Look mom! I made the thread again!!

It's not Linux

Remember to Sage and not reply

Ok

Saged for faggotry

Bump

Cause it's actually a huge improvement over 7 and 8.

Nothing is wrong with it.

Forza Apex.
> Protip: you can't
Because it's you who decide whether it's a good reason or not. So, I should rather convince you than name a number of reasons. This is not a good way to open a discussion.

>one
WSL

Just bought new pc parts including a 7700k. Read microshit is gonna stop supporting kaby lake on anything but W10.

Am I forced to buy into the W10 meme guys.

Wat do?

user, I would suggest you not to ask de/g/enerates for an advice. You can get any Win7/8/10 Pro+ key, attempt to activate it in Win10 and see how it works - even if you get a message of your OS being not activated/stolen/etc. Then, see it for yourself.
Pretty much all of your possible problems (judging by the question you're asking) can be solved with a single Google search - like disabling auto-updates if you're into that kind of thing.

I personally love Win10 - went from stolen 7 Ultimate to stolen 10 and then bought myself Pro and signed up for the Insider program.

thats enough of a reason

t. paid microcuck shill

And when does a botnet become an inprovement?

>paid
I wish...

Fucking Microsoft Edge is such a pain in the fucking ass.

I dunno man. I recently tried going back to win7 but had a few issues with a few printers and other devices. But my dick got hard seeing the glorious win7 welcome screen. Man it was such a great OS. Sadly I have to stick with winshit10

You can set any browser as default and disable suggestions to "try Edge".

However, while I want to like Cortana, her using default-default applications for launching stuff - search requests go to Bing via Edge which is double-layered shit; video and music via Groove and that-one-win-store-app and so on.

"Makes her useless shit" I meant.
I use her to set alarms and tell me jokes.

>dx12

>20 games

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_12_support

Because Microsoft still supports Windows 10 and they do not support Windows 7 anymore, so your chances of viruses are much lower with Windows 10 in comparison with Windows 7, also, that means that more viruses are written for Windows 7 than for Windows 10.

lmao wut is this chart

linux is dominating and windows is in shitter? what

...

Both 7 and 8 had botnet so I don't know what your bitching about

all botnets have been backported for 7/8/8.1
go to 10 unless u love aero fagt

Better update system

epic, dude

everything after 8 has laggy piece of shit dwm

Unless you don't install updates.

LOL

>DX10 II: Electric Boogaloo Edition
what the fuck does that even mean?

Is there even a way to get it free anymore

you might be able to use the old AT download still

yep, search for the upgrade for assistive technology users

1. you want to help MS
2. you want to help NSA

MS was pushing Vista with DX10 exclusivity, just like they're pushing 10 now with DX12.
In the end nobody cared about Vista or DX10.
Vulkan is better than DX12 anyway and works everywhere, so it could easily win.

>Dx12 support
Worse than Vulkan, only real 'feature' is lock-in

>Better UI
Hey, they finally got features that have been standard everywhere else for decades!

>Better update system
Again, its nice to see Microsoft try to catch up, but you know that they're just going to fall behind again.

all Vulkan does is bring underpowered AMD hardware close to as good performance to their Nvidia counterparts lol

>Hey, they finally got features that have been standard everywhere else for decades!

Give me one other OS that's done something like UWP

Are you trying to suggest that UWP is a good thing?
Its only real purpose as far as I can tell is Windows 10 lock-in, breaking compatibility with older versions of Windows and Win32 compatibility layers.

The only thing it does that's interesting is the containerization, and really that's GNU/Linux's forte these days. Flatpak and other modern packaging schemes have been doing that for a while now.

>Its only real purpose as far as I can tell is Windows 10 lock-in, breaking compatibility with older versions of Windows and Win32 compatibility layers.

This is exactly what UWP is designed to solve, and Win32 isn't going anywhere anytime soon

>vendor lock-in
literal non-issue. Think before you post.

>This is exactly what UWP is designed to solve

So making software less-portable, and more locked to one platform isn't a bug its a feature?

>Win32 isn't going anywhere anytime soon

Its already been reduced to a second class citizen running through a compatibility layer (which is worse than the alternatives in some ways), and Microsoft is clearly preparing to fully deprecate it with their new UWP-only Windows Store lock.

>Are you trying to suggest that UWP is a good thing?
user, you're stupid and have no idea what are you talking about.

>UWP
Well, UWP doesn't mean shit for the end user, to be honest. It's also a pain to develop on compared to WPF. However, the potential this thing has is tremendous - MS have started to finally realize it with Surface being a tablet with a full PC functionality, and it has real potential to revive Windows smartphone, especially as mobile hardware keeps getting better and better.
However, I doubt the platform itself will make it to the level of Java in a sense of hosting OS portability - at least judging by the design MS promoted like a year ago.

I'm sure WINE will support it eventually, but the point is it improves the windows ecosystem at least

> running through a compatibility layer
what are you talking about

>Well, UWP doesn't mean shit for the end user, to be honest

Yes it does, have you ever used it?

