TL;DR I am using Windows and I want help setting up all the conveniences I enjoyed back into Linux… specifically an alternative to OneDrive.

I am going to admit something that is strange and maybe evil… at the least it betrays a loss of integrity and deficit of dignitity.

For the past few months I have been using Microsoft Windows as my OS. It started with finally deciding to play with AI and turning on the features on my phone… which meant turning on Google Play Services… not necessary, but it is what I did.

Then I randomly bought some tiny Livaa PC to mess around with that came with Windows, so I got comfy with that.

As a student, I must use Microsoft Word because as much as Libre Office tries it just mangles the formatting. So, I discovered Office 365 and how it is easily accessible in the Edge Browser… plus Bing AI.

One day I just thought fuck it, I want to use all the music software, play all the games. I want to use my graphics card without needing to think. I want all the harware I bought to work. So I installed Windows. I use OneDrive. I ask Bing, and Bard, and Opera AI…

Well, I pay for Kagi because it is better.

Anyways, I think I had my fun. I want to go back. I need to, it is potentially immoral not to.

Please help me transition back!

    Pop is growing in popularity for all the right reasons! I hope it works out great for you! A few tips I would give is to make sure to do backups and look into things like Timeshift to make unexplainable errors and potentially wonky package installs easier to undo!

      Backups are definitely a task I have been sleeping on. I will set that up.
