I heard a report recently that suggested that Microsoft Recall (the program to take a screenshot of your PC every few seconds to process in AI at huge ecological damage for dubious benefit to the user) is an unlisted dependency for the file explorer.

What that means is if you somehow manage to remove Recall entirely, then you won’t be able to view your files.

And sure, they’ll probably fix that. And they’ll probably also include a “disable AI” checkbox hidden eight levels deep in the control panel to give the user a small sense of control over their own machine - which will turn itself back on with each update because Windows

I don’t think you’ll be able to actually remove AI from Windows. At least, not easily, and not permanently. Your plan to switch to Linux seems like it’ll be less headache in the long run
