Wow I didn’t realize that the windows ‘didn’t boot correctly’ was doing that. Egads!
Yep, been doing it it all along. So long folks forgot about this “feature” and take it for granted all Operating Systems do this. No... Linux does not do this unless you choose to allow it for bug reports and future development purposes. It will ask you if you want to play along to help the distro developers or not. It allows YOU to make that decision. MS just does it hidden whether you like it or not, because in their mind it does not belong to you, it will always belong to them to administrate the way THEY want to.
I have hated this MS arrogance since the day I drove my first computer with MS. Since the first 286. And it has only grown and got worse and worse since. When Win 10 came out and I was being forced to adopt it, I made the decision to change my lifestyle and dump computers altogether before I would use it. Then I pulled the trigger with Linux and haven’t looked back since. Just the self ownership is more than enough reason alone. I am no longer a slave to MS.
