I use a pirated version of 7, I don't even get those stupid fucking updates. In 10 or so years when 7 isn't supported any more I'll probably not give a shit about video games any more and completely move over to Linux.

Find out what information they are taking illegally, document it, then prosecute them in courts while making it all very public.

That's how you fight parasites

There have been NSA backdoors all the way back to XP. This is no new news.

>turn off windows updates on every system I build and never ever update except for .net framework

>never enjoy the myriad of problems that retards get because they update their systems

If this is relevant to you, you deserve every moment of annoyance this will cause you because you're fucking stupid.

I have a GNU/Linux server buried deep below a mangrove with a pit of crocodile nests, with an encrypted repeater comms array to my house.

Good luck getting me to use Windows globalist black helicopter guys.

>using Windows at all

>having zero fucking principles

You're stupid.

Will Linux finally triumph over windows because of this.

>>4874048

Technically, Linux already has, since Linux is just a kernel (the most popular kernel of all time in fact)

You're probably thinking of the GNU OS, which typically uses the Linux kernel, I have GNU/Linux on my PC, lets just say that Linux kernel 4.0 breaks AMDs official drivers, causing a kernel panic, I had to wait for package maintainers for my distro just to push a patch for it so I can boot my machine up, AMD took months to respond to this as well. This was all on Ubuntu, the update broke some of my programs as well like Lightworks

GNU/Linux is still far from perfect, which is why I'm still using Windows on my other machines, maybe I'd have better luck with Intel, who does in fact make their official drivers open source

I think it was Friday when my mom called and said that windows 10 was upgrading. She said it "forced her."

Did my mom just get OS raped?

>>4874023

Stop shitposting, whether we like it or not windows has the most app compatibility by far and for the time being there isn't a legitimately viable alternative.

Is using windows 10 stupid? Sure is, but using a pirated version of 7 is far from the worst thing you can do, especially if you're smart about it and specifically avoid updates that revert the crack.

>>4874074

I think it's >>>/tech/w7tele

>>4873978

No, the XP backdoors were originally zero-days that NSA kept mum about and didn't notify Microsoft. Nowadays, Microsoft literally programs in the backdoors for the NSA.

OP here,

I haven't updated in long ass time so never got the telemetry stuff for my win7 ultimate I use. I just do it for the main purpose of Microsoft pushing their skynet OS on people who have opted out of that because of the built in forced updating along with telemetry.

>>4874086

Reinstall the win7 and don't let it reinstall win10 also do what >>4874080 linked to get rid of the telemetry.

No, I was fucking wrong, fucking NSAKEY what the fuck

>>4874150

update some security features, just check the spyware and botnet updates and do not update those

I pirated windows 7, have turned off automatic updates and since this whole bullshit has started I look at my update history weekly to see if there hasn't been installed anything without my permission anyway. I don't really have anything to worry about at the moment.

>>4874037

Hello shill.

>>4874159

Except it doesn't and there's no evidence it does?

Please tell me , oh great tech wizard, how Microsoft would even be able to tell with any certainty what applications are pirated and which are not?

Not here to defend Windows 10 or anything, but this runaway FUD has gotten to retard levels

>>4874141

I'd be suggesting Mint over Ubuntu. Mint is fine for a first time linux user, even if the hand-holding can feel patronizing at times. I never had it fuck up on me, it's well made.

>>4874193

ubuntu has fucked me over needed some work to get it working, so whatever wroks for you, open source shit can hardly spy on you

Has anyone noticed that globalists have been getting really anxious and are pushing their plans faster and faster in past 20 years?

One way we can fight this bill gates fucker is by trolling.

There must be a fucking high electricity cost for all those servers mantaining.

What we could do is send them packets that start the downloading process and keep on spamming these servers with those packets so nobody else can.

+ spoof the ip so if they try to blacklist they will have to blacklist a lot of innocent peeps

What's going on under your fingers?

Windows 10 performs a collection of texts entered from the keyboard. The texts are stored in temporary files and 1

30 minutes are sent to the following sites:

oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

pre.footprintpredict.com

reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com

Voice port in Windows 10 to promote marketing as a virtual entity "Cortana"

Surely now you guess what it is. Even if you install Windows 10 on an encryption program to communicate with someone after

Internet, thanks to the collection of information from the keyboard (key logging), Microsoft can read what you wrote. Can not seem to

capture what you wrote the other side of encrypted communication, but at least capture one-sided communication

a very serious matter.

