Until the time when Microsoft realises this and creates a privileged API just for Microsoft Recall so that It can see the screen.

Better switch to Linux. It's not perfect but I am sure that you will be fine using Linux(Unless you want to use Adobe Suite or Few Corporate applications which won't be used by many)

Well for those who are stuck with Windows because of some applications or simply because of familiarity. My suggestion is to stay on an older release as long as possible. If that isn't possible I would recommend keeping the computer turned off most of the time and only briefly using it for your purpose and try to keep from doing anything embarrassing or personal too much. Another thing that might help is calling up your local government and ask them to do something about this. You can also call Windows customer service up and let them know that you are displeased about what they've done and will not be recommending it to your friends as a result.

Video games. Linux can play lots with Proton I have heard but not all.

It's multiplayer games with anti-cheat that are the ones not supported (with developers now having to go out of their way to turn OFF support for Linux); everything else works fine. If you're only into singleplayer (like me), games often run better on Linux.

To expand on this and provide some examples, I've recently played Wuthering Waves, Tower of Fantasy, The First Descendant, Phantasy Star Online 2, Black Desert, Lost Ark, Throne & Liberty, probably others I'm forgetting, all of which contain anti-cheat of some variety and all on Linux.

There are some that don't support Linux and likely never will like Valorant or Call of Duty, and even fewer that dropped Linux support like Apex Legends.

Mostly mobile ported gacha and Korean MMOs. It's good that it runs on Linux for you, but most people don't play these games. Most people are interested exactly in the ones you've listed as not supported.
