Needs more than just backing off AI to get me to upgrade my backup windows 10 installations (only use them for things Linux can’t do).
Control panel/settings needs to be fixed and they can fuck right off with one drive. Every file should be on my computer unless I specifically save to a clearly designated cloud drive. No cloud functions should ever touch files I have saved (by default) to my computer. Also unfuck the start and explorer menus and give me back my pinball.
OneDrive also deletes files off of your computer if you don’t use them often enough. When I was switching over to Linux I had to download a bunch of stuff that was made on that PC! Ridiculous.
Like, you can turn that off, but I don’t think I ever signed up for that specifically.
Yeah, I just don’t trust it so I don’t use it. I have one drive storage and use it, but only on my phone and via the website. I don’t let it touch my windows install because it’s just waaaaaay too aggressive.
I do not because I have never installed windows 11 on a computer personally. I tediously forced all my windows 10 installs to local accounts and forcibly clawed back my local folders on my old laptop after one drive stole everything. I’m also still super skeptical about how “easy” it is to avoid one drive “integration” on windows 11.

After that we can talk, but I’m still skeptical.

You know you can decline the onedrive folder sync during initial setup right?

Stop spreading disinformation then.
