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
For me it was being able to fully disable co-pilot and make sure that it stayed disabled. I asked it how to turn itself off and it hallucinated options that didn't exist.
Honestly OneDrive replacing the local folders is what made me fully switch to Linux
auto-enabling that is, perhaps, the single most annoying thing they've done to windows. like you don't even get a fucking choice when they do it, they just take your data.... which adds 'most frightening thing done' as well.
and onedrive is also configured to cloud-first. you don't even have your files on your hardware unless you go back and access them again (so they're re-downloaded) or reconfigure onedrive to put them all back.
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
My wife made a giant folder called garbage she shoves stuff that she copied out of Windows to put in OneDrive so it can’t fit her files when it decides to randomly start uploading 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.
Snaps....
No one forces you to use Snaps or a distro that enforces Snaps.
I suppose Ubuntu could count as an exception…
Luckily there are plenty of choices, Fedora is my personal fav
