    “Paste shit into a command line to get stuff to work”

    Like Linux? Or did I just pick a crappy distro as a beginner? On Nobara OS I couldn’t get a onedrive folder to work without konsole, and the one were setup was simple enough to work, I’m having bugs with files not syncing.

    A case could be made that I should use some Linux focused cloud with a flatpack install, but I can’t since my uni relies on MS. Admittedly, an issue because of their monopoly, but one that makes switching an effort for normal people anyways.

      Huh? Are you using an ISO from 2004 or something? I’ve never used a terminal on my PC outside of windows. On Linux I don’t even have one installed.

      In my experience Windows is bewilderingly complicated, prone to breakage, full of spying/ads, and is a bit of a UX/UI nightmare.

      It also just… turns sluggish over time. I’m not 100% sure why, but running their sketchy-looking disk cleanup utility seems to do the trick. Why it has to be something the user knows about and regularly carries out manually is beyond me, though.

      I just want my PC to work, not fight me, and not feel like a chore to use. Windows cannot give me that.

        Well, what distro are you using? I barely ever needed the terminal on Windows, while it comes up consistently for solving problems on Linux so far, so I must be doing something wrong.

        Pretty much most installation instructions for abraunegg’s Onedrive client include using it if only to install the package, and since I couldn’t get the GUI to work, also operating it.
