Woah, easy there mate. I'm not talking about conspiracy level "big brother knows everything you do" BS. I'm talking real use case scenarios.
Am I aware that google tracks every website I visit and youtube every video I watch in order to *sarcastic voice* "give you better recommendations"? Sure, and that's something I can live with for the most part, at least I know what I'm getting into every time I fire up the browser.
But to have my own operating system be the enemy and have to fight with it, to have it install stuff that I don't want, without my knowledge and without the ability to remove said stuff(and even if you use third party tools to remove it they just install it again); to have it use keyloggers and know everything I type including passwords and stuff... That I can't live with!!
So yes, every bit of technology you use takes away a bit of your privacy, the question is where do you draw the line, how much abuse are you willing to take and in exchange for what(if any) gains? For me that line is win 10, it's WAAAAY too invasive and offers way way way too little in exchange.
Anyway, let's not hijack the OP's topic entirely and get back to his issue. If you wanna talk more about this gimme a private message and I'll be happy to debate it further.
So Angelo to adress another part of your question that I missed, about a minimum setup. You can check this link for the system requirements recommended for dolphin. https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/
However I would take those with a grain of salt because the way I see it(again, correct me if I am wrong guys) since dolphin covers such a wide range of games(and a long time spawn) some games, even emulated, might run fine even on a potato, while others might need a fairly beefy system. So I think it really depends on what exactly you plan to play on it...
