>year of the win10 desktop

Is it 2017 in India already, Pajeet?

It costs more than it's worth

...

...

I've recently moved from Win10 to Win7 and that was the best decision i've made on 2016, there's literally no reason to migrate if you don't have a xbox account and a good internet speed to download tons of telemetry updates.

no

Which one I should use..

Why not GNU/Linux?

I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed on dual-boot after trying every distro in the past 18 months. I'm using it quite a lot recently but far from uninstall Windows from my machine, i just want a easy way to get used of linux.

...

Get out underage cancer

>There are literally faggots who aren't at least in their mid 30s posting on this site right now

???

2/10

lmao why are you even here?

...

...

I value my privacy more than microsoft values their operating system.

...

Look at all those pussy repellents

...

Because it is shit, how many times did a Windows 10 update break shit, I lost count.

nice meme

media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8414-corporate_surveillance_digital_tracking_big_data_privacy

I can choose when my system is install new updates.

I'm using the Enterprise version that I locked down using the guides DoD and M$ themselves put out in securing the OS. All for free from a contact in IT.

Suck it Pajeet.

Because I've already got a Windows machine locked down the way I like it, and I'm a lazy fuck who expects his computer to work like it's supposed to. From what I've seen of Win10, with it's forced updates and builtin bloat I don't care about, I'd rather stick with 2008 R2.
I just hope ReactOS finally becomes usable by 2020, when Win7 goes EOL. Either that or the WINE guys finally get DX11 working.

neat.
what it like to be a complete waste and failure of a human?

>Be coding on my laptop from home obviously
Good times.

Because 2016 has better hyper-v, pleb.

exactly

Look at these jealous plebs.

There's definitely some edge installed here

I did lose a good 30min of my exam. I was able to finish earlier so it wasn't that much of a trouble. I wait for the day of the GNU/Linux desktop

Friendly reminder Windows 10 can run Linux applications natively

thats true, but at the core, windows is not POSIX, nor free, nor open source

Linux isn't fully POSIX compliant either. POSIX just describes specification requirements for APIs, not the software itself. It's meant for a certain level of interface compatibility between different OS'

Could you start Xorg server and post screenshot of it running here?

There have been x11 servers available for Windows since the 2000 days, to spawn x11 applications locally you just export the display to display 0 while having the x11 server running in the background

not bad tbh. how long till we get a free software renaissance by dropping native windows support.

Also, it's interesting that microsoft chose to do the exact opposite of apple, who removed x11 support while still being unix all the way down.

I think Microsoft is doing what Intel is doing and focusing more on Big Data and Server infrastructure nowadays, and the only way to do this is to play nice with Linux and UNIX. Microsoft basically wants to steal the suits who currently use Linux for their big data needs and essentially compete with Red Hat in these areas by providing *nix software support while also providing official support services.

Thats cool, but that is not native GNU/Linux Xorg running on Windows' GNU/Linux subsystem, it is Xorg port for Windows running on Windows.

Its a native GNU/Linux xorg application running on Windows GNU/Linux Subsytem though a Xorg port on Windows you mean

My bad. I was refering to the Xorg server application. I belive as of now you still can't install Xorg server from subsystem using apt (apt-get install xorg) and run that instead of runing port of the server for windows.

Not sure about that, to get xeyes I needed to apt-get install x11-apps package though. I don't see a point in running xorg from the Subsystem though when running Xorg from Windows-side uses Windows' native Desktop Window Manager

I came from Holla Forums to check what you guys thought about Win10 and turns out you share the same opinon as some friends I have played with, some people on Holla Forums claim that Win10 is lighter than Win7 and spies just as much as 7 and 8, I don't get it, they are basically telling me to come here to confirm that Win10 is good enough and turns out is the other way around.

I would switch the instant I could play all my games without the need of Windows, and I mean true and trough, no emulation whatsoever.

I'd rather use Vista.

...

Well wine does not do any emulation, so you could use that for dx9 games, and later this year dx11 games too.

...

...

IIRC when this shit came in 2015 we had much shilling for it

Has there been update for the latest build? The changes to telemetry and Cortana weren't rolled out until the 2016 edition for Enterprise and haven't seen anyone say they've seen the same behavior.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was Cortana itself causing all that network traffic.

:^)

Its honestly an admirable level of rice you put to that desktop. I'll give you an 8/10 well done

Very little rice, actually. It's Zorin OS 12. I just selected some GTK themes with gnome-tweak-tool

This is the only reason i stick with Windows 7, usability.

This is a good recommendation. This is where every Windows installation guide should start: Read the NSA/DoD/Windows security guidelines and customize to your needs.
Fucking faggots are rather crying for years on imageboards instead of following one of them professional guidelines (not some copy-paste posts from halfchan).

Look, another local vulnerability which requires physical access to the device, cool story bro.
Not like 99% of Windows Vista+ users search for "how to turn off UAC" the first time they turned on their PC.
Not to mention the 99% of linux users who are led to believe that disabling root password is more secure than configuring a full access sudo to your user account.

Forcing automatic updates is the best thing that happened to security in the 20 years. If you set it to manual, please don't forget to update. Thank you!

