Flatpak and Snap are Linux packaging formats that have sandboxing implemented and it’s pretty solid. There’s also Firejail for running sketchy applications in a stronger sandbox

Linux also has Howdy for facial recognition/“Windows Hello”

You’re a moron or intentionally sticking your head in the sand if you really believe this. What you’re clinging to is a backronym, not original or common usage. The term “rice” or “ricer” comes from racist old American car guys who hated that Japanese cars were becoming so popular in the 70s/80s/90s, so they called them “rice burners” as a dig at their Asian roots, to compare them to a kitchen appliance to make them seem weak, and to imply poor reliability and power compared to their beloved muscle cars. It’s racist terminology through and through and always screamed of a fragile, bruised ego

I would install 11 from an official ISO, and set the region/localization in the installer to English (world). This will prevent windows from installing any apps like TikTok, instagram, Spotify etc during the initial install, and you can change it to US English localization in the settings right after setup. During the setup you can also skip using a Microsoft account by pressing shift+f10 to open command prompt, then type “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. It’ll restart but that restores the “I don’t have internet” setup option that lets you make a local account. Then do a KMS activation since HWID recently got patched
