so who's waiting for windows 11 to meet their personal and vidya requirements?
following the formula, after the terrible blunders that 8 and 10 were, 11 should be the next actually good one.
7 works fine, no reason to upgrade.
>>322479764
10 works pretty well on my new rig. What games was he struggling to run?
I haven't had one problem with Windows 10 since I installed it. I've got an MSI gtx 970, too. I think your friend might be retarded.
10 runs fine for me. Older games work too.
>>322480158
the faggot works in tech support and all he had to do was restart the comp to re-enable it.
moral of the story is: laugh at your friends until they downgrade to a better OS.
unless they wanna get cucked by the cyberpolice that is.
The only issue I had with 10 was related to an SSD, and had an easy fix.
What game were you even trying to run? Something from early 00s with compatibility issues?
>>322479874
This, why would you abandon W7-tan?
>>322480346
It sounds like the moral of the story is actually that you want to blame an operating system for your friend being a retard
>>322479764
I have windows 10 too and all my games work fine, but I only have a geforce gtx 670.
>mfw i'm very seriously considering switching to OSX for main desktop use since i'm just done with microsoft/windows and desktop linux is still an absolute joke
these are wild times, my friends
>>322480972
"windows 10! not even retards can figure it out!"
>>322479764
On the performance side, Windows 10 is objectively the best you can get. Too bad on the design and the spying thing
>>322479764
ahaha you guys are retards if you can't figure this stuff out. stick with consoles kid

>>322481114
EIther you're /v/ and need Windows for vidya or you're /g/ and need Linux for nerd shit
Mac OS is useless
>>322481185
Retards can't figure out a lot of things. I don't think you thought that post out, anon.
>>322481636
my university uses the mac OS for design projects at the communications campus.
so if you're a hipster faggot like me who does a lot of stupid art shit, you MIGHT find some use for the mac OS.
even then you're only getting benefits in a network where sharing files speeds up productivity.
>>322481242
> Too bad on the design and the spying thing
I sometimes wonder if American's internet is censored the same way Chinese people can't look up the Tiananmen Square protests.
Wikileak revealed that Windows have been spying for the US goverment for several years, wouldn't be surprised if they've been spying on people since Windows 95.
>>322479764
>so who's waiting for windows 11 to meet their personal and vidya requirements?
How do you fancy waiting for all eternity considering Microsoft stated they're planning to make this the ultimate version of Windows and finally adopt the normal scheme of simply patching it every once in a while.
>>322482364
i guess i'll just stick with 7 until linux gets better.
or when hell freezes over. whichever comes first.
>>322479764
>4 gb
>>322482546
>Linux gets better
>25 years after its creation it's still shit
Who knows, maybe an other 25 years will make it not shit.
I have 10 on my Laptop, and every time it fucking updates, my CentOS partition that I use with VirtualDrive ALWAYS get's fucked up and I have to fucking reinstall.
Every
Fucking
Time
Not to mention W10 is a clusterfuck of ads and incompatibility.
Why is it so hard for Microsoft to do anything right? When will we get a CEO who isn't fucking retarded?
There is literally nothing wrong with Windows 10.
Nice shitpost, OP.
>>322479764
Wait so you're saying Win10 is what was making his pc slow? Cause that's not how an OS works, even one as shitty as Windows 10
>>322481884
Are Macs actually the best for art/video stuff or is it just the least bad thing about them?
>>322479764
You're a faggot, I pirated windows 10 for my friends new build and it works great.
>>322479764
I've had no issues with windows 8.1 and my 970, OR my 7970. Hell, 8.1 feels mostly like a smoother windows 7 outside of metro.
Meanwhile my best friend has had driver issues out the ass with his 770 on windows 10, to the point where he decided to go AMD for his next purchase.
>>322483548
this
>>322483178
Adobe's programs used to work better on Macs, but that isn't the case anymore
>>322481636
you could say the same thing about any desktop OS. if you aren't gaming, what does windows do that osx doesn't? and why does one need to use the OS they use for gaming as their primary desktop OS? (they don't)
>>322482782
>Why is it so hard for Microsoft to do anything right?
because they're never been interested in design. microsoft has always been a company interested in selling business software rather than designing good products
>>322479764
Windows 10 is fine for gaming, you autistic retard.
If your friend is dumb enough to keep your company, he was probably dumb enough to only buy 2GB of RAM or something.
Fuck you
>>322485493
Upgradeable parts
Legacy compatibility
>he's got a lot to invest
>970
>4gb graphics card
>>322487031
He bought a gimped meme card months before the new cards come out so he's clearly not the brightest around.
I'm literally never going beyond 7
I'm sure 7 is already filled with bullshit spyware NSA shit, but I know for a fact Window 10 is 10x more filled with that bullshit
Plus I like and am used to window 7 and windows 10 is ugly as fuck. i will never accept their weird fucking tile menus. I don't care if I can turn them off.
>>322488123
They added telemetry to 7/8 through updates.
>>322487613
>Upgradeable parts
not really relevant since you can run OSX on custom built machine these days, but also less so now that it usually makes more sense to replace everything in a system anyway in place of upgrading unless you have specific interests like gaming
>Legacy compatibility
something windows hasn't really maintained for a long time. osx and windows are probably comparable in that department at this point. anybody interested in running old enough things will be doing it virtually anyway
>>322479764
8.1 works just fine nowadays
use that
>>322488231
which are fortunately uninstallable
>>322479764
Windows 10 at moment only take your ata for them to sell, fi you use a custom firewall you can see like every 5 minutes lots of communication of windows with the internet.
>>322488231
I figured they probably did something like that
at least i don't have ads built into the fucking OS
>>322488402
>being this paranoid
if you're doing nothing wrong, what's the issue?
or are you a kiddiefucker?
>>322488479
lmao plz be b8
>>322482782
thats the worst part about 10 in my opinion. ads and fucking apps out the ass. And worse is the fact that you have to individually uninstall them. Who the fuck wants an OS with 50 random useless apps? I get that some people would like some of them but you can't just put a bunch and hope everyone uses them. Shit is pants on head retarded.
>>322488369
it really isn't. the ui changes from 7 to 8 (including the "improvements" made in 8.1) are intolerable
>>322488291
>not really relevant since you can run OSX on custom built machine these days
You can, but it has to be compatible hardware and updates usually break something which also ties into the issues with legacy hardware.
>>322488607
I don't have autism so I don't really mind

