Are you using this?

no
only win7 on all my pc

Yes, 8.1 + classic menu is God tier, though you still sometimes get the horrible limited menu systems, haven't figured a way to be rid of them yet

I run it for networking and solar winds programs

My husband forced me to upgrade to win 10 so I could play some crappy DX12 game with him which flopped hard and I had the last laugh at the little bitch who now has to play guild wars 2 with me instead :3

I am.

Next to vista this is amongst Microsoft's best.

I still run 8.1 on my main desktop, but my laptop and spare desktop room 2012 r2, and I have to say I'm sticking with 2012 for all my future windows machines.

Yes. I still don't know why Jow Forums loves to avoid it like plague

Yes, on PC and my phone.

Yes. Best modern desktop OS

Nope. Windows 8/8.1 is dog shit

You're better off installing 10 and being done with it.

>Fullscreen metro start menu
Can be replaced easily
>Fullscreen apps
Nobody uses those anyways
>No start menu (8 only)
You mean the button
>Lags like a bitch on crap hardware
Fairly wrong, specially if you use those crappy netbooks/trail tablets. Many of those run fine on 8.1 and shit the bed with 10.

>Can be replaced easily
I'd rather not have a 3rd party start menu
>Fairly wrong, specially if you use those crappy netbooks/trail tablets. Many of those run fine on 8.1
Windows 8.1 was painfully slow on my Samsung NP300E5E laptop, especially with ClassicShell running

>Arch Linux on Windows 10

Yikes

I might but there is no cheap legit keys, only msdn banable trash on eBay, and activators are botnet shit.

8.1 will be my last refuge at w7 EOL.

Macs are shitty hardware and the software is locked down.
Plus they just dropped MoltenVK and openGL so they force Metal API locking and I'm actually a dev.
Plus if I want to ship apple programs I need to use Apple approved hardware to fucking compile and sign it.
So fucking stupid.

When w7 EOL microshaft will allow you to upgrade to a 8.1 or w10 just like they did with xp/vista.

They will crack under the pressure just like they did with the XP EOL time extentions.

I use it with classic shell on one of four systems. The other three are Win 7.

how is security in this thing ?
better than windoes 7 or worse than windows 7 ?
i'm thinking of using 8.1 in my next bulid cause it can't use 7 (RYZEN apu)

maybe user is a gay man? you talk to them every day whenever you post here, so it would be strange to dislike gay people....

Worse. Larger attacking surface compared to 7. Buy Intel.

>Buy Intel.
can a non retard answer me ?

now, when i look at my question above i feel ashamed i'm sorry Jow Forums
i'd go on /v/ maybe someone will answer me

>husband
Gay man or grill?

What information were you looking for again?

Fuck off with your trash hardware then and use botnet garbage for the rest of your pathetic life. Retard.

Been on Debian based linux distros since 2009. Debian stable since 2014. For phones I use samshit Android. Lost interest in rooting and the constant tweaking.

I dont get the hate for 8. Its legit an upgrade from 7 without 10 bullshit

i will be using 2200G in my next bulid
i wanted windows 7 but it's no go on APU
so i am thinking of windows 8.1

so i am asking: is windows 8.1 similar in terms of privacy and security compared to 7 or is it a garbage like windows 10 ?
on install gentoo wiki there is no infor on this topic
good goym

Enjoy your botnet on shit inferior hardware, moron.

8.1 with classic shell is what you're looking for. You'll learn to bypass and avoid the features you don't want in a few days time.

>botnet
>recommends Intel
What are you even doing, this is why nobody respects you

Same with AyyMD.

>Classic shell
you mean something like windows "9" ?
i will debloat this just like i did with 7 but my main concern is about forced updates and "hidden functions" like 10 has
and i never took any interest in 8.1 because 7 just werks
(((You)))

>muh botnets
>proceeds buying CPU which locks him inside the botnet
Are all men so unreasonable on that side of the world?

I'm a committed 7 user. There are no forced updates with 8.1. Just make sure to implement classic shell and you'll hardly notice a difference.

