Hi, /g/
Will I be burned at the stake for installing Windows 10 on my SSD/Desktop? Windows 7 has been giving me shit recently, and I cannot afford to tinker with Gentoo until after the term ends.
Here's my reasoning for installing windows 10 pro:
>Directx 12
>Runs LoL and a few others natively
>slightly better optimization than w7
Here's what I/we hate about w10:
>micro$oft
>telemetry(even though it's just tracking how the system is being used)
>limited on desktop customization
>not gentoo
Here's how I will redeem myself:
>get a Thinkpad with a i7 processor and install new stuff, plus gentoo
PLEASE DON'T THROW THE FIRE!

You will be burned at the stake for being a massive sodomite.
>Directx 12
how is that a reason
any game coming out worth playing also supports vulkan and older directx
eventually they will all either be vulkan or both, dx12 win10 monopoly isn't going to happen. the industry won't let it.

A better question would be why he expects DX12 to see any relevant implementation within the next few years, when the few rare positive graphs stemming from it come from unfinished and unstable beta or alpha stage games where crazy telemetry is a norm and not a sign of anything (like Hitman for example).
Even if DX12 does have relevance, these days new games are less and less exclusive to Windows, and more and more present on MacOS and Linux; which are better alternatives to Win10 while keeping Win7 sandboxed in the back for old games.

You'll be fine; do it.
>>60566490
Use another version of GNU+linux if you don't want to fuck around with gentoo.
Why the fuck cant you do what you want? Do you need group of anons from image board to dictate your life and approve/dissaprove everything you do?
Holy fuck, if Win10 suit your needs, install it, its not like Stallman himself will burst into your house, inject his mighty interjection inside your case, blow it to pieces, declare "ITS ALL GNU NOW" and leve, if you dare to install something else than Gentoo.
I know this is joke thread, but some people really think like that. And thats scary.

But you should always use software that respects your freedom unless your at risk of death.

You should always use the software that fits the task/needs the best. Its just a tool.

Freedom is more important than funtionality. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for freedom.

>Hello, good sir. Do you have a time to talk about Freedom and our Linux Witness movement?
Just use an easy distro.
>>60569260
*GNU+linux or as I have recently taken to calling it GNU with Linux.

I wanted to use directx 12 because it offers excellent optimization, as I play quiet abit amount of games.
What are alternatives to notepad++ on linux? Isn't c# limited to Windows?
