Ever since the latest cumulative Windows 10 update, the start menu takes like 2 seconds to open up. This is clearly some botnet shit sending statistics to Microsoft's servers about how I use my start menu.
Recommend a less cucked OS please (preferably Linux and not Gentoo)
>>54477909
Fedora
>>54477919
Will look into this. Need to be able to run Wine or some translation layer for Ableton as I do a lot of work in audio. Is there any alternatives to lightroom in Linux?
>>54477909
Get classic shell or buy a proper PC.
>>54477909
>takes 2 seconds to open up
You just have a shitty computer. Mine don't even take a fraction of a second

Just had the update on my PC and my lappy (XPS 15) and they're experiencing the same issue.
Just use Classic Shell. I mean it's not going to solve Window's horrific telemetry spying but at least you will have a functional Start Menu.
>>54478016
Fucking thanks.
There's also http://winworldpc.com/product/windows-nt-40
>>54477909
Open Wireshark
Open menu
See what happens
>>54478028
No problem you ungrateful turd
>>54478041
Contacts a microsoft search server everytime i open up my menu
fucking why
>>54478192
You probably have cortana set to search the web too which uses bing
>>54478248
Cortana is disabled, unless that's the issue.
>>54478271
You can't disable her
>>54477909
Linux is a kernel and Gentoo is a distribution, faggot.
No issue on my end boss.
Try using fiddler and see what's being sent out when you open it.
>>54478298
Well, she isn't functional at least. My search window doesn't pop up. Maybe it's a timeout issue.
>>54478313
>My search window doesn't pop up
Sounds like you killed her completely, did you change the name of her folder and then end her in task manager by any chance?
>>54477909
Debian + GNOME 3
It just werks
>>54478338
Yeah she's not even running in the background or anything.
>>54478368
Well that explains why your start takes so long to load, it tries to start up Cortana so you could use the search but it fails and then re-opens without it.
>>54478395
well FUCK
Manjaro werks out of the box that comes preinstalled with anything you will ever need
out of the box (expect wine: runyaourt -S winein terminal)
windows 7
Xubuntu
But also if you go to lunix. yo wont have that software...
alternati ves for audio and steam is on it. the the rest ?
>>54478271
You should really try Enterprise LTSB
it comes without cortana period edge and all other lboat apps etc. Works great.
make an account to get ISO's

>>54477909
remove tiles (disable live tiles), disable internet search, Cortana assistant
Cortana will still run in the background, but it won't be pestering the boot disk as much every time you open Start
>>54477909
>>54477919
This, switched to Fedora, best thing ever.
>>54478486
So it's just a core windows lite distro?
That sounds dope.
>>54477953
This. Classic shell is a godsend. So much faster
>sfc /scannow

Sorry for asking this
How do you pirate that version of Windows after installing?
I have a Pro license, but fuck it
>>54478486
What version am I going for here?
>>54477909
>that disgusting font rendering
Why cleartype is so shit?
>>54478547
yeah. no ortana at all an dnot in background. comes clean as windows 7. it's much better. no store though. not sure how to get the store but it also doesn't come with it.
>>54478753
The WIndows Loader works with it. I haven't had any troubles on multiple machines or installs.
>>54478785
The most recent. LTSb gets less updates I am pretty sure. but grab the most recent you see. It may be february for LTSB
I'll help seed. i snagged one last night

Generation has an ISO with all individual updates until April in all languages. I'm going to try it out.

darktable, but i doubt nearly as good
>>54477909
Slackware
>>54478298
Yeah you can.
>>54479026
You can't, you can only "remove" her but then you wouldn't be able to search your system, you'd have to use some 3rd party search.
>>54478975
>using pirated custom isos
lel
>>54477909
Get TinyWall and configure your built-in firewall.
You can try Antergos.
>>54478919
Uh I never said to get it from there. Those are just clean 10 ISO's
>>54478948
It is not bullshit. I installed it a couple weeks back. NO cortana even in background. It was like a clean Windows 7 install.
>>54478975
Yeah mine was slow last night I am seeding it now but i dont' see any activity. Maybe try another.
I had generation. it works but i prefer true ISO without anything. gl though Generations worked for me. Oh generation also has a LTSB on KAT. I really would get that. it's much more clean and runs better.
>>54478916
Windows 10 has the best desktop environment for desktop use. East shit
>>54480442
There is an unmodified kernel option that doesn't do post install-updates and you can select updates you wish to have installed.
These are the only things preinstalled (which I'm okay with) -

I'm going to get this installed on my laptop and see how she runs.
Either Fedora or Ubanto (or one of it's spins).
They're like the two actually functional distros in existence

My company uses Office365 yet somehow I only got the April 2016 update today and my Outlook is totally fucking hosed. I had to uninstall and reinstall it.
I'm for rapid releases but with Microsoft's staff cuts they're making devs do QA at the same time and shit is not working.

