windows 10 kills drives

>>59450383

Any proof?

>>59450349
No joke, I tried installing W10 after using Ubuntu for 10 months because
>no software
I was really looking forward to just werks.

Instead I got that stupid "Something Happened :( " about 3 times after install. I don't understand how I fucked up. It's literally unusable because I keep getting that same bluescreen. I don't understand how everyone has such wildly different experiences with the same operating systems. Is this just hardware dependent?

>>59450383
What even are you talking about? I've had Win10 on my laptop for 2 years and the disk is still as healthy as it ever was.

>>59450349

macOS > win10

>tfw the best OS is behind a paywall to keep out the poorfag shitposters
>tfw the best OS is behind a tech wall because retarded winkek users like OP can't hackintosh
>tfw macOS is the best OS of all time

>>59450446
When I first installed Win10 I got the same shit. Just write down the reason (which is stated on the BSOD) and google it. In my case it was faulty gpu drivers, so I reinstalled and it works perfectly.

>>59450450
My HDDs are in even better health than when I installed it. IME Win10 heals drives.

>>59450467

OP here, I am pretty sure my T420 can easily get hackintosh but at this point it's better to have linux. MacOS is only any good on Apple devices.

On my computer windows 10(fresh install) eats 1gb of ram(out of 2gb)

Meanwhile ubuntu(fresh install) eats less than a quarter(yes ubuntu with good old fat unity)

Also task manager displays my drive is at 100% all the time.

Somehow i doubt your legitimacy

>>59450349
Windows is great. Don't listen to the haters. needs some tweaking though.

>On my computer windows 10(fresh install) eats 1gb of ram(out of 2gb)

Funny cause for me Windows 10 takes around 700 mb on 6gb ram machine and it gets even lower on lower memory machines.

>Meanwhile ubuntu(fresh install) eats less than a quarter(yes ubuntu with good old fat unity)

Mine eats 1,5G so 2 times more than Micro$oft Windows

>Windows is great. Don't listen to the haters. needs some tweaking though.

1. Sometimes our bias might make it look like there is hate , but it is actual criticism. I hope you can seperate the criticism anon.

2. How is it great if it needs tweaking?

>>59450571

>MacOS is only any good on Apple devices.

Yeah congratulations 25 years later you finally understand Apple's philosophy on computing. A machine is only as good as the software its running, software can only perform as good as the machine lets it. Both need to be developed and made together by the same people in order to achieve a refined and extremely tightly integrated user experience.

Okay, I'm sure you use base Linux without any changes or tweaks yourself.

>>59450672

>How is it great if it needs tweaking?

You do realise that eliminates any OS in your book? Every OS needs tweaking for your personal taste.

macOS is better than windows 10. shit, after what microsoft pulled last and current year i'd even use windows 8.
dual booting sierra/win 7 on my iMac and """""""TRYING"""""""" to install a gui on freebsd on my x220 because anything is better than gahnooslashloonix.

>>59450661
Well that's weird...

After all the more ram you have the more is taken(true for all software)
Maybe swap helps more than i thought
Then again windows has it's own version of swap called pagefiles but that has not been working well for me...

>Using Bitlocker
>Not using VeraCrypt

Look, OP, it's one thing if you're going to use a shitty OS, but don't use shitty encryption. Remember: if the government can break your encryption, so can criminals.

Am i the only autist that does not change an OS he is given?

>>59450830
So you use the default username and password, then?

>>59450809

OP here, can you use VeraCrypt on your system partition?

>>59450349
Kill yourself, you dumb fucking shit stain.

He says as he pulls a dildo out of his ass

>>59450847
Oh i see what you mean....

But no i just don't do things like change the desktop or change wallpaper. Or add any conveniences like a desktop clock.

I will add programs but they do not have anything to do with cosmetics, i am not good with that.

the NT platform needs to die a horrible death

seriously, it's been almost 25 years

M$ needs to build a new platform (kernel etc.) from the ground up, because the cracks are getting huge and they can't keep putting duct tape onto it and say "it's the new trend"

One where there is no fragmentation on the disk, no registry, no svchost etc.

I mean most alternatives of winshit already implemented such stuff, and it makes me vomit that fragmentation is still a thing people need to worry about in 2017 when using HDDs

>inb4 go full SSD
not happening, it's still too expensive

>Trusting Microsoft
One time I left my Thinkpad on for 16 hours idle. I came back and I see the "don't worry your stuff is still here screen." without any user input, it went ahead and installed Windows 10. An operating system that installs without asking is troublesome and can be compared to a virus. I don't know about any of you guys but I'll only use my Win 10 pcs for "official business, no fun allowed" types of things.
>>59451170
Bro its like double the price per GB, but even more performance. SSDs are worth it, really.
