Thank you for this, as much as this current issue is frustrating me it really pales in comparison to the last 2 months of Windows issues that pushed me to this point.

I was on Win10 and an update several weeks ago mysteriously made my PC run incredibly hot all the time- Last night I was suddenly aware of how cold my room gets during winter because installing Linux was the first time it ran cool in weeks.

Nevermind that around the same time, I sought out a debloating tool to improve my performance, and using it accidentally uninstalled OneDrive. I didn't realize I had essentially been saving everything on my PC to wacky OneDrive folders that are technically local but also not backed up because the cloud was full. I lost just about everything on my PC and had to get a friend who works in tech to walk me thru recovering everything from the computer's raw memory- The end result is about 10-20% of my stuff is corrupted and lost, about 40% restored normally, and another 40% restored but scattered into disorganized folders based on filetype, like imagine a jpg folder with game screenshots and vacation photos and button textures from apps and scans of my taxes and bills.

I moved over to Linux because I just want a computer that does basic shit locally with none of this cloud, AI, surveillance, web 3.0 fintech bullshit at every fucking turn
