The Windows OS Thread - Formerly THE OS for gamers and normies, now sadly ruined by Pajeets

Yeah because no .exe installer file has EVER used CMake.

The issue is, most installers don't compile because that would just be a waste of our time. You're less likely to compile programs under Windows actually because you're not having to target multiple fucking distros.

I'm curious as to what installers do compile their programs if you know of any?

The Pulverizer said:
My distro uses its own fork of the Linux kernel, fag. Even if a program is made by a troon, a chud can still fork it. Can you fork Microsoft's pajeetware and remove all the shit?

You use the Enterprise version of Windows and disable the tranny shit.

I'm getting red flags from Massgrave. I did my due diligence. Everyone says their shit works. I'm not doubting that. I'm concerned about security. I can't shake the feeling that something's amiss. Reddit hasn't been much help. All they do is shill for Massgrave like the turdworlders they are.

Let's not forget the elephant in the room - the name. "Massgrave". Yeah, I'm sure that's nothing to worry about.

Why the fuck are you using the home edition? And besides, the people who bitch about this are not the people who are going to be paying for Windows and are fine with using things like KMS AIO, so again, why the fuck are you using home edition?

I bought a "box" copy of Windows 8.1 many years ago at official price (around $200), which got upgraded all the way to 11. I like all improvements under the hood, but I am not going to reward pajeets for fucking up UI in the name of tablets and trying to appeal Mactards (and failing). Give me back my beloved Vista era control panel.
And to answer why would someone disable updates? For me it's not about disabling them permanently, just delaying so I can install them when convenient and make sure that nothing got fucked up.
I am no longer using WIndows on bare metal, just in VM for specialized tools. Unless it's at work, sorry. I prefer Arch although it comes with its own issues. I don't touch flatpak, give me a PKGBUILD or I will make it myself. Remember when Microsoft removed gpedit.msc from lower tiers of Windows 10? I do, and it pissed me off.

Meh, KMS activation is fine, You can look at the scripts and see what they do yourself. Just download official ISO and off you go. It's using Microsoft's mechanism to activate locally. Ever wondered how someone could activate thousands of PCs without leaving company NAT?

Depends on how bad your luck is. I love how Windows 10 insisted on installing broken audio drivers on my T430.

Only one page of sperging from my post. I will have to do better next time.

Edit.

Well, modern WIndows has ads and sells my data. Why pay if I'm the product? But people downloading shady isos are retards.

Company deployed computers are linked to a central server that the company can use to push software and changes to the device you're using. The only thing the hack does differently is that the server is somewhere in Russia and run by people you don't know.

Yes. By trustworthy people.

FACT: Ubuntu (a SYSTEMD infected Linux distribution) did universal ads a long time before Microsoft did.

Windows has been actively advertising shit to its users since win10 or even 8 IIRC, which is around 10 years. Ubuntu is probably the most pozzed and compromised distro outside of the Red Hat sphere and this Ubuntu Pro shit has been going on for a few years at most depending on the version you're running.

People with billions of dollars at stake in security rely on RHEL and its derivates. Nobody's running mission-critical databases on Gentoo or Nix or whatever is considered the "pure" Linux these days.

Oh, so for roughly how long have you thought that Windows .exe installers call CMake?

I thought you meant "compromised" in a security sense, not in a "puts a pride flag on my desktop" sense.

Windows is objectively the best platform for developing Linux software. That's why I switched to it.

So you've thought this for a long time. Do you think Windows installers call a system compiler, or do you think they come bundled with a compiler?

I've purchased two licenses directly, a Windows 11 license a couple years ago and a Windows XP license around 2002 or so.
 
The Pulverizer said:
So you're not even using like a modded installation of Windows? I'd be jealous of Linux chads too if I had blown hundreds of bucks of pajeetware that breaks down every 3 seconds.

Did you know that Microsoft is now using javascript for their fucking menus? Enjoy your license, saar.

You going to answer my question about which compiler you think Windows installers use, or are you still trying to Google the answer? Or maybe you're using Bing, idk.

I don't know what shitty installers you use. I usually don't wait for Windows to take 30 hours to compile a 2 gigabyte file.

What do you think of Microsoft using javascript in their menus?
