Windows users are like abuse victims at this point.

No news is good news.

Oddly enough, OneDrive is the least of my problems with windows. It’s pretty handy at work since I have to juggle tasks between multiple PCs. My only hang up with Linux is games, which is odd since time wise I don’t spend most of my time there.

I wouldn't trust OneDrive with any kind of data. Windows 11 is garbage. Waiting for Windows 12.

Sorry to break the spell but Windows 12 will be worse. Might even be subscription based.

Windows 12 won't be. Windows 12+ChatGPT 100% will be.

And yet people will just shrug it off and keep using windows. And Microsoft loves that.

I got a new laptop at work and everything, every file I worked in, was creating a second copy of itself on OneDrive. It was so annoying and took awhile but I found instructions on deleting the duplicates.

It took all the files off my local machine and left the ones on OneDrive.

Aaaargh!

Yeah, it did this to me a few months back. Got the files back local eventually but it was a big pain in my arse. If I had time to learn another os I'd already be gone. Seems like Microsoft is determined to asset-strip whatever good reputation their product had left.

Lately, Windows 11 has been a one sussy baka. Windows, I don't know, man, it's almost like we have an impostor among us.

Recently switch to NextCloud.

So far so far.