they're banking on the fact enough people will feel they don't have any choice

[citation needed]
>>322488693
or i can stick with an os i already like that still works perfectly that doesn't look like it was designed by a moron
>>322480346
I think both of you are retarded friendo

nobody uses that
>>322481185
>stupid people dont know how to do things
wow
>>322488808
when was the last time you honestly replaced a cpu in your desktop without getting a new motherboard and ram to go with it?
>>322488939
>muh data
if it really bothers you in this day and age just destroy your computer and live in a cave off of mushrooms and moss
>>322489018
That's not "everything in a system".
>>322488607
I was helping my mom with a new laptop she got and there's third party applications that make it operate mostly like 7 or XP. I'm sure if I had more time with it I could improve it even further. I'll be okay with switching to it once 7 stops being supported.
>>322488952
you're still using it whether you use the desktop mode or not. aero will never not be a better looking desktop
Guys what if every future version of windows just gets worse and eventually you're forced to "upgrade" from 7 because games no longer support 7? What do we do then, install Linux? Hopefully by then Linux will have a lot more games
>>322489018
Yeah because no one ever adds a hard drive or more RAM to a system.
>>322489116
well what else is there? the hard drive? the gpu? i replace both of those basically as often as i replace the motherboard/processor/ram
>>322489190
I don't think /v/'s autism could handle that

>>322489678
RAM is soldered in
SSD is proprietary
>>322479764
Works on my machine.
Windows 10 is fucking shit
don't listen to the shills and people who got suckered into buying this shit
>>322489794
>RAM is soldered in
ram is still user serviceable in imacs (we were afterall talking about desktops here)
>SSD is proprietary
external drives doe
>>322489959
>nvm fixed it :^)
10 has worked great for me.
>>322479764
I realized Windows 10 must be absolutely garbage after an old guy came into my work and randomly asks me if I have it, and since I dont I should never upgrade to it he hates it.
This is an old dude like in his 50s I'm surprised he knows how to use a computer yet he knows enough to hate Windows 10.
>They call the next version of Windows 8, Windows 10
>When its actually Windows
What a bunch of bakas. They tried so hard to avoid it but it was inescapable. Touhou runs fine on it though, right?
>>322490184
iMac is laptop parts without a battery. We are talking about Mac Pro.

What a shitty ass O.S
enjoy your no dx12 support i guess
>>322490632
Yeah, in the next year as how things are going. Even Vista had dx11 games fast, which probably means dx12 is horseshit or barely makes any difference
>>322490184
>external drives doe
So the iMac is as "upgradeable" as an Xbone, okay.
>>322479764
Is your friend actually you?
>>322490601
if we're suddenly talking about laptops for some reason, real talk: who the fuck even bothers upgrading laptops.
>>322479764
Yeah okay. Meanwhile I use windows 10 without issues on 4 machines in my house. It runs great.

Thats weird. My9 (nine)turned invisible.

same with SSDs
>>322479764
you still haven't said what game was giving so much trouble
>>322490932
idk laptops have rarely benefited from ram upgrades in my experience. it's usually seemed to be the case that the processor is too outdated by the time that may be of some use
>>322490861
>4 machines
what even for
I already downloaded a Windows 10 ISO, So there's no way I'm "upgrading" anytime soon...
