Oh wow are you saying a totally different application on a totally different machine with totally different settings for resizing behaves completely different?

who would have guessed

It's about time they fixed that shit with the cmd.exe Window. And it's also about time they sane-ified the Environment Variable window and PATH variable editing.

PowerShell on Linux, when...

It was a joke. I forgot a :^) at the end

I'm not even sure, but I never expected Windows to be secure. Ever since XP I always felt like I was counting the days until it would shit up.

Now I'm using 10 and I'm not getting rid of this feeling, not at all.

>10
>not getting rid of this feeling
by definition the OS you're using is malware

fug

Yeah, I want to get rid of it. My issue is with software compatibility but I'm not exactly fond of any other windows version either. I'm thinking about GPU passthrough.

Dude I stopped using windows ages as my main OS years ago and this perfectly describes why I stopped.

>mfw he can't view the video he just made

I feel you on that. Windows feels pretty invincible as long as you're running in an unprivileged account.

That's not to say you can't get your shit wrecked if you do stupid shit, but the shit just won't leak into the rest of the OS, because Windows actually has a good security model now.

>quick access doesn't enumerate what directory you're actually in
I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT PROFILE THIS DOMAIN USER IS IN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ITS FUCKING %CURRENT_YEAR%

%CURRENT_YEAR% WINDOWS JESUS

You do realise there is an option to toggle this.

topkek

Yes that doesn't make it any less broken now go away

>%CURRENT_YEAR% WINDOWS JESUS

I think you meant: %%CurrentYear%%.

Batch uses double-%'s for variable substitution, and we all know Microsoft only uses CamelCase and is allergic to anything with underscores.

Shows what you know, user.

what are you using now?

Linux, Antergos for the moment but I've been considering switching to Debian Unstable or openSUSE or something.

Well, with free software this wouldn't happen.

nigga are you on 10.6.8

To add on to this, when I first switched I went to CrunchBang which was based on debian stable. CrunchBang's dead now and replaced with BunsenLabs though.

>Cuckblows with a vulnerability
boo-hoo such a big news

>41% of all windows vulnerabilities are of critical importance
This is actually pretty impressive. Terrible and sad, but impressive.

...

I assume you don't have the need for photoshop and things like that.

>Most amount of vulnerability
>Highest weighed average

Why do people use Windows outside a VM these days?

>99% of desktop market
>only has 50% of desktop market vulnerabilities
This is actually pretty impressive.

I don't work with photo editing at all so no. The tiny amounts of basic photo editing I do (cropping screenshots, and making slight adjustments to textures) can be done just as well in GIMP.

Even if I was some fancy photographer person, apparently Photoshop CS6 runs basically flawlessly under WINE.

>I assume you don't have the need for photoshop and things like that.

because dual booting, using windows in a vm, or using windows in a vm with native access to a gpu with vt-d is totally not a thing, faggot

I wish. Sadly it's 10.9

>Microcuckold trying to justify the half of all known vulnerabilities in wangblows

didn't mean it like that, user

microsoft makes a hell of a lot more software than apple or oracle though desu

Fixed

They kind of don't though. Oracle, maybe. But they're about on par with apple.

Jobs' company did it, not Apple.

you literally had to write "pacman" instead of "package manager". Why not change "linux" to "arch linux" you i686/AMDx64 faggot

The exploit probably has to do with the fact that the Windowing System in Window is running at the kernel level

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT

go fix your xorg.conf and never come back pls.
related.
Linux is great but we dont need arch autism.

Go reinstall your malware infected wangblows and never come back from Sup Forums

CS6 works fine for me under wine although CC is buggy.

arch people dont realize there are other linux users on earth i guess. Or are we using babbies distros that work and have installers to save time instead of promoting manual labor of typing every mount point/locale/timezone so we are not linux users ?

>What is the architect installer

Also, what's your point?

its unofficial buggy shit.
My point is using cfdisk or whatever you use+mkfs+mount + running pacstrap /mnt base is not a sign of elitism ,its autism that retarded people promote. If it really was KISS it would be automated. Installing arch is like calculating shit on a calculator and then inserting it into a spreadsheet. All non autistic people use debian sid minimal if they want to build a rolling system from base up with vanilla packages.

>Buggy
What bug did you see?
>it would be automated
It is. Gentoo is manual to some extent.

The thing about arch users is that they only have to install arch once every five years when they buy a new machine. Ubuntu users need to reinstall every 6 months so it's understandable that they think that installing should take less than 15 minutes (which is how long it takes to install arch.)

>win32 scroll bar exploit
who would pay for a publicly known exploit?

Oh also that.

Can't wait to get the distro broken at each update

>Ubuntu users need to reinstall every 6 months

How come?