>user, you're stupid and have no idea what are you talking about.
Please explain the advantages of UWP instead of declaring the other position stupid.
What new advantage does UWP really bring to the table?

Isolation of applications? Other platforms have been doing this for a while now with containers.
Easier installs? App Directories have been a thing for decades now on other platforms.
Compatibility with the Xbox? Not really a 'feature' since the only reason that didn't work from the start is Microsoft intentionally broke compatibility.
Same apps on desktop and mobile? Not impressed, Nokia had that with the N900 which could run desktop Linux applications before Microsoft killed them.

It isn't. Don't lie on the internet. Why would anyone lie on the internet.

Dude, I've developed on it. It's a fucking _platform_. The end user doesn't care what's his shit is developed on. The only thing that can be marginally notable is the fact it forces sandboxing making it extremely safe - but that's about it.

dont wana

>Vulkan is better than DX12 anyway and works everywhere, so it could easily win.
Works everywhere, in every 5 games released and that's about it. It's already dead on x86.

Sorry I probably should have read your entire post first. But still as someone who plays games on it it's much more convenient than just W32 borderless window mode as a start. Much more convienient

>What new advantage does UWP really bring to the table?
>Compatibility with the Xbox?
Compatibility with EVERYTHING, user. That's what "Universal" in UWP stands for. It's the main purpose for the platform to exist.
If a device can run UWP - it can run all and any apps that are developed for it. And the platform offers a lot of tools to make these apps as powerful as any high-level PC programs.
UWP isn't that much at this particular moment, but it has insane potential.

As a more vivid example, UWP technically allows you to connect a display, keyboard, and mouse to a phone and get a full-fledged office PC. Give it more time and it'll give you a Sup Forums-tier PC for shitposting on Sup Forums and watching Chinese porn cartoons, that fits inside your pocket and has virtually no difference compared to desktop PC with Win10.
And that isn't limited to phones - nowadays there are loads of stuff that can do shit, especially when said shit doesn't require a lot of processing power.

>Works everywhere, in every 5 games released and that's about it.
Hey remember when that number was lower? Its almost as if its being adopted by developers, but that couldn't be right? Could it?

sure

Yeah, too bad nothing was released since Doom, which was almost year ago. There are 5 games supporting it on PC right now, one of which is Benchmark of the AMD.

>Compatibility with EVERYTHING, user. That's what "Universal" in UWP stands for. It's the main purpose for the platform to exist.
Oh so I'll just take this UWP program over to my Linux PC... oh maybe my Android Phone? How about my iPad? Doesn't seem very universal compared to say developing your application with open APIs and being able to easily recompile for other platforms. Or just using a VM like Java. Or just making a web app.

>As a more vivid example, UWP technically allows you to connect a display, keyboard, and mouse to a phone and get a full-fledged office PC
Again, not impressed. I did that with my N900 years ago. Imagine where we would be today if Microsoft hadn't bought out Nokia and forced them over to its inferior mobile platform back then?
There are still ways to do this with Android or Sailfish devices, though none of them have really proven popular. Phones good enough to work this way are still too expensive or power hungry to be good desktop devices, and the people who can afford the ones that are are going to have another system.
Desktop Linux on phone class hardware has caught on though through the increasing popularity of cheap single board ARM systems like the Raspberry Pi.

Plus there's Chromebooks to consider, maybe they don't run a full fledged traditional desktop OS, but it seems like Web Apps are far more universal in terms of device support. Other than games what reason is there today to not just make a web app if you want universal support?

>Linux
nobody cares

The BoTNET is in all things. You think it's just on an OS LEVEL? Your vehicles, hardware, fridge, etc. All can be controlled by the NSA to find your pedo stash or murder you at any time and any place. They're not just on your PC theyre all around you, so stop being a fucking pussy and upgrade.
Ya turbo cunts!

>nothing was released since Doom, which was almost year ago.

Did you miss Serious Sam the other day? Its not just new games, old games are being updated with support.

Plus we know that Feral are working on future Vulkan based ports, Aspyr is working on Civ VI with Vulkan, and Star Citizen just announced that they would be using Vulkan.

Install Linux

Tell me why I should care about UWP making it possible to run Windows applications on x86 phones and desktop x86 Windows machines.

Why wouldn't I just get a dirt cheap android phone, chromebook, or Raspberry Pi, and build a Web App that really can run anywhere?
Android/Linux is now the most popular OS in the world. Not supporting it with your 'universal' solution seems like a problem.

>disk
>thrashing
Pick two, if you're going to run Windows 10.

you don't have to, but other people do

>Oh so I'll just take this UWP program over to my Linux PC... oh maybe my Android Phone? How about my iPad?
Eventually - yes. It's part of the plan to implement support for UWP on all major platforms.
It forces you to write code in a way that allows direct conversion into a multitude of languages one of which being JavaScript which runs fucking everywhere.
As a matter of fact, Microsoft had already demonstrated part of it when they ported Office to Android.
>I did
Did you?
>Phones good enough to work this way are still too expensive
No, user, no. That's wrong. Even budget phones can be enough nowadays.
>what reason is there today to not just make a web app if you want universal support
Because UWP is similar to web-apps in many ways, but has much more power and potential.

