I'm thinking about switching to Windows 10 for muh gayman. Are there ways to circumvent most of the shit that's wrong with it, or is the entire OS completely borked with no way around it?

No. Unless you plan on using it primarily offline. Spyware is built in. The best you can do is make an external firewall to block every single Microsoft domain, and install Spybot anti-beacon. Windows will still try to phone home though. Why not just use 7 or 8.1? They perform much better in gaming, other than on dx12 games which are exclusive to W10.

I wonder if you block everything by default and only whitelist sites that you access, would W10-tan go crazy?

It would behave the same as it does offline. But there are probably many backdoors in every piece of technology so you're never 100% safe from a targeted attack.

Yes, I'm fucking done with W10. A couple of days ago it automatically restarted during the night because I set my active hours for daytime and let something download over night. So instead of finishing the download and shutting off it just restarted and stayed on until I woke up. Then I got LTSB which everyone said was good. It isn't. It's the same fucking thing. Fuck this fucking OS

>>56358363
That's what I did retard, it just got stuck and then I let the update download and it's stuck at 5% while the CPU is still being used at 50%

My brand new laptop arrived today. I knew it was coming with pre-installed windows 10, but me being me and having windows 7 usb around me all the time thought I could just install win7 and not needing to worry about win10 at all. However, this is probably just me but, whenever I get in the first step of installing windows 7 my mouse stops working. Anyone know what I should do? Also I'm gonna steal all of your reaction pics because I got nothing on this machine.
>>
>>56354015
check for mobo drivers. Dont use it without ssd. Be prepared for Beta quality. Gets infected as fast as win7.
>>
>>56358589
>Dont use it without ssd.
Why?
>>
>>56358577
You bought a Memelake laptop so you need to use a tool or add the USB 3.1 drivers / XHCI yourself (slipstream). You can also check your bios for a Win7 install option and passthrough. Asus/MSI just about any manufacturer has a tool for this as well.

Pajeets can install it

Funny how /g/ liked Windows 10 when it came out.

life is too short to not use windows 10

Yep because its popular and widely used so its shit, g is like that with everything

Hates nvidia loved amd
Hates apple stuff loves shit tier android phones
Hates smartphones loves dumbphones

g is the most technologically retarded board, you can get better advices on b in tech stuff

Memelake users run into issues installing whatever OS they like. Win7 particularly needs the third party USB 3.1 drivers. Usually intel and whatever other controller asmedia etc. Problem there is you might have two USB 2.0 ports so you would have to use the keyboard to install it while populating the mouse USB2 with a thumbdrive at least initially unless you install the USB 3.1 drivers during setup. XHCI handoff is just another setting in the bios similar to how AHCI/IDE used to be.

Linux has a plethora of issues with Memelake still.
>>
>>56359067
Right

>>56359087
>Windows has issues

just kill me

isn't there just a good OS that gets frequent updates and bug fixes

>>56359087
Interesting. I thought the skylake thing was just an Intel thing and only related to CPU's. I bought an ASUS K501UW. The 8gb ram, i5-6200U and Nvidia 960m.

Real talk, why does every Windows thread get shitposted to death with "privacy enthusiasts" but multiple smartphone threads are allowed to exist? Owning a smartphone is infinitely worse for your liberties than running Windows.

Just shitposters.

Because lincuck users think they are special because they use an unpopular and barely used desktop os, they know nothing about "privacy" only some shit memes

>>56359153
Richard Stallman literally says "DO NOT USE CELL PHONES." Do Linux users just ignore that?

When i was new to g i fell for the privacy invading win7 updates memes and nearly fell to the zenfone meme, but since then i learned to never listen to g in any tech related stuff because its always a shitty meme based advice

I just installed Win7 on a Skylake system the other day. Runs fine. User wanted off the Win10 train due to some bad experiences. The CPU thing about Skylake I believe is closed source or possible backdoors on the hardware itself. It's also supposed to refuse to run on Win7 or at least partially which will be put in place fully with Kaby Lake (no Win7 at all). AMD Bristol Ridge is doing the same thing too.
>>
>>56359508
Did you use the method linked earlier?
>>
>>56359577
MSI has a Win7 tool you can use with your Win7 source. All I did was check off the Windows 7 installation in the bios and XHCI handoff. I didn't require USB 3.1 though as the motherboard has two USB 2.0 slots for keyboard and mouse. I just kept the Mouse unplugged started the install until completed. I normally use keyboard on installation anyways.
>>
>>56359508
>no win7 at all
Truly this is the end of times.
>>
>>56359636
The laptop I got has two 2.0 USB ports tho.
>>
>>56359681
You said laptop so you don't require a mouse anyways. Plug in a thumbdrive and install Windows 7 it's same as always. I'd check your bios first though to see if it has a Windows 7 setting and the XHCI handoff setting. Imagine you would be fine if you wanted to use Windows 7 on your Skylake lappy.
>>
>>56358991

It's amazing how ignorant someone can be on a topic and still profess hatred of it.
>>
>>56359716
That's the problem, no mouse works when trying to install win7. Yes we include the lappys own one.
>>
>>56359720
Im not ignorant and my post is 100% right
>>
>>56359666
I think it might get that way in a couple years perhaps. 2018ish at earliest. Pretty sure people will be fine on anything Intel 2nd Gen to Broadwell/Skylake until 2020 even. Who knows what will happen. I use passthrough in Linux so Win7 or Win10 doesn't much matter to me personally.
>>
>>56359782
at least the grammar wasn't 100% right
>>
>>56359753
Mouse issues are the main complaint. I didn't have a problem with USB 2.0 ports on Skylake with Mice. You can try using one of the various tools that will slipstream the USB drivers. That may alleviate your problems.
>>
>>56354015
Enterprise LTSB
>>
>>56359820
Mmmh, alright. I will look into this once I feel better. Are the asus drivers all the same btw? I can only find one page about drivers for asus laptops.

>>56354015
>switching to Windows 10 for muh gayman
Why? There really isn't some new viable gaming specs that Windows 10 posses that are worth its installation.
>is the entire OS completely borked with no way around it?
Duh. The low share and general public's disapproval of the OS despite the "free" upgrades should've been an obvious sign.
>>
>>56359916
Asus might have a tool similar to MSI. They're generally good about those utilities. It will likely be listed under utilities on Windows 7 x64. Asus like MSI and others generally lists whatever drivers you might require for your specific version of Windows sometimes Linux.
>>
>>56356913

I want to know specifically about the operating system, not about the games I can play on it.

>Why? There really isn't some new viable gaming specs that Windows 10 posses that are worth its installation.
It's just that I want to play some of the upcoming W10 exclusive games, so I figure that while I'm already doing a fresh OS install I might consider changing to W10.

Disable everything in privacy and during install, download and use Windows ultimate tweaker, usd start is back foe big icon on taskbar
