To be fair, I assume Microsoft do pretty much the same thing on an ordinary Windows PC anyway. I suspect they gather more data if you are logged in to an MS account but I bet if you aren't it's not as if they gather nothing, even if you (try to) turn off Windows telemetry.

Short of building your own Linux system and then not connecting to the outside world on it you're probably being tracked. And I suppose if you wanted to just do some word processing and print it, or pull some photos off a camera for storage, and nothing else much, then you could do that.

I'm completely sorted of course. I block google analytics at router level, so I'm done. If only.
