I learned this lesson the hard way with OneDrive.

Now I only use Windows for legacy software that my customers force on me.

Fedora has not just been liberating, but jaw dropping. I actually felt offended that I had wasted so much time on debian-family/ubuntu/mint and windows.

OneDrive was born enshittified.

The concept, way back when, was great. I tried to use it, by a previous name, for replicating / distributing data backups and it always worked great... for a few days, maybe weeks. And then something unrecoverable went wrong, and I had to re-set it up essentially from scratch and it worked great... for a few days, maybe weeks. And then something unrecoverable went wrong.

In the intervening 15+ years, OneDrive has never made my experience of computing better. It has only ever nagged, slowed, and failed. And that was before Microslop went down the x% AI coding path.

		I personally like when you open any office doc, do nothing to it before closing and you get the scary warning asking if you want to save your document (to onedrive) implying all is lost if you select no. I am sure millions of tech unsavvy people have been conned into sending their data to Bill Gates.
