Winblows faggotry. And shit

[Akzle]

yes.. there is. I am a linux user, but I'm paid to support win xp/7/8, and 7 is best. XP is dead

im a linux fanboy myself.
Afaik, xp is already 'legacy support'
i dont need or want newer hardware. 7 doesnt support the older shit and is resource hungry like a black african.

[Akzle]

What are you going to do then when XP support is over? It's a 12 year old OS already, get rid of it.
At least 7 has much better software support than XP, if that's a reason to make it "less shit".

my software needs are few:the ability to get porn, and....
Well. That, at least.

Get Lubuntu. It's light on resource use and works well with old hardware.

its on my grub list. Unfortunately, the presence of superior software doesnt influence windows in anyway.

How old is the PC? Machines do get old. Depending on how much they've been fucked with (and I've seen some crazy stuff) a re-install will assist, but won't get around hardware problems (see question about age).

Since it's a work PC, domain joined etc, stop fucking with it and let IT deal with it. Nothing worse than trying to fix a machine somebody "tried" to fix...

[SMOKEU]

Or put BackTrack on it and do some hax.

[scumdog]

go on jenius. What do you suggest..

You really don't know the answer to everything, do you?

Said the man running XP.......

And its ages old.

I have used XP for over 10 years without any drama and have used windows 7 for a year again with no drama.

I have to use Ubuntu at work and I am forever having to install the network drivers, reboot because programs lock up and just generally put up with the queer shit that is linux. The only good thing about it is the terminal...if i can even get it to open.

The other day I had about 10 terminal windows open and then the 'taskbar' thingy wouldn't let me click it to let me choose which window to go to. Had to minimise all my applications to find the window I wanted.

If I was using XP or 7 my productivity would be a lot higher.

Linux is for geeks who don't mind fucking around for 12 hours getting things to work.

ctrl+alt+f2
iirc.
Git yer cli on.

Linux wins if you dont take shit from it. And config it properly. Yes, a bit more involved to set up, but much slicker once done.

And the lack of gfx support. But people should be putting pressure on manufuckturers To release code non proprietarily. Then m$ will loose gamers. And jews wont get paid.

For all you lot arguing, it's horses for courses. I have a couple of Win 2000 boxes still running, as they have extremely important, but simple roles. No user ever touches them, so who cares.

XP won't magically break when MS stops supporting it, but yes, exploits etc are a risk. However, MS keeps fucking with the OS, making it different, and who the fuck cares. The OS is to do functional shit, not play with the OS itself. Avoiding Win8 as best possible for now, ideally our clients upgrade to Win7, and a lot have, but there's a bit of XP still around. Companies aren't made of money, and machines are not just upgraded because a new OS comes out.

I am not doing anything. It was installed by the sys admin and I shouldn't have to touch anything. Same can be said for windows...install, run, enjoy.

Heh. Linux... free if your time is worth nothing. Has many kick arse uses... desktop computing is definitely not one of them yet. Quite likely ever. The Linux revolution is like a train wreck 10 miles from the station in a distant tunnel... you're pretty sure it's supposed to be here by now... but it has never arrived and you don't know why.

My drone runs on it... basically a flying web cam... fantastic for that. Right tool for job as it were.