This is why I called you stupid, user. You are continuing arguing on the topic you have no slightest idea about.
You have access to the Internet - go read UWP documentation, watch something on Pluralsight or I don't know.
Why do de/g/enerates have this disgusting yet very common trait of treating themselves as fucking Nobel laureates on any topic they've spent 20 minutes reading about on Wikipedia?

The same people next fail to disable automatic updates in Win10 (four clicks, literally) and promote usage of Linux distros (dev-oriented OS) as desktop OS.

>old games are being updated with support
Yeah, we really needed Quake 1 Vulkan support. I needed that additional 100FPS to maximize my coil whine.

Compared to DX12, Vulkan has no support.

Reused Android subsystem in W10 as WSL, but most people not into it for sure.

wow, it's all about you isn't it?

Botnet is removable in 7 and 8.
Not in 10.

You do realize how new of an api it is retard?

WSL is our lord and savior. Buggy lord and savior, though.
I can't run Cassandra on it, but it runs Rails and Mysql servers just fine. So I just launch Cassandra server, Mysql client and SourceTree from Windows and get a perfect all-around compatible dev environment while still having all the advantages of Windows GUI and performance.

Its supported by every major game engine

supported till 2026

>better driver support
>better task manager
>better file transfer dialog
>much better notifications
>you can finally maximize cmd/powershell
>bash
>virtual desktops
>tiling
>directx 12
It's an all around better system than 7 however, with all those benefits also comes some headache-inducing bullshit:
>file indexing cased my disk usage to go to 100%
>I would go to the bathroom and comeback to a "Please wait" progress dialog because it decided to update itself
>it fucking tried to update my BIOS and failed, soft bricking my mobo in the process. WHAT THE FUCK?!
>more recently, after a update reboot, I was greeted with a "We can't login to your account. Every change you make will be loss. Please log out and then log in again to solve this problem". Of course logging out and back in solved nothing and it kept doing it until it updated itself. Again.
That's why I went back to 7.

If you have 7/8/8.1 serial code, you can activate W10 with it during clean install. Still works.

Hello Sir,

plz upgrade to Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 10(TM), it is simply better. old version are very insecure.
without Microsoft(R) Telemetry(TM), ur Windows(R) is not secure and will be hacked by hacker. also then ads are not personalized for U and that is bad, Sir.

Best regards,
Sandeep

After the shitfest around 7 and 8 i kinda doubt in their so called support.

>It forces you to write code in a way that allows direct conversion into a multitude of languages one of which being JavaScript which runs fucking everywhere.
There are dozens of frameworks out there right now which already do the same thing. Wasm will work everywhere, why should any developer care about a mostly single platform solution under the control of a single vendor who could drop platforms at the drop of a hat?

>Did you?
I did, it was actually very impressive, the N900's debian based OS had features that Windows Phone, iOS, and Android still haven't tackled.

>much more power and potential
In what way? The only one that comes to mind is 3D acceleration of D3D12 vs WebGL something that Obsidian is designed to address.

Maemo was so based I fucking loved it so much. Fuck this gay earth for ruining its chances.

>No, user, no. That's wrong. Even budget phones can be enough nowadays.

In theory maybe, in practice there aren't really any budget phones out there that support everything you'd need to use them as a desktop. There aren't any phones at any budget that I'm aware of that support what you'd need to have a decent Windows desktop experience.

Maybe we'll get to a point where literal phones make good budget desktop systems. Until then devices like the Raspberry Pi running GNU/Linux fill that niche nicely.

>decent Windows desktop experience
But user, there aren't any desktops that can do that either.

All I care about is that I won't need to shell for new license on the 4 computers I have it on, in just 3 years (end of W7 support).

MS "schemes" to force people to upgrade (for free) were actually a boon for me.

Good job, Mark!

Stop lying in the Internet

>Botnet
Buzzword

>>virtual desktops
ugh

>There are dozens of frameworks out there right now which already do the same thing.

how many of those are supported and developed my Microsoft?

Literally the only Windows Phone worth a damn today does this. Definitely at a budget tho

It does look sexy af as fuck though

>Cortana! Remove me from the botnet!
>I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave.

>"her"

Because it supports all the drivers?
I have a AMD Radeon graphics card which may be not supported by Ubuntu 16.04.
What should I do? Will upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 or downgrading to 14.04 solve the issue? If yes, will it work as good as the graphics card works on Windows? Also will have to configure my computer or will the system work perfectly after upgrading or downgrading?

Am I damaging my computer by not using a OS supporting the graphics card?
Also my laptop takes like ~50 seconds to boot? Is that because of the incompatible graphics card?

It's a female character, user.

Did you just assume Cortana's gender, you misogynist shitlord?

Use antibeacon and ooshutup10 you illiterate bastards.

How would downgrading possibly help? Assuming you have a newer GPU this means you should look for rolling release distros. Try Fedora or Chakra.

I actually think you're the troll who posts this question every month
>can I damage my PC by not using an OS with proper drivers
No. You can't.

Does anyone know where I can get a office 2016 product key??
