Built a computer for a coworker this morning. When I asked them what OS they want between W7 and W10 they said "surprise me". Which to me comes off as a general statement. What should I install for their OS, /g/?
Ubuntu
Install Gentoo
Clearly OP they want to be on the BLEEDING EDGE so install Arch
Depends on what they use it for. If it's just fucking around on the web/word processing, just put Ubuntu on there. Otherwise stick with Win7.

If you do not install a minimal OpenBSD system on his desktop right now, then everyone will be disappointed.
What else but Gentoo?
>>52865046
Win7, because you're not an autistic idiot who leaves work related decisions to a bunch of anonymous bastards on the Internet.
Gentoo/Arch dualboot
>>52865089
All its for is Facebook, YouTube, word processing and mass storage.
G4400
ASUS H110m-a
8GB 2133MHz RAM
256GB Sandisk SSD
2TB Seagate Barracuda

add this to this

Windows 7 but select the windows 10 upgrade so when you give it to them back they have to sit through the download and upgrade.
It's only fair if you spend time waiting around that they should too.
Trisquel GNU+Linux

Gentoo directly booting into Emacs
>>52865046
Windows 3.11
OpenSolaris. Aka OpenIndiana
>>52865123
Arch with cinnamon or mate DE
Microsoft Bob or Workbench
Both are fine choices desu
TempleOS
Fedora
OS X
But they would probably like it.
>>52865305
Ooh I'm not even a macfag but that would be interesting. I bet he would be surprised about it, but still might like it.
>>52865046
Windows 8 is between 7 and 10
>>52865046
Windows 98!
Play a hilarious prank on them and install Windows 10.
Definitely Arch. There is no other viable option.
>>52865046
OS X
>>52865076
Took me by surprise, topcom man, made me chuckle at the toilet. I hope no-one noticed.
It's not original but it works really well in this scenario.
Nothing more surprising than templeOS
OpenBSD - Gentoo - Win95 - Solaris quadroboot
Hanna Montana Linux

Are you new?
Moebuntu is the only sane option.

You can get legit windows 7 keys or you have to use a loader?
Windows Vista for sure.
Windows 10. The upgrade is soon to be forced anyway. When his computer is forced to undergo an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, he'll come back and say
>Anon broke my computer
>Anon, my computer took forever to start last night then it kept turning on and off by itself. It was stuck at 15% so I just hit the power switch. Now it doesn't work at all. Know anything about that, Anon?
>Anon why did you give me this old Windows 7 thing? Now I have to upgrade it myself.
>>52865123
You can't install Windows 7 on a Skylake CPU anyway.
>>52868445
>The upgrade is soon to be forced anyway

>>52868467

OS/2 warp is the only choice
>>52865339
He would probably be pleasantly surprised.
moebuntu

>You can't install Windows 7 on a Skylake CPU anyway.
I believe this anon, your picture is fake.
Give them Elementary or Arch anon anything else would be a gross misuse of this opportunity

M$ just isn't support new cpus on new OSs. Doesn't mean you can't try to use them on older ones and or create after market patches for them.
