Intel graphic drivers collect Telemetry By default in windows.

  • I still haven’t signed up my local windows account Into my Microsoft account, despite the nagging. I’ve opted out of everything I can and I have a encrypted, filtered dns to block tracking and ads system wide.

    Just because some people use windows doesn’t mean they are ok with being tracked everywhere.

    Unfortunately gaming is still just mostly easier on windows though Linux is making gains.

      Yeah, I mean, I’m not telling anyone what they should do. If gaming is more important to you than privacy, game away, and don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it. Personally, it’s an easy call for me, mostly because so many games are playable now. There’s a few than I can’t run on Linux, and that’s fine, I just don’t play those. If no games ever worked… maybe that’s a harder call.
