I want to have granular control over where my files are stored. If I want them stored in the cloud, I want that to be a choice I consciously make, not something that's defaulted at the operating system level.

So the hatred isn't really directed at OneDrive, it's directed at the fact that the operating system is making decisions for me, and they don't line up with what I actually want my computer to do.

I haven't used Windows in a few years (and never used OneDrive), so pinch of salt time, but...

I don't like the idea of M$ having direct access to all of my files and personal data

That and, there have been mishaps with OD deleting files

Also, i personally don't like software automagic, especially when i don't understand what is going on under the hood

Is OD just a folder? Where are my documents actually stored? What happens if my internet goes out? How much do i trust M$ to not bungle something or sell or leak my files?

For the uninitiated (like me before searching for this):

What form of esoteric incantation is this?! Witchcraft!

Why can't you complain about a company being shit when there are other options?

I don't use a lot of products, I still complain about them being shit because they deserve the bad press.

So I’m a total Linux noob are there issues with drivers? I have a laptop I would consider doing this on if I wasn’t worried about it breaking.
