I do agree that there are some ethical concerns with installing Linux without consent. That is why I want these people to make an informed decision before switching over.
However, it takes a lot of work to configure Windows to be more privacy respecting. For those who simply want a browser/YouTube machine, a lot of Linux distros can work surprisingly well. It also takes a while to get used to new workflows even if a friend configures the DE to look more like Windows.
The very nature of Privacy Guides implies that we do encourage users to switch over. The problem isn’t the system requirements of Windows 11 or bypassing TPM, the problem is the spyware-esque nature of Windows and convincing people of its faults.
