    Your POV is laughable. 😄

    Don’t you know that everybody has that one friend, nephew, neighbor, colleague etc. that they ask for advice when buying a new laptop?

    I am one of those friends, nephews, neighbors that helps out in such situations. I don’t sit on my high Linux cloud smartassing average people to throw away that little bit of tech literacy they’ve gathered over the years while using Win and Win related software for a Linux learning experience they don’t want.

    I help them out to save money and still get what they need.

    As for people that don’t have such a person, they won’t be saving money to get an OS they’ve never heard of. They’ll get the option with Win installed. If anyone thinks differently, obviously has no contact with regular people outside of tech. 😄

    Here are my Filen testing notes from a couple of months ago. It’s a habit of mine so I don’t forget why I discarded some options.

    • It’s impossible to upload anything through the Win app. You can only set up sync folders where you need to place files. Through the web app, however, you can upload both folders and files.
    • The desktop app disappears as soon as you switch to another app, and you have to launch it again by clicking on the shortcut.
    • You can’t access data in the cloud via a virtual drive or anything similar.
    • In short, it’s unusable for my use case.

    Edit: Be aware that according to [email protected], the above issues have been rectified in the meantime, so you should give it a go before deciding.
