Just fine, if people want to take issue with Recall that's their decision to make. Perhaps some changes will be made to placate those making noise, but it certainly no good reason IMO to avoid the OS. The majority of people upgrading aren't people concerned about or watching/reading potential privacy related issues on the internet anyway, this is very small crowd of people that preach FUD.

User Kratos007: checking his email see an email with subject "gotcha you perv". He proceeded to read the email which start with something like "I know you have been watching porn sites a lot lately since I hacked your pc & have recorded all the evidence. if you don't want me to send all that evidence to your contacts then immediately transfer 1 BTC to this address. User Kratos007: Thinks to self. Ha! You think i am stupid. I have read about such scams on reddit, you sucker. Wait! There is another paragraph in the email. In case you think this is not real then go to your windows recall feature & type the websites you visited most & check what you see there because that's the data I hacked. User Kratos007: Yeah! let me check. Search recall onlyfan xxxbuttxx. Sees the glorious full screen resolution screenshot of browser window of the website. Oh Shit!!!! Hello! is this the bank? Yeah I need to liquidate that emergency fund cause it's an emergency. |

Even if it was 100% secure I still don't want Microsoft keeping records of everything I'm doing, for the same reason I close my curtains at night even though I've got nothing to hide. It's called privacy. And of course if a 3 letter agency comes knocking, they are required by law to hand over everything. Best to just not let them set up surveillance cameras in the first place, but that's difficult to do when they have nudged everyone into autoupdates as the new norm, which can be tricky to completely disable (or if you do disable them, they magically turn themselves back on at a later date, or as we've seen, they integrate it into Explorer.exe in such a way that it cannot be disabled without breaking/reverting other features).
Even if there was no security or privacy issues, I just don't want their stupid retarded AI shit running in the background, because AI is fake and gay. |

I am migrating to windows 10 which doesnt have Recall and has telemetry removed via autounattend.xml, and autoupdates disabled in many places (registry and group policy) with confirmation in Windows Update settings GUI that it is "disabled by your organization" and also blocked microsoft servers at my router DNS filtering and confirmed that too with infinite spinner when trying to force an update, so I am pretty sure I am in a better position than someone on a regular desktop PC who just downloaded 11 24H2 which now has Recall embedded into Explorer.exe and now says Recall is enabled as a feature when checking with DISM command hidden from the user. The point here is that they enabled the feature silently in 11 24H2 so the trust that they won't silently turn it on and start taking snapshots of your private data is shattered to a million tiny insignificant pieces.

Maybe instead of having to fight and distrust the system to that extent, it might be better for you to work on moving to Linux? You can have it as minimal as you like.
Use KDE as the desktop, it has flexibility and working font fractional scaling. |

Do I need fractional scaling? What does that mean exactly - are you saying something like LMDE would not support DPI scaling modes like 125%, 150%, 175% which are not a multiple of 100 i.e integer scaling? |

I guess it depends on the format of your 3D videos? Mine are all side-by-side, and so I just play them normally in MPC with madVR and the glasses get the side-by-side image, and I just put the glasses into 3D mode and it puts half the image on one eye and half on the other eye and the 3D works as it should. |

Do you need it? Not if you're ok with integer scaling of 100, 200, etc. If you want to try something that isn't GTK or QT, you can try Cosmic from System76. It has fractional scaling. Looks kind of nice actually and it's supported by a hardware retailer. https://system76.com/cosmic |

Good question — I'll probably upgrade to a 55" 4k @ 3.5m view distance, so whatever DPI scaling factor is needed to keep text legible at that distance. I guess 200% would be equivalent to 1080 @ 100%, which might be okay. I do use the windows magnifier tool occasionally though on my current setup.
