Keyloggers have been present since (at least) win 7. You're all way too late.

i just updated. https://www.startallback.com/ fixed most of my issues along with https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
shame we have to do it, but even with Linux I have to do a bunch of stuff to make it more usable though at least it wont spy on you by default
Copilot is not an issue, it's Recall that could send screenshots of all files and folders to Microsoft.
Even if they don't send data, it is a treasure trove for a hacker to get. Such a terrible idea MS came up with.

I'd go with Bazzite, which is what SteamOS and Fedora Atomic Desktop would look like if they had a child.
Kubuntu crapped out on me after updating, so I tried a few other distros. Bazzite refused to install, but OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has made a really good first impression.
That's a great distro, used it for quite a while as someone who switches distros somewhat often
Is it much different to something like Pop_OS? I usually hear of Bazzite as a third-party ROG Ally OS.
Having not used Pop, I can't say for certain, but its likely pretty similar depending on the version of the image you use.
I agree with all your points.

Honestly I downgraded to 10 earlier this year. Then the windows 11 update came out that boosts Ryzen performance, well my happy ass couldn't miss out on them gains. So back to 11 I went.
My PC is pretty much strictly used for gaming so more power is more power.
I immediately de-bloated once I was updated.
I just had to use a Windows machine 10 minutes ago for the first time in 3 years. I hated it. I won't be doing that again until I have to.
The invasion of Crappilot is so close!
Can’t really move to Linux if I have to make software for Windows since the majority of people won’t move to Linux.
Go to press Windows + W and see what happens on Windows 11
W10... Nothing.
W11, some bullshit popover sidebar thing that takes up actually (Literally? Factually?) 50% of my desktop that tells me about the NASDAQ, the weather, some "local" roadworks in the next city over (when my street has roadworks blocking some significant traffic lights in the literal capital of my country), some recommendations for games, a shopping ad, and some bullshit news headlines that I don't care about.

You guys do realize that you can remove copilot from Windows 11 with a simple regedit or group policy editor tweak, right? Takes like 10 seconds..
For now, until MS locks that downvlike they have with other things
Until they lobby to get laws changed, many companies have legal requirements regarding PII that mean serious fines if CoPilot or Recall ever turn on in their environment (and if they're caught of course).
Windows is not going to fuck this up and force this on, handing easy legal wins against them to the world. They will have the normal configuration options available that they always do for features with potential legal liability attached.

yah, i have linux on all my devices save one and ive found ways to get win11 to just work without the bullshit.
it just takes about as much effort to learn systemd syntax because everything became the systemd singularity.
And you can skip most of the bullshit by setting up Windows using English UK instead of English USA (and then you can adjust your regional settings and keyboard however you prefer)
Is copilot regionalised? I'm in NZ and have been running Windows 11 for a year or so, and have never seen copilot appear.
