Recently realized when I drag to one drive, it moves the file, but when dragging out it copies. Perfect blend of data loss and anti-customer practices.
Just wait till you click and drag everything out of the One Drive folder onto your desktop, only to realize that the fucking desktop is also One Drive
I work IT in an Apple-heavy environment, and this was the worst to find out. I can't recall if it's just OneDrive doing it or iCloud, but either way, makes it a bitch to backup resigned/terminated users' folders when I'm offline or whatever.
That was super annoying to realize.
More like me looking for my entire Desktop
At least penguin won't stole your data.
I won't steal your data either.
I will, however, split your firewood.
Can confirm. I will not steal your data.
Thank you for not stealing data.
The cloud provider service isn't running.
And then you cant access your files because onedrive decided to update.
It is time for penguin.
If you are hesitant, try it on an old machine first. (If you have one)
Help, I'm now using the old machine as my daily PC and negletting the slopmachine! It has been months..
And it probably feels faster than the slop machine
Take the disk, plug it on the other machine, and delete any udev rule that you didn't create.
Done. Penguin on the faster machine.
MS just pushed their stupid OneDrive Photos as an update. I decided that's my last straw. It was one thing when I could toggle AI off, but this trying to connect all my pics to contacts etc is too far. I'm done. I just wish Tuta Drive was ready for daylight. Probably going to ride Mega until it is.
Worse is when they ask me for a file in a onedrive folder I don't have access to
Would you like any help picking a distro?
Any criteria? If newbie, there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint. If experienced, still there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint.
Edit: Oh dang, you were offering help. Thanks, I'm good. Could be useful for anyone who seeks help though.
I second Linux mint.
I encourage LMDE because it's not downstream from Ubuntu
Mint. I installed it and stuff just worked.
For gaming or regular use? I've tried both Bazzite and CachyOS on my gaming laptop. Even if I wasn't a tinkerer I would choose CachyOS any day for gaming. Mint over Ubuntu for regular use. My 2 cents
You can game just fine on any distribution.
You certainly can and I have several distros, but Cachy seems to be well suited with gaming. I am very sure I could tweak Mint to be comparable, but out of the box Cachy is a better gamer. One or two clicks and itβs all set.
One or two clicks and itβs all set.
But it's the same on Mint. I don't get it, What are the particular advantages of Cachy?
Is it the same on Mint? It isnβt for me. On Cachy, the welcome screen has a pick for Apps/Tweaks, then βInstall gaming packagesβ. Thatβs the difference.
Mint has a welcome screen, but it is very generic. Driver manager, software manager, etc. Sure you can install everything to make it work fine, but Cachy leads you straight into it with that one click and you are gaming within two minutes of OS load. Mint will take a bit longer. And I think it removes some of the package guesswork as well, especially for new users.
I went from mint to cachy because it just works better for games. Mint is alright though.
One or two clicks and itβs all set.
That's probably great, but I don't know what there is to set up. All I've ever had to do is install the packages for Steam and Heroic on OpenSuSE or Fedora. I suppose any other system is comparable.
It seems some distributions have issues with nVidia hardware (I never had trouble, although I'm running AMD for the first time in decades at the moment), maybe that's one thing those "gaming" distributions address. I don't really know.
Iβd have to go parse through the script, though Iβm certain someone else here already knows, but amongst other packages, proton, wine, steam and video drivers seem to be what it installs. I had to do all that manually on Mint and since it was my first Linux system I set up as a gamer I am sure I have some package versions set differently/incorrectly. Cachy takes the guesswork out of it.
I am olde and have been building gaming systems for many years. CachyOS is the easiest OS that Iβve ever set up. Am in a game playing within minutes. Even Windows was never so easy.
Agree. Some are just better suited. I mean I use CachyOS for both gaming and regular use. I was thinking more "is this a workstation or gaming rig" sort of divide. CachyOS have kernel optimizations for gaming, but smarter men than me need to say if that actually has any major impact. And its bleeding edge so you're always 100% up to date, that can be both good and bad of course. For me it's good. The two-click setup to have everything installed and done for gaming doesn't hurt.
Actually for both. For gaming, both of Bazzite and Cachy is good. I mostly suggest Bazzite for newbies though if it's gaming related. Cachy is Arch and I don't suggest Arch to newbies.
Hannah Montana Linux, obviously.
Obviously
Arch, obviously. What else would you choose?
I think OP would prefer Nix
Nah, Gentoo or Exherbo. Maybe LFS.
Actually, they seem like a fine Temple OS candidate
Varoom.
I'm kinda at the other side of the needle, I prefer Void myself.
I usually lose my stuff when i fall in to the void
At least falling into void provides some kind of serenity.
Last time i crashed out
Indon't understand why the mobile app is so terrible. It crashes all the time. The image thumbnails never load. Its like, this is your purpose for existing. Why are you so bad at it?
Whenever I try to access the already established personal vault it asks me to set up a vault. If I go through the steps nothing changes. It's stupid AF.
This description is very similar to all versions of the teams app. It took them like 3 years to get it past what felt like a beta.
The mobile app never worked for me for some reason and would crash constantly.