The third server is again in charge of Tele-metrics machines, new Windows 10 behave very much like Android, where

Most operations at the operating system includes a telemetry hooks, ie. clues that relate to

some information about the user. If, for example. I will write to the browser Edge any telephone number, up to approx. 5 minutes

gradually send information about the number of these telemetry servers to Microsoft:

vortex.data.microsoft.com

vortex-win.data.microsoft.com

telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com

telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

oca.telemetry.microsoft.com

oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com

sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

Special situation arises, if anywhere in Windows 10 you type the name of a famous American film.

Windows 10 will start by itself after some time to look at your hard drive in a folder with media files and indexing them.

Indexed file is then anonymously sent to these servers about 30 minutes when the computer is idle,

I bought Dragon's Dogma recently. New games though yeah I'm not excited in playing with. Only one I thought about was Xcom 2 but I'm pretty sure I can get that gifted to me and I got tons of free stuff to keep me happy along with this election. So no rush on getting all those games stricken with dlc, equality quotas, and just shoddily made.

>people still fail to realize that anything done on open source is more likely to have backdoors due to the source code being forced as public

>>4874252

Conversation starters of people that arent vapid attention seekers arent usually provocative as your own.

And what I said was completely accurate, people give their opinion and then follow it up with a question to the audience, and thats how conversation begins.

On imageboard giving your comment a nice reaction image, although a refrrshing feature that might add some conversational value to your comment will inevitably be nothing more than eye catcher for people with small attention spans and is used by shills and those that have nothing of value to add to conversation but mere reaction.

All I am saying that you knew you would get flack for posting that apathetic opinion here and instead of just going about your way smirking to yourself and not posting it you come here and desire attention, thats all you are doing.

Now, this conversation is really meta so I wont respond to you anymore and you are filtered.

If you really valued privacy then you would switch to gnu

If noobie/tech illiterate/don't care

switch to linux mint

If intermediate

debian without systemd (or any other distro without systemd)

If experienced

gentoo/slackware/openbsd

If GOD MODE

SBC with Linux/Unix Kernel - WM/DE of choice - write your own drivers/programs in assembly / C

>>4874299

>I've been here since the 1st exodus champ

Then you never fucking learned how to be here.

>>4874289

>due to the source code being forced as public

Circular logic

>>4874299

Well captain, I'm glad you admitted that.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to fix it.

It keylogs everything you type. [read the article, theres more] it knows as much as your ISP [e.g. - you type "piratebay" and then search "microsoft office 2013"

It then confirms this when it searches the hard drive and sends the index to Microsoft.

>I have trouble believing

Some people are average anon.

t."great tech wizard"

>>4874351

Do you check the source code for every open source program you use?

Do you check what changes there is in the code whenever a new version is released?

Probably not, you follow the average "some people would find it if it was bad" and until then, it's by default safe.

>>4874289

Open source code IS audited you know anon

>>4874369

audits can only go so far, this is also true, shellshock is a good example

The code is only as good as its coders at the end of the day

>>4874347

Windows certainly knows much more than my ISP does based on what you let on, otherwise Microsofts spyware would be completely redundant and the privacy-minded would have no reason to avoid Windows when he could simply use a proxy.

Is this is is this not true?

>>4874037

Keep oh shillin'

>>4874394

So you *can* read.

Then I have nothing left to say.

You saw the data, a proxy wouldn't do shit.

Backdoors have existed on programs and OS for a while I'd bet, Win 10 is just more of the same.

Also, if you have a HDD from the past ten years or so, you're already fucked. They all have backdoors, regardless of how much protection and OS magic you use.

>>4874432

Stop it, anon, you are scaring me.

>>4874434

I personally have not seen the data.

I'm merely going off the following concept:

>shit company

>history of not giving a fuck about its customers

>already has known agreement with NSA

>was one of the first to agreement with NSA

>new OS has SHITLOADS of background processes that log info and send back to Microshit

>NO GOYS ITS MERELY DIAGNOSTIC, WHY WOULD WE LIE

Also

>implying MS diagnostics/help has ever worked

>>4874432

If all of the previous windows systems were just as bad then why is MS so focused on forcing everyone to use win10?

