Don't bother posting this here, other Windows users calls this a PEBKAC episode, and Linux users will berate you for using Windows.

macOS is the best.

Holy shit Windows is trash

Not a single MShit update was installed onto my system since its first day. Please enlighten my about my glaring security exploits and what I'm losing on not installing 9001 packages of bloated code. The biggest threat to your system is indian streetshitters working at MS.

Hope your identity gets stolen faggot

>>60174865
what's my identity worth if it's not associated with any bank accounts?

The things I hate most about Windows 10 updates are the:

>"We couldn't complete the updates" message. This tells me fucking nothing and gives me nothing to troubleshoot. What was the reason you couldn't complete them? It could be something as simple as network connection dropping out. At least give a fucking error code I can google.
>Updates reinstall bloatware. Should I really have to go through and delete CandyCrush once every 2 months?

>dual-boot windows 10 and your favorite linux distro
>keep windows completely disconnected from the internet
>only use windows for games that linux/WINE can't run

>inb4 muh 500 frames per second
Doesn't matter when the games suck :^)

I must be doing something wrong because I've never had any problems with Windows 10.
Oh yeah, I know what it is that I'm doing wrong... Actually looking in the settings and changing it to my liking, which is something computer illiterate /g/ freetards are incapable of doing, apparently.

>>60174960
>falling for the Windows jew
Even worse

>>60174984
Change the settings so that Windows can update without restarting. Where's the setting for that? Or the setting that lets you use your computer while it applies updates? The setting that disables BSOD and instead makes the system display a proper error without crashing the entire system? The setting that gets rid of pajeet spaghetti code sewn on top of a Windows base that they don't even understand?

>>60175168
No, it'll just keep being shit though. They probably hit their peak with W7, as it's all been downhill since

>>60175052
>update without restarting
Not an issue for me since I'm not a retard and shutdown the computer instead of hibernating / sleep. So if an update is due, it applies itself when I'm not using my computer. I've never been cucked by a fucking machine and just sit there while it restarts itself in the middle of anything that I was doing.
>BSOD
Is it 1990s or what, grandpa? Literally never seen one since I've last used Windows XP in 2014.
>spaghetti code
Isn't Windows non-free? Or did Microsoft show you Windows' source code? Anyway, it still just works™, and is a big improvement over Windows 7 in my opinion (especially in UI design). >inb4 bait because m-muh disgusting glossy transparent aero dogshit.

>>60175136
You don't. When you don't change any settings you're obviously actually computer illiterate and the OS takes care of that now by holding your hand like a child and apply updates for you, patch security issues, whatever... Before you'd just end up with an out of date vulnerable system.

>start updates
>walk away from computer because I'm not retarded
>do something else for 10 minutes

It must be hard being so autistic that you can't leave your computer for 10 minutes every week

Should I use Ubuntu MATE

you can. Join domain controller like a normal /g/entooman and pick which updates you want. It's so simple.
And if you don't want updates you can disable/enable windows update service with just one click

>>60175201
Wrong. There are already more mobile devices used to browse the Internet than regular PCs. Microsoft realizes that Windows sales are in perpetual fall and the industry shifts away from standalone/LAN-based software into the web, which means that old PCs running WinXP/7 are likely to not be replaced with newer ones running Win10. So, they gave up on the whole thing and now try to monetize Win10 with ads and even went so far to boost PC gaming by letting Win 10 to have XBox exclusives, obviously catering to the last loyal group that still needs Windows.

If you play a lot of games, check out Funtoo. It's built on top of gentoo except they made it extremely user-friendly so the average person can install it easily and it has the best support for games (hence the name "fun"too)

I have not run into a Windows game that doesn't run on Funtoo.

It's not really "your" computer if you don't dictate when you can and can't use it.

Keep fighting the good fight comrade

>BSOD- It is NEVER acceptable to let the entire operating system crash when a single application causes a problem, yet Windows allows it.
The only time I ever get BSOD's in Windows 10 are from overclocking. Even games rarely take out your whole computer, usually it just crashes to desktop. I'm pretty sure I've gotten more kernel panics in Linux than Windows 10.

