People aren't just rejecting it and staying on 10. They are actively downgrading (going back to windows 10) or leaving the windows ecosystem entirely for Linux. Someone actually went out of their way to tally up and explain all the shit MS broke over the course of the last year. It's a ridiculous number of things.

    Microsoft removed my quick access links to my desktop folder today

    why? I don't know. I guess they want to force me to use the OneDrive desktop folder. which I do use, for shit I want synced to OneDrive. but I also have a local desktop folder I use for temp files, and fuck you very much Microsoft left me fucking use my computer how I want to

    side note, I had a little program that would export a file that a user had open to their desktop in a specific format. great program, super useful for the application we were running it in, it made a multi-step process of navigating menus into a single button click. I've been using it for the past few years at this company. cue my surprise when some new people inform me that the button doesn't work for them and so they haven't been using it - BECAUSE MICROSOFT TOOK AWAY THE LOCAL USER DESKTOP FOLDER LMFAO. it blew my mind that people had to go manually create a desktop folder, I had never thought to add checking if that folder exists to the code.

    Yeah, OneDrive became an instant uninstall for me because of how it works. I have 2TB of empty cloud storage that I would love to use, but refuse to completely rework my file structure. I am not going to move literally everything. I'll let you read my boring ass work shit, I don't care, I let Google do it probably when I upload shit to drive, I just want to organize things the way I have them, because that's how they work.

    I don't know about such claims. I've just finished installing W10 on one of my laptops.

    Use case? BMW coding tools are only built for Windows and using them via wine doesn't really work.

    As a long time Linux use I can't even describe what I'm feeling right now.
