I consider everyone still using Windows by now to be masochists of the worst kind.
Who would want to have backups of important files on a Microsoft server? Probably located in the USA, where it's contents are free game for the snooping agencies? If you are not a US citizen (and even that is no real protection) they will hoover every byte about you "just in case".
I’m waiting for the inevitable Lemmy comment from an engineer or sys admin that tells me to install Linux.
I mean you seem to understand the solution but keep doing it wrong anyway
Well I'm neither of those. I'm not a tech bro and I don't really understand computers well or what a tick tock does. I'm just an old dude who's been using standard desktop stuff since windows 3.1 and DOS before that.
You should install Linux unless you absolutely need either commercial architecture software or Excel for specific things.
MS is the devil and windows sucks balls. I use windows on a work machine and it is objectively worse than most Linux flavours.
Start on Mint or KDE Neon if you're coming from windows.
As they say, don't knock it till you try it.
Windows has fallen billions must install TempleOS
Well, it is only consequential. I mean, the guys know.
Well have you installed Linux yet?
Got it on some stuff in the house, but my daily driver another OS in the *nix family.
Not masochists, just people with very different needs, privacy concerns and overall tech knowledge than you. Not sure why this is hard to understand by some folks.
Yup. $100/year for all the office apps/programs plus 1TB of backup for all 6 people in my family. Decent deal IMO since I'm paying at least that for PS+ yearly.
