      Linux won’t save you from smart monitors. It’ll be like every OS suddenly gets Windows Recall, except LG and Samsung have the database, not you.

        Linux absolutely will save you from this, unless you think somehow windows detecting an LG monitor and installing spyware is going to happen on Linux?

        I don’t follow.

        I plug a monitor into my Linux desktop. Linux kernel and monitor talk. Linux driver for how to use the monitor is installed.

        Unless you have some shit ass traitor developers creating the drivers, I don’t see how this is a worry in an open source OS where you can remove any added junk anyway.
