Can you still use the computer? Other than the home folder (or the user folder), I think it's fine if regular users go a week without touching their C drive until Microslop fixes it (which they will, inside like a week).
I use Windows at work, and it's fine. I do use the home/user folder just because it's there and it's how everything's set up, but there is no other drive to use instead. If I were using it at home, especially if I had a laptop, I'd want the home drive to be on an SSD I could move between machines... maybe. But, I use Macs at home.
from the article
Having a computer that cannot launch applications, let alone access files, is basically the same as not having a working computer.
i put my computer stuff on the part of the computer where the stuff goes, losing access to the stuff on the computer would be a problem yes
I…. I can’t believe you are defending (or more accurately saying “it’s not that bad”) losing access to the root of your hard drive. It screams incompetence on Miroslop’s part.
