What are the first things you do with a new computer?

My new laptop arrives today, what do? I'm thinking:
>clean install of Windows
>set up my browsers and apps
>remove shitty bundled apps
>file transfer
>get a nice new wallpaper from /wg/


How do you make your new computer comfy, Jow Forums?

clean remove Windows
shit in the mouth of people that use the word "apps"

install windows
update chipset and bios firmware
mess around with windows for a while and wonder why people still use it
install linux

install gentoo, or any gnu/linux distro instead of that crap o windows

>wonder why people still use it

linux is shit

I shrink or remove Windows. I install Linux and copy over my usual stuff. Done, essentially.

You don’t even know what Linux is, faggot

DL my dotfiles from Dropbox, install openbox+tint2 and dmenu, and then install various things like waterfox and dev libraries.

I always collect the installers I need in advance. Chipset/GPU drivers + software I use daily. The rest I just download/install as I go.

>Clean install of Windows so I don't have to have all the preinstall crap.
>Install drivers.
>Disable spying shit.
>Open Edge to download Firefox.
>Setup a restore point just in case.
>Download and install basic apps that are needed.
>Remove preinstall apps that Windows 10 installs.
>Make another restore point.
>Add my files, bookmarks, and other shit that I need to the computer.
>Setup wallpaper and screensaver.
>Change power settings.

>windows
LOL

>>remove shitty bundled apps
>actually doing this after install, instead of enforcing a policy before user setup

"clean install of Windows" is the peak of oxymorons

ftfy

I was referring to Linux itself, as in the monolithic kernel Linux; not GNU + Linux. Please work on your reading comprehension, then perhaps you will one day find gainful employment

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