>>4874470

>Win 10 is just more of the same

There is more anon.

>>4873967

There have been some nice advances in GPU passthrough. If you are computer literate and have vt-d support, you can run windows at 90% performance in a qemu virtual machine.

>>4873967

Just install Linux.

>>4874504

"More" can mean anything. It can mean that it has a few additional security holes or hundreds of them.

Just how much "more" is there to make them this desperate to get people to upgrade?

That's the main question here.

Because even if win7 is somewhat unsafe when you install it for the first time, we know how to disable MS's telemetry nonsense manually.

We can't do anything about the NSA backdoors, but this is something you'll have to live with if you don't want to install Linux.

The point is that they'd have to break into your computer to forcefully get the data whereas with 10 you are willingly giving it over to them on a silver plate.

>>4874192

Get out of here.

Anons, if you're still on Windows (like myself), just be prepared to install Linux some day.

Removes Windows Spying and blocks the telemetry domains in the host file, plus you can disable Windows Update on it.

>>4873967

It's not like older Windows dindu that already.

>>4874289

Nah. It's more likely they'll be discovered by enterprising hackers however. Which in turn makes it more likely they'll eventually be generally known.

>>4874232

i read a bit of that pdf.

The behaviour of windows 10 when left idle is the same as windows 7. after a few minutes of idle the harddisk starts thrashing and lots of programs appear in the task manager. When I 1st noticed this it freaked me out, and I thought it was spying on me. I did checks at the time, and everything i tested for confirmed it was spying, i.e. uploading all my files to some dump at microsoft.

So I tried to switch to linux - GNU , but my god its a crap OS. I don't see how they could have fucked it up so hard after all these years of refinement. I think there's some microsoft agents in there fucking it up.

These days I've got a SSHD which is silent, I don't hear any disk thrashing when idle. So I'm pretending its not happening. Which is spineless and sad.

Just use Linux. I have a dual boot set up with Windows 8 so I can play some video games. I play video games almost never, so I hardly boot Windows. Steam runs on Linux, and more than a few good games run on Linux now. I haven't booted Windows in months and months.

Or if you don't give a fuck about these back door things, run whatever and shut up. Either run something which solves the problem, or shut the fuck up.

>>4874852

it's an indexing service which is used by windows search. just disable searching altogether since you probably don't use it anyway

>>4874890

>Windows 8

but Windows 7 is better for video games. as a matter of fact, 7 is better than 8 in literally every possible way.

>>4874037

fuck off sholomo, winXP is still better then win7, which is still better than win8 which is still better but everything is than windows10

Just like you have some better and worse linux distros or *BSD versions.

This

>if you cannot use gentoo with hardened toolchain running on an open hardware toaster with libreboot, you can just get windows 10

is just a kike way of putting things

consider an hero

Anyone who isn't retarded just using pirated custom windows 7, and disables everything shady in it.

People who don't play video games and can write shit in command line every time they need to install or launch something - use linux.

People who are getting into prison soon - use Windows 10.

>>4874079

consider alphine or antageros, they are the better option if you don't feel like going for arch which I figured out is your case, since you are going for manjaro

I'm not going to. In a few years we'll probably have a better windows-alternative that is idiot friendly. Why should I suffer through linux?

I have winjews 8. I followed one guide to uninstall the updates that ported in this upgrade prompt. It didn't work. So idk, I tried.

>>4874369

>Do you check the source code for every open source program you use?

>Do you check what changes there is in the code whenever a new version is released?

yeah I do, not everything, but some important things. And other people do the same, developers do that by default. So you have a lot of eyes on the open source code

and open source IS LITERALLY CANCER, use free software, not the same thing

>>4874432

not really, just don't use intel cpu with vPro and encrypt your partions and use libreboot if you can

Haven't some guys find out how to stop all this ( and afterwards uploaded it to jewtube ) ? I remember a rumor going around.

>>4875045

>Why should I suffer through linux?

oh let me guess…

>you are not fucking supporting giant jew company. Yes even pirating their SW is supporting them, because it keeps you locked to their platform

>unless you play recent vidya in which case kek there is no difference between linux distro and windows, it has a browser, filebrowser, email client, toolbar, wallpaper, supports mouse and keyboards, I would like to know what exactly are you doing on your pc that just can't be done on a different platform

>there is not going to be another new alternative to windows, especially with nigger like you, supporting windows

>>4875122

stopping anything in a closed source binary is impossible

>>4875142

ok not really impossible, but really hard, windows 10 usually restards even disabled services, so unless you go hacking and disassembling windows 10 itself, there is not much you can do

>>4875045

Linux Mint isn't idiot-friendly enough?

