The freaking out over an optional feature that you need specific hardware for anyway is unreal.
If Fedora had announced this as a feature you'd have wanked yourselves into a coma.
I've seen Linux users scream over basic transparently implemented opt-in telemetry. Something like this would absolutely not go over well were it implemented in a popular distro.
Recall doesn't send your data anywhere though. It's all local.
Telemetry is actually worse than this.
Trust us bro. We won't send it anywhere. 🤞
Eh? What's this bold assumption that people would like this "feature" if fedora introduced it?
If it's an explorer.exe dependency, it's not an optional feature.