>you'll hardly notice a difference
lol

The store is just the name of their package management system

I don't even know what you're showing me, namefaggot.

Haha, no.

thanks user
in case win 8.1 won't fit me i will try Mint :3

8.1 will probably suit your needs when the retarded linux command line shit fails you.

uh yeah. It's there so corporations can deploy their own tooling and whatever, though it can be configured to dial in to microsoft's servers too

No, you don't use "Microsoft Store" for that.

you're an idiot

Keep dreaming. That is the MS Store, and nothing mrore.

This.
I'd also recommend OldNewExplorer to get rid of the ribbon cancer for Windows Explorer

You know, posts like these are what often keeps me away from going back to 7.

You still can't get rid of Store, Photos and Camera.

You're an imbecile. You can use 8.1 without ever seeing the store, etc.

Do you also burry your head in sand?

Yeah it's so fucking difficult not to open an app by mistake. I'm so concerned about its bloat, everytime I have to remember that there are two applications in my system that I don't want, I just stop using my computer altogether. I cannot live with it.

They open automatically.

Thinking of getting Win10. Is it worth a buy or should I pirate?
If buying the easiest/cheapest is from Microsoft?

>thinking of taking a diseased cock up my ass
>should i pay for it?

My bad, I thought you knew how to use a computer. Here:

techforluddites.com/windows-8-1-change-the-default-program-for-opening-files/

i'm gay and i like to be fucked in ass
that's why i want windows 10

Why would you go and pay for windows 10

It's not worth a pirate at this point. It's supposedly a "service" now which is why they provide it for free. And to fuck your butthole.

They always run in background, you can see them in task manager in the application history tab.

OH MY FUCKING GOD
KILL YOURSELF ALREADY
YOU'RE SO FUCKING DISGUSTING

>application history
>always run in the background
Please use google to, again, learn how to use a computer and kindly stop saying silly things. It's dumb and the name and your silly webms don't help anyone.

Application history tab shows you huw much a Metro application has been running in background.

Fuck, would you look at that. I'm impressed.

>since 11 July
Give it a day or two.

that doesn't mean they're running

Oh yes, it does. Look here: They even made 600KB of traffic.

Well shit, I don't know. Maybe if you use them they would run. I mean apparently they "always" run in the background. Ok pal. Take your meds.

you see this menu in like 0.00003% cases when using 8.1

Used 8.1 for about 4 years and never had any big issues

8.1 is fine but 7 is still god-tier

what?

We both know Win 10 won.

Those moderna crapps made 600KB of internet traffic in, probably, a couple of minutes.

right

What did you want? If she was a slut sleeping around instead?
Fix your life incel-kun

Have you considered:

1. All of those 6 apps can be uninstalled right away
2. All that traffic (wow the whole 600KB) is worthless shit like new data to show on live tiles

>1. All of those 6 apps can be uninstalled right away
Store, Photos and Camera can't be uninstalled. Same with OneDrive.

>2. All that traffic (wow the whole 600KB) is worthless shit like new data to show on live tiles
In of itself is not that much traffic. Until you realize he just cleared those stats. All that traffic represents two minutes, at most. Imagine 24 hours.

we went through this earlier, you just broke something and are trying to spread FUD for whatever reason. But that's not how windows works

No, nothing is broken.

a couple of hours at most. OneDrive isn't going to start sending tons of data for no reason, that makes no sense.

apparently something is. You posted these same gifs months ago dude, fix your shit.

>a couple of hours at most.
You make no sense.

Store is.

Different installations. All have the same problems.

And yet you have nothing substantial to base your claim off of. The internet is a thing these days you know, most computers are on it.

Holy goalpost moving batman

>Until you realize he just cleared those stats. All that traffic represents two minutes, at most. Imagine 24 hours.
Why do you lie to people like this? What do you hope to accomplish, you paranoid fuck?

Dual booting Linux and Win 7. Still have a laptop which runs beautifully with WinXP. Will eventually go full Linux.