>>4875064

Dude, wtf? That's a guide for Kali Linux. It's meant for penetration testing, NOT everyday use. Most Linux distros will have an option during setup to install "nonfree" (real) display drivers; no git gud necessary.

>>4875148

I want to become a wizard now. Anyway i can master the power of full linux fast ? Like tutorials and shit like that you know that we have lying around from time to time ?

>>4875064

What's gonna happen is I'll have to look up an internet guide every time I want to do anything.

When enough pushback against microshit happens, new options will bloom. Like for example, modifying minecraft back a few years ago, you had to do all sorts of shit with the .bin file. Then it got popular enough that one-click mod programs were developed. Same will happen here. No one is happy with windows. Every second distribution is complete garbage that even normies hate it, and it's overall on the steep decline. In maybe a year or two we'll see something usable be developed that you don't need a compsci degree to understand.

while fucking with my registry to make some programs work, i fucked up win7 to where i dont qualify for win10. i still get updates, but not win10.

>>4873967

I'm pretty sure this is already happening. I purchased a small laptop tablet to do my writing on, since I'm an author by trade, and I explicitly chose one that had Windows 8 on it, and not 10, since 95% of the new stuff they're pushing now has it come with 10 preinstalled.

About half a month ago, it automatically updated to Windows 10 when I wasn't around. I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to remove it cleanly, and I don't want to lose what Office files I have, since it's got my writing on it, so nuking it isn't really an option either. I don't want to just buckle down and use it, either, since information created and recording using Office on 10 is confirmed to be tracked and recorded. I don't want some basement flunky in SoCal to get free copies of all of my drafts. How do I know I wouldn't write a book, only for some nobody halfway around the world to publish it first? I have no assurance that won't happen, and under 10, it certainly is a thing that can.

I honestly don't know what to do.

>>4875658

Ok serious answer

Get an older laptop, no wifi

>>4875658

You have 30 days to revert back to the older version after W10 is installed, it saves your old system settings in a folder called windows.old just in case there's an issue. Buy a cheap USB thumb drive and backup all you important files before trying anything just to be on the safe side. After 30 days that folder is deleted and you'll have to reinstall from scratch, considering how slow and bloated Windows can get this might not be that bad a thing.

And there is much better software for writing out there than Word, once you get into pure text editors you'll wonder how you ever dealt with crap like word processors designed for office use. I'm pretty sure Word saves everything 'to the cloud' as a feature, so even on W8 you'll have assurance that your work isn't being uploaded to a server somewhere.

>>4875881

What are you having problems with on linux that you absolutely have to use windows for?

I've got the fucking unity gaming platform running on my box m8.

Libre-office will open ALL windows documents regardless of how old or how new; even MS Office itself doesn't have as much compatibility with their own fucking software.

If you're too much of an autist to figure out how to use linux, then install Ubuntu like niggers in Somalia do.

If you are still using Windows 7, it's not enough to disable automatic updates. Go into Services and disable both the Windows Update and Background Intelligent Transfer services.

these are package manager specific commands by the way. Different distros use different package managers. The ones listed here are for Apt-get, which is used on *buntu systems, Linux Mint, and some other less popular distros. The same commands in say, Arch Linux (which uses Pacman) would be different.

>>writing anything in assembly in the current year

>and then you wonder why people don't take you seriously

You wonder why no one values your pleb NEET-tier knowledge of programming optimization…

There are litearlly 3 stages of optimizations in modern programming:

If underperformance encountered:

1st - rewrite module in C; if not fast enough:

2nd - rewrite module in Fortran; if not fast enough:

3rd - rewrite module in assembler.

The shittier the hardware (read: embedded) the higher the likelihood of ending up utilizing the 3rd stage.

>>4875960

I've never really had problems with distros being too demanding on my shit laptops. I've had more problems with straight-up hardware incompatibility though, which is something worth mentioning on Linux: it has kind of awful hardware support. I mean, it'll at least run on just about anything, but there's a lot of hardware where most distros get screwy. This especially applies to laptops, which don't have the same normal cut-and-dry hardware a prebuilt/self-built computer will have.

