Or onedrive integrations and constant ‘backup your computer now’ popups which are _advertisements_ for onedrive, or Netflix, Spotify, or LinkedIn pre-installed and difficult to remove, or all of the above reinstalling during windows updates.

In fact, basically any feature added since Windows 10 is probably unwanted.

As if Apple doesn't berate you with unskippable notifications to sign up for iCloud, buy more space, etc etc?

I have been on a MacBook Pro exclusively for the past 3 years and I do not ever see anything about iCloud. I also never signed up so may be that is why?

This isn't a competition. I just want those things gone.

Comparing windows to an OS I don’t use isn’t a fair comparison unless my work machine stops being windows. I assume Apple are a slightly less variant of bad though

It only does that if your iCloud is full and even then it’s just not as annoying and show stopping.

My iCloud is full. Every once in a while my iPhone nags me to upgrade for a few days in a row and I tell it no and it goes away for 6 months or so. My Mac has never once nagged me about iCloud storage.

You know maybe OneDrive wouldn't suck as much if it was a native app and not qt.

I don’t care if it had the best UX of all apps on windows. I don’t want or need data scraping in the form of cloud storage.

Edit: but I am somewhat surprised that it’s qt and not the typical react electron bloat that Microsoft is slopping out. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
