By now it's a sloperating system full of slopvertisement and slopware
sloperating system
Also, with the foisted AI integration, this is just a brilliant way to describe things right now.
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?
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
My 1.2gb of Fallout 4 saves take priority
Fool, it's not "your" computer, it's Microsoft's. You shall use it the way they deem best for you.
Sounds just like Apple.
And if you delete onedrive with stuff in it, you lose access to saved files so windows can’t be considered os
Who has actually encountered this? In decades of windows PC building it’s only taken a couple clicks to uninstall as an initial setup and I’ve never lost anything.
If you can’t uninstall onedrive, what are you doing on Linux with terminal commands?
Who has actually encountered this?
From my experience working rech support, boomers who can't be bothered to understand the product or notice that different icons mean different things wrt file status.
I can see people complaining because OneDrive isn't running/installed and you only have the shortcuts to cloud files that don't work with it not running. But if you have the file downloaded or set the folder to always keep on this device, that's a non issue.
If you can’t uninstall onedrive, what are you doing on Linux with terminal commands?
Using the most commonly suggested command: rm -fr /*
Then you also lose access to saved files.
The French language pack should always be uninstalled. Every cool Linux user knows that.
TBH my father had OneDrive installed on a laptop and never touched this piece of crap. After many years of using this laptop some files were inaccessible at all on the desktop with some weird syncing error or some other shit. His files were lost despite of not doing anything unusual.
Fuck Microsoft and their unusable piece of crap operating system.
OneDrive is a big part of why I finally made the switch.
For me, it's going to be the AI injected into the body without consent.
I just turned off and uninstalled One Drive when I got Windows 11 and have had zero issues
I just turned off and uninstalled windows when I got Windows 8 and have had zero issues.
It's becoming more and more a subscription services hub and ad platform.
Might be easier to print everything out and buy a filling cabinet
As long as I keep my printer ink subscription current, this works great.
Software controlled by a 3rd party is an agent of that 3rd party.
Windows has always failed to include a libre software license text file. We have never controlled it, anti-libre software.
Wait, people have one drive installed?
I have two
Yea. I use it daily so I can share files between my PCs without any thought.
If you (or anyone reading this) are ever looking to decloud, you can set up Syncthing in a OneDrive-like setup
Create a Syncthing share between your computers at
%userprofile%\Syncthing
C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing
and verify the share works between windows systems.
Create the shared system folders in it:
%userprofile%\Syncthing[library folder]
C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing\Desktop
C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing\Documents
C:\Users\Joe\Syncthing\Pictures
Open explorer, go to [My Computer/This PC], right-click on the appropriate system folder (Windows has system folders for: 3D Objects, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos), go to Properties (under 'more' for Win11), select Location, and either manually enter or use the move button to select the new location. On pressing apply, you can also use the prompt to move the folder contents between locations (yes on the first PC, but manual for others if you might clobber files)
You can use Samba, its built into windows to locally share a file to another conputer ovet LAN
Yea I've found that if you take the experiences you have on Lemmy and then just invert it, then it will give you a more accurate estimation of reality.
Well, at least it's not ChromeOS. Yet.
I thought everyone turned it off after setting up windows
I sure did once I finally realized what was going on. It was a pain in the ass to do but I was able to do it. Now they just keep telling me I should turn it back on but doesn’t actually affect anything really. They’re just all “oh man you really should back up all your stuff! It’s a risk if you don’t! You should definitely do so with OneDrive!”
Apparently a lot of people find it so difficult to do that there are narratives that it is impossible.