It's always a good idea to check the Archwiki for info on you're specific laptop, even if you aren't installing Arch. They'll have good info about specific issues with your laptop.

>>4875872

>Never used OpenBSD, is it similar to Linux/Unix OS or something else?

Its a very traditionalist OS. They are big on doing things the "correct way" or the "unix way". If you learned it in 2001 then you could sit down in front of a 2016 version and know how to get shit done. In 10 years you could expect everything to look mostly the same.

I have to maintain systems as old as 4.9 and its nice to not have to relearn shit when I have to fix something after a few years.

It can be riced out like any other BSD/Linux. It can run modern GNU stuff and browsers.

It WILL NOT support hardware that wont release specs. If your hardware vendor will only release closed source drivers they will go with out it. They don't sacrifice security for connivance.

These are the same guys who maintain OpenSSH. They forked and made a non-shit version of openssl called LibreSSL. They know crypto.

http://www.openbsd.org/security.html

If your looking for a point and click idiot proof OS then OpenBSD is not for you. Linux Mint might be more to your liking.

If you want to have an understanding of whats really going on under the hood then OBSD is great. Its so simple and logically laid out you can really get a handle on what is going on. On my main system my 'ps -ax' shows less then 25 processes. Everything is clearly named.

>>4876309

>Mint needs ~30 GB, right?

Hardly. I'll test Mint with xfce today on VM before pushing it on my laptop.

The size varies somewhat with how much swap you want to dedicate, but if it's old laptop it shouldn't be more than few GIGS for swap and few for Mint itself.

>>4874068

Android demonstrates that it's not the fault of GNU/Linux that you have driver issues. You buy hardware from vendors who withhold their driver code from your OS maintainers.

I always wanted to learn loonix, but I frankly dont even know where to start.

What would be a good linux distro for a complete newfag to freedoms? Actually, I did fiddle a bit with ubuntu, now that I remember. I installed it on an old-ass laptop just to use it as a terminal to do online banking. Ubuntu itself was more or less simple enough to use without prior knowledge, but is it safe?

>>4876512

Use Linux Mint or Debian.

>>4876512

If you don't trust Ubuntu, you can get Linux Mint Debian Edition.

>>4876512

>but is it safe?

Well according to /tech/, anything that uses proprietary software and systemd is potential botnet. Ubuntu fits in that category.

However, anything that by default doesn't is advanced material in itself.

Mint is probably your best choice at this moment because it doesn't deal with systemd boogeyman yet. If you would like to give it a try, download it (my recommendation is xfce desktop environemnt) and run in virtualbox. This will take you a few hours until you get it all set up if you know literally nothing. If you get stuck, as here or on >>>/tech/

is there any way to play windows games on linux without having fucked compatibility?

>>4876550

Thanks, I will give it a try.

>>4876564

Its not that I dont trust it. I just dont know much about linux whatsoever. But I wanted to learn how to use it, as future proprietary OSs seem to be going down a dark path.

Any good resources to learn more about linux?

>>4876512

>but is it safe?

Its much SAFER then MS Windows.

Its a good start and will get you on the path of being not a newfag.

Linux Mint is a better, cleaner, more popular version of Ubuntu. If you can figure out how to use a mouse then you can figure it out. Its as easy to use as Windows 7. Their built in software tool makes finding and adding applications as simple as adding "apps" on an iPhone/Droid.

>>4876512

Well first start slow with console commands and preferably some distro with graphical interface. It's really the same as windows at this point. Now you will see various "rights". What are rights? They decide whether you, others or certain group has the privilege to read, edit or run a file. Administrator can take and give rights, through console preferably.

Then you have to download many linux alternatives to programs. Largely this is not a problem if you already delved into internet security before, because programs of this category are usually for both windows and linux. Wine is good for emulating windows games and programs. However, not everything works on it, though it does not mean that majority (if not all) programs won't work for you.

From what I recall ubuntu is fucked in some regards, though. It comes pre-configured and I saw first hand how it messed up some settings visually. Gnumeric, for example, was quite funky with ubuntu.

Other than that go look for guides when you encounter problems, because everything about linux is generally well documented. Not much is required from IT department to learn linux.

