In December, an investigation by Tom's Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its "filter sensitive information" setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

They still get a surprising amount of telemetry out of LTSC, especially 11 LTSC.

Did my point go way over your head?

No, I'm just pointing out that the lesser evil option sucks (after years of using it). It's better for your sanity to simply jump ship and use a VM for applications that don't work on Linux.

Windows in a VM nainly only works in a server setup. Nit exclusively a server, but mainly only in servers. On desktop, Windows in a VM is either pointless, as in overkill, or problematic.

I use BSD, Linux, but all gaming is exclusively on Windows. Linux is not 109% compatible with all PC hardware, like soft EQ, DAC, or mixer setup for $500 of audio hardware not ncluding speakers, not all games in existance of the past 30 years have a Linux verson available or come ffom alaunxher or store, so all gaming is always exclusively on Windows.

People only push Linux for gaming out of ideology, not a solution. Using a translation layer or emulation means incompatibility, not a solution. Gaming on Linux because hate Windows, is not a solution. Mental paranoia over telemetry does not make Linux a solution.
