  Ready to switch to Linux full time, then, buddy? :)

As long as you can uninstall Recall, not a chance.
As long as I'm forced to use thunar or dolphin or any of the other crapware file managers I've tried, not a chance.
As long as I'm forced into a substandard programming editor, not a chance  (Geany is decent, but Notepad++ is the best)
As long as there's no office software as good as MS Office, not a chance.
etc
You know, for however many years Windows records a lot of your activity:

"This tool gathers information from various sources, including the Registry, the events log of Windows, the Prefetch folder of Windows (C:\windows\Prefetch), the MiniDump folder of Windows (C:\Windows\Minidump), and more..."
No screenshots, but more details than I would want a stranger to see.
I presume you can get the same type of info from Linux log files.
At some point I'll give Recall a try if it's free, but I can't imagine why I would want to store such a detailed record of my computer usage.
It's just cola and porn 16 hours a day anyway.
