What is funny is who the hell wants to save to a Documents folder? People are used to that now, but a lot of people didn't like that either when it started.

Am I the only person in the world that managed to delete the shit off of windows that I didn't want and never have it come back?
Even after updates?
No, the rest of us just stopped responding to these threads. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think.
The kinds of people who repost this meme over and over again, are the kinds of people who don't do updates, and the reason why updates are automatic by default on Windows. They don't know nor care to know what is going on with their os, they just have an idea of what they expect will happen, and when something different happens, they complain and post memes about it.
Of course, not every single person is like that, there are and always will be exceptions
The hard truth is that most people don't know and don't care what's running on their computer until it gets in their way.
Some of us have to do tech support for people stuck in these situations. I don't personally have problems with Onedrive but I'm also the type who is able to figure out installing Windows without a Microsoft account.
Yeah. Needing to install using an MS account is a massively consumer hostile practice.
I see it as Microsoft saying: "this is what's best for you, you'll do things this way" and giving you absolutely no way to bypass it (unless you're like me or you... And know the tricks to do so).
"Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils" ...
This is such a pile of cheap elitism. So, the very need to figure out how to remove what you didn't ask for does not bother your club of computer geniuses?
I will point out that's not what the OP is about.
It's literally complaining for the sake of complaining.
Yeah. Sure. OneDrive suddenly starting to do devious shit without any request of user confirmation or warning definitely did not happen to anybody, it is just miserable unqualified people trying to feel good about themselves by complaining about nonexistent issues
You know what? That "rest of you" does a good thing by having "stopped responding to these threads". Do keep this noble tradition
Sure thing boss. Can I also spit shine your shoes while I'm down on my knees taking your orders?
No, the above is enough. Thank you
No, same thing here.
Lots of people removed Windows without it coming back
Windows is the virus
saves files where I like with Nautilus
Debian pleases the Omnissiah far more than Windows
It's simply what allows a web browser to run so it can act as an OS.
Shout out to Kera desktop
One drive crashes every computer I work on. I thought it was just a problem with the computer I was using at the time, but my computer got upgraded to another, and it stopped for awhile and then the computer started crashing again.
Then I moved offices, and my OneDrive seems to have infected the new one, since as soon as I started using it, the other person who uses it said it started crashing. And then it started crashing for me. And the other person figured out if he closes One Drive right at startup, there are no problems. I did the same, and no problems. But the second the computer automatically starts One Drive (like if I try to open anything from TEAMS), the whole computer crashes.
One Drive is a goddamn plague.
I never really had an issue with OneDrive, it was always better than Google Drive and those are about the only two that offer decent support for things like Excel if I for some reason need to do a quick edit I can do it in the browser and otherwise I can just use the desktop applications.
Luckly there is a way to get OneDrive on Linux, heck pretty sure you can still mount the thing as a network drive if you really want to.
Windows is just crap with their BitLocker being default, needing an account AND making it really hard to remove secondairy or tertiary accounts that you might have used for something somewhere.
I switched to Linux mint and the only things I miss is that LibreOffice is just missing some features compared to MSOffice and that Proton doesn't have a desktop app for Linux. I don't even care that I lose some performance because of my Nvidia GPU.
They are not mutually exclusive. You can point OneDrive at any folder.
One drive is really cheaper than Google one in many countries.
Also don't complain about having off-site backups, you will cry when you need them.
And certainly having one drive is better for your average non backup architecture oriented user than having no backup or worst, setting it up themselves to later find they never did it correctly
By now it's a sloperating system full of slopvertisement and slopware

As a Linux person forced to use OneDrive at work, OneDrive sucks in almost every capacity. Why would I pay MS for a service that fails at its core objectives?

Fool, it's not "your" computer, it's Microsoft's. You shall use it the way they deem best for you.

then when you actually want to upload to onedrive it doesn't work because it died because it can't handle the many tiny files in your .venv folder
Alternatively it's already full because steam workshop mods obviously need to be backed up in my personal cloud

It's becoming more and more a subscription services hub and ad platform.
And if you delete onedrive with stuff in it, you lose access to saved files so windows can’t be considered os
You mean when it has stuff backed up to the cloud, you can't access the cloud anymore. Would be weird if you still could, wouldn't it?
Name one other cloud backup system that allows this.

OneDrive is a big part of why I finally made the switch.
For me it was Windows 7
Then they came out with Metro Ui so I went back
Then they got rid of it so I went back to Linux
In the 90s I didn’t really have a main one
For me, it's going to be the AI injected into the body without consent.
