Yes, yes it is.

>>56635818
I don't know. Every time I go to use it, I get a 4 hour update and lose interest.

>windows

>>56636062
I used arch for the past 6 years, and I still prefer windows as a mobile OS and as a desktop OS.
Compatibility, man. I need it for all muh programs.

>>56635867
it's actually pretty comfy. and it has much better privacy than windows 10

>>56636062
I used Arch for the past 6 years, and I still wouldn't wipe my ass with it if you paid me to. Windows compatibility, man. It's a fucking meme. Especially if you know how to program.

Yup. Arch + Windows 10 Dual boot is great.

Can't tell if you are quoting me or...?
I am a nuclear engineer and the software I use at the plant doesn't run on linux, so I use Windows on my laptop.
And I play games on my desktop, so no linux there, either.
Before I worked here, I ran Arch on my laptops for a long time, but now that I have grown out of ricing and all that shit, I have no reason to switch back.

It would appear that I have you beat

Its a great operating system but its constant need to do things for you (and usually predict incorrectly what you were aiming for) and the spyware shit ruins it.

>>56635818
It's snappy, yes. The color scheme is completely fucked up. USB devices... well that shits been around since windows xp. Would I use it full time ? No. Stick to Win7.

Only on the CPU boss

>>56636453
How are you eating up 7.2GBs of ram?

>>56636453
>My desktop has better specs than your laptop
And my PowerEdge 930 is better than your puny desktop.

>>56636469
>only on the cpu
I also twice the ram. What gpu you running? I have a quadro 1000m

its better than windows 7 by far and anything is better than windows 8.1 which is a massive piece of shit.

>>56636500
Dubs of truth

I just went from 10 to 8.1 because the Electronic Frontier Foundation has confirmed that it is spying on you to some degree and Microsoft has refused to admit this.

I really like Windows 10, but the botnet meme isn't a meme, it seems. ;_;

>>56636489
Shit ram management

> Using a server as a workstation
Prove it fag

>>56635818
Better than 8, worse than 7.

nothing wrong with windows 8 or 8.1 unless you are all muh start menu metro ui

>>56636658
What makes you think I use it as a workstation?
It's part of my virtualization rack. I am using it for CCIE training right now, but I usually run a DayZ and teamspeak server on it.
Got the box for free from past job as head of IT at a startup when we upgraded.

>>56636168

Wait a minute, that's not windows!

You're a phony!

A big fat phony!

>>56635818
Windows XP on a VM

Why do you keep making this thread?

>>56636718
So you're using that equipment for light servers and network switching? Why would you only use that power for those light tasks

>>56636788
It was free, and that's all I need it for.
Also I'm using it as a Plex sever, but that's not very intensive, I just had so much HDD space I didn't know what to do with it.

you learning japanese?

>>56636853

yes, i am trying to anyway

>>56636828
Looks like Windows Server 2012. Clean and pure

>>56636630
We've all known that
Windows has been "unconfirmed" on whether it's even legal according to basic confidential privacy laws. And I'm sure Microsoft has the kind of money to keep avoiding the question for years and years

installed server 2012 r2 with classic start today. loving it so far.

>>56636828
I just dislike it at a fundamental level
Th information needed to identify the programs (in a concise enough space to see dozens of programs at once) is just a few words of text, not a shitty 32x32 icon with a fuckhuge color square behind it
