Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency
youtube.com
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.

Low on resources? My old hardware is interested. Which others would you recommend?
how low we're talking
Tecra R840, Thinkpad T410...
You might be semi-comfortably running linux mint cinnamon on these (assuming 4gb ram) with xfce you're trading clunkiness and ancient looks for lower memory usage
no idea about the usual suspects, wifi, bt, graphics probably will require tinkering as is tradition
Arch if you know what you're doing. It's what I use, but my machine is pretty beefy. I've used xubuntu on the mini PC attached to my TV for about 6 years without a hiccup.
try endeavour os xfce edition..it is arch linux based but everything is preconfigured.It also come with welcome wizard to help out new user, and xfce de is really lightweight, good for old device