From what I hear Ubuntu still regularly breaks every update. That was also my experience when I used it back in 04.

fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/07/03/ubuntu-14-10-utopic-unicorn-reaches-end-of-life-on-july-23-2015/

well lets see ,install gnome with it and have to fix fonts and icons because they are not appearing, also usual nvidia/xorg.conf shit
also gentoo is manual because you can install it on more than two architectures , and you can optimize it/configure it for very specific need, while arch is well a normal distro with autism behind it.
>Using ubuntu as an example
you can do better. Also any other linux can be installed in 15 minutes, with an exception of maybe opensuse or debian netinst when you install gnome3/kde. And you dont have to fuck around with configs , unless you want to (yes you can configure shit like on arch on other distros as well, with the difference that arch makes you do it) Arch offers no real advantages over other oses and forces you to do extra work for nothing.

Major updates is 14-15 or the package updates?

Hm, I never had to configure anything on my system to get it working. But if you're using nvidia then it makes sense that you have to work more since nvidia doesn't really have open drivers. I just use intel graphics so there is no problem there.
Updates between major releases.

>install gnome with it
GNOME comes with Cantrell font pre configured. I personally use KDE but you dont even need to do anything with icon cache because adwaita generally works ootb

they think anyone actually uses short term "testing" releases for anything other than gaming/benchmarking/checking out whats new. Ubuntu is a "special" case distro and you should really compare to debian instead, a place where people dont introduce broken packages in order to fit into .04 and .10 schedule. Also where all main packages get security updates. And also any Fedora release is better at being short term than ubuntu.

microsoft has most probably already bought it for much more than that. or the US government has bought it.

>The listing for the exploit describes itself as an “exploit for local privilege escalation (LPE) for a 0day vulnerability in win32k.sys. The vulnerability exists in the incorrect handling of window objects, which have certain properties, and [the vulnerability] exists in all OS [versions], starting from Windows 2000,” according to the seller.

Its scrollbars in kernel all over again

Except nobody bought it in the first week and they brought the price down $5K.

>Its scrollbars in kernel all over again

¿Que?

its not that i didnt have font config, its that every menu looked like ??????????????????? and there was no icons for anything, so blank windows with ??????????????????? everywhere. reinstalling gnome in tty fixed it but it just proves that there was something wrong with architect at the moment.
really now , you never had to configure a mirrolist back in the day (from what i know now its not needed), never had to set locale/terminal fonts to display your language specific characters? never had to manually mount partitions you made and generate fstab while installing? i mean you made the partitions , mounted them and you need to generate fstab because the stupid thing cannot be automated. Its needless manual labor. It may give you some choice on what to use, bootloader , network manager , stuff like that, but why do you have to manually configure your ethernet connection after installation when it works on the installer automatically? its just adding needless extra steps in order to maintain "elitist" status while actually its all simple but needs manual labor.

Configuring mirrorlist is optional and you only need one nearest mirror.

Also who the fuck uses anything but English in their OS?

Why would hackers waste a 90K zero day on some plebians computer ?

They will use it to hack into a larger network of computers to steal data from there.

If linux were to have a larger market share they would be more exploits for it too

>sell it to one person
>said person keeps it a secret because of how critical it is and they want to craft an exploit
>use this to your advantage to keep reselling it to different people who all keep quiet
>profit

Windows renders both fonts and even scrollbars inside the kernel, and this has been used in exploits to completely take over.

linux might even be a more attractive target considering all the servers that run on it. You crack open one windows PC and you get some random faggot. Crack open a server running linux and you get your foot in the door for potentially thousands of people.

>Crack open a server running linux and you get your foot in the door for potentially thousands of random faggots
*ftfy*

It also runs the windowing system inside the kernel too, what the fuck are Windows NT devs doing?

well non-native english speakers who have family that doesnt speak english for example. Or who work faster when using their language. Literally more than 90% of people i know. Back in the day i remember having to configure mirrorlists was mandatory in order to install the system. Maybe something was fucked up with the mirrors or i used an old iso (it was more than 6 years ago) but im sure i had to do it or it wouldnt install.

I think you're forgetting that this 0 day also affects Windows Server, Active Directory and Exchange are serious business

thanks user, can't believe I missed that.

They're serious business, yeah. But AD and all that are usually used internally, kept away from outside access, right?

Not unless the business happens to be using Azure for it, which is entirely "cloud" based, but that shouldn't matter as you can still break into the network behind a router and access physical AD servers anyway

This plays counter to what I've heard about the NT kernel... I heard that it was actually incredibly modular and well-designed, and stuff like Win32 crap was all cleanly separated from it.

Yes, the Windows APIs are summer internship-tier, but I've always heard the kernel itself was an engineering masterpiece.

I'm going by this diagram:
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Windows_2000_architecture.svg

I don't know though, they might have modified that since then, although seeing how modern versions of Windows are incapable of running full interactive text mode and still has to use a full on CMD Window for things like Windows Server Core I'm not so sure.
