    Imagine thinking you own your computer if it runs Windows instead of Free Software.

    OneDrive scans all the files on your computer regardless of whether you use it or not.

    Just delete the software and only use it from your browser.

    Or just delete Windows and use Linux.

    What about a link? I could let you have a link you could save to your documents folder? Would you like that? Would you like a link you could save and you could still save your actual file to our cloud? When you have internet trouble and can’t load your damn file you could stare at that link and know that when your internet is working again, your file will be right there in the cloud for you. Wouldn’t that be nice?

    They set me up a new Remote Desktop at work, and I couldn’t use it to do my work because OneDrive was trying to sync the whole contents of my Desktop to that machine, when that machine exists primarily to do work that is too network intensive to do from home effeciently.

      If a PC is my property the first thing I do is delete windows. But now-a-days I nearly never use hardware that I own.

        I switched my personal laptop to LMDE. It has a Windows 10 LTSC VM for some specialty applications that just will not run under Linux, but otherwise I make it work. My gaming PC is the only computer left in my house that runs Windows, and it’ll be getting switched to LMDE soon.
