Thoughts on Windows 10?

Other than the firewall fucking with things occasionally and having to turn it off I don't really have any complaints.

>>383000821
Bean using it for nearly 2 years now.
No issues whatsoever.
Interestingly i also did not found any games i could not get to run.

>>383000821
It's a fucking mess

Not had any issues with games but for some reason it just refuses to shut down now. I press shut down PC and it's stuck saying 'shutting down' until I turn off the PC by holding the power button down.

Also the start menu is a joke. Nobody wants apps on their desktop Microsoft, it will never be a thing.

>>383000821
Buggy piece of shit

>>383000821

Would be good if they stopped the spyware.

Installing the anniversary update and the creator's update removed the telemetry blocks put in place. The early creator's update also switched telemetry to full before complaints were made.

Websites that you visit. Filenames that you open. Programs that you run. Double check that you are at least on basic telemetry if you're not going to block it manually. XBOX owners, you're fucked anyway.

It unironically just works. Since I'm outside US jurisdiction I also don't have to worry about spyware.

It's malware.

There is literally nothing wrong with Windows 10.

If you're still using 7 you are a legitimate autist.

No, just like directx 9. See when vista came out, it was horseshit and everybody knew it. And directx 10 did not offer anything very significant over directx 9. People stayed with xp. So we had a massive developer backlog just sit with directx 9 because that was the largest market.
Currently, developing a directx 12 only game is for windows 10 users only. Vulkan does exactly the same things graphically, and works on 7/8.1/10.

GNU/Linux Now has the best OpenGL drivers for AMD hardware available on any platform in the form of the open source Mesa RadeonSI.
The Mesa RadV Vulkan driver is also proceeding at a rapid pace and is already faster than the OpenGL driver, though not quite as consistently fast as the closed source official Vulkan driver.

The Nvidia driver is actually exactly the same as the one used on Windows. OpenGL and Vulkan performance is consistently demonstrated to be the same across platforms.

The performance hit seen in most Linux games compared to the Windows version is the result of trying to port from one high level (non-standard) code path, to another high level (standard) code path. More recent ports are starting to replace OpenGL with Vulkan which allows the DirectX codepath to be more easily and directly replaced as its lower level. This can be seen in this comparison of the Mad Max OpenGL version, compared to the linux-exclusive Vulkan version.
Games that are actually designed for Vulkan will see even more impressive results.

Still shits all over Mac and forever will

>>383003652

No shit, DirectX is a brand name for all of Microsoft's non-standard proprietary APIs.
Vulkan is a competitor to Direct3D.

If you want the rest of the functionality without being locked in you want OpenAL, OpenCL, SDL, etc.

>>383001656
This right here is why Windows 8 was the best OS. I base all my beliefs on the hotness of the OS-tan. Windows 8 had 2 hot OS-tans. They expect me to go to a white haired harlot when Windows 8 has two girls. Look at them, they are literally promising you they can build your computer for you. Look at the awe Yuu has and tell me that Windows 8 isn't amazing.

Windows 10 is lame. Only one girl and she keeps demanding I replace my computer with circular orbs for some reason.

Honestly Windows 10 has made me start spending my time in Linux. It looks better, has a more consistent UI, and I don't have to deal with error messages I can't figure out how to fucking fix without shady fixes from Pajeets.

WINE works pretty well for the one piece of Windows software I couldn't do without. (Musicbee)

Starting to experiment with WINE for steam as well, hope we live long enough to see Overwatch work in Wine.

Sad reality is that I'm such a gamer that I'm always loning for games which are not made for Linux or do not even work for Wine.

>>383000821
my experience with it was miserable, went back to 7 after about a year of pure suffering. nothing works like it does on 7, all the menus are fucked up and obtuse, theres tons of bugs and crashes.. I had a bluescreen once trying to change my wallpaper, for christs sake. Got booted off a game more than once because of updates. Stuff like minimizing from the taskbar and other basic shit not working properly. Generally felt sluggish on 16gb of ram and SSD, 7 feels much faster and responsive. The UI looks awful, you can't use a classic theme like in every other version.

just use 7 unless you absolutely must play all the Windows 10 exclusive games (which there are like 5 right now).