>>60174969
PC and consoles have the same games, if PC games suck so do console games. Your choice is running crappy games at 900p/24fps or 4k/60fps.

>>60170909
It is really sad

HAHAHAHAHA this is STILL the state of Windows? They've had like, what, 30 or 40 fucking years and this shit still doesn't work?

How is it that fucking Arch Linux just works once you install it, but this shit doesn't?

>>60176675
>PC and consoles have the same games
Wrong, PC only gets a small selection of games available on consoles, and even then they're just sloppy ports.

I will say that PC is great for niche games made by non-professionals that probably wouldn't be published for consoles.

>>60177211
There isn't a single console exclusive I could actually justify buying a console for except maybe Zelda, and even then the WiiU and Switch are still much too expensive to justify. Most console exclusives are multiplat quality or lower, the only reason anyone cares about them is exclusivity.

>>60177257
Fuck you, FF15 is great

>>60177111
I use both Arch and Ubuntu regularly, Windows is no less stable than either. Windows 10 bluescreens are very rare.

>>60176033
Its called compromise. Windows users compromise on how much control they have over the OS and how much visibility they get into it, in exchange for an OS that works OOTB, or will work with whatever kind of setup they've got with no fuss. Linux users in turn get absolute control over their OS and other software they use on it in exchange for autism, which they need in order to spend days configuring their OS, ricing their desktops and screeching on /g/

>>60177282
How do you even get kernel panics? I think it happened to me once when I tried installing gentoo, didn't know what the fuck I was doing and shouldn't have tried to manually configure the kernel this was a user-error.

By comparison, Windows BSOD has been caused multiple times by just leaving it idle (what the fuck was it doing in the background that caused it to BSOD?), using Visual Studio, playing games, etc. None of these can be attributed to user-error when the installation and running of these programs is handled by the system; it's designed to just work but it doesn't.

That's a funny way of spelling "shits the bed"

>>60177383
So when you get an machine with Windows, what exactly do you have to do to configure it to be usable? Find your WiFi router and type in a password is about the height of most people's configuration with windows

>>60178207

Not that oerson, but:
>install chipset driver
>install ACPI driver if laptop (otherwise power management is trash)
>install video driver
>install keyboard driver if laptop (otherwise no Fn key)
>install touchpad driver if laptop (otherwise no multi touch gestures)

Audio, nowadays MS sends the realtek driver, so that's fine. Ideally you'd want to use other manufacturer drivers, such as USB3 and NVMe, over Windows default ones. So it may work out of the box, but you're not getting full benefit of your hardware.

>>60178387
>Tfw new wangblows hp laptop required none of this

>>60178447
As I said, it works and you may not even notice. But once you get all the proper drivers you;ll realise how terrible the out of the box experience is. Until then you don't know how well that machine should actually perform.

>>60178544
Not him, but that sort of answers the question: windows is usable out of box without post config. I get what you're saying, if you want the most from your hardware on windows then that stuff needs done, but that is optimising it, not Configuration needed to make the OS usable

>>60176033
Not sure why are you quoting me, since I've already talked about your point. I've never been nagged about updates, ever. Because I did the one thing computer illiterates are incapable of doing, that is changing a single fucking setting.
It is good that it is like so by default, since now the computer illiterates won't be using an out of date operating system full of unpatched vulnerabilities like they otherwise would.

>PC has less games than console
How is it even possible to be this retarded? No console has ever had more than a few hundred games released for it.

Things consoles don't have:
>The entire Paradox Interactive catalog
>Any good RTS games (limited by controller)
>Any good FPS (limited by controller)
>Ability to play any game back to the 1980s using emulators (ie DOSBOX)
>Any of the "esports" games (except Overwatch but Overwatch competitions are exclusively PC)
>Smaller indie games (of which there's literal millions and some are pure gold)

And what do consoles get in return?
>Twice per generation triple A cookie cutter exclusive

>>60179037
by games, I mean REAL games, not your shitty little indie games and shareware crap

>>60179937
Consoles don't have games, they have movies.

I agree with you ANon

The way I look at it PCs can play all games from MAME all the way to Wii except OG xbox. Plus the games released for PC so that's a fuck load of games.


Still don't understand how people try to compare a console to a PC and think it can be beat.
