Windows is now open source.
What changes do you make to your Windows based distro?
install gentoo
Nothing. Windows is without flaw.
>>56264077
This
Or a less autistic distro. Actually, probably definitely install a less autistic distro.
Gentoo is still preferable to Windows.
>>56264066
See what Windows is hiding under that skirt.
>>56264127
a penis
>trying to find all the backdoors buried in Windows' spaghetti code
yeah no thanks... the hackers will be far more motivated to do this than securityfags
More consistent UI and remove telemetry all together for starters.
>>56264096
>Nothing. Windows is without flaw.
this tbqfwyfam. idea of open sourced audited windows 10 is dream material.
Install a package manager
>>56264066
Remove bloat
Make it look like win2k again
Make a less shit version of Wine with it.
>>56264199
it already has one
>>56264230
>Apps
>>56264230
You mean the "App store"?
>>56264262
no it actually has a legit package manager.
it's called >oneget
>>56264230
>>56264262
there is literaly nothing wrong with term "apps"
>>56264278
coupled with app store it lets you view, remove and update installed apps. Am I missing anything that's supposed to be in a package manager?
>>56264315
consider yourself replied I missed you
>>56264323
>it lets you view, remove and update installed apps
Yes, the cancerous "metro" "Apps"
>>56264149
Indeed, the perfect gentooman's OS
>>56264342
ah yes le olde metro apps are shite maymay. They are battery friendly, touchscreen friendly, snappy and lack nothing. what else do you need.
>>56264323
>Am I missing anything that's supposed to be in a package manager?
except an understanding of what a package manager is, nope
>>56264066
Remove all ability to play games. I want my OS to be productive.
>>56264066
Remove telemetry and ads completely, distinguish kernel and userland so people can actually seamlessly change DEs, use bash as shell, build a real package manager with an optional GUI front-end to Windows store, include linux binary and Zfs/ext4/btrfs compatibility, have live ISOs and make a minimal server brunch
>>56264469
>make a minimal server brunch
This, a lite brunch is the perfect way to start a productive day.
>>56264066
>Change the default theme a bit
>Bring back the older UAC prompt
>By default the system drive is encrypted
>Add a better Picture/Music/Video Viewer
>Incorporate 7-Zip naively.
>Some sort of ad-blocking system-wide(not HOST file or wirewall).
>Replace the POS windows search(Cortana now) with "Everything Search Engine"
>Add tab to Explorer(like clover but more integrated)
>Git , PuTTY , and some micro torrent client integrated into PowerShell/CMD
>Complete control of updates.
Thats the 'basic' build :^)
>>56264396
They don't support accessibility tools
>tfw microsoft still uses razzle.cmd to build windows
>tfw it's a fucking miracle that there aren't more bugs
>>56264396
>touchscreen friendly
>windows
>based in any way
nigger I came to /g/ to find a thread specifically devoted to windows so I could tell you a little
about the location icon in the system tray. Needless to say it disappeared upon hovering the
mouse pointer over it. Location "is" turned off, of course.
>>56264589
>Some sort of ad-blocking system-wide
I think Disconnect has something like this
>>56264618
I get the other two but what does a spinning arrow toy for kids have to do with a guitar?
>>56264066
None, the code is pretty much unmaintainable.
>>56264066
uninstall and look for an OS my vidya will run on
>>56264066
steal win32 shit and port it to wine
>>56264593
I don't believe you.
>>56264618
umm.. what?
>>56264772
better?
>try to remove the botnet
>realize that's what's holding all the spaghetti together
>>56264883
Way better
>>56264916
The same could be said for Android
>>56264792
>>56264930
I take that back, the entire OS itself is a botnet
>>56264792
>>56264959
>believing into any of this
