux gaming is getting to the point that I could consider the switch, but I hear scary stories about Nvidia drivers.

EndeavourOS (Arch-based) works fantastic with latest Nvidia drivers, for me

Including for sleep and hibernate? Those are what I've run into issues with with EndeavourOS and Garuda with my NVIDIA gpu

Hmm I never use hibernate but sleep seems fine for me
