No means no

Do I look like I know what a 365 subscription is?

My one drive won’t even let me access it I have no idea why and I am not about to take the time to figure it out lol

If only windows just stuck to being an operating system and let you install things like one drive as plugins.

I thought OneDrive deleted my Documents and Desktop folders until I realized it relocates them from C:\Users\you\ to C:\Users\you\OneDrive\.

If you gotta use windows, the IOT LTSC version of windows 10 and 11 do not have that shit. It's worth checking out. I have it dual-booted alongside Kubuntu. Very clean, very little bloatware besides their shitty browser, but you still have the updates that nag you. Otherwise, it makes windows usable again for people who don't want all of their "features".

I have to create files and email them as part of my job but I have no idea where those files are. There are multiple versions and i don't know where the cloud is. Where is file explorer? How do I save to desktop? Why are there multiple desktops? Where is my documents? I am so fucking lost and that file needs to be sent immediately so someone else knows what to do next. What training? I grew up on xp and the ribbon is incomprehensible hieroglyphics.

Im not joking. Where the fuck is the file I just saved to desktop? It's not on my fucking desktop and I saved to desktop because it's the only place on my work laptop I can reliably find. Oh, I sent the wrong version? Well where the fuck is the one i just edited? Somewhere in the cloud...

Recently Google decided to enforce its storage limits, which is how I discovered most of my Google cloud storage was backed up photos I never once asked Google to back up. It was... tedious getting them deleted, and I had to desync my phone lest it also delete my device's gallery as well.

It all seemed to be a ploy to force me to buy more cloud storage space. Thank you, no.

I think a lot of people need to just use WinAero. Get rid of the ads, the onedrive, Cortana, whatever else. Linux is great, but there's lots of people still tied to windows for whatever reason, and they should all tweak it. https://winaero.com/

Strange. I use windows 11 occasionally, and it's never even as much as mentioned onedrive to me. Could it be that it's a cracked install? Or that I never connected the local account to a microsoft account? Or that I'm in the EU?

Edit: Downvote? Really? Are you really that jealous that my windows experience is slightly less painful than yours!?

See, I actually found OneDrive really useful with the whole integrations and coming with every Windows. The thing I don't appreciate is how pushy they are with it. Like holy shit michaelsoft, just let people do their thing.
