Windows 11's Recall is a brand-new headline feature for Copilot+ PCs. While the idea is interesting, researchers say it makes it way too easy to steal everything you viewed or typed on your computer.
Oh, you’re saying that Recall is a privacy nightmare and a sweet target for malware? Surprised_pikachu.jpg
The problem isn’t necessarily whether it will work on not. I’m fairly certain it will work 90-95% of the time. And that might be enough. But it’s that last 10% where I might need to do something right now and it will only work in Windows and will only work on bare metal.
I hit that use case maybe once a year. Last year I was helping someone read an old thumb drive they had with some important pictures on it. It was formatted with some old version of NTFS and wouldn’t mount on my linux desktop. It opened completely fine in Windows…which also gave me a virus.
Try a few distros on USB drives first (I like Pop OS). No risk that way as you’ll be able to test them to see if everything works without installing.

Thanks a lot Kevin.
