Windows sucks

[Inverted_Walrus]

So I've been getting really annoyed at Windows and how bad it is all the time. I have an amazing computer and it's garbage because of Windows. What I want is an operating system that has all the games on steam that Windows has, but not Windows. 

[Bsmith]

please, define problems.

 

Im geniouly interested in what you might encounter.

 

Although I admit that windows is quite shite, being in a position where I more and more need to use specialized software that is, A) mac or linux only or B) cross platform but shit on windows.

[ddrkreature]

The problem is OSX is very VERY proprietary and Linux is not very good at running games.

 

I too would like to know what problems you're having with Windows because I seem to be one of the very few people here that likes Windows (not Vista or 8)

Qustioning what people are doing with their computers all day. Much likely user failure. More retarded user then retarded windows.

no other OS supports the games and programs that windows supports, and when there are ways around they are fiddly and not reliable

Not really sure what problems you could be having to make it THAT bad ALL the time, honestly I never notice windows 99% of the time, I just open the program/browser I want and forget what platform I am on

Don’t support DirectX, as it’s likely never coming to any OS other than Windows. Support OpenGL, and more importantly support Vulkan – support open formats and standards instead of corporate backbones filled with controlling fluids. You can make a statement to Microsoft and (arguably more importantly) to their competitors that you want to see alternatives to their closed ecosystem.

You're implying that DirectX is the source of the issue yet the original post is so ambiguous that it would almost be deemed as illogical. Stop that; when a person states that there is something wrong with "software X" yet gives no information on it, then it is the job of those who are willing to delve into these kinds of things to question and scrutinize the subject until more logical information is given. Don't just jump to conclusions and inadvertently start circle jerking upon a competitive product. Sure, Vulkan is awesome but there are still flaws to Vulkan as there are DirectX; all forms of software have and will continue to have issues that can be patched, but never fixed; it's just the way of technology. Again, the original post is filled with ambiguity and lacks tangible information so don't just jump to conclusions or else you're just posting just for shits and giggles.

Moving to you now, if you are having problems with your operating system then please do tell us what is wrong with said OS. There are people on this site who want to help those with tech related issues or just want to talk about various subject, however; they don't appreciate it when someone post something ambiguous on this site and expect everyone to know what they're talking about. Remember there are those who actually have a profession in technology and have very specific ways of solving issues yet get quite frustrated when people can't seem to state the issues they're having with any clarity. Just keep that in mind when requesting help on something.

Does not exists.

Steam libery has allot of linux supported games nowdays.

But its still only a small number of total games.

 

Allthoug linux as a daily driver is great.

But it might be a hassle if you jump on it as an all time windows user.

But overall you can get used to it pretty quickly.

I run several linux distro´s.

Yes. I agree with you. Windows is shit.

 

I'd rather write my documents with a pen and paper and search my things from a dictionary rather than using Wikipedia.

 

Why do you complain about Windows when you could complain about people starving in Africa. (And not trying to say that they should eat Windows.)

 

Plot twist: Windows is actually shit.

Windows10 in particular is a pile of crap indeed yes.

Right my problems are; a lot. I'll only go through some of them cause there is a list longer than the amount of you should jokes on these forums. The first is a failure connecting to the internet pretty much every time I boot the computer. Although it is doing much much better now it is still a large annoyance. The problem that pushed me to posting this topic was the xbox app. I hate xbox but all my friends have them so the xbox app in windows 10 is useful for voice chat while they're on xbox and I'm on PC. But every time I try to join a party it says "network error" or something. I searched through the internet for over 3 hours for the solution. Never found anything that worked. I tried disabling certain drivers, updating drivers, opening and closing ports, reinstalling the app, and many many many more. Back onto the internet problems, there is a constant issue with internet speeds. I have 40mbps down speeds which sometimes don't work. If run a speed test (if I can load the web page) it sometimes jump starts the wifi to get back up to the full 40mbps. I know its a windows error because if I run speed tests on any other device it works fine. There are many more but I'll end it here.

This sounds like an ISP issue. Not a windows problem.

This might be a dying network card or corrupted drivers. What WiFi card do you have? 

 

I had an issue where my internet would have massive ping spikes unless I reinstalled the driver for my wifi card everytime I booted. Now I'm pretty sure this is just a quirk of my system, but after a refresh (or whatever it's called, it's the thing where it keeps all your files, but uninstalls all your programs but reinstalls the OS) of Windows, it was fixed.

This is my brand new computer with a brand new network card and fresh drivers so it should be fine. It's a tp-link network card. I think it's an archer T8E or something like that.

That's the card i have. The windows refresh fixed things for me, but reinstalling the drivers is a good temporary fix.

Well, all I'm going to say is that this isn't a Windows issue, rather an issue with third party things.
