I've been dodging win 8 updates for weeks. Did you know if you kill the update service it auto turns on every time a usb device is plugged in or when you close the lock screen?? Did you also know that sometimes it restarts windows instantly when one of these things happens, losing all unsaved data? It's a computer crime that windows has to restart for updates in the year 2016.

Linux is pretty easy to use and has been for ages unless you have some exotic hardware, like any amd/ati graphics card, because if you thought their windows drivers were a nightmare then boy you have another thing coming with linux. You can also just naively google any poo poo you don't know how to do and it has nice little copy paste worthy answers if you run into anything difficult.

Fun fact, Apple doesn't track you and they take privacy more serious than any other tech company so maybe you should reevaluate what companies you support if you actually value privacy

gary oldmans diary posted:Windows 98 2nd edition compiled with the /opt:win98 switch on all dependencies from the get-go basically would have been as good for conventional desktop application loading and responsiveness as everyone getting modern SSDs in 1999 (as opposed to their 20% adoption rate, today). There is 0% likelihood that MS software engineers were unaware of this. The consequences of this would have been marginally better adoption of Win 98 2nd and abysmal adoption of every successive version of Windows that can't come close to that level of improvement. Limiting increments of improvement really is key. This seems like one of those "ford killed the water powered car" myths

windows 7 is the point where microsoft should have transitioned to windows as a service. The only end user visible improvement of windows 10 on existing PCs is being able to snap windows to quarter screens, and the only additional relevant improvement on new PCs is more up-to-date drivers. After windows 7 is when microsoft ran out of good ideas and started breaking poo poo again.

I told it I didn't want to upgrade and my computer stopped bugging me for a few months. Then a week or two ago, it started up again in overdrive - and coincidentally, my copy of Win 7 started getting really buggy out of nowhere. I ended up dual-booting Win 7 and Linux Mint just as a stopgap while I figured out how to make Windows 10 never upgrade on my PC, but honestly other than occasionally hopping back to Windows to play some Rocksmith or help my friend edit his Let's Play videos I haven't felt the need to leave Mint. It does pretty much everything I want it to do, and it's way faster and less bloated than Windows 7 was. Installing my Nvidia drivers was kind of a bitch, but then I remember when I did a clean reboot of Windows 7 a year or two ago I had to hunt down drivers on a different computer for my ethernet adapter and sound card just to be able to connect to the internet, lol. Linux literally did everything except the graphics card for me. Popular Human fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Apr 7, 2016 |

I've noodled with most of the links here to prevent a win10 upgrade but insofar as I've experienced the following link is the only way to actually keep it from happening. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3080351 Yeah you'll have the little gwx.exe running most of the time but the popup only happens when you reboot which is good enough for me.

my co worker worked at microsoft and he would sit there with his fat laughter and always tell me how stupid windows 10 is and brag about he gets all of his things with rebates so it took him about 2 years to get an i5 computer which bench marked about as good as a squid on a hot day lol turns out he just got on windows 10 and all the guys at the office are like "ooh windows 10" because we work at a software company and it only took 2 loving idiot managers who upgraded to windows 10 to convince 200+ people that hey windows 10 is actually REALLY good but nope lets stick with antiquated windows 7 that doesnt even do anything right anymore I downgraded to windows 7 because I was bored and I was like well this is dumb and immediately went back to windows 10 its like if you are drinking a orange soda from mcdonalds and when you leave the cup overnight in your car and the next day you go to pick it up and woops the bottom fell out and you get sticky orange soda all over the cup holder and it takes almost an entire roll of paper towels to clean up so someone reminds you you could have used a towel and not paper towels since they aren't as good as abosrding fluid as an actual towel and you feel kind of silly but someone had to clean up the orange soda and when itgets hotter the heat only makes it more sticky and if you left any coins in the middle console due to the stickiness when you try to pick them up they all stick together so you have a lot of coins all stuck together and you can't really use them for anything until you place them in a jar of hot water or even vinegar to break down all the sticky stuff offf but then the coins look like they are all hosed up but they don't really have a vaslue any way, they are just coins.

I've been dual booting for a long time because gaming is just not a thing in Linux and will probably never be. Even games made with multi-platform engines like Unity have usually various problems in Linux which the developers either don't care to fix or don't know how to fix. With my new computer, I've planned the hardware accordingly that I can run Windows in a VM and pass a graphics card through. As most games and even lots of general usage apps don't really lean on a modern CPU at all anyways these days this works actually really well and the general speed of software (mostly games) is basically as if I would run Windows directly. Besides being incredibly comfortable for me (no dual booting anymore, Windows is basically one command away and can be shut down just as quick while I'm able to just keep doing stuff in Linux concurrently) I can also restrict access of the VM or cut it off the internet altogether. With a proper setup you could for example whitelist steam servers and just let the linux host block everything else. Also, different OS images for different uses. It's a really nice setup.
