Why are you not using *BSD yet anon?
Tux is cooler desu
Because of the awful fucking logos/mascots
But I am. I'm even posting from it.
Have any of you guys ever tried using a trackball before? Thinking of switching to one because they have numerous advantages.
Idk they seem rly cool though
Had a trackball mouse years ago. They're not that great.
>>57714700
I have this marble mouse and is very comfy on linux. But windows drivers are shit and you can't normally emulate scroll wheel. And you can play games if you want.

+ Works on any PC with 4GB or more (literally any PC after 2008)
+nice design
+Affordable for a Windows OS
-Requirements were too high when it came out
-Didn't work properly until SP 2
-User Management Center is an overprotective faggot
systems that are underrated are rated that way for a reason

>>57714613
Sage isn't a downvote.
Win 7.
Pros: not Win8/10
Cons: Minor performance difference
That is coming from having to use all three on a daily basis.
Have you watched your daily dose of TAD today, anon?
Yeah. It's pretty fun except that 12 year old CIA fukken niggers call him and say some bullshit.
Watching Terry is a new part of my daily routine.
TAD is life
I would love to stay subscribed to him but the dude shits up my subbox

Why not Solus?
Is it just missing software you need, or did you just decide to never try it out?
Wut about solus dude
I still can't find a linux distro that gives me the option to make an encrypted installation across two drives and decrypt them with a single password so I'm staying with Windows 7 for now.
When did Windows go to shit? The last version I used before goin to Loonix for good was XP which was pretty comfy and stable.
Just installed a copy of Windows 8.1 for a tech illiterate friend. Holy shit!

Wtf is this abomination?

What did you expect?
What's your GNU/Linux setup?
windows 2k was the only good windows
> installing updates takes hours
A one time install of years of backlogged updates takes a while? Wow.
> 27 gigabyte Windows folder
Was your friend using a HDD from the early 2000s where this would be an issue?
> metro UI looks like a fucking tablet OS
Then replace it.
> no start menu on desktop
Then install one.
> spyware and telemetry everywhere
Then block it.

I have a plus one android (POS) and now all the sudden I can't dl the (my own) photos out of the camera on to my own computer, even though they are connected. They won't even show or anything.
The phone is full and starts to run slowly. Previously this was no problem at all and I just dl them to my computer, but the brilliant geniuses who keep "updating" my phone have done away with that.

Congrats, you saved money on aged technology.
>>57699287
I got nothing because my new job pays every two weeks and I started mid pay period so I have to wait 3 weeks for my first check.
But im planning on replacing my 750k/fm2 board/7870MYST with an 8320e+970 AM3+ board and a 470 8gb
>>57699471
So I did good, then?
>>57699480
I know that feel, bro.
Why not wait, though? I'm all for AMD, but FX is really not worth buying anymore, Zen is right around the corner, too, meaning big price drops, if that's what you want. Probably even deeper cuts than BF sales
I personally rock the Lumia 1020 Windows. Love the fuck out of the camera; makes creepin real easy. But fuck Microsoft for pulling the plug.
