Hey /g. I'm very much in doubt about windows and it's marketing. Is it becoming unacceptable?

The only usable Windows 10 version is Enterprise LTSB. Anything else is a complete bloated shit.
>>54897165
Bite the bullet, spend the 6 months-1yr it takes to really get familiar with linux and leave that shit behind forever
>>54897282
Dualbooting is fucking garbage im tired of people recommending it. Use virtualbox so you wont be torn between two operating systems just make sure you arent using virtualbox with linux as the host as its reliant on graphics drivers which linux is just absolutely fucked up in regards to
>inb4 the foss drivers which cant even maintain an fps in a game from 1999 let alone newer games
>the same driver with vsync on by fucking default (WHAT THE FUCK) and the only way to deal with that is through the xorg config something a new user would not be able to figure out
And fucking wine, enjoy passive aggressive forums users saying everything works for them when it doesnt for you
Gaming on linux is a pain in the fucking ass, at least "downgrade" to an earlier windows but dont bother with linux outside a virtualbox
>>54897445
im talking about amd foss drivers by the way. Proprietary isnt even a fucking option. And i dont mean It cant maintain an fps as in performance, it can clearly handle it. If you uncap it, the fps will go well above the previous cap but its not consistent. The fps will always fluxuate and its completely undocumented. all you can do is raise the fps to something ridiculous like 250 so you get about 140 fps consistently. This will overheat your shit like mad and every machine ive used linux on will freeze the fuck up making the machine completely unusable

Clean install 7 if you need gaymes. Then install linux alongside for all your other shit.
>>54897417
But even then, gaming on linux ain't a thing (yet?). I don't want to be restricted to fewer games and programs because of the OS. And both virtual desktop and dualbooting is too much work to even bother. I want it clean and simple, and I want it working.
Also biting a bullet is an incredibly bad idea. (your teeth will break before the bullet does)
>>54897921
I upgraded from a pirated win 8, can I downgrade to a 7 from it? or do I need to clean install 7?

I've been on Windows 7 since its inception and Windows 10 made me switch to Linux. I was concerned where Microsoft was heading as a company and I'm sure I made the right choice switching to Linux.

I know because my mom hates computers but do use them at work. And they're having these problems. I've heard it on the news. And I've tried it myself, though it kept bugging everytime and just spammed retry. I feel this is pretty much known already.
Quote from comment section on pc gamer* Seems pretty legit.
>All our Windows 7 computers in my lab were hit today, these computer drive scientific devices and have drivers that do not work on Win10. A few computers got corrupted by the install and are bricked. This will cost us thousands to deal with.
This might be the largest cybercrime in history.
Microsoft's upgrade process is sloppy and unreliable, this was irresponsible and I look forward to a class action suit on behalf of today's victims.
>Using fear to promote win10.
They keep bugging you with the FREE LIMITED upgrade all the time. Telling you it's ending soon. And when I say bug you, it's everytime you start your pc, it's always in the tray.

I don't store personal info on my computer, especially not nude pics of myself

>>54898502
I'm not okay with someone else downloading my nudes, I wish I were a nudist such as yourself
>>54898515
Prove to me that microsoft has enough serverspace for all the images on all the windows 10 computers
Then prove to me that they download and analyze the images
>>54898023
Identical terms of service to Google's mail and cloud stuff, but when Microsoft does it it's bad.
Anything you put in the cloud is scanned for illegal activity. It's US law or something.
>>54898515
Honestly why would you care if someone's seen you nude? It's not like you're anything special.
>>54898526
Microsoft has partnered with many companies and is an active member of PRISM. They have AIs to analyse systems (like google's content aware system). Any nudes will be flagged instantly.
There has been occasions where MS sued people who downloaded torrents before
>>54898577
Because I have standard decency and self respect.
>>54898604
If you really respect yourself you wouldn't mind if someone saw your wiener dude.

I am sure that had a statement on it
>>54899026
In the response you mention, you make the assumption that I will never breed.

Yeah exactly. Microsoft is gonna do what they're gonna do, and most people don't care too much unless they're doing something important, and if someone doesn't like it, they should use something else. Your average consumer doesn't care too much if at all what microsoft is doing, unless it interferes with their workflow, like at my mom's office, the lawfirm she works at is sticking to 7 because some programs they use only work on 7, and one of the bosses had to upgrade from 10 to 7 to use those programs. But instead of using 10, they rollback to 7 because it's required for their jobs.

Nevertheless you can either continue using the os although it is not advisable, decide to upgrade and fork over more money to microsoft, pirate it which is retarded, or simply use a linux operating system which is almost guaranteed to have indefinite support

They don't need to read it. They just use a program to sort you into convenient categories. You're given different ratings, based on how likely you buy a particular product, how likely you'd vote for one president or another, or how many times you use the word "bomb" in your emails, and to who.

Free my ass. I pirated 7 and said fuck it why not to the win10 upgrade and now it says my Windows in not genuine or activated or some such.
If it was free they wouldn't be attemping to make me pay 100 bucks for overpriced horseshit
Btw how the fuck do I activate pirated win10 anyway? That watermark is fuckin annoying. And don't say pay for it. Fuck microdick
>>54901704
It's the other way. There has to be a demand (Linux gamers) for them to be ported. There are a lot of Linux games more than ever now so there is more penguinfags compared to the past, but there has to be willing Windows users to fight and stick with it to have more AAA games ported to Linux.
>>54901094
you would need to have access to the microsoft volume licencing portal. know anyone who works in an it department or for an msp?
Just paid for and installed Windows 10 pro on my gaming rig (yeah, I'm finally starting to pay for my shit, no judgement). Lets see, out of the box:
* dualshock controller bluetooth paired and worked holy shit no more shitty 3rd party workarounds like on 7
* actual up to date drivers and userland support apps for my devices preinstalled (a small win, but yay)
* can actually install visual studio now because i'm not using some shitty pirated copy that prevents certain updates from installing that are needed (I guess not really a 10 thing)
Then again, fuck this tile bullshit and privacy setting antipatterns. But how do you fuckers care so much? Its pretty straightforward and obvious how to clear the "hey send my keystrokes and microphone data to microsoft" setting.

That's the thing about taking stuff out of a EULA out of context.
