It makes explorer freeze when right clicking sometimes

That's just the beauty of the new context menu. OneDrive or not, it just freezes sometimes.

moving files is slow

Huh? Moving files happens locally, on your drive.

I can’t create a new folder and name it at the same time because it interrupts the process, so I create new folder, it takes over, then I have to manually rename it from new folder

That's true, this bit is infuriating.

    I'm still on Win10 and in general the context menu loads reasonably fast for me.

    But even in WinXP if you had broken registry values it would cause the context menu to load really slowly.

    Yeah, when I move files locally, on the same volume. It's real fun watching my Explorer hang when moving files, I have a few hundred thousand files in OneDrive and however they're indexing and tracking them is pretty fucked. And no, it's not the disks.

    I'm so done with Microsoft.

    I gotta be honest, man - it seems like something's fucked with your OS.

    Moving files locally has nothing to do with OneDrive. Once you move the files within a OneDrive-synced folder, the service will just update their location info and re-sync them. It doesn't "desync -> move -> sync", it's literally a local move.

    Have you tried moving similar amounts of data in non-synced folders?

    Yup, only happens in folders that are synced, I actually reinstalled Windows specifically because of the issues I was seeing.

    I don't know what exactly it's doing but it annoys the shit out of me. I should probably use process Explorer or something to check what is going on but I'm too lazy.

    I moved some pictures a little earlier and it did it again.

    Did you run any "debloaters" or such after the reinstall?

    Nuh, I just use Enterprise and disable the shit I don't need.

    Ill probably just move to Arch tbh.

    If you never used Linux before, Arch can be difficult. As with all Linux, many things randomly just break for no reason at all, but with Arch YOU can break a lot more too. Then there's the AUR package repository which has been breached and infected with viruses a couple of times recently.

    Still, if you use your PC for games, I can very much recommend Garuda Linux, which is based on Arch (meaning: the entirety of the phenomenal Arch Wiki will be helpful), but has a couple of tricks, like the Rani app, which help with the day-to-day maintenance of the OS massively. I'm using it and it's pretty good, although you may need to tweak a bunch of things first.

    I'm sys eng/devops/whatever marketing terminology they decide to use, so I'm okay with running Linux, it's more annoying that I'll have to probably dual boot to be able to use the Autodesk applications I use.

    But thank you for the suggestion, I'll give it a look.
