Remind me again when the FUCK did using a PC become so convoluted? I'm so tired of this bullshit

>Not installing a pre-cracked version with all updates already preinstalled It's your own fault m8 but I do agree with you, windows is so shit when installing updates
Windows >takes anywhere from 10 minutes to 4 hours to search for updates >Updates can get stuck randomly and wont ever install no matter how many hours you wait >updates can take hours to finish installation and not actually install (failed to install after rebooting) >Updates can take hours to install and randomly fail making you wait 30+ mins reverting installation
Linux >Searching for updates takes 10 seconds >Installation takes minutes and you dont even need to reboot
Jackson Lewis

readFor some retarded reason 99% of programs nowadays require you to install these fucking miscroshill packages, but the packages themselves have prequisites that these fuckers don't tell you about.
Sure I can install firefox and shitpost here right away but NOTHING ELSE WORKS

Don't listen to mouthbreating basedboy retards who hate Windows 8.1 OP. I reinstalled Windows 8.1 last February. Used this for the drivers: sdi-tool.org/ Used WSUS for updates, it finished in less than 2 hours: download.wsusoffline.net/ I'm using 8.1 right now.
Carson Watson
Just use win10 or linux.
Btw, what fuckin packages? Updates or common redist?
Jordan Sanchez
I think you're mistaking Windows for Linux.
Cooper Reyes
>virus check is a pdf file that's hosted in their servers umm, no thanks
Christian Nguyen
Visual C++ redist
All new games/programs such as MS office need the 2015 or 2017 packages. However, you can't install that unless you install a series of prequisite packages beforehand
Michael Nguyen
Sounds like computers are not your game sir... Every computer I have used is nice to me because I am nice to them~~~
