Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.

    Microsoft is doing an amazing job keeping me off selling windows 11!

    Keep up the great work!

    Guess it’s time for Linux and for me to give up gaming :/

        Yeah but I’m a weirdo that actually likes early access games and random indie stuff that rarely works with Linux so a large part of what I like won’t work.

        Also star citizen… lol

      With Proton, a large majority of games run on Linux, and most even better than on windows.

          Proton is steam’s version of wine which is used automatically when you install any game that doesnt have a specific linux version.

      I switched to Linux last week and I haven’t had any issues with my Steam games. Just had to turn on the setting to have Steam provide Linux support for games that don’t provide it themselves.

      I’m gonna start sounding like a shill, but check out Nobara. Painless install, steam games just work out of the box.
