Off is the direction in which I would like Microsoft to fuck if they think I'm gonna have a deep learning AI spy on my computer activity.

This just makes me want to switch to Linux.

    Anecdotally it hasn't been that hard. I've had the best luck with Linux Mint just working straight out of the box. I basically only use my computer to game so your mileage may vary if you need specialized software or something.

    Also the benefit of mint is that Ubuntu has a huge user base comparatively so you can find a lot of info online for people who have probably already figured out issues that you might encounter.

    Lots of support already but I made it switch in December last year and no regrets. There's a bit of a learning curve getting used to a new environment but the computer actually becomes a tool you can shape to your needs rather than changing how you work so your computer will do it.
