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.

    The context matters, doesn’t it? Like it or not, systemd is essential for moderns Linux systems by design, it’s necessary for them to work. You can’t say the same about recall. Comparing the approach without comparing the products is unfair.

      systemd is essential for moderns Linux systems

      And yet moderm linux systems existed prior to systemd, as modern windows exited without recall… Yes i can say the same. You can run linux without systemd (ask Gentoo, Devuan, Slackware and others) and you can run windows without recall. The dependency is forced and artificial.

        It’s almost as if standardization under Systemd can be beneficial. Still, I’m not a fan of the monolithic approach.

        Not a huge fan but systemd does a lot of stuff necessary to run linux. Of course there’s more than one way to skin a cat, but it makes sense to have systemd as a dependency. Recall does exactly zero essential functionality to the OS that would justify making it a dependency to something as important as explorer.exe on Windows.