>>383009660
I use w10 on my laptop (& w7 for desktop) and i never had a problem with it. (Just disabled Cortana and Telemetry as soon i got it though)

Mac user here, bought an iMac a month ago and decided to install Windows 10 to play games I used to play when I was in high school

holy shit this is bad on some points. This is just a gaming partition so I don't do browsing or anything, I just play game. First thing lacking is the virtual iso player that was in W7. It was cool, I don't know why they removed it.
Second of all, wtf is going on with the antivirus ? The OS ask me to go admin mode or to accept some stuff way too much, I feel like I'm loosing time. I know what I'm doing, stop asking me. Oh, and sometime the OS just don't want me to delete files or to move them, just like that.

Last one, but there's a very “freemium“ feeling of the OS. There's ads in the menu and it comes with a shitty antivirus that keeps telling me it expired and that I should pay because I'm not protected or something. That's annoying, it shouldn't come with something like that included.

Other than that I don't really have to complain. The apple trackpad got bugs but I guess it's apple fault for not making good drivers. And I like the MacOS keyboard better but that's probably because I'm used to it.

TL;DR : Great for games but I won't use it as my everyday OS.

Because it's legally free, way less bloated than the alternatives, has incredibly convenient software repositories and respects your privacy. In fact, you should only ever launch Windows to play a video game and shut it down immediately after you're done.

>>383010510
Windows 10 forces updates because normies can't be trusted to EVER update their shit because it's too inconvenient for them.
>but just let us turn it off!
Then you'll have the same problem, normies will turn it off and never update.

These ransomware attacks you've probably been hearing about the last few months were all successful because even the somewhat-tech-savvy fucks in charge of servers don't update their shit when they're supposed to.


System updates might seem like an inconvenience, but they're there to protect you. Just stop playing videogames for 15 minutes and let your fucking computer update.

>>383011508

If people just took some fucking interest in their security, maybe we wouldn't need Microshit to babysit us

I'm not claiming that updates are bad, but punishing the majority who aren't retarded because of a large minority is criminal.

yes. 7 is supported until 2021 IIRC

I think Windows 10 is better than what people say in its current state but it's not as good as windows 7 since it has some compatibility issues with stuff (which is fixed by community patches most of the times), I'm not downgrading because I have a i7 7700k but, really, no other reason to upgrade to windows 10 aside from having modern hardware or playing a videogame that only works with windows 10

The most dangerous thing cross-site scripting can be used for is hijacking accounts. It can steal your authentication tokens and pretend to be on on another website you have open.

If you want to be safe, don't browse 4chan while trolling Facebook or making Amazon purchases, or even logging into them. If you want to be extra safe, just don't have multiple tabs or browser windows open at the same time, and avoid clicking links; manually navigate to the page instead.

The old start menu is overrated and fixed completely in 10

>>383000821
The most garbage OS ever, setting up W10 on my laptop which came with it practically gave me cancer. I've had it turn off to install updates during important background tasks even when I disabled that option. (Only solution was to forcefully remove all update related tasks so it literally can't update, oh and I had to do this to stop fucking Cortana constantly restarting itself) Plus the amount of work I went through just so I have admin access to my own god damn files. Every design aspect of this OS is shit. They can pry W7 out of my cold dead hands

>It can steal your authentication tokens and pretend to be on on another website
>pretend to be on on
That's supposed to say "pretend to be you". It could also have a keylogger in there somewhere, and there's really no way of knowing what site might do it. Even user-submitted text on an https:// website could have scripts hidden inside them that automatically execute a script when they load. See: the self-retweeting tweet, or the myspace worm that infected anyone who visited a user's page to add them as a friend, then infect anyone who visted THEIR page to add the original page as a friend, and just kept on spreading and spreading and spreading.

Those only got noticed because the way they were designed to behave made them noticeable. There's really no way for an average person (and even many tech-aware people) to know this shit is going on until it's already happened, unless they're paranoid and look for this type of shit in every page they visit.

>>383017062
wine works well with older games actually
the problem is that it doesn't work with dx9+ ones at all as far as I'm aware

That's just how it is, they literally don't give you full access to directories where programs are installed so if you want to do stuff that isn't browsing facebook you need to jump through hoops. You can't just say 'I'm an admin, fuck off' like before. Windows' own office installer couldn't uninstall a program because it didn't have the rights.

>>383017561
It literally shut off while it was doing things and those files are gone, this has happened to businesses dumb enough to upgrade and they lost data numerous times. Sorry the parameters this os was designed for is just minimal use from people who don't know how to use technology.

>>383009135
>It's still supported until something like 2020 anyways
Does that mean in 3 years I'm going to be forced to update?

