Assuming I’m understanding correctly, it sounds like Microsoft should be focusing on Windows 10/11/12 LTSC being their default OS for the masses.
I, personally, having been tempted by full-screen Win11 advertisements, decided to lock my family’s backup machine on Win10 by regedit (my family is somehow Linux-reluctant).
Once the Win10 support ends, I might look for another solution. But the thing is, Win10 is at the very least bearable once you get rid of telemetry (hard but possible) and Win11 is just awful when you try to set it up and maintain.
FYI, there is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise with support until 2032 that removes a lot of stuff like Cortana and ads too, it seems. If you absolutely need Windows, I think this will be your best bet.

Sounds like a good thing to me. If Dolphin is still available for Windows, they can use that instead.

Windows 11 has been a sh*t show from day one. I gigantic Microsoft turd plopped onto Windows user’s PC’s.

I feel better every day about switching to Linux, it hasn’t even been hard to use either. Just Microsoft being Classic Microsoft, I got rid of Adobe so I’m no longer shackled to them either.

I’m not sure where the truth is. Windows recall is part of co-pilot and is not out yet. I also uninstalled co-pilot. I’m not sure when the new version of co-pilot is rolled out whether it can be uninstalled either. The info is confusing at best. No i don’t trust Microsoft’s word on anything. 
Edit: One of the key changes is that Recall will be strictly opt-in, as Microsoft had told us before when the feature was first unveiled.

I Trust Microsoft to tell me the truth as much as I trust Bill Gates name isn’t on the Epstein Client List.

This, and the multitude of garbage AI features I don’t want nor need are what pushed me to finally stay on EndeavourOS. I feel much more at peace on here.
The only way to use Windows, if you need it for something that is stubborn and doesn’t like the penguin, is through LTSC editions such as 11 IoT LTSC. Get that, neuter it some more to ensure it sends as little data as possible back home. I put it on my brother’s PC as he still needs to play some Windows only games.
But I will never, ever touch a regular edition of Windows ever again with a 10 foot pole.

Note that Windows 10 IoT LTSC has support until 2032. It might be better to use that than Windows 11, but eh…
Indeed, although I prefer 11 IoT LTSC due to my CPU architecture.
You use an ARM CPU for your day-to-day computing?
