I finally saw the truth. ok, i may be exaggerating, but i'd rather spend a couple mins fixing some broken DE than having to wait 2 hrs for a fucking update to install.

also, to all of you linfags, is xubuntu a good starting distro?

>>56425335
Any of the ubuntus are great for starters.

Linux Mint is pretty good too.

Heck, even Fedora.

mint is garbage

why do people still recommend this? its basically ubuntu with a crippled update system and an annoying botnet firefox build and has a search 'enhancement' plugin thats a bitch to remove

It has been pretty stable for me, can't vouch for the long term stability because i migrated from Windows like three weeks ago and nowadays i only play csgo which runs fine on Linux.

>wouldn't like to lose my stuff due to it being rolling release
Backups of data should be a standard practice regardless of the OS imo but still I'd rather have a rolling release system than reinstalling my OS each time a new version appears.

You CANNOT disable it. If you do it in GPolicy it doesn't work and keeps updating as if you didn't change anything, if you do it in Services, it checks for updates and uses CPU but cannot download them. I don't fucking know how, but this happened to me and I went back to W7

7 is the best, but 8.1 is good too if you install classic shell. I just grabbed all of them when I still had dreamspark access.

>>56425192
same happened to me. also my laptop would just randomly turn on in the middle of the night to start the update. even crazier thing is that most of those updates would break my windows as it would be stuck at login screen without the option to login, so i had to restore and block that update.
one day i just snapped, installed linux, moved my files and removed that shit
fuck windows. never again, not even in virtual maxchine am i gonna use it

>>56426338
Windows 10 is the pajeet filter. If you like Windows 10, even if you don't prefer to use another OS, you are a certified street shitter.

>>56426384
7 is definitely my top favorite, but I'm interested in 8.1 mainly because of wanting to try something new, and maybe some minimal performance boost if there is any. It also looks more stylish, but that's just a comfyness factor.
A fresh install would also do good.

keked

Windows is p. good 7 is the most recent high point though.

If 10 is their last then fuck I mean I guess its time to brush up on my Linux or get a fagbook.

I installed it for bash on windows... which sucks. Git-bash for windows is far superior.

why don't you just use win7? Why are people always so keen on new versions?

>>56426438
it doesn't install certain updates by default, especially kernel patches. in addition it lists those updates in red and as a 5 (1-5 scale of risk to break your install) - making newer users afraid to update. completely retarded from a security perspective. especially if you do online banking or anything important.

major distros like ubuntu are largely past breaking installs. not that it doesnt happen here and there, but nothing like it used to be 5-10 years ago when nearly every update broke your OS.

>>56426559
.. and that's just for OS updates.

then there's firefox which is a linux mint branded build with a bundled search 'enhancement' botnet in it, which you can't remove. each update with put it back. even if you try removing firefox - apt-get will pull the same build from mint repositories right back in and install it again.

i could go on and on.. the whole distro is trash.

You won't do shit. You will complain, bitch and moan and maybe you'll even really install linux, see one small inconvenience and come up with an excuse to install windows again. Then you come back with some greentext about how bad linux is. Fuck that, just save everyone the drama and stay with your windows like a good bitch.

Get a Mac, or install Debian stable or Ubuntu MATE LTS if you're comfortable with UNIX tools. Microsoft doesn't care about consumer Windows versions anymore.

>>56426559
by default it doesn't install shit, you have to choose and install. if you do anything important then you are probably aware of the risks and you probably update your kernel, as for the noob users, it's perfectly fine as it is

>>56426615
if you don't know how to install other firefox version maybe linux is not for you. have you tried windows?

>>56426736
>by default it doesn't install shit
yes, it does. also it installs lower level updates by default but not important kernel patches. mint completely ignores them unless you specifically tell it to update them

In that case, good... good... let the freedoms flow through you.
Just know that this path will not give you more convenience. Just coping with MS bullshit would be far easier. Things will break, or be broken out of the box, require learning on your part, and even if it works things may still look and feel like crap. But you know why it's still woth doing it? Because it's the right thing. You will no longer be supporting that endless coil of bullshit and abuse that proprietary software is and always has been. Just be sure that you do it out of conviction and not convenience, otherwise you'll not last long. Your reward is that you may feel superior to those plebs who let themselves be abused and spied upon.

Mint is horse shit. Just use Ubuntu or go full Debian if you don't mind working with the command line. If you've never used GNU/Linux then Ubuntu is the way to go. On help pages the commands are clear and you can just copy and paste. Debian help pages usually assume you have a little experience and just tell you to do something. Examples:

Ubuntu help page:
>type "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" to edit your source list
Debian help page:
>edit /etc/apt/sources.list

As far as DEs go, Gnome, KDE, XFCE, or LXDE are all great. Unity is buttnet and stuff like Cinnamon is a meme. I use KDE because it's comfy and has KDE connect so I can control my PC with my phone. If you're looking for something lighter, look into Openbox.

Everyone knows that Anniversary Update adds the function to set working hours in which windows will not restart for updates no matter what happens.

>>56426876
You can downgrade, but if you're rocking a laptop, good fucking luck. You've gotta fuck about in the bios to disable secure boot and fast boot, then you have to enable legacy mode. Then, you install 7/8.1 annnnnd...none of your hardware works. There may or may not be drivers that work on older versions, and you'll need a flash drive to install them since your network card won't be working.

is hackintosh the happy medium for gamers?