It works. The reset feature is nice since I don't have to dig up an old cd or use a slow ass usb to reinstall. Don't need to keep cd key too.

>>383000821
I used to have it on my computer, but for some reason, it didn't always shut the computer down when I clicked shut down. Anyone else have this problem?

I wasn't at the computer genius, how are you supposed to see a warning while it's idling with the screen off? I should also mention I had already 'disabled' auto updates by its own settings. M$ thinks you can only use a pc for 12 hours a day and then they can just do whatever after the time is up, registry changes turned that shit off once and for all

>>383000821
Literally don't care about it. Linux/Mac are getting more support of games thanks to Vulkan. And also with Vulkan becoming more standard, Win7 is still best operating system. So why even talk about it? Unless you're that desperate to play those shitty rehashed Xbone games, there is literally no reason to ever use Win10.

>>383018709
Dumb question but what if you just proxied everything?

Downgrade from 7.
Shady as fuck.
Forced Botnet.
Never upgrading to it since my VNs wont run on it.

While forced updates are a problem too they can be stopped with the LTSB update.

It still gets all your information, but the recipient just has a different IP attached to it.

Since it's your computer itself that's the spyware, the ip the recipient gets doesn't change anything, since your computer still knows your original IP.

>>383000821
I hope Vulkan keeps up the pace. It really is a godsend and it will provide some much needed competition in the gaming sphere for operating systems. When everything can't just be held onto Windows because of D3D then everyone cross operating system support will thrive much more. And we'll see Windows lose it's dominance in the gaming sphere on Computer. That's a good thing.

>>383019863
again, it was one night. There was no warning because I already disabled that option but it decided to turn off my computer anyway, I know it was that stupid updater. I could leave my w7 PC running for weeks and nothing would happen, that's how it's supposed to work

This OS is only made for normies and console players that don't care about PC

>>383018263
W7 does support ryzen, you just need to add USB drivers to the installer using something like MSI Smart tools and thats it.

>>383020178
i'm getting desperate - switched to 8.1 after buying Skylake and it manages to piss me off w/ something new on regular basis.
One day i'll have to bake that Win7 ISO with pre-loaded USB3.0 drivers, required for kb/m to work properly with the board.

Unbelievable
So in 3 years, literally everything I type and everywhere I go will be stored on government databases to be used against me and also sold to 3rd parties to get money from me.
That's fucking bullshit

Pretty acceptable for daily non-gaming use and doesn't have too many issues with my PSP/DS/GBA SP emulators. Not big on "personal assistants" in general, so not a Cortana fan.

The Sticky Notes feature is good for jotting down random shit when my phone is dead or something.

The forced updates are annoying though.

Overall, an acceptable touchscreen laptop OS. Not a good idea for desktops, though.

How to fix it.
Make LTSB 2016 the Pro version and let people to turn Updates off, BE ABLE TO FUCKING TURN WINDOWS DEFENDER OFF PERMANENTLY, turn ads off, proper start menu, be able to deny telemetry when you install it, and be able to fucking disable the compatibility and software security services, they do nothing.

There, i Fixed Windows 10.

Welcome to software. Try reading some of the terms of service or privacy policies before you click "accept and continue" next time. Just take a look at the shit some of them say and ask yourself "what could they do to me?" or "how could they use that information?"

For instance, the Oculus Rift privacy policy COULD basically allow them to see where you are in your own home when you have your headset on, and practically anyone affiliated with Facebook (for all we know this could range from janitors and college interns to Zuckerberg himself) to see whatever you're seeing whenever they want. The wording technically allows for this.

I used to argue points like "that's just legal bullshit to cover their ass, they'd never actually bother doing that", but then the Snowden leaks happened.

Maybe this is a good place to ask. I cloned my primary drive to an SSD but the tool partitioned it with GPT/UEFI and now none of the loaders work (Win 7 Ult).

Any suggestions? I'm wondering if going back to my old drive where the loader does work, doing the accessibility upgrade to 10, then cloning that over to the SSD will work.

Or just some place to buy a cheap Win 7 key.

I've had every Windows OS since 95 and none of them have given me nearly as many technical difficulties as 10. Windows 10 is the most flawed aspect of my PC and I have a cheap HDD for storage and 2400Mhz RAM with a mobo that won't support more.

Dualboot

that being said, I just installed steam through wine and I'm impressed with how much works. I can just point it towards my games directory as well and if something doesn't work through WINE, I can dual boot.
