    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.
