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.
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.
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.
Installing a new OS is not a hassle at all on this day and age. If you can click buttons with a mouse and read at least at a 6th grade level to follow instructions, you can install an OS.