>>54483036
I'm using the LTSB btw, and I really like that it doesn't come with the metro faggoty apps and is kind of what a base Windows install should be like.
You can also defer upgrades so they don't bug you all the time
>>54483160
This is exactly what I need.
>>54483160
can you send me a screenshot of defering updates?
im on the verge of installing LTSB

thanks for sharing this man

You can do the same on Pro

Figured the problem out though

uh i just realized there was a win 10 update. will restart in a moment. i heard there are problems with some games? have you heard anything about that?
>Dreamweaver
holy fucking shit hahahahahahahahahahaha
>>54484035
I haven't had any problems with games yet. BF4/DOTA/GTA5 run perfectly fine so far. I had Cortana disabled which caused an issue with my start menu requesting information and timing out but I fixed the issue. It was unique to my particular setups.

Make sure you install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB N edition because it does not have anything installed, not even a media player or a picture viewer. It's literally the Arch Linux of Windows.

How are you enjoying it? My laptop broke the other week and I can't decide between the xps13 and the xps15
>>54485571
It's a dream. Literally one of the best ultrabooks I've ever laid my hands on. It's overkill for everyday use, and your money is probably better spent on something more modest but I do a lot of intensive editing and mixing on the road where a lot of notebooks fall behind for me, so this machine is perfect. It also serves well for my other hobbies like photography and filming.
>>54477919
erase all that bullshit out of your start menu. there is nothing in my start menu except for folder paths
>>54483160
defering updates is a enterprise option and not limited to just LTSB
>>54485653
I do photo and video editing and compile stuff so I wanted a beefy ultrabook as I also don't have space in my apartment, and I love the portability of a laptop too. Still deciding between the 15 inch and the 13.3 inch. What's the screen resolution of the 15 inch?
>>54485799
I don't have space in my apartment for a desktop*
>>54485799
I got the 1080p display because I felt like 4k is unnecessary at the viewing distances I use my laptop at, not to mention windows does not do scaling properly with certain applications that don't support it. In my mind, I justified it with battery life assuming a 1080 wouldn't need to be driven as much by the GPU and thus saving battery life - I doubt that's the case but it was another point I considered before buying the laptop. Depends on what you want really, but personally I don't think I would have benefited much from having a 4k display in anyway.
>>54485886
I'm also gonna put Linux on it. Not quite sure how well scaling is gonna be, but I'll roll with it.
>>54486050
Scaling in Linux is much better. relatively speaking.
>>54485721
yeah but it's a feature that I like so I mentioned it
>>54486109
Oh awesome. My last display was only 1600x900, so I couldn't tell. That's awesome thanks :)

bitwig is basically ableton except it runs natively under linux. look into that otherwise yes ableton runs fine in wine
>>54487192
Ableton itself is shit, but comparing Bitwig to Ableton is like telling a designer to move to GIMP because it's 'just as good' and 'basically the same' as Photoshop.
>>54487222
what does ableton have that bitwig doesnt have? ive only used bitwig
>>54487192
>>54487222
Bitwig looks really interesting and I've been meaning to get into it. I'm not sure about how well it handles VST's and ReWire but I'm willing to give it a shot. Might dual boot linux. I wish GRUB didn't fuck up my bootloader though
>>54487369
what kind of computer are you using? this page might help you depending on what kind of firmware you have (not just for arch)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Boot_loaders
for me bitwig has a better interface then ableton but i havnt yet been able to figure out how to import notes i played on my midi keyboard like i can in ableton due to the little support for it. i havnt tried getting any vsts on it yet mainly because i havnt found the time

When Nvidia released the latest driver update I ran a sfc /scannow after updating just to check things and no problems resulted from that scan.

I definitly recommend Linux... other brands are hideously expensive and make my family cringe their teeth whenever I use it. Linux is always my favorite wether you have a small or big batch jobs at hand since it always gives the most polished and immaculate results... only after I began using linux did I have such an easy time and started having time for what really matters.
OP, DONT DO THIS
