I’m the same used windows on my gaming pc most of my life and never had any of these popups. I’m starting to think it’s the Linux fanboy herd over exaggerating things to push false news. The Linux fanboys on this site are worse than fucking conservatives.
There’s a wide variety of ways in which Microsoft adds more and more annoying shit to Windows, but this isn’t one of them. It’s a harmless, helpful reminder.
I got the message in Windows once or twice. It was easily dismissed. I got the message every time I booted Linux for a while.
I don’t even mind something like this. File systems slow down when they get filled and hard drives are especially hard to get decent performance out of when you fill them up more than a certain percentage. Yes, even on Linux fragmentation exists, and no, there is no automatic defragmenting nor is there any GUI you can click to fix fragmentation once you’ve cleared up space.
With how much ammo Microsoft gives Linux fans, I’m baffled by someone getting upset by a “your disk is nearly full” warning that any usable OS will send you.
Probably doesn’t have auto defrag because God forbid the OS do anything useful for you without a hundred terminal commands and a two hour setup lest all the sweaty arch users barge in with claims of bloat and “reeeeee why can’t I just decide for myself”.

Amen
They love to bring up silly little problems that just straight up have an option in the setting if they cared to look.
My favourite is the “Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more” setting that disable all the ads they like to complain about.
And then they call themselves experts at computers…
