Which OS you prefer

[Kursah]

It actually works very nicely and is very smooth to navigate...the admin menu is improved as well. Functionality-wise it takes little time to adjust to and I've found many coming from XP or 7 have been able to migrate to that quite easily. Been a smoother transition that 8/8.1 or rolling back to 7 from 8/8.1 before 10 came out.

I don't really have any issues with 10 at the moment, I know some folks do...but I'm pretty damn stable on my systems, though I do see some come through my bench with issues...usually folks messing with things they shouldn't have like many other situations where the OS is blamed. But 10 does do a fine job of causing its own issues in some areas for some folks...no denying that.

Honestly, I can't see why anyone would stay on 7 or 8.1 in the face of 10 at this point, but folks have their preferences... I'm no hater to updating OSes though, I'm on pfSense 2.3 and Ubuntu 16.04 as well. On 10, I feel it is faster, as-stable-as (if not more than) 8.1 and 7 (in my experience), and with/without DX12 is really a pointless part of the argument at this point...more games might make a difference in the future. At this point it is about the OS experience...there's becoming more to like than dislike, and once folks take the tin hats off and give it a fair shake...many will find it's easy to work with, navigate, the newer start menu actually works very well, and the OS as a whole is generally pretty damn snappy and stable. To each their own though.

@Tsukiyomi91 Can you please edit a post instead of double posting? It's the forum rules and I'd hate to see you get reprimanded for it.

@Kursah lemme recheck them. thanks for noting

@Tsukiyomi91 the DirectX doesn't really really matter bcs it's only really few games that still using over directx 9/11 anyway the only game i personally own so far is Rise of the Tomb Raider

it's not really like u can see a difference between DX 11 and 12 in RoTR.

so not like u really actually get anything to miss bcs texture size remains the same, and there is properly for almost every game a emb mod u can install to make it even better no matter the DX the game runs and there r for the popular games custom made high texture pack so mby it is time to just going back, even it's only all the small things that's bugging me not the whole os.

I was going to comment about the thread necro, but was hoping it'd just die again.

Windows 8 and Windows 10 feel like transitions to something better. Really hate that to change, for example, the screensaver, you have to go in to the new Metro UI, under "Lock Screen" (stupid place for it), then it kicks you out of Metro back in to the old Screensaver settings window. Just feels really unfinished and now that Metro is already dying, I wish they'd just go back.

That said, I still put Win 10 on almost everything.

Windows 10... I like the ease of integration with all my devices and apps. It has foibles; however, every OS I have tried does.

 

[GoldenX]

Had to disable Windows Update on Windows 10, it was becoming a PitA. I'm gonna stick with the updated isos.

Then you might want to upgrade your VM system with the passthrough option (if you have Xen): http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_PCI_Passthrough

Heres a sample of GPU passthrough so you can enjoy gaming on a VM:

Not saying Windows 10 is bad, it's just the small annoying things like yesterday my Winamp disappeared from the Default apps in Windows 10 so I had to reinstall Winamp srsly

Hell, if we're going for "OS I'd still be using if it supported modern things"

OS/2 Warp 4. Yep. That desktop was fuckin' scriptable and Object Oriented man. Nothing like it to date.

For me and the wife Win10 is fine but Win7-8.1 if you have kids unless you don't mind the bullshit parental controls that come with windows 10.

 

[Kursah]

I use standard user accounts and OpenDNS filtering for my kids gaming PCs with 10. No issues and highly recommended.

 

[LightningJR]

7/10, depends on what I want to use at any given time.

You can do time limits ? .

Ya I set em and my boys stick to em. And I believe with them being domain connected I could simply create an access limit GPO if I needed to. I'll look into it

I run a virtual DC on my homebuilt server. Even so...haven't needed it.

We need to start a thread too see how many of us bring our work home and make ridiculous home labs.

It's a thought one i have had a few times but don't want to have a PC on for others to be able to connect. Trying to get our bills lower not higher.

 

[Shou Miko]

well i been running a Windows 8.1 Pro in Hyper-V and when I use that one it works far better than Windows 10 Pro even I am running the Hyper-V in Windows 10 so this is soo ironic

Still thinking about going back not like I will miss a lot except DX12 but srsly come on Microsoft make W10 more like W8.1 and we have a winner

 

[GoldenX]

I'm trying to understand how to use PCI pass through on a virtual machine. With that you can use your GPU directly to a virtualized Windows, goodbye Windows partition and dual boot!
