Have I mentioned lately how much do I hate Windows 10? This time I've had enough.

 

I now hate it enough that I've ripped the poor little SSD with Ubuntu installed out of my laptop and put it in my main desktop... I been pushed enough that now I am finally switching all my productivity and internet usage to Linux. The way things are going, maybe gaming too.

 

Probably wouldn't be right to say I won't miss the good times with Windows...and if I said I wouldn't ever use Windows again for anything I would probably be lying... but for my use at home at least...it is time to say farewell...

  • Bye Cortana... I'm going to miss finding creative ways to block you at the router level and disable your program without borking the start menu.
  • Bye Partition manager... I'm going to miss how you can seemingly never delete a system partition from a freaking flash drive...I have to use diskpart instead.
  • Bye Microsoft Edge... you only sat in the task bar really... but I guess it would be rude if I didn't say goodbye.
  • Bye games and apps that Microsoft would randomly install taking up precious space on my tiny SSD because I mostly use network drives and shares for important crap...
  • Bye iSCSI initiator... I'll still never figure out why you would delete my server's connection entry randomly on reboot...
  • Bye Recycle Bin... I'm not going to miss all the times I had to go into the registry and delete the SMB address entries every time I would accidentally move files from a locked share into you instead of deleting them.
  • Bye restrictive Microsoft network drivers that decided to disable all network teaming functionality in pro licenses (a feature they used to allow mind you) thereby only making it available to enterprise licenses...jerks!
  • Bye Workstation service... I lost several days of sanity over you when you would randomly deny connections to SMB shares...
  • Bye Microsoft Content Delivery Manager/service... I'm going to...well I'm not going to miss you at all.

    Sounds like you've gotten tired of dealing with Windows 10 as a primary OS. I'm on that same highway, but taking a different exit ;)

    Welcome to Linux, where shit mostly breaks if you use Gnome, have more than one screen or if you have ever touched anything made by NVIDIA with your bare hands

    And really expensive :P Unless Hacintosh - in which case, way more difficult...

    @TopHatProductions115 I've been dealing with Microsoft crap for a long time. I grew up with Windows and Dos when I was a kid. Linux back 15 or so years ago was difficult enough just to download and install. Today it is unbelievably easy and the GUI has come a very long way too. I just have integrated Linux more and more into my life with other things, so it makes sense to take the leap.

     

    @Bananasplit_00 No kidding...especially the last statement... though I like my..err Nvidia GPU, for several reasons I've been investing more and more in AMD.
