Whining about Windows 

I love (by which I mean can't flipping stand) how is always turning on OneDrive no matter how many times I try to get rid of it, and then producing lots of icons called "Where are my files?".

Dude, if you don't know, I certainly don't! Maybe you could stop randomly relocating them all the time, and we wouldn't have this problem.

On the desktop of my brand new , it just for some reason added a file called "My License", which appears to want to be the license info for some previous Windows computer, but a actually leads to, like, a dead link somewhere.

Oh, , you are so bad at pretty much everything!

And now it's decided to litter up the desktop with useless shortcuts to things that aren't installed / don't exist on this computer. Brilliant, brilliant!

@ceoln yeah I'm moving to the Apple family for my next set of hardware. Windows is just too buggy and gets worse with every release.

A friend was just teasing me about that. :) I wonder if all the relatively oldish games that I want to play (or better replacements) are on Mac (or for that matter Linux (or Chromeos?)) these days.

Currently it's in the mode of urging me to put lots of stuff into the Microsoft Cloud or whatever, putting stuff there even if I don't tell it to, and then spamming me with warnings that I'm running out of space there and should pay them money for more.

Subtle, guys! :P

Lots of games should work fine on Linux with WINE. If the games are on Steam there is a high chance that with Proton they should work fine or even better.

Made the switch from Windows to Linux, Fedora, about 5a ago and there are basically no reasons to go back.

@ceoln Games were the one thing holding me back, BUT:

1. Most games I want to play are older
2. I'm pretty patient about new releases these days
3. Steamdeck. It is my destiny.

But ya the constant harassment from Microsoft to use their crap is ridiculous. And lately it's been doing this trick where it reboots overnight, regardless of the fact that I had an unsaved Notepad open where I jotted down a quick link and to-do item for the morning.

And lately: lockups.
