Windows 7 is fucking shit. It slows down to a crawl within months. I have to wait 5 minutes on a fresh start for firefox to launch after clicking the icon.

I don't care about MS spying on me, since I only use Windows for games, and all my data besides Windows is encrypted with LUKS. Should I get Windows 10? Is there a reliable way to get it for free?

Thanks for pic

>>57263493
No problem...

Anyone?
>>
>>57263418
get win8.1 if anything

win10 is just a buggy mess
>>
>>57263675
How is it buggy?
How is it worse than 8.1?
>>
>>57263418
>It slows down to a crawl within months.
The problem isn't windows, its you having shitty habits downloading spyware, adware, malware and crap, I have 8 year old systems with 7 on them that run just like new because I'm not a retard.
Learn2maintain a system, using 10 or 8.1 will be the same with you still downloading shit.
>>
>>57263418
>It slows down to a crawl within months
Only when fully updated because of all the poo they threw on it, do this >>57261246 and run common sense 2016.
>>
>>57263691
animations fucking up, half the buttons not working, windows update installing wrong drivers
>>
>>57263721
That is a shitty recommendation, SP1 is 5 year old, stuxnet and other virus could hit by just "having" a file on your disk, not even opening it.
Just download a fully updated iso or make one yourself nerd.
>>
>>57263712
I don't download anything besides games. I don't have anything in auto-start, Tried cleaning with ccleaner, tried de-fragmenting.
>Learn2maintain a system
Somehow, I don't have to do fuck-all with ArchLinux. The OS is there for me, not the other way around.
>>57263721
Does that really work?
I guess I could do that, fuck security issues.
>>
>>57263764
>Just download a fully updated iso
From where?
>>
>>57263769
>I don't download anything besides games.
Well, guess where the virus come from...
>Tried cleaning with ccleaner, tried de-fragmenting.
Hahahahaha, you serious?
>Somehow, I don't have to do fuck-all with ArchLinux
Yeah but you can't do fuck-all at all in it

>>>/g/oogle

>>57263791

Why wouldn't I be?
>Yeah but you can't do fuck-all at all in it
I can do anything besides games perfectly fine.
>>
>>57263764
While i agree it's not ideal that's the least shit of the alternatives.

Plus he said he uses Arch as main OS so it'll be only for gaymen.
>>
>>57263829
>that's the least shit of the alternatives.
But it's not, hell even microsoft released a cummulative update with all the shit from those past 5 years, its like a SP2. Not updating is retarded even if you just game on it.
>>
>>57263418
Funny i run w7 ultimate and my rig runs fine fire fox opens 5secs after clicking the icon, i think your issue lies with not understanding that a computer can run fast if your hairy foot fetish porn you downloaded has virus's slowing it down.
>>
>>57263848
I don't browse porn on windows.
>>
Get a new computer
>>
>>57263846
>released a cummulative update with all the shit from those past 5 years
and all the extra telemetry + customer experience botnet shit backported from 10 too goy :^)
>>
>>57263897
>Muh-telemetry is bad!
Then make your own slipstreamed iso with only the updates you want! Oh wait! You're probably retarded and you can't do that, poor thing. Keep complaining about the big evil corporations

Learn how to use a computer, boy.

>>57263819
>Tried cleaning with ccleaner, tried de-fragmenting.
Oh, my TV is changing channels randomly Surely cleaning its' surface would fix it!

Be careful with what you're installing. Also, Windows 7 has automatic defragmentation when you're not using it for a while, this what you did is basically useless.
>>
>>57263873
I didn't say browse did i??
>>
>>57263958
>Be careful with what you're installing.
I'm only installing cracked games.

Anyway, a solution I see would be to install Windows with all drivers, make a snapshot of the partition and restore it every once in a while.

I'm just asking if the latest iteration of Windows is bad if I don't care about telemetry and UI consistency. Especially since MS made the latest version of their API exclusive to 10.
>>
>>57264011
How can I download porn if I don't even browse for it? Anyway, I don't run any executable besides games and their installers.
>>
>>57264060
>I don't run any executable besides games and their installers.
Gee I wonder why...
>>
>>57263418
Learn how to defrag your disk drive and stop using IE, faggot.
>>
>>57264087
Huh? Because I only play games. That's the only thing Windows can be called "good" for.
>>57264100
Never used IE besides for downloading Firefox.
Defragging doesn't help.

Anyway, back to my question: any issues with 10 or 8 besides metro and telemetry?
>>
>>57264149
Yeah, the user, you will fuck it up even worse than 7.
What you need is an SSD.
>>
>>57264178
I will buy an SSD (250GB 850 EVO) in a few days (once I compile a larger shopping list). But I'm not sure if this will help. And also, if I'm getting a new hardware, why not get an up to date winshit as well?

Oh, anothjer issues I had today: I plugged a flash drive and it was "installing" it for like 5 minutes and ended with an error, and the drive wasn't registered. I've put it in another port and it worked. Not a hardware issue for sure, as all ports and the drive work on loonix.

Is this nigger serious?
That's a hardware issue, could be temporarily like, the usb didn't make fully contact with the pins, but harware issue without a doubt.
>>
>>57264283
>temporary hardware issue
Okay.
After I rebooted, replugged the drive, it still didn't register.
Why doesn't this always happen to windows and never to normal OSes?
>>
>>57264313
Sound like your hardware, windows is being cautious and won't fully register it unless its working at a desired speed on the link and linux just does it at whatever speed its linked.
>>
>>57264060
Torrenting like every fucking asshole
>>
>>57264376
So, dare I say it, linux just works?

Also, how do you even defend the "installing" message when a flash drive is plugged in?
>>57264416
I don't watch 3dpd.
>>
Bump. Any more Windows 10 users here?
>>
>>57263958
I've had the same win 7 install since 2012. No problems.
