From what I understand others more knowledgeable than I am have said that person tried some nonsense where he gutted files from the OS that may have included dependencies for explorer.exe so if what Microsuck says is still true you can disable the screenshot function of recall and whatever other privacy settings you want and you'll still be able to use your PC.

I really hope that's true because I honestly don't want to have to go to Linux and play IT guy constantly when I'm just trying to play a game or something after work. However much Microsuck sucks, windows almost always just works and the rare times I have an issue so many people use windows that I can easily find a fix.

I don't wanna touch grass! Don't make me! Lol

Linux isn't that bad these days unless you want to use something silly and not supported by the manufacturers, like nVidia's Optimus or other crap. Even then, the linux folks have it figured out. You can get step by step instructions for about any issue, even the complicated weird shit like Optimus.
