The best part in Windows 10 is the fact that it steals all your data.
It is a privacy nightmare of an OS.

It doesn't steal your data :please:

I don't know where you heard that but the worst it does is send diagnostic reports to Microsoft.

Even then, you can just turn off all those options if you so wish to.

It is enough that facebook and google steals all my data.
People should try harder to dox me from my desktop.

Not tho mention thinking how they censor their OneDrive and Outlook emails, I don't have much faith in them.
The Windows Ride pretty much ended for me with Win 7. :adorkable:

You could've given Linux/Ubuntu a try, that's supposed to be the best OS if you're looking to branch out from Windows. 

Since it's open source there's so much more you can do with it than Windows & MacOS combined. It's worth looking into if you're into heavy customization, programming, networking technology or even hacking if that's your thing. 

Just some friendly advice, lad. :mlp_smug:

I have a few Linux machines just in case. :P

Those are all valid concerns but I want to say with what my experiences are. I know I won't change your mind on what you bought but I want to lay out what I think.

 

Well yes, all mileage may very should go without saying. :P

For me, there are tiny problems with Windows 10 but also for me, I have MANY more problems with Apple products (like them being proprietary, not being able to change around parts due to it being soldered to the motherboard, etc...)

In my opinion, if I were to ditch Windows, I would go with a good Linux distro and have a grand ol' time.

Trust me Apple being proprietary turned me off at first but I am starting to feel the advantages to that. I wouldn't really want to switch to Linux though because I simply don't want to spend a lot on a machine and the only support I get is from volunteers, you know? I got this computer for productivity and I think no one can deny that Apple is king for that. Their machines are sturdy and stable which is super important when getting work done.

I too had make  change from windows because of the lots of negative things like that @Key Sharkz described, but I moved to Lubuntu. Since I use my machine to rendering animations, it's a really downside, that wibugs needs that amount or RAM, and also surprisingly, Blender renders faster like in windows.
The other reason was that I own a raspberry pi, and raspbian is based on debian, soo it's good to have a "uniform" system everywhere.

Remember, the final, and ultimate order to solve any problem is: " sudo rm -rf /* "     Just kidding...

I installed Arch Linux last week and after installing it I eventually deleted it because I didn't feel like manually typing in new repositories into the mirror list. Screw that.

I'll stick with Kali and Debian for now.

Good morning all.  How's it going?

I'm doing quite alright! I went to the bank to create my checking account, but it has to wait due to my age. :pout: I'll get it soon enough, though; that's what credit unions are for.

How about yourself~?

You think so? :ooh:

I feel like for a while this had turned into a computer software thread or something, I don't understand computer stuff, I just want a computer that's user friendly and works fast, that's all I'm looking for! :mlp_icwudt:

Anyways, it looks like you guys are having good days, so am I, it's my day off and I'm taking it easy :fluttershy:

I feel like an M20 screw, because I was unable to manage something.
Otherwise, everything is awesome.

Hey, how's everyone going today? 

  • Brohoof 2

At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.