Yeah, Win7 and Win8 are getting spyware updates to match the capability of Win10. Though from the Pro/Enterprise versions you can turn all off using the GUI. In the Home editions you have to use registry editor to do that.

Hahaha, hahahahahaha, hahahahhaahahahahaha. (image related)

Image related.

Image related.

I use WSUS offline to handle the updates. I'm waiting a few weeks after each release for any bugs.

Some guy on Holla Forums linked to this guide for locking down W10.

versus
gee, I wonder who would be behind this post
arguably it should only download current data when you put it into financial mode, but it's in no way comparable

A better question is do you legal access have the source code of the system and the rights to modify it and distribute it ?
No ?
Then this discussion is finished.

With software, either the users control the program (free software) or the program controls the users (proprietary or nonfree software)

Ubuntu has (or had) Amazon spyware on it, as soon as you got the basics move on to something else (not Mint or Debian).
May be you'll find yourself installing Gentoo one day.

Install Manjaro (means something like 'I can't do this ' in some obscure nigger language) if you want to get to know Arch.
Easy as fuck to set up and you can learn a lot about GNU/Linux while using it.

Don't update it tho if you're new to it, Arch breaks a lot after updates.

The only thing you'd miss is games written by SJW and the bloatware. Also your personal pictures and porn don't go to Bill Gates.

Good luck faggot.

Start fucking living man, adapt & the future is now.

The government and ZOG-companies will take care of good obedient little boys like you. Keep up giving away your whole fucking life to them shithead.

I never trusted that shit. How do you know it doesn't have a backdoor or something?

I mean to respond that to

There was source at some point but I can't find the link on mydigital life anymore.
Anyway I don't trust spycrosoft anymore.

decent bait thread 5/10

This is actually exactly what I've been looking for. If only Wine played games super well.

Yeah. Luckily most of the games I own on steam work on Linux work anyway. And if Vulkan is any good, maybe more games will support Linux in the future.

Fuck off. The code was there for everyone to see (the information was anonimized) and it was easily to uninstall/opt-out.

Even if it was actually spyware, it's not enabled by default anymore and doesn't send any data.

Fuck off, you meme-spewing sperg.

It's like I'm reading a post from 2016.

Yes, you can request an access to the source code, and view it as long as you like, and verify the behaviour. And you are still eligible to the bug bounty program during your 'inspection'.

The calculator is just an example application you incredibly stupid low protein faggot. Check the whole gnome/kde software stacks with the default settings. It is 2017 and besides Subgraph, no other Linux/BSD distribution have a fucking application firewall.

In Windows you can turn off automatic connections in a few click and group policy settings. In Linux you have to go through each software individually and even recompile some to achieve a boot sequence without network packets.
(Just to be clear, i mean networking enabled, but only start sending packets when you actually start a browser or something. No dhcp and such prior to that.)

I am not a Windows fanboy, I am just very angry that every year I want to switch, the only points for Linux desktop is still just "free" and "open source". I am sorry, but for an operating system, there are not enought.

Who cares if distributions have it by default?
There exists multiple Linux application firewalls
github.com/Douane/douane-daemon
tons of projects explicitly named "LAF" "linux-application-firewall" or "application-firewall-linux"
And probably more, I didn't bother to go past the first page of results
Fuck off, retard

Also, you sound really autistic. You think no network packets are transmitted before DHCP? lmao
Typical windows ricer

Operating systems cost $200?

Or under $10 if you buy a key off eBay.

Or free from thepiratebay.org

A motionless gif. What kind of sorcery is this?

A gif is still an image. This one just has a single frame, instead of multiple frames.

Anyone got the NSA unfuckery guides for Enterprise? I can get a cheap W10 desktop that can play some good vidya, and while it won't replace my Mint desktop, I still want as little data being sold.

Here's the DoD STIG. You'll need an xml viewer for it.

iase.disa.mil/stigs/os/windows/Pages/win10.aspx

Sad thing is, even if you do all this, there's nothing you can do against the antivirus sending all the data it wants anyways.

It's nice to check torrents and USB sticks even if it's only a placebo.

You can disable windows defender.

Anyone got a copy they can upload somewhere? The site wants me to enable javascript but I have a strict "no java on gov pages" policy.

34 here. I think you re right

>There exists multiple Linux application firewalls github.com/Douane/douane-daemon
Douane... Have you compiled it? Have you installed it? Have you tested it? Or have you ever wondered why it didn't make to even the dev repositories of Alpine/Arch/CentOS/Debian/OpenSUSE?
Bonus points for selecting a firewall which can't differentiate between incoming and outgoing connections.

Congratulations! You successfully typed some strings into a text form. Come back when you can do more than just copy-paste search engine results, or when you have an actual solution and can prove me wrong with a real firewall app. (believe me, I really wish that to happen)

Have fun with your Gentoo, and adding random third-party repositories.

5/10 for unintentionally proving my point, showing off your skills and getting triggered.