>>4876587

Would a laptop that runs lubuntu be able to run it? Its a very old laptop. Single core and all.

>>4876622

>Would a laptop that runs lubuntu be able to run it? Its a very old laptop. Single core and all.

I don't know what your laptop is so I couldn't tell you.

System requirements:

512MB RAM (1GB recommended for a comfortable usage).

9GB of disk space (20GB recommended).

Graphics card capable of 800×600 resolution (1024×768 recommended).

DVD drive or USB port.

for windows 10, can't you just block all inbound and outbound traffic except for what you specify?

i mean, microsoft wouldn't use, for example, port 80 to transfer your information, right? or whatever p2p port you specify? plus you could find which ips they use and block those specifically.

i just want to make sure i have an os that will have good software compatibility. i already have a dual-boot with ubuntu but i haven't used it in a year and a half.

i need to play my games, man. i can't give up that avenue of escapism. not until i buy some land and start a homestead and get away from this fucked up world.

>>4876578

wine if your game has good support, check https://www.winehq.org/

and use PlayOnLinux it's basically a wrapper around wine that makes it's use easier

or dual boot if you have SSD the reboot takes few seconds

or setup GPU passthrough for a virtual windows machine you need a discreete GPU and a lot of patience

The older the game, the better it works with wine to the point where old windows games work better over wine than on newer windows

and don't forget the emulators, there are free ps1/2 gameboy emulator for linux, check them

>>4874037

Fuck off shill.

I used Windows 10 for a day to see how bad it was firsthand.

Wouldn't let me open any of my pirated shit it was weird as fuck.

>>4876622

>Would a laptop that runs lubuntu be able to run it? Its a very old laptop. Single core and all.

lubuntu is ubuntu with LXQT as it's installed desktop environment. So if you install mint with LXQT it will run just like lubuntu maybye even better, since caconical likes to reinvent wheels and fuck up

>>4876992

not even kidding, your best option is gentoo if you get over the installation part, which would take like one full weekend on that hardware. The older the hw, the more it benefits from source based distros

t. Using gentoo on 1.2 Ghz single core netbook

but if you are not a masochist try some of the minimal distros >>4875028 and use xfce/lxqt/openbox

also use arch linux wiki pages, arch sucks, but their wiki is goodlike for any distro

>>4877043

>or setup GPU passthrough for a virtual windows machine

i'm particularly interested in this. i figure the best way is to use virtualization for anything wine doesn't support and dual-boot for anything left over.

but obviously the less inconvenient, the better. so i want to have the greatest compatibility with games as possible within a linux environment. i've never heard of even being able to set up any kind of gpu passthrough for a virtual machine. does that increase compatibility, or just performance?

>>4873967

>Well Microsoft wants to spy on you so you are getting windows 10 like it or not.

You know jewsoft pushed win10 spying software into 7 and 8 via updates, right? And you know that NSAkey has been a thing since Win98, right? You're basically getting jewed no matter what if you're using windows; the only thing version determines is to what extent.

No, there's no viable privacy-respecting windows clone anywhere in the near future. ReactOS is the only project that's trying to accomplish such a thing; it's been in development for ten years and receiving support from the Russian government and it's still in alpha.

>no good video editing software outside of Windows OS

Only thing that's preventing me from leaving.

>>4877065

And "cancer" in this context means anything you or /v/ don't like?

>>4877068

be aware that gentoo is a /tech/ meme, but it does offer very real benefits if you get over it. Just remember that if you fail to install gentoo, that does not mean all the other linux distros are as bad to use

>>4877116

Performance is practically identical and compatibility is 100%.

The problem is you'll need newer hardware that supports this feature and it's a pain in the ass to set up. If you're really interested in this topic the arch forums are the best place to read up on this. That's the biggest group of Linux users that use VMs to play games. 9/10 you're better off using Wine if you want to play games that are compatible with it, a few clicks to install the program in PlayOnLinux and it'll run fine.

Oh and I remembered there's this short guide to help you get started

>>4877228

Mint, any day, especially if you're comming from windowse

>>4877116

both.

You have a linux host that is running on your hw and is only using integrated GPU or none at all

Than you have a virtual computer that runs Windows, to which you passthrough if your motherboard and cpu supports it, it is called VT-d (Intel) or IOMMU (AMD) your discreete GPU.

