I totally misread the title ๐Ÿ˜ญ ~~That is a very deceptive title. These are problems he noticed in Windows 11, not Linux.~~

The Mailbird issue isn't really a Windows problem either.

But I'll totally give him the OneDrive bullshit.

No, but he explained that the problem would have been easier to solve on Linux.

Not sure it would have been for a normal computer user though; I for one know how to SSH on my homeserver, but I don't know how to do that on my desktop Linux.

It was installed in the Microsoft app store. It's definitely their problem.

All the packages in the default Debian repos are verified. Malware that covers the screen in ads and locks up the computer (intentionally) would never make it into the Linux repos.

Sure I could see that being a Microsoft problem, but a bad app is not a Windows 11 problem.

That's like saying nobody should use Linux because of the Shai-Hulud worm.

Shai-Hulud wasn't installable in the the official repos
