For real man. How do you fuck up so hard as to get a forced Win10 update if you use /tech/.
Shit, all you need to do is remove or not download 3 updates. There is almost no way to be forced into it after that. I mean yeah you'll be spied on and you should remove all bad updates but jesus fucking christ.
You have to be a literal retard to mess it up. Really.

I hate Cinnamon. It's too heavy and boring. Try out XFCE. You can have more than one DE at once if you didn't know.
Either way glad to see people saying fuck you to windows 10. I hope businesses get fucked by the WIN10 bonnet and that the game market is cornered and it all comes crashing down. We warned them not to put all their eggs in one basket but they didn't listen.

Xfce development is in a fucking coma and will likely still GTK2 till the HURD is production ready. Better to go with LXQt or Plasma 5

Yeah, Xfce is better than Cinnamon, since you can still configure it to have that Windows feel for new users, but with less RAM usage. MATE is even better in terms of RAM usage, but IMO not as customizable and comfy.

Qt is fucking ugly. But Plasma 5 is good for a new user who is used to Windows, but terribly heavy. It was really buggy when I used it, but I've heard it's gotten a lot better.

Second but not for bloat reasons but for stability. Shit crashed on me all the time before I moved to XFCE, and that was good until I got comfortable with i3.

There's nothing wrong with LXQt (or MATE) but XFCE is still a solid choice for the time being.

Mate has more GUI polish, but it has annoying bugs. From outside, I get a feeling that Mate is a bit hacked together whereas xfce devs are trying to write stuff correctly.
Though I didn't look at the code, so I might be completely wrong.

If you install MATE the first thing you need to do is replace Caja with literally any other file manager. Dolphin and Nemo are good, but Caja is fucking terrible.

Last week, apparently M$ made another hidden push for Windows 10. People who had already disabled tons of Windows 10 shit ended up 'accidentally' getting it. I noticed too on a few computers I administer that even after doing all the shit to get rid of Wangblows 10, it had recently redownloaded itself in the past month.
In short, just Micro$oft being kikes. Some virgins at Microshit were probably offered blowjobs if they manged to hit the 1 billion devices on Wangblows 10 early.

Mate is shit. Its just old gnome2x at the core.
Cinnamon is basically gnome3x done right.

It seems to me 2004 had better standards, design philosophy, and customizability. I'll live in the past. Cinnamon's future of "let's be just like modern Windows" can fuck right off.
