Jerry Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Piece of shit Windows 7. It's never been a great love story between me and Windows, and every time it slows down to pre-Pentium levels I remind myself to move to Linux once and for all with my next computer. But tonight was an all-time record, the system wasn't even usable. I took the power cord and unplugged the fuck out of it, the DOS way.Almost felt better than an orgasm =DDid this ever happen to you guys?

Crazy Lee Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 That sounds like my phone right now. it's a 3 year old phone, and apparently unlike computers (mine is 3 years old and runs fast) phones are obsolete after a year. Thing grinds to a halt for no reason... Tried antivirus, nothing.Will probably try to hack it and install slimrom or cyanogen and if that doesn't work then give santa blowjobs for a galaxy 6.

Wolflich Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I always found win7 performed fine as long as I made minimal effort to maintain it. It did need the maintenance though. That's why I always put linux on my father's computers: I know he's never going to so much as update it and would otherwise have such an unstable system overflowing with garbage by the time I next looked at it that I'd probably just reinstall to avoid dealing with it.

Some (like updates) could also have been set to occur automatically, I just didn't like them interfering with games because the internet is slow here.

Wrecker Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I have no beef with Windows at all.M$ has went way the fuck out of their way to develop an operating system that could handle a pile of hardware that I couldn't even begin to fathom.They're not Apple, they don't have the luxury of having every piece of equipment that they engineer to be done entirely in house and where the OS could make assumptions about what's really going on...On the other side of the coin, M$ has developed an operating system that is current and will still function on platforms that date back to the 19-fucking-90's. That is a HUGE feat. YOU CAN STILL GET WINDOWS 10 IN A 32 BIT RELEASE.Just gotta gripe on Apple for a bit here, because I fucking hate them, but take a quick Google and see the last computer they issued that can handle their latest release. Not goona spoil the answer in here, fucking assholes.But really, W7 is another release that is still receiving support for an insanely huge conglomeration of hardware... Oh, and they're offering W10 free of charge... I know, they obviously want to move away from handling 3 different iterations of their OS in terms of updates and support, but COME ON, it's fucking free! And it's good!Be wary over what your computer is going to deal with while it's up, because every tiny thing is a tax on its resources. If you don't need it right now, don't let it find a way into processes that are going to be there over its runtime, especially if you don't have the resources to handle a pile of junk processes. I have an old piece of shit Dimension 1100 in a dark corner that is quite happy chugging along with a release of W10.Vista was out way before it should have been; W7 is good; W8 was a pain in the ass in terms of figuring out that the fuck was going on, but it was alright; W8.1 was a solution to that bullshit; and W10 is, well, I haven't run into a problem yet.There's always the odd hardware discrepancy, but it is way better than back in the DOS up to early XP era where if you didn't have a driver on hand, you weren't going to boot your computer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyAshes Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 So far I'm only testing Windows 10 on my laptop. Had some teething issues but laptops can present more compatibility issues than desktops. I have three more valid Win7 machines kicking but I'm unsure what to do next. The big desktop is something I want to know runs well, though it should. The living room HTPC should be idiot proof however, but I want to make sure Kodi and auto starting programs and such work correction. What really scares me is the server. My Windows 7 server is running about a bajillion services for me and I'm not interested in rocking that boat just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of threads on the Nexus site about small issues cropping up. I would go to the Skyrim Nexus forum and search windows 10 for anything else. But a reinstall would fix everything though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
