On shit-tier operating systems like Windows, yeah. Most installers also initiate some bullshit startup service that increases boot times and RAM consumption, and Windows can't into permissions so these programs can do whatever they like.

I'm forced to use Windows for school, but I make a point to never use non-portable apps as they inevitably cause slowdowns.

This!
You can see it on your own.
Look a at fresh installed and updated Windows and compare it to a Windows, which has been established a year or two ago.
Even worse: Every time to update your windows there happens something. For example if you install Windows and install straight all available updates it run fast. But if you install monthly the new updates then windows gets slow. With every update it is getting slower.
Very strange.

So for any program that you can, you use a portable version of it instead of actually installing it onto your system? Are you also able to create shortcuts of those systems?

>>46680246
That's what happens when an OS supports decades of legacy cruft, has an employment model that encourages sabotage and incompatibility, and doesn't give any shits about standards or cleanliness.

>>46680248
Well, it means the program can't set environment variables, so you have to do that by hand (e.g. setting GOROOT in order to be able to run the go compiler). But in general I would say it is much better.

>>46680313
Not for any program; most small and especiall open-source programs have a standalone version (look for a .zip file in the same directory that you download the .exe or .msi from) but some do not. There are groups like PortableApps that create portable versions of programs, but I'm wary of them.

>>46680264
The selection of screen-recording software for Windows is complete shit, and ShadowPlay is the only one that even comes close to being fast and high-quality enough. And GFE is the only way to access ShadowPlay functionality. I wish Windows had something as good as ffmpeg -f x11grab or wcap.

Vmware thinapp is an application packaging and sandboxing software.
Basically it can be used to create "portable apps", and/or to sandbox apps that put crap everywhere.

I've been using it for 6 years, back when it was still thinstall.

It's not exactly easy to use, you have to read documentation and shit the first time, and know how to use a vm to create the package. Also, not all software can be thinapped.

I have had no luck with OBS. When it doesn't give me a cryptic startup error, it fails to record part of my screen (just replaces it with black bars). No the black bars don't have to do with the output resolution, they're a bunch of different rectangles, not just two. Might have something to do with Optimus.

Even then, ShadowPlay has better performance and better quality. I know you're a lifelong winfag and haven't seen how easy and good screen recording can be, but trust me, OBS is not to my standards. And GFE also handles driver updates, and gives me an FPS counter in games, so I don't really regard it as something extraneous (and as you can tell, I'm a huge autist about not having extraneous bloat installed).

just a name i am used to from linux that isnt used by windows so it isnt going to get fucked up. i can take the bin directory and stick it on another machine and all my programs and their configuration are there. it is lovely and i have a batch file which sorts all the file type associations for me. it is much more convenient for me. also means i can test out newer versions of programs without killing my current install and can have multiple versions of programs installed without any conflicts.

My old windows XP is esentially blowing up with the built up problems of five years I think, and despite my tech magic this is a microsoft product anyway, so I am preparing everything to reinstall it, AKA downloading all the software I use on it.
I wanted to know, out of curiosity: What does /g/ think of the portable apps platform? This time I am going for a full portable install and a data partition so I don't have to go through this again, but I was curious about that. Not that I am going to stop using it anyway.

Pretty bloated, but considering this is my main pc and it hosts a few different servers thats fine.

I'm going to reinstall my laptops OS and see how lightweight I can make it, I'm interested in using SSH and running as much content from home or from a VPS as I can. If that works well I'm gonna fiddle with doing some hard power saving stuff and see if i can get a real decent battery life out of it.

My client is a daemon that runs on a headless server. I manage it through a web interface and ssh. I can add torrents any time, from anywhere, even from my phone and from RSS feeds. I throttle bandwidth based on the time of day so it doesn't interrupt my normal browsing. It just works and I have no ads or bullshit of any kind.

You don't even know what it's like to have a worthwhile torrent client anon.

I'm totally impressed. Tell me more about your almighty "worthwhile client", and how you can add torrents from your phone and RSS feeds. Tell me how nice and convenient it is to have a web-based torrent client, and how you "throttle" your bandwidth. This sounds fascinating. I want to know more.
You might not want to though, since you don't want to name it. Don't worry, I won't even try to use it.