So you have full windows compatibility and almost full like 95% GPU performance

here are some tutorials on how to do that

This series looks at the 3 best video editors for Linux and compares them. Personally I use Kdenlive as Blender is too much for me to handle, I'm not familiar enough with their user interface to use it for anything but short small CGI scenes.

And this talk about Ubuntu spying is overblown as with one command line you can remove all of it. I was going to link to an article that explains how to do it but it seems that they've removed this already from newer versions.

>>4877264

What's the deal with lwks, is it proprietary? Is the free version limited?

>>4873967

Good thing I removed the GWX update and turned off all updates.

The only way updates get turned back on is if you install another microsoft product which switches it back on during install (like office), or an update somehow has a timer inside of it to automatically turn it back on after a set period of time.

I have experience with the former, but thus far nothing with the latter.

I installed ubuntu on my mom's computer and she literally didn't know the difference. All she does is open up firefox and go on youtube, anyway.

If they do anything more complicated than that it becomes a problem.

My parents still use Office 2000 to type stuff and simply refuse to even try to use Libre/OpenOffice, for instance, because it's not 100% identical. Also the generic print drivers, and so forth.

Although TekSyndicate has a lot of bluepill tier commentary most of the time I really like Wendell so here's a good video for non /g/entoo men

I installed Gentoo (in a VM) with only a couple months of Linux experience (plus some lifetime terminal and programming experience). I'd tried Arch first, so I knew what a minimal install needed, but the Gentoo handbook walks you through it just as well.

The first time, I was scared off by the hundreds of kernel settings and USE flags plus a VM problem that I mistook for a broken install. Since every change I tried took a while to compile, I got discouraged and moved on with my distro shopping. But in reality I'd done it right, and when I tried again later everything went well. It became my full time OS shortly after.

And really, you can use genkernel and default desktop USE flags and have a decent system. Once you understand it all better you can try improving it or switching to hardened. Just keep full system backups.

The existence of SteamOS has improved the selection of games for Linux. It's still no Windows, but it's better than it was. If people would take a leap of faith and start supporting it, many of the Windows/Mac-only games would come!

>>4879852

Are you me?

I used to watch a lot of TekSyndicate but ended up unsubscribing because their blue pill tier garbage was getting on my nerves.

I like Wendell's videos too, so I do stay subscribed to their TekLinux channel which is almost exclusively Wendell giving some really good info without any good goy virtue signalling.

Can't stand the others. Logan is irritating as fuck, Pistol looks like she has daddy issues and cuts.

>>4880518

Holy shit that's exactly how I feel. Logan, most of the time (I've seen otherwise on very rare occasions) is bluepilled as fuck, it's cringe worthy most of the time. Pistol definitely seems like one of the "scene" girls I grew up with.

The only guy I'm not 100% sure about is that Quain (Kane?) however the fuck you spell it. He can be redpilled at times (VERY rarely).

Honestly I've kept the subscription to them purely because of Wendell because I really do like him and his purely pragmatic approach to things. I'd highly recommend the "Tek Linux" channel they have though because it's just Wendell doing esoteric linux things.

WTF man? Why do I keep seeing people recommend Alpine to newbs?

It's not even ever going to be appropriate for most desktop/laptop/workstation users because it uses Musl libc, meaning that all sorts of software (in particular things related to games and media) is difficult to impossible to be compiled, and will never be in the repos.

It's useful as a basic workstation, and great as a server.

Basically, if people don't like linux because the selection of software, they're going to HATE Alpine because it has even less software. Also proprietary video drivers, nvidia etc, will not work on it

Antergos, fine. Another option would be Void (the non-musl version)

>>4881097

And even then I'd honestly recommend something really mainstream like Ubuntu over Arch/antergos/void. There's no reason to make people learn everything up front, at least until their ready

also architect linux is good for newbs to experiment with, its a simpler arch linux install image

Shut up, it's a data mining program disguised as an operating system. Why do you think Microsoft gave it away for free? Nothing is free. Stop defending Windows 10

Understanding Windows 10 Upgrade System Settings

http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2016/01/understanding-windows-10-upgrade-system.html

video version:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMaeAR8rz2M

This discusses some of the well-known registry values related to the Windows 10 operating system upgrade process, and shows how some of these settings are overwritten automatically by some background Windows tasks. It also shows how GWX Control Panel can alert you when settings like this change, and remove the files and tasks responsible for the unwanted changes.

