Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 24H2 turns on Device Encryption by default

Great to see that it's no longer a pro only / enterprise feature. I've long left Windows behind for Linux (with very few regrets) but the paywalled FDE was definitely a motivating factor at the time - it felt like a table stakes feature for a modern OS to me.

If they started offering reasonable ways to opt out of all telemetry and advertising (ie: without buying enterprise/using third party software and crossing your fingers) I could almost be tempted to dual boot for the games/software that don't run well in wine/proton.

I wouldn't be particularly opposed to paying for the privilege either, but don't make me buy X copies to be eligible.
