Comment on Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself
dotMonkey@lemmy.world 1 year agoOr I could just ignore the things I don’t use. You guys blow this way out of proportion. Don’t get me wrong, I love the simplicity and barebonesness of Linux OSs, I have a desktop install and run a home server using it too. But does the presence of edge or news affect me? No.
I worry about the telemetry and customizing my OS to exactly the way I want.
Things like swapping Ctrl and Alt without needing to spring extreme protocols or run software that is a security risk. It’s just a couple of toggles on Linux.
But it’s a “to each their own” kinda stuff 😅 After work I can’t look at Windows anymore.

Edge affects me cause with every typo in the desktop search, Edge opens and then springs like 5 popups and notifications on me that don’t have close buttons.
And the news widget pops up whenever I happen to touch it with the cursor.
Things like this aren’t a problem by themselves but if you use the OS a lot, they all add up to a really annoying UX.
And I’m reminded every day that Microsoft controls what happens on my PC, not me.
