Concerned about Microsoft Windows 11 Recall? You should be.

Recall allows Microsoft’s Windows 11 Copilot+ devices to screenshot every action a person takes on their PC.

What can you do? Switching to Linux is the clear answer, but some don't know what distro to try.

DistroSea.com is a website that lets you run and test 60+ Linux distributions straight from your web browser.

Have fun!

For others, it's not about which distribution to try. It's about which is accessible with Orca. This screen reader is not installed on all, and even when it is, it's not always set up to either start during installation or to be started with a hotkey. If someone sighted is required to install or start a screen reader, a system is not accessible. And many programs don't work as smoothly with Orca as they do on Windows and NVDA or even Narrator either. As for this web browser experience, it sounds wonderful, but again, is it accessible/ Many simulators, etc. aren't.

@Cotopaxi Really a preference for what /you/ want. But, if you want a familiar interface and easy to get along, Linux Mint is one I would recommend. It is based off from Ubuntu, but uses the Cinnamon Desktop Interface.

That would be my recommendation; please do look more into it before making the leap of faith.

Good luck in your experience, and have patience as you learn or if things go as pleasantly.

Isn't that exactly what recall was intended for? So someone would never lose a detail? I don't know what your desktop looks like, but if it's anything like mine being able to use a vocal search to find some half remembered reference or what I did with the document or program or webpage or downloaded picture is pretty fucking useful, especially as I grow older.

“an easy way to access information about your PC's activity snapshots...” is how this is branded.

However, it will be used to capture screenshots of emails or messages you may have deleted, as well as messages that disappear on platforms like Signal. Banking information, passwords, and medical records put on the screen will be recorded.

The feature that stores data in a database is done in plain text, attackers can use malware to extract the database and its contents.
