Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Waiting on a response from upstream.
based thread tbh
I had to install win10 on a few refurbished computers the other day and goddamn Cortana does not shut the fuck up or off. Of course there's also the crazy amount of data they collect as well as delivering 3rd party ads right to your desktop.
If Macs and Linux supported games better and didn't have cringe sycophant fanbases, I never would have touched Windows after 8.

Obligatory windows meme
A Windows 10 update fucked around with my shit too, it's annoying as hell.
I’ve hated it ever since I first installed it back in 2016.
I wish I had the knowledge/confidence/skills to run a Linux OS, but I can’t risk bricking my machine. Certainly not with all that irreplaceable vintage porn on it anyway.

I haven't disliked it as much as most people, but this update sucks a fat dick.
I highly recommend using 10 Pro and then disabling automatic updates through group policy. Since building my Win 10 machine in October, I haven't had to download or install a single update at all.
That was the other big sticking point for me for using 10, but there are programs that disable all or most of the invasive telemetry and ads. I like ShutUp10.

Updates need to be tested beforehand.
They also changed a bunch of the icons
For all the trash this OS is, you can control the updates a bit by setting up a management group on your pc and putting your accounts under it, and a lot of the bloatware can be removed with a bit of modding. Still one of the most restrictive versions of Windows yet and I can't see it getting better.

I don't know when you last checked it out, but outside of games with anti-cheat or crazy DRM, games tend to run pretty well with Proton.
Cringe fanbase is unavoidable. Luckily the onboarding process to Linux is pretty good these days and outside of very specific hardware issues things are usually very easy to get going without having to get too involved with the community directly.
You can always spin up a virtual machine and poke around a bit before going through with a full install. And if you're on a desktop, popping in an additional hard drive just for Linux is also a possibility.

You'll pry my Windows 7 installation disc from my cold, dead hands.
That is not a choice for me sadly. I'm not tech savvy but I reckon I could install Linux or have a partition dedicated to it.
The problem is that I have an ASUS with custom hardware. It conflicts heavily with Win10 already and I don't think installing Linux will work much better (I even think it will brick my entire laptop).
I'll have to get cucked by Windows till the end.
Run Pro or Linux. Never run Windows Home

same. I'm at the cusp of just saying "fuck it" and switching to a Linux system which is Windows-like, but I use my PC for work as well and I'm not tech literate enough to not accidentally give myself a heart attack with managing/migrating to multiple OSs.
werks for me 
I can't think of any conceivable reason that it would brick your laptop. In any case, you can run a live version of most Linux OSes from a USB drive. If it boots up and you can make it to the desktop environment without a cascade of error messages you're probably golden. If there's massive compatibility errors it'll just shit its pants and do nothing.

When I did an update on my whole machine this year (thanks Coronabux), it left me with an old, extra SSD that still has some life left in it, so for the first time in awhile I put Windows 10 on it just in case I ever need to dualboot (there are a handful of games that still dont work with Proton on steam). Having been away for so long, I was taken back by all the bloat, slowness, stupid cortana bullshit. Then I can't uninstall some default shit I will never use unless I run a shell script. This is the 'it just works' of MS fanboys?
