I don't like windows 10 at all, I have had nothing but bad lucky with it.

around Jan of this year I had some weird issues with a comp I owned crit errors that wouldn't go away untill my c:drive died...

personally I liked windows 7 and I even liked windows 8 somewhat....

what of you OP

Make sure you have compatible drivers before switching especially if you have a older computer, nothing is more frustrating then having that shit not work.It was fucking terrible on launch, its not bad now. Always always do a clean install when installing a new OS.

ditched it a long time ago, their privacy policy/terms of service can suck my cock

first BSOD ive seen in almost 20 years. DX12 is a lie.

THIS

What are you using now?

From a casual standpoint, it's alright. Intuitive UI, makes it easy to game/browse, etc.

If you're looking for anything else, I'd suggest dual booting.

W10 is pretty much the best one since W2000 tbh...runs OK, works good with software and gaming, so yeah overall pleased...

Debian on the desktop, Xubuntu on my laptop

Debian is probably the strongest alternative.

Stay away. Even if you can turn all the telemetry off, why should you have to? Stick with Windows 7 for as long as you can.

I like it. I switched off all the tracking /telemetry settings.

Could someone tell me a good guide to install dual boot Mint with W10 please.

Good choice.

If you know GNU/Linux yeah, but someone coming straight from Windows for the first time would be better off with Ubuntu. Debian can be a pain in the ass to setup.

Yeah, that's true.

windows is fucking shit and it's made by jews but mac is for faggots so i have to use windows but the only decent windows were xp and 7 and the rest are jew horse shit

What do you need to know, user? There are countless guides online.

What about Linux?

I wish I had kept Windows 7 on my main PC. My Wacom Cintiq Companion came with Windows 8 and I wish I had kept that too.
Every time I turn on the tablet it loses more functionality to Windows 10. The touch support has completely failed, and the pen settings won't even calibrate anymore.

never tried it

How to Dual boot mint + W10. I already have W10 installed.

its shit.
win 7 for life

>get a USB or blank CD you don't need
>find ISO file for distro you want ( for example, mirrors.advancedhosters.com/linuxmint/isos/stable/18.2/linuxmint-18.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso )
>use software to burn ISO to USB, like Rufus (rufus.akeo.ie/)
>it'll format it
>reboot with the USB in your computer
>open device boot list (usually F12 or F2)
>select USB
>install using menus provided from there

Forgot to mention, the boot list is in the BIOS portion of booting. It'll tell you which key to press to change setup or whatever.

Mint is trash, go with Ubuntu.

You also have to change a UEFI setting or two on modern hardware in order to do a dual boot setup. Forgot which though

old laptop. No money for a new one now. Dell 1555 studio. Mint is kinda light weight. With XFCE. no?

All games are broken and my penis fell off, never use win 10

There's some shit with secure boot and whatever, but it's generally not a problem.

Thank you. I have Mint on a USB ready.

Yes. That'll do just fine.

Thank.s

Yeah but the only reason to use Mint is the Cinnamon desktop environment. Short of that it's reskinned Ubuntu with a goofy update system. I'd go right to Xubuntu honestly but to each their own

I haven't used Mint in years. What's up with how they roll our their updates?

It's hard to explain. All I can say (as someone who runs GNU/Linux exclusively) is that it feels like trying to dance in a body cast at a certain point. Any distro that feels like it's getting in my way I won't use. Besides, sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade isn't that hard of a command to learn

Only reason I'm going with it is because its light weight and i haven old laptop.

>mfw using Microsoft products

What user meant is that you may as well use Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop environment, since that's all that would be lightweight about your Mint install at this point.

I do like it. Latest update is completely useless to me.

Privacy issues don't concern me

*That is to say, Xubuntu.

awesome. thanks.

I get what you're saying, but it's effectively Ubuntu. Debian > Ubuntu > Mint are how updates/patches flow, with Mint adding next to nothing. Cut out the middle man and go right for Ubuntu is what I was suggesting.

Exactly this

OSX masterrace reporting in

thanks guys.

Windows 10 is shit and uses a bad design. Best os only needs no CIA niggers spying you.

What's wrong with the design? I find it really user friendly and quite elegant

W10 - resource hog, security holes masquerading as features, nearly 100% spyware working for MicroSoft, etc. Get if you have an ungodly level expensive CPU and memory while having no computer savvy nor common sense. It might become good in about a decade once an OS that huge has all of its bugs worked out. If you have Windows 10, you are part of THE beta testers, more so than any other Windows program that ever existed to this date. It truly is a work in progress.

Np user

>CIA niggers spying you
Unavoidable on modern hardware. Although by going with MS software you're getting double niggered

Ignore idiots, disable telemetry, use Win 10 enjoy using a superior OS and not being a faggot clinging to outdated garbage.

Nice dubs user

I like it
As far as privacy and terms of agreement go, eh doesn't bother me as much. Due to me being a bland user with little significance in this world, and im not really paranoid.

Windows 10 is spyware garbage. I still use windows 7, I like it and it does it's job.

I have win10 an i3-2100 and 4 gigs of ram. Never had any big issues with lag unless i had 20 trap threads open and some other shit in the background

yup, exactly

it is always bit ridiculous when people are so crazy about that privacy thing, like what are companies going to do, jerk off to user jerking off to hentai porn? While apparently being in his basement for whole year, since GPS tracker didn't move a single inch?

Windows 10 latest FCU update almost bricked my motherboard (Msi X170a Gaming M5).
Decreased FPS in any games.
Nothing new.
The more it goes, the worse it goes.

cool guys, now try using full sentences

>Thoughts on Windows 10 or Windows in general?

The McDonald's of software.

Install windows 10 enterprise 2016 ltsb.
Its the only version worth using.

...

