TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

What’s an alternative to explorer?
Unfortunately, just switch to Linux is not an option.
What do you have against Linux?
As much as I love it, it just doesn’t work for some people or situations.
Pfft, proprietary propaganda. How hard is it to let go of every app you’re familiar with, learn half a dozen scripting languages, and memorize a hundred different commands in vim?
What you say is true, though I’ve become so jaded with Microsoft that I don’t think there’s any software or situation I’d use Windows for; I’d sooner switch to Mac.
You can prevent recall from running and collecting data, you just can’t remove it entirely without breaking some features. I don’t think you can replace the file explorer, it’s your desktop n stuff as well as file exploring, but preventing recall from running might be your best bet. Or, alternatively, if you don’t use the features that you lose in file explorer by removing recall then you might be fine just removing recall and continuing on.
