Make the switch to Linux! Even if you need proprietary software for your work, you can dualboot and use a linux distro for your personal use.
Not the same person, but I'll say that I used Linux for a while before switching back to Win10. There were some features missing on Linux that were significant for QOL/efficiency with my job in web dev. The most significant was OneDrive support IIRC, but this was a few years ago now.
I'm open to considering other storage services, I mainly use OneDrive because it's free and convenient for my scenario. So 2 questions if I may:
Do you recommend a backup service that integrates well with a Linux distro's file manager service?
Are there any security services you would recommend for use on Linux? Defender is convenient on Windows, but I'm not sure what the reccomended Linux ones are.
Particularly with some bugs I've been dealing with lately, I'm tempted to jump back to ther other side.
I don't know of any backup program that integrates with a file manager. For my use case (plug in an external hard drive and backup stuff to it once a week) FreeFileSync works fine.
rcloneis a popular CLI program to automatically backup your files on a cloud service. With some searching, it seems that it also provides a web GUI and can be used with OneDrive, so I suppose that's worth checking.As for defender services, I have no idea, but from my understanding most people don't use an antivirus on Linux.
