For anyone who’s been thinking about doing this, it’s a golden age of Linux Desktop computing. I had kept a Windows box around for ages mostly because I have a large Steam catalog, but Proton is so good these days that I’m able to play everything I want, and I went back to 100% Linux about 6 months back and I have no intention of looking back.
And I have the peace of mind that the next update won’t involve Microsoft finding the nth way to gobble up more of my data.

On the one hand, you have Windows Recall storing screenshots and data about everything you do. That's potentially very bad because it can capture all kinds of new and unanticipated private information and secrets.
On the other hand, I don't think people commonly turn off their browser history and shell history. It's not necessarily bad to have local history for certain things.
