Google and Microsoft own my soul, and LastPass knows my deepest darkest secrets.

There isn't anything I do in Windows that it's capable of reporting as telemetry, that Google or LastPass don't already know. 

My existence is wholly quantified as annonimized data in a multitude of spreadsheets.

I have accepted this reality and suggest you do to.

It may be mostly functional, but is WSL exempt from all the telemetry that 'Doze is notorious for?

It was the release of Windows Vista that first pushed me to embrace Linux full time. I've gone through cycles here and there, and although my primary PC is a Windows Surface Pro tablet, my entire homelab is 100% Linux/BSD.

Small side note, Windows 11 isn't as awful as I had originally thought, and WSL is surprisingly functional. One could very easily operate entirely in WSL for a great majority of the day-to-day operations. The newest 24H2 update integrated SUDO, which is really amazing!

Hi,

I know this is a Linux list so this might be a little or maybe a lot off
topic.  This is a good reason to embrace Linux and go MS free.  It is my
goal to quit using MS by this time next year when MSW10 hits end of
life.

There is a Forbes article titled "Microsoft Windows Deadline—10 Days To
Update Or Stop Using Your PC".

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/10/19/microsoft-warning-for-14-billion-windows-10-windows-11-users-get-free-upgrade/

I am surprised this has not been mentioned on the list.

After reading the article it appears there has been some negligence on
MS's part.