Fixing the dx9 4GB VRAM limit was a seriously chill move. Hate the rest of how Microsoft throatfucks us with shitty ads for normie games and services. I almost switched to what I call GNU plus Linux before I realized I wasn't going to fuck myself in the ass just because Microsoft is shitty.

>Microsoft throatfucks us with shitty ads
wut
I have never seen any ad from microsoft, nothing appeared on my desktop, no notification, no mail, nothing

What's wrong with Linux?

Is it true that Windows 10 doesnt have a paint anymore?

Just wait until they lock it down to just an app store without the ability to run your own software. Not that I care since it keeps normies contained in their sandbox

The problem with Linux is that you still have to load up Windows if you want anything done.

Sorry I'm not into the dirt cheap flat crap. Also the interface is fucking garbage in my eyes. Winjewtsew 7 still has the best interface.

I'm pretty sure it still has Paint.

kek i like how you can't have a normal fuckin conversation on Sup Forums, people hereaccusing and hating every SJW, but they themselves are so sensitive that you can't even say "I don't like what you like" without hearing, as a reply, that your own taste is shit

I feel an upgrade Win10 version feels more safe than a desktop pre-loaded with Win10, despite the same upgrades, feels different, sketchier than the upgrade from Win8.1 or whatever previous version.

Just recently with the new creator's update it set my startbar to show suggested apps. I'd never seen that before, so it either changed my setting or added a new setting and toggled it to yes. Plenty of other ads (and shit like Candy Crush in your default taskbar, trying to get you to use the Windows Store and Cortana so you can spend money in their ecosystem), you'll have no problem finding plenty of stories. If you know what you're doing you can turn them off, but it's surprising how many hidden settings there are within so many different programs, and it's clearly designed to be a little annoying to turn off. But hey, it was "free" so let's pretend it's okay.

I don't have enough time getting things to run just as well as they would with Windows.

apparently I'm some superuser, because I had no problem turning them off. Nothing ever appeared in my taskbar, and of course that Microsoft is trying to get you to use their store and their voice assistant, literally every company tries to make you use their software.
Update was free indeed, but windows itself isn't, so your last sentence doesn't make much sense

i'm not saying your opinion as shit, I just never encountered your problems and even if I did, I fixed all of them in several seconds. And it's not like there was much of such problems to fix, pretty much just suggested apps and all those game apps to uninstall

oh, and recently I had to remove contacts button from the taskbar

Windows 10 home version was given out for free for about a year. Whole OS is riddled with bullshit from an OS. It's basically a mobile device when desktops used to be private and not constantly shilling/spying on you.

>if I did, I fixed all of them in several seconds.

Same here, I saw and fixed problems quickly, not a lingering issue but there shouldn't have been an issue at all. Try using both hands to explain when Windows users accepted constant ads across their OS instead typing at half-speed because you're using one hand to pleasure yourself to the idea of Steve Ballmer fucking your girlfriend bareback and having her go ass-to-mouth on his sweaty, flab-covered choad,

I miss windows before they put in the bs touchscreen interface

>Windows 10 home version was given out for free for about a year.
Aren't you talking about Windows 10 being free, but as an update from windows 8? I find it hard to believe that you could literally download Windows 10 for free, just like that

I honestly never encountered any more bullshit from microsoft that I encounter from every other company. I am not saying it is cool thing, but you sound like that would be something that only Microsoft is doing. Unless you are talking about Linux, I only tested it for a moment, out of curiousity, so I don't know much about it. I guess that they have none ads at all, nevertheless, it wasn't really user friendly to me (yeah, probably because I've been using Windows my whole life)

Your last sentence was interesting, kinda funny and very picturesque, and that's pretty much all I can say about it

install linux
check out antergos for example its free and pretty good
and much faster and wont steal your soul

I prefer Windows Auschwitz Edition Over Windows 10.

screenshots?

What did you use that wasn't user-friendly?

i see that you also like user Edgy Jokes edition

Already using Gentoo; no meme.

kek gentoo
thats a quite masochistic approach

Apple products were never user friendly to me
>inb4 retard can't use simplistic apple products
I used iphone, ipad and mac. What I couldn't understand the most was that one mouse button, I guess that's how my mom felt when I was teaching her how to use powerpoint

if you are asking about linux, then I can't tell you any specifics, I only tested it for a short while, don't really remember what specifically bugged me

Its free because you give up privacy at a price.
W10 is heavily monitored. What you click were u go. How long u watch etc.
Watch Barnacle on win10 privacy issued
Www //youtu.be/u1kGMCfb2xw

wait until 2020 when win7 ends and see what MS does. maybe they will make new os without the spying shit

...

Eh, not as much as one might think. There's not as much documentation as one would probably like, but most of it is covered somewhere on its Wiki. Plus it has so many tools (and tool groups) like gentoolkit to do a lot of the shit for you.

Apple is generally "user-friendly" for people that never used computers before. I ran into the same issues in my graphic design courses as you since my instructor insisted on using Macs for every system in the lab.

We argued constantly.

i could not manage to install a wifi printer and even nvidia
dumped it
maybe i'm too dumb but i usually get along with linux at ease
emerging bullshit gentoo is imo

>emerging bullshit gentoo is imo
What?
Also, could be. I've never had to experience the displeasure of Nvidia + Linux.

Hello, normie welcome to the Internet or more specifically 4chin. I'll be your guide today. Make sure to not get your feelings hurt.

Windows 10 is good I guess, but I'd much rather prefer Window 7's classic look than the modern and sleek design Windows 10 has.

please don't post again, you are cancerous retard that can't read

>second life
lel forgot all about that game. i remember when i inadvertently crashed their servers globally for a few days, good times. ive never been so throughly banned from anything in my life, they banned my hardware ids
