Microsoft now activates 'Recall', a Copilot AI feature that's making your private emails & messaging obsolete by saving screenshots of these every few seconds. So what does this Windows update mean, is it really "opt in" and how can you turn it off? Let's take a deep dive!

This just works. It will disable a lot of windows garbage including co pilot and recall. You can also remove all Microsoft installed bloatware programs but I don’t recommend it on 11.
If you’re really committed, Wine or Quickemu are pretty damn good now. Grasshopper may almost fully work. Worth a shot. If you’re generous and it works well enough, you can create bugs for any gaps in behavior and help everyone else. But not everyone has time for it.
Grasshopper3D runs within Rhinoceros3D. Can “Rhino8 run with Wine/Quickemu?” is what I should research, though in McNeel’s documentation, it’s explicitly stated to not use Wine (I think). I suppose I could run on an older x86_64 Intel Macbook, but then I lose NVIDIA acceleration.
Last I checked Rhino was gold in winedb. Did something change?
But I set up work machines when I need windows. Using corporate licensing help set some pretty good group policies. Then I just remote into them when I need to use something or work on something windows related. You can keep an instance in the cloud or a physical box, whatever works for you.
Remoting in with a linux machine on a semi decent connection is about the same as being there.
I need Win11 for work. Specifically, Grasshopper. I’ve tried alternatives. They suck.
Thus, debloat methods are very welcome.
It’s a shame that generic desktop apps don’t have the same level of support that games do. That would be an enormous boost to Linux adoption.
I hope you got a work pc seperates from your private one?

But my employers data has zero value to me
