I don't know what kind of drugs is MS getting to turn Windows into a piece of garbage that is spyware and is against the end user. I think that once Windows 10 dies, there will be a huge mayhem. But thank god we have Macs and Linux on the rescue... I'll probs be dual-booting Windows and Linux on my computer so that i will still have Windows 10 for any case scenario.

sadly linux doesn’t feel like the answer yet… but its a step on the way and regardless of where we end up at, definitely better than windows. ive been using UnRaid as a nas for years now and despite some smaller issues everything works, even for 100+ days in a row. way more comfortable than microsofts bull-ish

Mac os will go arm only eventually....

I saw the warning signs already with Windows 8. I was hoping M$ would walk it back. And they did, on the metro interface. But when windows 10 was released, I learned it was getting worse. All that telemetry and spyware that was switched on by default. ugh. The last Windows version I used at home, was 8.1. And I kept that only because of schoolwork that needed windows software. Once I graduated, I retired my windows laptop, and built a new desktop PC with Linux Mint. That was eight years ago.

I had that feeling that Microsoft started becoming worse ever since they made Windows 8, but when Windows 8 came out, i was 6 years old at the time (now 17, turning 18 on September) and i had no idea about that stuff, nor this os's existence. I do vividly remember that in 2015, when Windows 10 was announced and that GWX.EXE thing was installed on the computer, i begged my parents to upgrade to Windows 10 without explaining a valid reason because i always thought that updates and upgrades mean something better. I do remember seeing in 2021 old videos about people ranting on Windows 10 installing by itself without the user's permission, and it was hella infuriating. Imagine you were working on a video or something and boom, your pc restarts by itself and the upgrade screen appears. Infuriating right? Microsoft these days and ever since a decade ago has gotten very infuriating. Telemetry over the place, useless stuff smeared around the os (microsoft store? what is our pc, a tablet?), windows updating by itself without wanting you to, Microsoft Edge thinking it's revolutionary and begging you to use it, and now we got Microsoft begging us to upgrade to Windows 11 before mid October 2025, without admiting their past sins. Really Microsoft? At this point there is no wonder why there would be advanced users rocking Windows 10 LTSC until its end. I have been a loyal user of Windows and that's what i get. From now on, i'll be resorting to Windows 10, Macs and Linux. Macs for me are not an option, but i would want a Macbook, either the one with the M1 or the one with the M2 chip, but i should focus on Linux in order to learn more about it and unlock its true power. So long Microsoft...I'll never forget you.

I used to use Windows, in 2022 I upgraded to 11 because all the bugs were gone, but this year, I found lots of instability, and bugs. I didn't like Windows 11 anymore, so naturally, I switched back to 10. Not even a month after switching back to Windows 10, because I just didn't like windows anymore at all, I switched to Debian Linux, and I haven't had any problems since.

I can't bring myself to get Linux for compatibility reasons, but I got a modified Windows installer called Atlas and I haven't looked back. Telemetry is stripped. Local accounts are easy. Updates are optional. I'm not being prompted after every restart to "finish setting up your device". It's free and open source for both Windows 10 and 11.

I don't blame you, Windows is getting ridiculously crazy these days with the amount of telemetry and spyware that Microsoft is putting into their oses. And as strange as this sounds, this is why I plan on using Windows 7 again soon just like I did about 4 - 6 years ago because that was the last feasible os Microsoft has ever released. It may be unsupported now but as long as my programs work and as long as I am wise about what I do online, I personally don't feel afraid to use it in the slightest. Otherwise, I could ditch Windows all together and use Linux from now on if I really had to.

While Linux is awesome in many ways you're absolutely right that certain things just don't work or work like crap. Still, if you can live with that, its still the better choice. As for distros I'd definitely recommend Mint (use the Edge ISO as it fixes some driver problems especially on AMD) and Pop!_OS as well.

@lllIIIlIllIIll 3 күн бұрын

I would suggest to dual boot Linux Mint alongside Windows, gives you the chance to nope out of your Linux experiment should it be too overwhelming and return being used by Windows. Leaves all your files, games and shit as they were when you left, ready to be gradually transferred to the Linux partition. And when you do switch to Linux full stop, you might want to remove the Windows (there are elaborate guides online) and install a windows VM in case you desperately need to run something that doesn't work with Wine.

I run 5 PCs in my home. Not all at once but I have windows 10 on 3 and Windows 11 on one and Zorin paid version on 1 that I have been testing. I think the key that I am looking for is what windows program can I get to run on Linux that does not have a Linux version but the emulator works. What I can not get to work Next testing will be what can I run in a virtual Machine. I have programs that I have ran from windows 95. Programs I got such as Coral Pinnacle video editing. I got that program before Corel got it with a TV stick I bought and I have upgraded it to version 26 over the years. What I see as the biggest problem is the Open Source Linux community. I do not mind paying a fare price for software. If there is no money in development there is no development. MY view is why Linux never got the kick it should have gotten. After all Mac is just Linux Code the same from Unix. With no Open source community to deal with!

@user-ks1oh2wx6o 2 күн бұрын

That last part is completely untrue. Half of the appeal of linux is that its open source. You'd be surprised on how much development gets done from donations alone, mostly because the developers of open source projects really care about their projects, whether or not they make money. The reason linux isn't more popular is because it never comes pre-installed on popular computers.
