>had a laptop with 10
>bought a new one with 7
the bugs are what's really going to piss you off about 10. yeah the whole gui is turned on its head for no fucking reason, the search feature sucks, and you're REALLY joining the botnet but it's when the start menu doesn't come up and the problem persists on restart that makes you want to throw your laptop out of the literal and proverbial window.

That's because you have superior taste. Only the low class like tits and ass. It's a sign you are able to contain your sexual impulses that would kill a lesser man. As a result, you only wish to breed with the genetically superior.

Should I install Ubuntu on my laptop?

I bought a desktop computer so I don't really game on my laptop anymore.

I do Photoshop, create word documents, use excel, powerpoint, watch movies, etc.

Also how will Ubuntu impact battery life? Will I be seeing huge decreases?
>>
>>53833642

>>53835629
using microsoft office documents can be troublesome with ubuntu from my experience. maybe someone here can prove me wrong. i felt like battery life was reduced but i didn't run tests and haven't viewed benchmarks, that info is probably easy to find.

in general i really like ubuntu and if you're curious and have an open machine you have nothing to lose. you're going to have to do a lot of googling at first to figure out how to do... anything. but once you get familiar with some terminal commands and see how easy googling the one you need is i will bet you will think it is a superior way of doing things.
>>
>>53835864
There are battery managers that you can install that help with battery life. Apparently, they can sometimes make them better than with Windows, but I'm not sure how true that is, since I haven't bothered trying them because I just leave mine plugged in all the time due to the battery being dead.

Bullshit.

Yes, you will have to do it eventually. Get it over with.

>is it really that bad?
Yes, it is really that bad and possibly even worse because we don't truly know how much spying is going on behind the scenes.

>>53833642
if you want it for "free" yeah or if you need something specific like driver compatibility or "muh dx12"
otherwise stick with 7 until 2020
>>
Try it. IMO is way better than w7, ( but even w8.1 was better)
You have 30days to roll back.
>>
I used it for weeks, then for whatever reason that big update happened that uninstalled speccy and other programs, from then on any time I wanted to run any program I had to manually select as admin, from any user account.

It would also frequently break my solidworks installs, various versions and compatability modes were tried with removing and adding security packages reported to help the issue, but reverting back to 7 was just easier
>>
>>53835629
Yes.
Installed Debian on my laptop from windows 7 and never looked back.
Sound doesn't work anymore but fuck it
>>
>>53836031
It ain't no bullshit since a lot of people are getting upgraded without their concent. They just boot the machine up one day and they are in Win10.

As for if it's bad. It depends if you are cool with sharing usage statistics and shit with Microsoft or not. Personally I'm not aware any benefits of 10 over 7 or 8.1. It's not bad, but it's not good either. It's just Windows that sends some (supposedly anonymized) data to Microsoft, but it is the future considering Microsoft has been saying that new hardware might not be competitable with older Windows versions.
>>
>>53837100
Are you hoping that in 4 years time Linux will be able to play most of the games and run Adobe's shit or that during the 4 years Microsoft will losen it's grip and maybe theres a new Windows around? I mean if you don't think these things are going to happen then you might as well just upgrade now if you are feeling the itch or are bored, so you don't have to worry about it in the future.

aside from movies, none of those work properly.

There's a ton of compatibility issues beteween MS office / Open office, especially once you get to more advanced features like citations, cross-references etc. Tbh I would just dual boot.

My laptop has a windows 7 / Mint dual boot and I love it. I don't play video games but I have a lot of specialty software for work that only runs on windows

>>53839275
I'm getting these popups on windows 7 now. Will it auto-install one day? any way to disable it?

Once you've spent hours getting rid of all the spyware, adware, gimmicky nonsense (cortana) and tablet/phone bullshit it's basically exactly the same as 7.

My only use for Windows is on a dedicated gaming machine.

I already have it behind a firewall / NAT, and the machine has no webcam or microphone or anything else. I do nothing interesting on it, not even game purchases (I buy them elsewhere and transfer).

Is there any reason *not* to move to Windows 10 on this machine? For DirectX 12 and nothing else, basically.
