This is it. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back. I've been on win10 for almost a month now, and I'm switching all my machines to linux. This OS is fucking apple-tier spyware bullshit where nothing works, nothing is configurable, and everything sucks so hard I literally can't get any fucking work done. The games aren't even worth it anymore, fuck you microsoft.
>>52386453
The EULA speaks for itself. Literally botnet.
>>52386522
Can't say I read it, figured it couldn't be so bad if I turned all the privacy invasion bullshit settings off. Hell, privacy wasn't even my main issue. I thought the productivity shit like virtual desktops finally coming might be worth, but everything is just so fucking broken, wonky or locked-down that there's just no way this is a viable OS. You could spend weeks trying to get this thing to work the way you want it to and it would still be garbage.

Welcome to the club.
Go with an Ubuntu spin if you already know your way around them.
Otherwise try Manjaro or Antergos so you get a rolling release distro, the AUR and the best Linux documentation on earth.
>>52387162
thanks but I'm thinking debian to be honest, I'm familiar with it from a few years back. Worked well then, I'd imagine it's still at least decent.
>>52386453
yup OP, I did the same. When Win10 came out I've finally devided to move to Ubuntu. I'm very happy since I did it.
I'm sticking with 7 for now, but I agree OP. Microshaft just went too far with 10.
>>52386453
Works for me.
>>52387516
I can't wait for ubuntu 16.04 desu familia
>>52386453
I'd do that too once I find a way to run PhotoShop and Sai on it.
I already like Linux but I draw shit on tablet, and game casually, so I'm sticking to 7.

All you need to change your keyboard layout is literally one config file in /etc/vconsole.conf.

>WINDOWS 8 users yet to make the jump to Windows 8.1 or, dare we say it, Windows 10 will need to take action today as the earlier version of Microsoft's much criticised operating system is effectively end-of-life from Wednesday.
This is, for once, slightly less melodramatic than it sounds. It's no different to, say, Windows 7 requiring you to have a service pack installed to continue support, it's all about changes in terminology.
However, with 2.76 percent of users still on Windows 8, according to this month's figures from Netmarketshare, that's still potentially hundreds of thousands of computers that will stop getting security updates.
Windows 8.1 fares slightly better with 10.6 percent, but there is every chance that it will be overtaken by Windows 10 this quarter.
Part of the problem with Windows 8.1 was its rather messy rollout. Instead of being released through Windows Update like every other update over the past 20 years, Microsoft decided that it would make people use the new Windows Store. This involved engaging with the tiled 'Metro' or 'Modern' interface that no-one wanted, so a lot of people didn't do it at all or took a long time doing it.
Windows 8 figures have gone into a steeper decline since Windows 10 came out, which is very difficult to avoid, as holdouts sidestep Windows 8.1 altogether. And as the nag screens get more insistent, it's very likely that we'll see a sharp death for Windows 8, down below the nominal levels of the much alluded Vista.
The message if you are still on Windows 8 is clear: upgrade to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 today, or you could start to see nasties tomorrow far worse than the prospect of Candy Crush Saga being preloaded.
That said, Windows XP is in the same position and still the world's second most popular operating system. So perhaps it's all hype and smokescreen. Which doesn't sound like Microsoft at all. µ

Windows 10 is shit and all reviews are paid
I can't believe this fucking shit I'm seeing right now. Stellar reviews all over the place for something that is LITERALLY, and by that I mean LITERALLY, LITERALLY the same shit as 8.1 except with a shitty meme start menu, different but still shitty phone tier unusable meme apps, and shitty meme assistant Cortana that mines your useless normie data. Oh, and a fucking ripoff of Expose from 5 year's ago Mac OS but with worse animations.
That wouldn't be all that bad but it is missing many features from Windows 8, most important one being COLORFUL TITLE BARS. Now everything is so white it will burn your retinas off, this is fucking ridiculous, you could always change that color in Vista, 7 and 8 but now you can't anymore because fuck you. You can't even change icon spacing for the desktop or pin shit to the left side of the start menu, if you disable recent apps it just shows empty space... WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED THAT WHEN YOU CAN PIN TILES TO THE RIGHT HOLY SHIT EVERYONE IS GOING TO PIN HIS FAVOURITE APPS THERE GOD FUCKING DAMN IT I'M SO FUCKING TRIGGERED RIGHT NOW. And finally it's still full of fucking duplicated apps/programs like the new shitty settings, inconsistent icons, rough animations, shit's that early as fuck (Edge, are you kidding me with this shit? Literally IE but slightly faster in some shill benchmark and MS Paint built in because that's what everyone wants right? Being able to scribble shit on web pages, what's the fucking point?).
TL;DR I am surrounded by shills how do I stop this?
By the way I'm seriously considering switching to Linux or Mac, this shit is the last straw I'm so fucking done with this shit tier pleb os.

Well, obviously it's beta-grade software, and you're a beta tester to test it for free. Why are you refusing to do the work you have been assigned by Microsoft? Also, you are obligated to host updates for other users - not only are you a free beta tester, but also a file server provider for Microsoft.

Windows 7 won't live to see its supposed EOL in 2020. Any 7 installation connected to the internets will be obligatorily "upgraded" to 10 way before that (next year tops I presume).

Sorry, your post is conflicting. "Apple-teir spyware", Apple is one of the most privacy oriented oriented closed source proprietary developers out there. They built a warrant canary into their EULA and they made it so even they can't see your data so when they get requested to show it to somebody they physically can't. Doesn't scratch the surface of what Linux offers, but it's not bad. The bad part about Apple is your other point, "nothing is configurable".
Then there's the glaring issue that you say "spyware"..."where nothing works, nothing is configurable, and everything sucks". None of that has anything to do with spyware.
That said, I support your move to Linux and welcome you with open arms, but I hope if you plan to play the elitist card online, you start presenting yourself as somebody who knows what the fuck their talking about.

