I upgraded to windows 10 shortly after launch, and though I expected botnet surveillance, I didn't expect them to fucking rape my computer with forced updates and pther bullshit. I'm thinking of downgrading. So, /g/, ups and downs of downgrading? I know directx 12 is supposed to be exclusive. Any pointers towards ways to tame windows 10 to avoid losing directx updates?
>downgrade
Don't you mean you want to upgrade to a linux distro? Baka senpai!

Upgrade to Windows 7.
>>53450031
>muh dx12
Placebo shit
And windows10/store-only games sucks
Install 7 or Linux and wait for V U L K A N
>>53450154
I'd love to, but it's gonna be a while until llinux is compatible with a lot of the vidya I enjoy
>>53450182
so dx12 isn't important, then?
>>53450185
Dual boot then
>>53450229
yeah, maybe. is mint any good?
>>53450208
It will take a while before it goes mainstream.

Mint has some outdated packages and it's the to go option for older hardware, in your case go with either fedora, debian, arch visit /g/ wiki for recommended software - pick w/e pleases you. Just go with low resources using ones - unless you are working with the functions they offer.
Avoid Ubuntu - it's botnet.

ebic menes :DDD

I don't find your reply funny, why lie when that's the reality.
>>53450266
Linux Mint should be a good place to start for people coming from Windows environment.
>>53451972
if you're going to use Linux for everything start with ARCH it's very good distribution and you have to manually install and configure everything - this way you'll learn all the shit - do this because as you said you want to switch to linux for everything else.
If you want to take it slooow go with MINT Cinnamon, if you're 100% faggot and want to wank and do literally nothing and care about aesthetics go with elementary OS
>>53450031
you downgraded from everything when you installed windows 10.
even pic related isn't as bad.
>>53452119
appreciate the advice, dude. Heard arch was intense, but ig the only way forward is to deal with intense things so maybe that's the best option. I do love my videogames, at least some of them, but desu I should probably play less anyway, so maybe I could try and just run a separate partition for win7 and try and keep it light. Storage space is hardly an issue
