It feels faster and it seems to use up less storage.

It feels like I no longer have to play tug of war with microsoft with owning my own device.

    I’ve been a Windows user since the 90s and only used Linux occasionally. But starting with Windows 10 this thing is becoming more and more difficult to manage. The unlimited amount of popups, changing settings randomly without asking, A/B testing on difficult computers or different accounts on the same Windows installation, some settings only appear after a while or opening/closing the software several times…

    It’s so painful to deal with. I’ll probably switch completely to Linux soon when I have spare time.

      What drive’s me crazy on my daughter’s Windows 10 laptop (Windows is required for her school) is there is a popup asking you to subscribe to OneDrive. It interrupts whatever you’re doing and you can only make it go away for a month. Even Apple doesn’t do that shit.

        Oh it’s even worse than that! They try to replace your usual libraries with a one drive folder, which can cause some real fucking problems for users who don’t understand what one drive is

        Don’t even get me fucking started at trying to explain sharepoint vs one drive

          Adobe does something similar, except you’re already paying for an Adobe device anyway. But I remember saving a couple of files in Photoshop when I first took my former job and trying to find them later and being unable to until I realized that you had to tell it not to save in their cloud service because that was the default option.
