Everyone irrationally hates windows now because they finally read the terms and conditions out of context that have barely changed in ten years.

Basically every company knows everything about us its way to late to try and change that.

There only 1 rule of privacy you need to follow:

If it's online it's not private.

If you want to keep your stuff private don't post it online no matter how "private" the site/service claims to be.

Also, if you give stuff to others expect them to post it online.

It seems to me that you could simply avoid a lot of the issue by dual booting, keep all your sensitive info on a small windows/Linux partition. If you say "that's too hard" then that's the choice they have to make. The thing I'm more interested in is whether the OS still takes 30GB of my hard drive.

I set my computer to say it is on a metered connection. It lowers the amount of spying data sent, as Windows 10 sending too much would make bad things happen. Too tired to think about it.

Anyone joining the circlejerk right now is going to struggle with linux.

I want to say it's like only 5GB but that's just off the dome and I could be wrong.

Holy shit 30 GB? I just installed Debian yesterday and it's 8 GB after I loaded it up with both KDE and GNOME and their respective bundles of software.
