    Turned on my computer yesterday and this popped up. No option to decline. I had to go into the registry last week get all traces of OneDrive out. It’s worse than just ads; it’s also forcing its other products. Like: Bitch, I’m just here for your OS. Fuck off with all your neediness.

      I switched Linux distributions last night and it took maybe 15-30 minutes (including download time) and I’ve had no issues (once again). I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that crap anymore.

        I dont think the install time is what is putting people off switching OS, lol.

          Except that it was totally painless. It just works without an issue. This time it was Garuda, and part after install it ran an assistant where it could install a bunch of other applications for you too. It’s incredible how easy the process is compared to Windows.
