Storage and memory management is basic functionality. OSes universally suck at this. Partly because they can't predict the future and are mostly reactive in their behavior. Partly because they can't reason. The user can.
And if you don’t want to be beholden to a billion dollar company, maybe don’t buy suspiciously under priced hardware from them that is obviously subsidized by their ad/service empire?
And again, I contend this is not basic functionality. The example in the article isn’t basic functionality, it’s a bandaid on a broken OS.
