Everyone thought I was joking.

I'm not.

Meanwhile I ditched Windon't after the news of not only trying to force Recall on everyone but also the fact that they were hoping no one would notice a security vulnerability that was explicitly used in the SolarWinds hack of 2021, completely wiped the SSD, and flashed a fresh install of Linux Mint 21.3 (my machine previously dual-booted Windon't 11 and LM21.3).