A friend of mine tried to install Windows 10 from Windows 7 and it crashed his computer for some reason and he lost a lot of data. I hope that shit happens to a big law firm and they sue Microsoft for 1 Billion dollars.

>>4882070

I'm starting to think the future is steganography. I wonder if the NSA would notice an encrypted message encoded in a JPEG. An encrypted email could be suspicious, but a picture of your cats? What's suspicious about that?

But if it's an automatic update and Windows 10 is installed automatically without your explicit approval with the by clicking here you confirm that you have read the TOS and agree then that must change a few things. Microsoft may call it an 'upgrade' all they want it's still a new operating system different than Windows 7 or 8.

First thing MS did wrong was they totally blew it on their mobile OS. They saw how important mobile was going to be but they totally blew both the design and implementation of their mobile OS.

The second thing they fucked up was their response to their mobile disaster. Instead of just fixing the broken mess they made, they decided they would graft their horrible mobile interface on top of their desktop OS(windows 8). Functionally they shot themselves in both feet. They thought they could leverage their desktop dominance to force their mobile interface onto the market. Instead they just lost more customers to apple/linux/google.

The next cluster fuck Microsoft stumbled into was deciding to basically go full malware. Since no one wanted to actual pay for the mess they made, they decided they would make windows "free" and just turn it into a giant malware platform in order to harvest every drop of data they could mine and sell to marketers. Now they are in full tard mode trying to force every last win7 install to upgrade to WinJew.

Win7 is still a perfectly fine OS. If you want to get rid of the windows 10 nag shit, it's all located in c:\windows\system32\gwx

They did some weird shit with the permissions on that folder, you will have to go into the advanced properties and take ownership of the folder. Once you have access to modify the folder, I just changed the name of it on my system. I then went into the task scheduler and removed all tasks that were running shit from that gwx folder.

Literally, my 75-year-old mother uses Linux. (I installed it but she uses it no problem.)

Windows fags you can start feeling sorry for yourself now!

>>4874048

no. Normalfags and people who can't use computers can't comprehend it. People such as myself.

>>4883021

Left a couple of things off. Once you have killed that gwx folder you have to go in and turn off your automatic updates. MS is jewing people hard with updates to get rid of Win7. If you already got jewed, there is a 30 day period where you can still roll it back. You can find steps to roll it back here:

>Literally, my 75-year-old mother uses Linux.

Because we only use firefox for shitposting, or notepad. Nope! Shes full on power user who needs frutyloops, Sony Vegas, Photoshop, ect. And with the help of those almost never working software centers, I'm sure she can install all this shit right quick fast and in a hurry too huh.

>Sudo apt get whateveryouneed install

Oh, not in repository? I'm sure she knows how to add one too, or ware else to look to get it right? Yes anon, grand wizard right there she is indeed.

I am sooooo sorry for my self now.

Why not take the stance of NSA shills like any logical lintard does, sense its really the only point they have.

>Sudo aptget anything install is so much easier then download/double click.

Failed.

Linux is the best bet.

If you play vidya, just stick to retro things that'll work on linux and you'll be go to go.

>>4883105

Steam is helping with gaming on linux. Wine is also badass for running games on linux. When I was playing WoW I played the majority of my time on linux.

>>4883105

Most of the good games being released these days have native linux support, the only thing you miss out on are pleb shit like CoD or BF.

>>4876082

I hate Win 10 more than any of you but to be fair that was an insider build with all those telemetric features on 200% and it was plainly stated that way. Even still it prob isn't much different than release.

They are already monitoring for this. The DOD did some research on this in the case that terrorists were sharing information in jpg's. Surprise, they found a bunch of shit that was being shared via p2p. Kiddy porn encrypted files etc all embedded in other files.

So I take it your not aware that it's not a true OS your using, it's designed to require an online connection to their server where the backbone of the OS is. It's inbuilt to the Win10 OS, and the plan is obvious charging you monthly shekels for a service goyim. If you don't want a subscription fee forced on you then dump that piece of crap and go for a different Windows.

That's a 2D version of a screensaver that generates random pipes… the 3D version being a freebie in versions of Windows from over 20 years ago.
