OneDrive, I fucking hate that thing. Rest I can tolerate but OneDrive really grinds my gears.
My computer installing an update and restarting because I was away from my desk. I won’t settle for any other OS though since Paint Tool SAI only runs on Windows.
That’s on you. Mine’s set to update at night so I never even notice.
Ah yes. Come back in the morning to resume my work and everything is closed. Thanks, Microsoft.

Welcome to the New Microsoft ___!
I am so tired and this is only my 4th year.
Nowadays it’s the online account centric shite and all the privacy implications that come along with it. But even before that it was annoying to just try to do the thing
Doing the thing on linux: command that does the thing
Doing the thing on windows: click here, click there, click some more, second tab, submenu, click advanced, type in the info, save, ok, “yes I’m sure”, click ok, click apply, close 626254 windows, rebootAnd most people still seem to prefer that because terminal bad.
The lack of primary selection/middle click paste. I select text, try to paste it and then have to sheepishly go back and actually copy it for realsies.
I used to get annoyed at the lack of multiple workspaces, but since switching to a multi-monitor setup, I don’t really use multiple workspaces any more.
On my old computer whenever I would launch my computer, the desktop icons would be randomly strewn around the desktop. I had to get a utility app that I would run manually once my computer started in order to fix it.
I hated having to do everything in a window. The desktop wasn’t really a thing.
Notifications, suggestions, and just generally having make the OS get out of my way so I could do what I needed.
I can’t launch minecraft without first opening the microsoft app store signing out, then signing back in.
I have to use Windows for work and the most annoying thing is the OneDrive-Sync. It makes the explorer extremely slow. When I open it, sometimes it takes more than 5 sec till I can use it. Wtf is this, 1997? Another thing is Teams with the awful performance and constant design changes.
And the “endpoint protection” that scans god only knows what (sends it all online too) when you, tadam, opens the context menu by right clicking. It often takes 40 seconds.
MS Edge, its a good browser. But fuckin hell does Windows love to shove it in your face every chance it gets.
The fact that it isn’t open source and costs money to use. I actually like Windows over Linux even as someone who has written Linux kernel drivers for a living, or maybe because of that but the fact that I can’t poke around the code and improve the system is annoying to me.
It’s also why I’m working on a project to develop my own OS from scratch that has a better design and programming interface than POSIX and Linux respectively and is easy to use like Windows. It’s not an easy task but certainly a worthwhile one IMO.
it feels like the natural result of corporate agile. dozens of teams doing little pieces with one dude making each smaller part all on their own. then someone just overrides the merge rules. and now i’m stuck trying to follow the ravings of angry lunatics all talking at once. i just want the os to shut up and do what i tell it to do. and i absolutely do not want it to start pretending its alive with some stupid chat bot ai nonsense.
To list a few:
- Onedrive deleting my files
- Very slow
- ads
- ai bullshit
- updating is a pain
- recall
I have to use it for work, and I hate how links to other apps, say a Teams meeting, dot open up the app. Rather, they open a new tab in a browser, only to open the app while leaving a blank open tab in the background. It’s just sloppy as hell.
