Gonna get to enjoy some reg edits on that machine then!
Edit: So I just looked at that machine that is set to take all new updates, and it doesn’t look to be installed like it is for that guy in the video. However, it looks like this machine hasn’t picked up 24H2 yet, which is strange as I thought it was meant to be worldwide now?
Windows users trying to make their adware delivery platform strapped to a program loader usable (I can install my operating system faster then they can install a program)
Got an example? Because my USB MIDI music keyboard controller, smart card reader, USB guitar/mic capture device, and printer are working just fine.
Chances are, if it’s a major brand, or following any sort of standard, it’s going to work out of the box. This used to be a problem in the 90s and early 2000s. Not so much anymore.
Preface: I’m now completely moved over to nixos and installing a bloody windows drive.
NaturalPoint did some nasty stuff to opentrack and we all suffered.
TLDR proprietary devices prefer proprietary drivers. Additionally any directX game that strains hardware pretty much requires windows or you pay in framerate. Experimental wine and proton can lose a lot of performance. Thankfully more development teams are supporting vulkan and native linux.
I found the opposite. Even my obsure printer that needed tons of windows tweaks and drivers just worked on Linux.
The only device that needed help was a 6-axis 3D mouse. Linux saw it as a mouse/tablet xy input. But Windows needs drivers for it to function. They had a Linux driver for it, so I installed that to get the 6axis working.
Any devices, that do not work on any of my machines:
Any devices, that did not work out of the box on any of my machines and needed a seperate package (I use a distro without any preinstalled drivers): Fingerprint sensor, NVidia GPU (only for gaming, it does work just not very performant)
Any devices, that did work out of the box: Every mouse (including the PowerPlay mousepad), every keyboard, headphones, cameras, printers/scanners, touchpads, game controllers
Bonus: Android to Linux OTG networking in both directions
Any devices that do not work with Windows: Scanner, Touchpad (in the installer), Bonus: Intel Rapid Storage Technology
Imagine jumping through all those hoops because Microsoft sabotages your property against you, when your could just use Linux and have it respect your rights as its owner instead.
From what I understand others more knowledgeable than I am have said that person tried some nonsense where he gutted files from the OS that may have included dependencies for explorer.exe so if what Microsuck says is still true you can disable the screenshot function of recall and whatever other privacy settings you want and you’ll still be able to use your PC.
I really hope that’s true because I honestly don’t want to have to go to Linux and play IT guy constantly when I’m just trying to play a game or something after work. However much Microsuck sucks, windows almost always just works and the rare times I have an issue so many people use windows that I can easily find a fix.
Enjoy it while you can. Recall is going to be a hard dependency of the new file explorer because of… reasons.

MS really can’t make stuff easy.
If you have any anti-cheat software on your PC, then the update is paused. Basically because it fucks it up.
With anti-cheat being one of the major things causing games to be Windows dependant, that is hilarious.

I’m just happy I only need to use it on one PC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Linux users trying to get a USB device that isn’t a mouse, keyboard, or data storage working on their OS (the hardware drivers don’t support Linux)

This is false. Please do not spread misinformation.

Okay then there should be no reason to spread misinformation about it.
