They shouldn't because of its dishonest practices. People seem to settle with unacceptable shit just because it's more comfortable.

The better question is why wouldn't the majority of consumers use GNU and ChromeOS.

Stop shilling.

agree

>reliable 8.1 is more reliable >compatible with basically everything 8.1 has better compatibility than 10, and doesn't break many applications that w10 does >doesn't require tinkering 8.1 doesn't require tinkering, and because of better compat, probably requires less >direct X 12 offering gaming support The average consumer isn't a geimur and won't care about or need dx12, the few games that offer it also offer dx11 or vulkan, so win8.1 users aren't missing out.

>doesn't require tinkering But it does. After you've done that it's fine though.

I kind of enjoy how with W10 in particular, MS isn't just overhauling the basics of it in ways most users don't appreciate it but trying to whitewash it and pretend this is entirely normal.

>reliable Only for newer computers >compatible with basically everything Such as it's lack of support for many nVidia Chipset IGPs, which although is old, can still view 720p fine Dx12 is only relevant for the newer computers
It is not that nice for older computers.
Jace Richardson
Because it's not reliable at all

This is gettng repetitive.

Any more infographs like this for a summerfag? I've been around the site for a while but only now decided to check g out, this shit is blowing my mind, i thought when i did a clean install and unchecked everything i'd be fine but just found out about the telemetry bs, id love to try linux at some point but i dont have it in me atm, im already learning to live gappsless on my phone
Just make sure you know what you're doing when applying settings from the above link. You probably don't want to disable updates, certificate updates, time sync and the like. You also don't need to disable settings like camera/microphone/contacts/notifications access if you don't use store apps because those only apply to them.
I like infographs cause they usually spark my interest in various topics such as this, and I have bad memories of trying to use kmspico on throwaway pcs, then again i never tried dling from such a legit looking place, then again again my windowa defender lit up red just from torrenting it, why do home owners not get to easily disable spying?
>why do home owners not get to easily disable spying Because normies start messing with the system and disable things just because the internet told them to and then wannacry happens.

Not really, at least for me. When I upgraded my graphics card I decided to move from W7 to W10. The problem is that as soon as I installed Crimson 17.7.2 for my MSI R9 270X, it crashed, leaving a blank backlit screen. I am STILL trying to fix the issue after 3 days. Won't work on 7 now either
