The LLMs demand more data, so MS is providing it by scraping our personal hard drives. Well, not mine, but still most peoples.
I still have Win10 running on an air-gapped laptop because there are no Linux drivers for my cheap auto-feed scanner, which I'm using to scan a raft of old photos. Once that project is done, I'll put Linux Mint on it, and use it for something fun.
Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, Steam, LibreOffice, Obsidian, and Jellyfin do everything I want from a desktop.
I have a dual-boot with Linux Mint. I don't access anything personal from my windows installation. It's just for games that don't work on Linux.
Oof - that reminds me - I have a LOT of scanning / digitizing to do.
Dont forget "Everything"