It's always been a mantra that you don't adopt a new Microsoft OS before the first service pack. They are universally problematic.
The problem with 10 from an interface standpoint is that it's still essentially 8.2 under the hood, and a lot of the design mistakes from 8 are still there. It's not so much unfinished as it is jumbled and disorganized. It lacks consistency.

Yea I like getting work done too but googling and reading ubuntu forums for 2 days straight just to install a wifi driver is too much.
Don't fall for linux meme.
>>52386453
Embrace the autismo life style
Install Arch on your desktop
Deploy home server on mom's basement
Install debian on it. Setup ssh server. Setup rsa keys 4096.
Learn vim. Use tmux. Forward ports
Use it from anywhere (but don't leave your house)
Rethink your life
Install gentoo

Gosh, that's unfortunate. It just werked for my Kubuntu install. Only wifi problems I get is the occasional random dc which is fixed w/ 2 clicks.
It was actually worse on WIndows 8.1.
>dc from the Internet
>wifi icon has the warning icon over it
>can't open WIndows 8 wifi settings
>troubleshooting can't resolve the problem/says there is none
>try to disable & re-enable the wifi adapter

Sorry if that sounded bloggish. But, really. Give Linux a chance. It can be good for alot of things.

Only some of your vidya. Anything that doesnt have a native linux build will have to be run on WINE and will likely take a big performance/stability hit.

Not OP but teah I am really fucking tempted to do the same. Any reason you are using 14.04 over 15.10? Just the LTS thing?
>>52386453
I have done the exact same thing.
Moved to xbuntu with a win 7 VM for when I need a couple of apps.
I could spend the time faffing with wine if I wanted to but it's easier to boot the vm or leave it running.
If I could do the same on my tablet I would.

Biased but nevertheless intresting article, nicely written.
>>52389478
That reminds me. There are claims some of the recent updates for W7 and W8.1 backport some of the botnet features from W10. If this is true, wouldn't it be better to reinstall 7/8.1, disable all updates, then not worry about EOL since you're not getting updates anyway?
Use linux with PCI passthrough to a Windows VM.
- Get a CPU that supports VT-d.
- Have at least two devices that can output video (iGPU + discrete)
Been doing that for 3 months now. It works great. Linux host has the integrated graphics, Windows guest has a R9 270x.
Setting it up is a bit hairy now and requires some research, but if you set it up this just once, it's amazing.
>>52386453
>apple-tier spyware bullshit
ahahaha, no. Apple doesn't have this problem.
>>52415586
just don't install those botnet updates and install the others
>but ms put a backdoor in windows
then the only solution is open source, family
>posts old article about feature that can be turned off.
Bet you use Android botnet phone and besides unlike you I have nothing to hide since I am not pedophile.
>>52388897
Since you are not specifying which distribution you are using I'm just assuming that is a trolling attempt. Its literally right on the desktop.
>>52415586

Even if they did that they're completely blocked on my end. On the downside I cannot connect to any microsoft servers, so hotmail and msdn is out.

Apple does not spy on you like Windows does.
Windows has always been the worst operating system of the three.
I'm happy that you finally realized that.
>>52415625
I'm tempted by this, but then I'd have to sacrifice a monitor just for the Windows VM which I wouldn't even be running all the time.

There are grandmas that play Disgaea and GTA V, shame on you.
Just switched to Linux Mint from Windows 10 .
I don't want to be an beta tester , don't want any unfinished software fucking up my system .Linux is great because the community wouldn't release anything unusable and there are more eyes on the code than the entire workforce of Microsoft .

This is why I don't use anything past 7 day to day. I experimented with 8.1 for a little while, but 7 was really the last good version of Windows. Still waiting for a Linux distro that doesn't require me to jump through hoops to play all my games or run my software in a manner more poorly than Windows does out of the box. Mac OS X comes surprisingly close, but its hardware support is shit.

Things have gotten so bad that Microsoft has taken to giving away their OS. What used to be a $99 upgrade is now free. If you take the 110M activation count they just released at face value, that is over $10B in revenue lost. They were so afraid of users not upgrading in ways which would mirror the mass Windows 8.x avoidance that they have given up $10+B so far. In spite of this you might want to think about the market, there are literally billions of PCs out there that could easily and without cost be upgraded to Windows 10.
>>52418016
110M out of several billion is not a large percentage. This is desperation in it’s most basic form. People don’t want Windows, aren’t willing to pay for it, and don’t see the advances as worth paying for. Actually tf the numbers Microsoft released are true, they don’t think it is worth upgrading for free either, the ‘advances’ being offered are not worth the price, free. People just don’t want the crap they are shoveling, it may be necessary for some things but unlike phones and tablets but consumers don’t want it. When you have a market of potential customers unwilling to expend the effort needed to click on an icon for free, not to mention shelling out money, your company is in deep trouble.
> friendly reminder to stick with windows 7 and remove updates
>>52418030
The OS Microsoft is foisting is garbage and everyone knows it, there isn’t anything you can do on Windows 10 that you can’t do on Windows 7 or even XP. Barely any faster, significantly worse software, forced ads, forced insecurity, and forced patches that often brick systems. No one on the receiving end of the campaign wonders why people are not upgrading in droves, they are too busy researching phones to buy instead.
