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”.
