They always give you a scare since it looks like Windows is booting into a recovery environment. Just had one, and the only options I had were “Remind me in 3 days” and “Continue”.

It’s always about Microsoft wanting you to set Edge as your default browser as well as trying to get you to log in on a Microsoft account and you have to individually decline every suggestion since you can’t just skip the fucking thing.

Piss off, Microsoft

    The issue is Microsoft thinks they know what’s best for you. Sure, Linux might not be for everyone, but Windows is for no one. Microsoft is so aggressive about forcing you into things, including things you’ve gotten rid of previously. It’s really frustrating, so much that I eventually just got tired of dealing with them and switched. Linux has been great and nearly everything works perfectly, usually out of the box, except a few games with anti-cheat that haven’t included Linux.

      I straight up removed onedrive. Microsoft can fuck off with the duplicate user folder (including a second Documents, downloads, and desktop folder). So damn confusing both before and after I understood what was going on.

        I added OneDrive on my install using a third party open source sync service.

        The power of Linux is it’s my choice to use it, and that doesn’t invalidate your choice to not use it. Everybody wins.
