[X] My Assistant

I this thread i would like to see what os are you using and some opinions about it , problems that you faced

i'm using windows 7 right now , had some problems with my sound and video card but i've downloaded their drivers from internet and now it's working good. It's using a bit more memory than windows xp witch I had before but it looks better

Windows 10. Honestly, it's a lot like Vista for me, a lot of people hate it and tell me to expect horror but I've had no problems with it so far.

Windows 10 is privacy invasive.

Vista was fine if your hardware had good drivers.

win 10 pro

win10，Insist on not upgrading windows 11

win10，Insist on not upgrading windows 11

hopefully you keep doing that after 10 is not supported anymore. Otherwise, they win again.
Although if you're on 10 they already have.

Windows11 is just ok!

host os : win 10
guest os : win 11

Most people don't care or they would suffer a little bit and do most of their shenanigans on one of the "window-like" visual operating systems based upon linux. If more people would move to those types of window-like O/S, then they would be able to grow their userbase and become even better. Win11 depends on normal people continuing to stay with Win10 and then moving on. This is because Win10 is the recruitment phase for Win11. If you subscribe to services AND apps based upon Win10, you will become more locked in towards migrating to Win11 which is the devil for privacy and external monitoring of your actions.

Win10 also marks an important change where O/S users didn't buy an operating system - they use it as a service. This is legally important as all those privacy laws protecting people disappear and cannot be litigated. The old privacy laws exist for products you purchase and not for a service. In the old days, you could litigate if a dynamic product that you owned (eg an operating system) UNILATERALLY changed its privacy rules to say that you have no privacy when running other programs. In the new days, a service can do that and you have no recourse.

Win11 is basically the second coming of Palladium. It allows websites and online services to even ban your hardware (gpu serial, cpu serial, mobo serial) from accessing them ever again. So even if you make new secret accounts or use VPN, your O/S faithfully reports your identity.

Win11 also supports the upcoming new identity laws where a picture of your face and your government ID are also known. A few websites already use rudimentary versions and the IRS.GOV is transitioning to registered user accounts where your face and government ID are known. Once enough users have facial ID type security credentials registered, other normie sites can simply piggyback and require you to enter your registered ID code too. Then those normie sites will absolutely know who you are as well as reporting your data (and what you do with their freeware site or freeware software) to whoever collects Big Data.

On my servers currently in migration process to FreeBSD from Linux.
After two years of evaluation, I finally decided that BSD is the way.

Using Windows 10 Enterprise for my PC right now, cuz unable to upgrade to Windows 11.

My servers are all running on Ubuntu cuz it's the first Linux release I used and I think its ez enough to use. XD

If more people would move to those types of window-like O/S, then they would be able to grow their userbase and become even better.

This is true, but then it would get more commercialized and I'd have to leave for the BSD's.

Everything you said in that post about win10 and win11 is true.

I prefer openbsd over freebsd. I had tons of trouble getting audio to work properly on my laptop with freebsd; I get the idea that most freebsd devs aren't using it day to day on their hardware.

On servers freebsd work fine especiall on enterprise hardware.

For desktop any BSD is big no for me. I wouldn't let go of all the Windows convenience just because a certain neckbeard at FSF tells me to.

Have you ever *tried* openbsd? You get a desktop environment out of the box. And for me sound and video have "just worked." I'd even say it's been more robust than Debian (which I have a lot of configuration changes on). Documentation is also far better. And its wireless configuration syntax is great.

The default setup is remarkably similar to my daily driver (debian) with FVWM.

Stallman doesn't like the BSD's because they let people take code and not contribute back. I don't care in this case. Their licenses are also much simpler than GPL.

And the windows UI is anything but convenient these days. Having been away from it for a while, it feels like handling a greased three legged pig. Up through 7 (even somewhat into 8), I could tell you where things were.

I use Windows. Because it is compatible with a wide range of software, I can run any software I want on Windows. Almost all software has a Windows version, but not necessarily a mac version.

But I am very tired of it is very buggy, running very unstable, especially Windows 11, I hope Microsoft can hurry to fix them.

Ah, yes, the false dichotomy.
Software I use daily or near-daily that doesn't exist in windows or is a joke there:

• cron
• CUPS
• /sbin/init
• ksh
• bash (no, the built in version is the linux version, not windows native, and therefore does not count. The versions that are windows .exe's are all Cygwin- or UWIN-based rather than native ports and therefore suffer from fork() performance degradation.)
• xterm
• FVWM
• xargs
• Wine (which runs many old windows programs better than modern Windows will)

Additionally, there are quite a few programs that run like shit on windows:

• MinGW MSYS shell performs like ass (try running an autoconf 'configure' script)
• emacs
• Anything OpenGL related (usually... somewhat driver dependent)
• MS Office after ~2003

Point is, just because you don't use it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But I am very tired of it is very buggy, running very unstable, especially Windows 11, I hope Microsoft can hurry to fix them.

They will never fix that. If they fix one problem they'll ruin it in three other ways to make up for it. They don't care about you. They care about enterprise customers, and you're just beta testing for them.

Not on iOS 15 yet, I am still trying to figure a few things out before upgrading.

I switched to Win 10 this year; I was on extended release Win 7 until I got my new computer. Good thing too; I tried upgrading the old one to Win 10 and it blew up the hard drive.

Sorry to hear that.

I'm still booting off a seagate 500GB HDD from 2007. It's had the same OS install for over half of its life.

Although I question buying a new computer when all it sounds like needed replacing was an HDD. Hope you're putting the old one to good use somehow.
