I've been struggling to figure out if I should revert to Windows or maintain my dual-boot configuration with Linux and Windows. As a gamer, I own Overwatch on the Windows side, while most titles are available through Steam on Linux, and compatibility is generally strong.

This setup might be tricky because Windows and Linux can sometimes conflict. You probably need Linux for specific tasks like running ROS or other tools that don’t work well in Windows. Are you trying to use a particular application or service that only functions correctly on one OS?

It's helpful to run both operating systems side by side just in case. Unless you're on Windows 10 and 98...

It's true that all browsers, internet service providers, and websites monitor your activity. While Windows 10 is often mentioned, Google has been tracking users since the very beginning.

It's essentially the same as with any other service. All your devices gather identical information. Why do you find this unexpected?

Including almost all shops, banks, fuel stations, public spaces, traffic cameras, and more. Of course, your phone’s GPS can also be used to monitor your location.
