I've been using computers since the DOS days, and Windows 10 is the worst operating system I've ever used.

If you HAVE to use it, use the LTSC version. It's still bad, but significantly less so.

Linux

Windows 10 is horrid. Stay as far away as you can, unless you LIKE the following: Ads, spyware, file deletion at Microsoft's discretion, word processing has thought police built in to make sure you are politically correct and LGBT nigger friendly, when you tell it to turn off it will sit there for an hour against your will and install updates you didn't ask for that will fuck up your drivers. It has an unprecedented amount of telemetry that watches your every move. Oh and a pajeet is running the company. I could go on and on but these are some of the important points.

I recommend staying with 7. Or linux. Or shedding yourself away from society and living in a deep dark cave with ample provisions to sustain you for large swaths of time.

11 is worse. The interface has so many bugs with the rollover text you have to click two or three times to hit what you want. (Not to mention the telemetry)

Nuh uh you are. Faggot.

After 7, Windows began shipping with spyware baked into the OS, acting like your hardware belongs to Microsoft, and routinely treating the user with open contempt.

Why would you put up with that?

[ - ] anon 1189126 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 08:42:22 ago (+0/-0)

Waaaaaayyyyy before Windows 7. Lol

[ - ] La_Chalupacabra 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 14:02:09 ago (+0/-0)

It was such a pain in the ass to have to wait for user feedback to learn if an update installed any of that spyware/telemetry/forced-OS upgay to 7.

Oh, you just reminded me of that Windows authenticator bullshit in XP.
Heh, I'm not even sure I ever owned a single, legit copy, truth be told.

You should absolutely use Linux.

[ - ] anon 3673406 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 03:44:03 ago (+1/-0)

Mint.

Pain in the ass to start, but long run will be better.

It plays most games, but anything that doesn't work or works poorly have a Win10 drive as well, it's dog shit but if you break it enough with things like debloater it can be usable.

[ - ] anon 1189126 5 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 03:19:11 ago (+6/-1)

Don't be a faggot. Use Linux mint. So easy

[ - ] anon 4996175 2 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 09:25:53 ago (+2/-0)

I love mint. Best OS. Dont even care about systemd. Xfce ftw.

There is this "mod" i guess you'd call it, https://atlasos.net. I have not tried it yet, but might since my shop PC runs Windows 10.
I do have Spybot Antibeacon running on that machine, so far never been bugged about updates, and appears to make it more private.

[ - ] anon 2810858 [op] 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 8, 2023 18:22:16 ago (+0/-0)

Can you post the link to install spybot beacon on catbox

[ - ] anon 1538361 -2 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 01:49:31 ago (+0/-2)

Windows 10 is good, great even. You should get it.

Lol!! Maybe. Fair accusation.

Yes, goy, upgay the 7 away

[ - ] anon 2403283 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 00:44:28 ago (+1/-0)

It's horribly bad imo - especially the danged email set up. The rest seems ok.

[ - ] anon 3047616 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 00:38:59 ago (+1/-0)

What a stupid question.

[ - ] La_Chalupacabra 2 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 00:25:39 ago (+2/-0)

If you're on Windows 7, get a solution going sooner than later because Steam is cutting support for (translation: won't run on) Windows 7 in 240-some days.
Even if you don't use that particular service, a big player like that is a sign that the rest are going to follow suit and your device is soon going to be made useless for gaming.

[ - ] anon 3655865 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 04:15:42 ago (+1/-1)

Steam is for fags

[ - ] La_Chalupacabra 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 13:26:22 ago (+0/-0)

Steam is just the canary in the coal mine.
If they're officially dropping Windows 7, then expect a lot of the publishers that do business with them to follow suit.
And, yes, it's faggy that they force you to use a launcher instead of just serving as a marketplace for standalone .exe's, which has yielded them way too much sway over the industry; I prefer GOG.

[ - ] anon 9392466 -1 points 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 01:48:26 ago (+0/-1)

It's not just Steam, a lot of games just simply don't run on Windows 7. More and more programs as well.

[ - ] anon 4187898 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 06:34:41 ago (+1/-0)*

Well it's been a hell of a run, and I got really good at these things, but it looks like I'll just not be using windows anymore once 7 becomes useless. Fuck Microsoft and their new woke spyware OS's.

Fuck I don't want to switch to linux. I've given linux many tries over the decades... and it always ALWAYS is a pain in the ass to use because at any point in time you may have to drop down to a command prompt and search the web for hours to find a command that looks like Klingon speak that's 541 characters long to turn on your wifi card. I've got better things to do with my time than become a goddamn PhD in recompiling the fucking kernel of my OS.

This is what I plan on going with in a dual-boot setup with 7: https://pop.system76.com/

It's specifically tailored for gamers, so I'm counting on it being dumbed down a bit for casuals like myself.

What os will you use then

[ - ] anon 4187898 0 points 2.0 yearsMay 8, 2023 19:50:51 ago (+0/-0)

How about TempleOS :D

I'll probably just not use anything else, and grow old and grey on Win7

[ - ] anon 1189126 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 08:40:19 ago (+1/-0)

I still play Civilization 2 which runs better in wine on Linux. Windows is so bad you pretty much HAVE to emulate it.

[ - ] anon 4996175 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 00:01:04 ago (+1/-0)

Linux for main pc and everyday browsing, windows for gaming pc and anything else linux cant run.

[ - ] anon 3574866 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 7, 2023 03:37:26 ago (+1/-0)

Eh I game on linux and since steam made proton it's got better performance using windows games than on windows.

Some new stuff and anti cheat software messes up but fuck those companies for using it in the first place.

Unless your company forces you into windows keep that shit off your home pc.

[ - ] anon 1811082 1 point 2.0 yearsMay 6, 2023 23:44:10 ago (+1/-0)

Definitely depends on the use case.

Are you using win7 now? Win10 is a bit worse, but lots of privacy violations.

Need it for games? work? etc. Some programs are definitely more supported by windows.

If there isn't a pressing need for anything windows specific, give some live distros a try. See if you like it.

I'm using windows 7

What gaming services are you using?
