I finally caved and installed Windows 11 a couple weeks ago. From a user perspective, I think it's much better than Windows 10, but the privacy aspects are concerning.

I remember that when Windows 10 came out, there were several projects which aimed to remove or disable most of the telemetry that it shipped with. Does anyone know if such projects also exist for Windows 11?

>>The looming 2025 update cutoff means that PCs that don’t meet the Windows 11 system requirements will no longer be able to get officially supported Windows security updates. Most of those systems will be at least seven or eight years old at that point, which is old but not past the point of usefulness for many devices; users will either need to take their chances with an unsupported Windows 11 install or an alternate operating system like ChromeOS Flex or some other Linux version.

So goes the prophecy. 2025 shall be the long awaited Year of The Linux Desktop.
