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

[Baraka Obama]

Do you pull the full DVD installer of Debian when you want to install Debian?

I mean I do, yeah. I also like to burn them to real DVDs.

But when Microsoft does it then it's a big fuss.

You know the real reason why people complain about one and not the other. Each Linux release is an irrelevant stepping stone, to be abandoned in 6 months or maybe a few years at most for LTS type releases. People actually care about each specific Windows release and want them to work for a very long time.

>just pay $60 extra for the pro edition so you can work around being forced to make an account
>just pirate it, its ez just run a powershell script!
you absolute fucking bumbling gorilla nigger buffoon, what you dont realize is that this move is done to buttfuck the 99.9% of bfus who use winblows because in their mind thats what a computer has to have in order to be a computer. these people dont know what a powershell is and they probably think that working around the activation system will have the feds on their tail immediately to jail them for compooter hacking. microsoft doesnt give a shit that youre some kind of smartass power user faggot and you can work around it. that doesnt excuse what theyre doing in any way and if you think it does youre a fucking idiot

Windows users love getting advertised to so much that they will pay $200 for a pro key and use a terminal window for a local account just for the privilege.

When pic related manifests itself on their screen for no good reason and they see “Rapper Lil Bootyhoe thinks Donald Trump should be impeached” they coom a little despite it being the fourth time it happened that day.

“Just pirate it” is great advice to give to users who have never owned a desktop computer.

Question dear friends,

I personally use Linux but my wife uses Windows for her games but despises W11.
What would be the best option, Enterprise/LTS 10 or some modded 11 i.e Tiny11. If there's something else, let me know.

Thanks

 

[zzzten]

the only thing linux is good for is going to your windows drive and deleting all the shit windows stops you from deleting.

“Just pirate it” is great advice to give to users who have never owned a desktop computer.

Yet somehow Linuxfags think that people will just know how to switch to Linux when you need the same baseline level of know-how to do both. This is something that absolutely no one seems to mention and just assumes that knowing how to install an OS or run the command line is common knowledge. I assume that whoever is going to bother already has enough knowledge and willpower to both install Windows/Linux from scratch and know how to navigate Windows' OOBE if they know how to bring up the command prompt within it. And if those people know that much then they'll know how to pirate Windows.

Here's the thing that makes your bickering moot: these recent changes only apply to Home versions of Windows, and only apply to those esoteric bypasses, and the people you're talking about just used their Microsoft account since they had no other option and didn't knew better. They won't pirate Windows, they won't install Linux. They'll just use whatever came with their Walmart laptop and put up with whatever, including that Weather widget that's very easy to turn off for good in a way that Microsoft graciously gives you, but since 99% of users are complete nigger cattle they don't even know that there are options, so people like you keep reposting it acting like you have no other choice but to look at it all the time.

Think it's best to go with 11 IoT LTSC 2024. It's 24H2 but set up to be as minimal as possible and has 10 years of security updates, should be good enough as a clean base.

As for all the UI annoyances:
-WinUtil and CrapFixer to do some extra touch-ups and tweak some annoyances
-Open-Shell for sane start menu
-RetroBar for a no-frills, pre-7 classic taskbar
-For File Explorer, choose your poison. I use Total Commander but file managers like this are kinda like vim, you need to learn the keyboard shortcuts for it to truly show it's potential.

 

[DickMain]

Still on an old, cracked 10 license a group of friends passed around years ago. Works just fine. I don't even notice the watermark anymore.

 

[Paul Revere Pantry Raider]

I literally activated a new 24Hwhatever fresh from Dell yesterday with 11 Home, and localonly worked just fine.

 

[The Ugly One]

Hell, if your employer is going to be selling old business hardware for cheap because of 11's arbitrary restrictions, consider yourself lucky! Grab a nice laptop to tinker with!

Pick one

A full ISO is perfectly usable on a non-Internet connected device.

If your only goal with Linux is to show your mom that you got Linux installed on your old Core 2 Duo, sure. Linux isn't really usable as anything but a demo box if you can't install new packages.

You don't exercise the choice that Linux gives you because you don't actually care about being able to install your OS offline.

Everyone whining probably sold their souls to Google to use an Android phone anyway.

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

At this point you might as well just make up blatant lies about Microsoft and Windows and people will gladly eat it up.

Whatever gets people to leave this shitty OS behind

 

[The Noticer]

Simply uninstall the windows

 

[Professional Noticer]

Windows 10 chads win again

Same, still using Windows 10.
It just asks you if you want to "free update! WOW" every couple of months and you just go like:

Nice try Microcucks, not falling for your pajeet infested update.

 

[los federales]

Typical windows user is a niggercattle, and microsoft knows it.

I would go back to XP if it could handle newer applications, I still have a disk somewhere.

What point do you think you are making here?

why does slav power keep defending kikecrosoft? did he get a job with them or something?

 

[Tremolo]

The niggercattle one-upmanship in this thread is getting ridiculous, just talk about powertoys or something other than OSwar faggotry please

jeetsoft hasn't announced any retarded shit for now.
but now you get why i mentioned linuxfags.

 

[Betonhaus]

eh, I'm installing windows 10 IoT on my main computer for a while. I'm fine with Mint, but I consider it healthy to commit to trying a different OS for a couple weeks or so once in a while so I don't end up being one those losers stuck on a ritualistic setup because I lost the ability to learn new software. Plus if I find it does some things better I'll switch pernamently until the next time I do a trial.

 

[Enne]

This is the current state of Windows, people don't care to verify anything and overblow any negative news to cosmic proportions to the point they'll believe in lies as well.

Do you ever think about why people don't care about the specifics when Microsoft is fucking people in the ass? It's because they're fucking people in the ass. Everyone should have a right to a computer that respects your privacy, go suck more jeet cock, nigger.

 

[George Lucas]

I don’t know what you speds are going on about. Modern Windows is trash but at least it has backwards compatibility.

That’s literally all Windows is: a glorified tool for running the largest software library of any system ever. Who cares if you need to pay $200 to turn ads off when you have that accessibility?