Lol, Javascript it open source, why are you so afraid? There is nothing malicious on that site. Trust me, I have read the source code for you. :)

How do you like my Win10 desktop Holla Forums?

its funny, when you trim the annoying tracking fat its pretty nifty. The actual search function without cortana is incredibly fast compared to the one in windows 7.

it just confuses me, why would microsoft gimp their own operating system?

When people say never change, they dont mean it to this extreme.

What were you in prison for? Only used 6 proxies when spamming?

Welcome back user.
People say retarded things. I ignore them whenever possible.

There are other tools to fool activation. However KMSPico is simple to use as it just fools Windows into believing it has been activated with a KMS key and creates a task to implement the same key in 180 days. The problem as there are many people who pirate windows products, people take the original activation tool from MDL and add malware/trojans to it, then host it elsewhere.

That's why people say to go to the original source for these tools.

Here you go.

The marketing firms are running the show, along with Pajeet. I would love if they allowed the use of a DE like MATE.

Why would I need a gender studies degree?
:'^) :'^) :'^) :^) :'^)

What the fuck do you do on your computer?

On my linux exclusive set up I can: Browse web, even using services like netflix, play most video games, record music via a guitar and a usb audio interface, create any type of office document I need for work/school, listen to music and watch videos, organize files, manipulate images, use a wacom tablet to draw, etc.

Unless you 100% NEED photoshop or advance excel features for you're job I really don't see what linux doesn't do that you must have windows for.

because win7 still works and is supported. I tried win10 on other people's computers and the only difference I see is a bunch of UI crap was moved around in ways that dont help me

at first I was like this

and then we was like dis

fuck off back to 4cuck. When did the indian shills migrate from 4chan?

...

What did he mean by this?

...

What kind of firewall is that? I've been looking for something like this for a while.

nvm, I realized it's Subgraph OS

He probably didn't just mean costs as in retail price. He also meant the costs of all the security vulnerabilities, all of the resource-hogging bloat that absolutely didn't need to be there, the loss of time because of the shitty GUI nobody wanted that makes doing productive work more difficult, the removed features present in previous versions of Windows that have to be replaced with third party software, etc. All these and up at the bottom line, you know.

MODS MODS MODS

Man that distro looks great, I love the blue theme.
It is basically just Ubuntu under the hood though.

It's Zorin OS. It's very similar to Ubuntu, but a little bit better. I've been running it for quite a while, and it works great. My one complain is that Chromium botnet is the default browser, so you have to download and update Firefox.

>>linux.wikia.com/wiki/Zorin_OS

...

It's free, and libre

>>zorinos.com/download/

one of the things that I wanted was the video desktop, which you have to pay money for. And the game they show is clearly fucking tux cart, a free game that they're having you pay money for.

why?

They're mostly selling the "Zorin support" part with Zorin Ultimate. That's the core of what you are paying for with it.

It's obviously his CP collection.

You get it in perpetuity for free, for non commercial use. And then what, you expect the Microsoft police to come knocking on your door?

Windows 10 doesn't work in text mode. All good software works in text mode.

(checked)

The whole "free for a limited time thing" was a bullshit meme, started probably by some Apple faggot. The thing is, if Wangblows is free, and GNU+Linux is free and libre, it makes the choice retardedly easy. Also, Microsoft doesn't give a fuck, because retards in shithole 3rd world countries will eat up whatever they shit out, meaning huge profit.

...

Try again, Pajeet

I see now. You think I'm this guy . I'm a different poster, pic related. I don't play video games, or use non-FOSS browsers.

No. Got searched on my way back from my dealer's place when a cop smelled "weed" in my car (haven't smoke for 3 years. Never in that car. I find it too dull). And caught be with 36 tabs of LSD, a gram of cocaine, some mescaline, and some oxycodone I didn't even know I had.

Quite the variety. This is probably a naive question, but since there was no weed for the cop to smell, shouldn't the results of the illegal search be thrown out?

I am using Windows 10, and considering going back to 7 because 10 is a bug-ridden mess. For example, the Start menu's icon cache goes corrupt all the time and you get something like pic related.

superuser.com/questions/955586/windows-10-blank-start-menu-icons

...

god i hate that start menu so much

Because Solus is too comfy.

Win10 is still used to handle my gaming needs, but that's slowly fading with my interest in games. Linux handles most of my indie needs and Vulkan looks like it might be the future.

You faggots do realize those tiles are completely superficial and can just be dragged away right?

i still hate having a big fucking empty box the right side while having a list of programs on the left. Also some of those you cannot get rid of from my experience. I just want categories of different software(something most distros get right) or just a straight list of programs I want like pic related.

There is no big empty box though. After you delete all the tiles the start menu shrinks according

Why would I bother playing games anymore? I enjoy Holla Forums, which can be viewed as both a hobby and a profession. Programming is much more rewarding than paying $60 for an 8 hour action movie.

Install classic shell.

...

Because it corrupted itself when i put it in sleep and woke it back up almost took my motherboard's bios with it.

Definitely windows 7. They beat 10 at everything except dirext-x 11 graphics, in which windows 10 perform better by only 3%.

Pretty much. "Free" costs too much.

What a pile of shit
