Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

PC gamer for a lot of my life. My old Win8.1 system is slowly dieing and I can play less and less games....win 11 has made me decide to leave the hobby. I may grab a Steamdeck, but I think I am done with PC gaming (and consoles are just shit PCs now). I have a Linux work PC, but I am not bothering with making a gaming Linux rig when I can just go the Steamdeck route.

Steam Deck is great, 10/10, would recommend, but you could also just load Linux on your old system and keep using it.

I can better justify taking the out presented and using the Steamdeck for my fix. It will be cathartic lol

Just popping in to mention that Bazzite can be put on your win8 machine and it will prob run games better than win does. in case you don't know, Bazzite is installable on PC's where steamOS isn't yet and it's as close to SteamOS as they can get.

I have a SD docked and plugged into a TV with a controller at home. It works great, I swore off Win PC's about when win8 came out, so I haven't used it in a long time except for work, and every day I'm glad I upgraded to Linux.

Just want to add that most games just work on Linux now. Valve has done some amazing work on this front. The Steam deck, or really any gaming PC with Steam, are perfectly good gaming boxes. Check out Proton DB if you want game-specific info.