You also need to remove all the spyware because they make it more and more difficult to remove them with each update. So you likely need to do it a different way.

Hi i'm from reddit and we hate win10

>>56425335
For me linux is much more stable than windows in all ways, but even if that not were the case i'm thousands of times more willing to forgive an honest mistake (bug) than something pushed on me on purpose.

Updates can be a good thing, but not always. The biggest problem with the Windows 10 updates is being unable to disable them. It's not just "oh, lets leave automatic updates for all normal people (old people, etc)." It's actually "We will have forced updates as default. Oh, you're a sysadmin who doesn't want them because you have a perfectly good system that you don't want broken? Too bad." I can't respect that.

Jesus, am I the only one who hasn't faced a single problem with win10?

let's not get carried away

mint > ubuntu

ubuntu is bloatware tablet trash and should just retire from linux . They had they're shot, they were #1 5 years ago but now they're a joke. Only college liberal hipsters with 2006 mac books use ubuntu

disable-updates.bat:
net stop wuauserv
sc config wuauserv start= disabled
schtasks.exe /Change /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" /Disable

And when you want to install updates at any time you want, enable-updates.bat:
sc config wuauserv start= auto
net start wuauserv

>>56426559
there's a checkbox in preferences to install everything lmao , how do you not figure that out

So you're pissed that windows updated your PC?

Why?

apex kek bro, use a fucking SSD or learn to disable the windows update service, it takes like two seconds and doesn't even need a command line

>>56444332
lol what? Ubuntu is one of the best distros available today. Mint is a meme.

Ubuntu is bloated if your definition of bloated includes Windows XP. On modern hardware, Ubuntu runs super smooth, and it's the best supported distro out there.

Friend of mine is now employed at miggrosoffd.
>nfw internally they all use linux servers

>>56425513
It is better than Windows at least. That being said, there are better distros than Mint.

>>56425335
Xubuntu's alright, but honestly I prefer Ubuntu because it looks prettier. I know this makes me a pleb, but I really can't stand how Xfce doesn't have Ubuntu's semi-transparent indicator bubbles

>>56425335
Yeah, XFCE actually follows standards and is the least retarded DE out there that's actually usable.

XFCE+ Debian is comfier to me but YMMV.

>>56444463
I'll rep this. Ubuntu isn't meant to be completely lightweight and includes everything most desktop users want.

Works well without extreme needs to know cli.

>>56430067
I know it sounds dumb to us, but I wished instructions were a bit more specific, like "sudo is being super user", "nano is a text editor" etc. Some things you learn the hard way.

>>56425192
Just turn your pc off and it will reset to pre-update.
Had to do it two times already, because it just starts downloading and applying the update.
Just takes waaaayyyyyy to long.

debian + win 7 masterrace

So you guys agree that Ubuntu is the best distro for someone that is just starting in Linux+GNU but wants a secure OS?

Only works for wifi though.

>>56425192
Time and time again I see these threats about people bitching about Windows 10 and then immediately jumping a bandwagon into the most timesink OS known as gnu/Linux. You're not setting yourself any headaches I going to an OS that runs literally nothing made for professional use. You've got your few odds and ends with AutoCAD and... oh wait that's it. Grow a pair of nuts and do a Hackintosh to see what are real Unix environment feels like. Don't buy the hardware, just get the software running. Osx + homebrew is all you need

>>56448462
Try a lil of everything man, free as in freedom. From nuskool pleb shit like Mint to Gentoo. Detaching from the dick was magical.

With Linux you have a choice. Do you break it or leave it as is.
With Windows 10 your only option is "thank you for breaking my computer again, Microsoft."

>>56447579
Not him but, I used to have Mint on older notebook because it supported naturaly dual boot with windows 7.

I pass my older hardware to father who needs the windows and I usually have no idea what I am doing half of the time in Linux as I am freaking Newbie.

Now I have New Lenovo ideapad with windows 10 and thinking about making it dualboot again.
Does ubuntu support this naturaly or should I rather stick to Mint again ?

>>56425359

it was my first and only step into gnu+linux, never used anything else never looked back. Just werks (tm)

>he doesn't give himself a couple days of vacation at home at the end of a trip

Why would you intentionally come back home on the last possible minute? This isn't window's fault. You need to plan better.

Also what is with people having such slow updates? I hardly ever notice mine. Longest one has been 15 minutes.

>>56444048
you're stood around, not being able to do your shit, while microsoft does it's shit, repeatedly

fuck that
it's primitive

>>56451521
you have to plan your life around microsoft sorting it's shit OS out

"you need to plan better"

because the OS is fucking garbage

>>56450004
Ubuntu (god I hate that name) and Mint are basically identical. Mint pulls downstream from Ubuntu iirc.

>>56452324

I have 4 computers. Two use Windows 10, one uses Ubuntu, another uses Arch.

I still plan to come home a couple days early to account for plane delays, resting at home and getting back to a normal schedule, and being able to relax on the way home instead of thinking about working the next day.

>>56425513
I just installed mint, dual booting with winderp. Did I fuck up? I'm actually really enjoying using it after purging all the firefox crap.

Idiot there's ways of disabling updates.
Start> search for "Services">Windows Update >properties> Disable!

Also change the Group policies too.
Then whatever needs to be changed in the "Settings" side.

Had a "Cumulative update for x64 systems" which fucked alot of my shit up so fresh install and for the first time made a restore image.
