    OneDrive and all of M365 is much nicer on Linux. It’s all just webpages that I use when I need them (pretty regularly) but that don’t interfere with anything else going on with my system.

    OneDrive usurping my folders and data, siphoning it to their servers without my permission (just like a virus) is exactly why I switched to Linux. It’s such a breath of fresh air not feeling like every update is trying to monetize and enshittify my computer more

      Honestly OneDrive replacing the local folders is what made me fully switch to Linux

        It seriously pissed me off so much. Like how could I possibly trust the OS after that? Literally just like a virus! Windows has pissed me off for a solid decade but that was waaay too far over the line for me to shrug it off yet again

      You can just uninstall it, you do realise that right? Making Onedrive fuck off and stay fucked off is pretty easy to do.

      Download ISO from M$, wipe and install, uninstall One Drive, done. Betting you got fucked using the Dell or HP or whatever factory install.

      Only enshittification I see is a single sentence on my lock screen. Don’t care, used a Windows crack, paid nothing.

    Do I look like I know what a jay peg is?

    Also yes this is crazy. I would recommend installing Linux to fix this issue.

    Quick vent. My job introduced OneDrive and cloud shit through Microsoft. Yeah. I still have to tell my computer to save on itself. I’m not using OneDrive.

    I hear my coworkers bitch about it all the time. It’s not syncing. I can’t save or change this or that. I can’t find it when I’m trying to open it. Why is this green or yellow? What’s up with this check? They always ask me for help because I’m the younger one that knows more about computers. I respond that I don’t do cloud shit. I want to know where my info is, but they keep on wanting me to figure it out for them.

    I guess cloud computing is my old man yelling at clouds line.

      I just disable it on system boot. Company hates that I’m not using OneDrive…

      I’ll throw crap in SharePoint, but I also won’t use that dogshit ‘service’ either.

      I don’t want people touching my reports. It’s my shit. View only.

    OneDrive to rule them all, OneDrive to subscribe them

    OneDrive to pester them all and in the darkness sync them

    In the land of Microsoft, where the data lies.

          All of my personal machines are Linux. I’m forced to use Windows for work, like nearly all knowledge workers. You’ll find out about it when you grow up.

            You’ll find out about it when you grow up.

            I’m pretty sure, when I grew up, my aspirations were a bit higher than bragging about being a corporate drone.

            When your value comes from the experience on your resume and not the stack of CompTIA certifications that you purchased while attending college, you get job offers that don’t come with a cubicle.

            I just made linux on the company laptop a requirement for me working at the current company. They told me, that I would have to install and maintain it myself, so I have Arch Linux on my company laptop. I like it a lot more than Debian, which I had to use at the previous company.

            I have never used windows in a work environment so far.

      Shit doesn’t happen to me on Windows. Killed One Drive, done.

      Been wondering if the hassle is from pre-installed versions vs. the “got my own ISO” version straight from M$. I get very few of the Windows complaints I see when I wipe it to factory and install vanilla Windows. Which anyone using Windows should do on a new machine.

        I was moderately annoyed at the amount of stuff I had to either disable or uninstall when I got my Win 11 laptop, including One Drive, and getting rid of the news recommendations etc, but it’s definitely less hassle than installing a new OS.

        Recently had to deal with creating a Windows 11 installation for someone else. I used a self-downloaded ISO and Rufus, and it still tried to pull that crap. OneDrive will create a system notification offering to enable it, and it’s similar enough to the various annoying Windows onboarding notifications that some people will accidentally click the confirmation thinking it’s the dismiss button.

    You know whats cool? Office programs like excel and word have an ‘autosave toggle’, and you know what it does? “Please log into one drive to enable autosave”.
    Thats right, you cant have a local autosave, you MUST be saving to one drive.
    Cool, thanks, no.
