Ugh. I mostly main linux but on this gaming laptop it came with win 11 and I had to jump through hoops to downgrade it to win 10. This is the last time I windows.

I just thought I might want to run games natively. I don't.

I saw you said something bout Google Drive. You can sync google drive and one drive and all that shit on linux. Just need to find an application you like that provides that functionality and then do, you know, the thing. Eg. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Insync <- haven't used it but allegedly you can sync to the google and microsoft cloud storage shits using this tool, letting you basically mount them to your local filesystem.

Not saying you should use arch linux, their wiki is just usually very comprehensive as far as finding out how people solve various problems. A solution described on there can usually be applied to some other distro, with adjustments for that other distro's particular quirks and configuration.

Alternatively, and I hate to suggest this, but buying a second hand macbook will get you out of the microsoft ecosystem while being accessible enough that you don't need to learn and get used to a bunch of new things before you can confidently get back on with using the machine productively.
