After a month of GNU/Linux only (25 years of dual-booting GNU/Linux and Windows), Windows feels... bloated. So much bloated. Will keep it for muh gaymen but, why does it feel so bloated? Is it just me or did it get worse by time?
Part of the problem as time went on MS made it more difficult to customize and less modular. Meaning you could for example remove certain aspects of the OS and keep it lean for example gaymin. Win98SE you could by default uninstall many components and use third party tools to do even more. Same thing was possible up to XP64 for the most part. You can/could do something similar in Vista and Win7 but it's not the same and prone to falling apart. Android suffers from similar problems now 5.0 to 7.0.

well, it comes preinstalled with Candy Crush, so there is that.

It sounds silly, but Windows gives me the sensation of being more bloated because the taskbar is literally thicker than my MATE panel.
Who else /umpc/ here?
I picked up a Samsung Q1 Ultra for about 70 bucks, I'm planning on upgrading the ram to 2gb, sticking an old SSD in there, and seeing if I can't manage to find a decent linux distro for it.
What UMPC plans do you lads have?

Who's that fat hobo? I keep seeing him posted all over /g/
>>56372954
some fat fucking loser who dropped out of grad school because he couldn't cut it, then later earnestly took like a dozen honorary doctorates and demanded that people treat him like a real one.
>>56372954
He's some weirdo people started taking pictures after they saw him using some used chinkpad he found in the trash bin.
All he does is wander around and write about anime and manga which made him some kid of god of then neckbeards.
I just report those threads 2bh I don't have time for 50+ year old homeless weebs.

found two of these in a drawer where I'm staying, how lucky am I ?
mint condition and both working at 1000hz on win 8.1
They were nice to have 10 years ago as spare mice but they're just too low DPI for anything above fucking 1280x1024... Using it on 1080p the cursor just skips pixels constantly. /g/ shilling those mice in 2016 is the most autistic shit ever, I tried to play CS:S with them in like 2008 and it was horrible.
>>56372851
are you kidding me ? mlt04 sensor is one of the best and @1000hz what can you complain about?
DPI? I ran my old mouse at 400 anyway
>>56372851
This.
Get one of the new Zowies if you like the shape, but the sensor on those is too old.

I SAID GNU PLUS LINUX YOU FILTHY PROPRIETARY FAG!
Encryption against law enforcement is a bad thing. It's all fine and dandy to encrypt your device against unauthorized use. But if the government gets a warrant the manufacturer and/or owner should be required to give them access to the smartphone and all of the information on it. This is essential to our safety.
Since 9/11, we've waved goodbye to much of the privacy we had before. This is a perfectly natural reaction to the worst terrorist attack on US soil. Since then, no major terrorist attack happened on the scale of 9/11 and that could be attributed, partially, to the government having more control of our information.
Do you support the FBI or the terrorists?
@56372701
bait
>>56372701
Fuck the government
What about police using encryption so we can't monitor them?
