Recall needs to ship as a completely separate application. In fact Microsoft should also charge a nominal fee for it so no one accidentally installs it.
Still this is the worst spyware ever made. Have a telehealth appointment, lawyer conference, loan application, now Recall will store all that like it or not.
This made me decide to go with a non Snapdragon Laptop since I want nothing to do with this. Gonna dual boot with Fedora ( sorry Debain, but it looks like Stable is a bit behind what I need hardware support wise).
Microsoft is making a serious argument for going full Linux + maybe a PS5 for competitive gaming ( since anti cheat is Windows only by design).
I really really don't want to switch to OSX here since a 4TB drive is literally a 1200$ upgrade for Macs. Compared to 200$ when you can upgrade it yourself.
echo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64
This is why I love Hacker news, you actually provided a solution to the problem. I'm probably going to think a bit on this, how about just using Debain Testing?
Probably not the best option for people unfamiliar with the Debian ecosystem. Debian testing is mostly fine (I've run it on my desktop for more than ten years), but apt WILL occasionally choose the wrong solution in the midst of mass package migrations and it requires vigilance from the user not to accept package upgrades/removals that could render parts of the system unusable.
There's about a year left in the Trixie development cycle so some mass migrations might still happen. If you choose to run testing anyway, make sure that all entries in sources.list refer explicitly to trixie and not testing -- because once trixie is released, testing will automatically point to the next Debian release and you'll get all the joys of the package transitions and mass migrations for trixie+1.
As they say, the greatest thing about Debian testing is that when it breaks you get to keep all the pieces.
