Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why (www.techspot.com)

When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft's cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.

I just made the switch and probably for good this time, and Steam just working was a HUGE moment for me. I opened up a guide thinking I'd need it, but I just downloaded Steam, didn't change any settings, and could start playing.

At this point, Linux is more of a "just works" experience than Windows 11 was.

I also made the switch with no plan of looking back, and the only thing was that some odd interaction between the integrated and dedicated GPU caused the Steam UI to not work. The fix was disabling "Hardware accelerated Web" something something, and I was playing shortly after downloading the first game.
