Today my friend who is about to buy new pc, asked abt my opinion on w10 because he is used to w7 and wonders what my experience was with w10
HelloThisIsIT
I mean maybe your conversations, I'm asked all the time
orangatuan
I respond like this to any question of "recommonding" anything.
artman55555
Wrong. the correct Answer is because Windows 10 is a fucking spying program
dangermint
I got that with Comcast. Despite one decent tech support call, I would still never recommend them to anyone. Worst company ever.
Sm9yCg
You obviously don't have any friends with alternative operating systems...
DrMcTouchy
I do. I guess I'm just weird.

Still rocking windows 7 enterprise edition for my gaming rig. I will never assimi...uh I mean “upgrade”
pepran12
My answer was your updates are broken.
WowWhatAWhore
"Hey yo i need to reformat my computer, any suggestion for an OS?" IT HAPPENS
thisistoohard
I got a phone call from one of these from t-mobile
Loveshead2
Hello fine sir. Do you have a second? Let me tell you about Windows 10...
AtheistNotAntiTheist
"Excuse me, I just wanted to talk to you about our lord and saviour 'Windows 10' " *door closed in face* "Oww.."

It is the standard Net Promoter Score question found in most surveys
Asteroidrules
You installed it on my computer against my will, I already know my recommendation has no bearing on whether or not it spreads.
BaronAlexander
This is called a Net Promoter Score and is used by most software companies. The question has to be asked this way. Source: Support Manager
thechelonianshelmet
I'd reccomend Windows 10, if it didn't switch off for no reason and without warning
mtallmen184
I don't want to use Windows 10 because I don't trust Micro$oft to not fuck me over somehow
DaCrazyBeggar
I mean I had a discussion with my cousin about it (i was being sceptical and hes is an IT major) but i appreciate the joke @OP
geiokami
I’d totally recommend windows 10 if the friend wants spyware
Niddhoger
In all seriousness I just can't like windows 10. I felt the last windows I honestly could get behind was 7.
The701
Same. And with their excessively-aggressive push to the point of making it act like auto-installing malware, some people had no choice.
Niddhoger
My computer is BIOS-incompatible with windows 10... didn't stop me from getting aggressive spams 10 times a minute.
The701
Have auto-update enabled...wake up the next day....Surprise, you have Windows 10 now. Oh, and the installer auto-removed some programs it
The701
deemed incompatible, because fuck you, that's why.
battlepants
As a person who was tasked with locking down an image of Win10 for field deployment - Fuck Win10. That bloatware is cancer.
battlepants
To clarify, if I have to go into fucking powershell and/or safemode to remove your microtransaction bullshitery, it's cancer.

AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
I recommend it all the time to my retard friends still on XP/Vista/8.x.
gewalt
unless they are on windows 7, I'd recommend every windows user upgrade to 10. still on 7? its perfectly fine. kill 8 with fire
BlunderbussVigilante
8/8.1 is perfectly fine once you get used to it, at least until its support ends. Vista on the other hand...
doctorbees
My explanation would have been more along the lines of: "Because your forced upgrade fucked my PC, that's why."
ChomskyWouldnt
Bruh. I have literally had multiple conversations about operating systems THIS WEEK ALONE (and it's only Monday)
PonyMadness
Gamers. PC builders. Tech jobs. IT jobs. Retail jobs in tech stores (Best Buy), etc. They all talk about operating systems
TylerTheAnarchist
Was going to say I work at Geek Squad and I have this conversation daily.
ImAkuTheShapeShiftingMasterofDarkness
I just put together my first pc and my friend recommended windows 10.
Sutashi
And all the IT pros stand in a collective voice "Damn it Microsoft".
Sutashi
Before anyone asks we do not speak of the other.
Waitingforthedarknes
Well have you tired Linux?
gewalt
I have tired and retired no less than 7 major linux distros. majority are just fine, but no thank you
WhosYourSenpai
Sounds exhausting.
drickanderson
Those who work in IT do. ALL THE TIME. Every family function, social gathering, etc. The 'computer guy' gets asked a million questions.
BisexualAtheistMinister
My dad and I. Mostly my dad though since I left college
ThePcPirate
I charge them for my time answering questions. They don’t ask anymore.
removekarling
What I find is that anyone who uses Linux then fanboys over Linux to everyone they know. y tho
brootl
Father in law works in IT. Can confirm.
PutItInMyUsb
I have the same problem/gift...?
sunyudai
I'm this guy. I respond with "Asking me to do that is like asking an electrician to pour you a new driveway. Both work on houses, but...
sunyudai
that isn't what the electrician does."
PsychicFlamingo
My Grandpa does this. And he's a little forgetful. As much as I love him, it's a little annoying to solve the same PC problems every visit.
Wobbixx
Try making a solutions guide with his common issues
PsychicFlamingo
Last time he came over I gave him written instructions and walked him through the process twice. Fingers crossed!
mashdots
Surprisingly, this isn't the case for me. But I work for zillow, so I spend most of the time explaining how big the company is.
TechnicallyRight
I remember emailing the email a person about this house function... that was like a year ago... so yeah... i didnt buy that house
TechnicallyRight
Do people respond to zillow stuff?
mashdots
we have care teams for agents and sellers (and buyers?). i'm not sure if messages about bugs go through without contacting an actual human.
CygnustheBananaSwan
So much truth
TheBestRussian
Medicine here. I get to learn about all kinds of private health info at family gatherings. Except I’m a subspecialist, I don’t know rashes.
sunyudai
And it's always the rashes they are too embarrassed to ask their regular doctors about.
PinkSpongebob
I would rather ask a doctor than a random family member, who will gossip around
sunyudai
Different family dynamics, I suppose.
experiencemike
My family knows I work Geek Squad. This is absolutely true.
stormegedendarklordofall
As a budding "computer enthusiast" "I can't get this to work" and "how do I do this?" are unfortunately all too common

You poor bastard
lLikeTurtles
I’m a pro camera op. Work with $100,000+ cameras. Friends ask me which camcorder I recommend. I don’t even know the difference between 1/2
marsgoose
I know the feel, work on $50k+ boxes in cluster of ~60, and people ask me should they upgrade their macbooks. How the fuck should I know?
marsgoose
"What RAM do you recommend?" IDK man, whatever the supplier has available when you order it by case.
cajuninjun
lol, that's like asking a Michelin chef what flavor easy cheese goes best on a ritz cracker
lLikeTurtles
Cheapo crappy consumer camcorders. I recommend the Sony a7sII and they complain it’s too expensive. Well, that’s the cheapest I would 2/2
lLikeTurtles
Consider using to film something worthy of being filmed with something else than an iPhone so, yeah (the end)3/2
brootl
GH4 is a good cheap option :-)
lLikeTurtles
Actually you’re right someone asked me for something around 1k and I said GH4 (I still own a GH2 hehe) but the price of lens was too much
TechnicallyRight
Is there something in an iPhone that makes it better at recording than my andriod?
lLikeTurtles
I use the word iPhone just like I use the word Bandaid, I mean all smartphones. They all suck as much to me. ARRI Alexa or death! #teamarri
scumbagschwiftler
Never been friends with a Linux user then, I take it?
samsonguy920
Only Linux users make friends with other Linux users. Anytime someone starts preaching about Linux to me, my ears turn off.
nobodylikesmyname
They don't recommend their OS, they insult you for not using it... or not the specific linux distro of their preference.
ThisIsWhyIDontTrustPeople
He said "people".

Humanadvisor
I have Linux and warn people against it
shinagami091
Linux users are like vegans
Thehumblebubble
No I have standards
badanka
Back in the days, I had a friend who ran BeOS.. And some people who were running openbsd as desktops.. ah, the good 'ol days.
icelandicsealbear
I was going to say, not only do I recommend operating systems, if I get stuck using a shitty one, everyone is going to know.
BigJewishHulk
As a Gentoo Linux user, I never talk about operating systems, except for all the time
PolishSpaceProgram
Btw I use Arch
PinkEater
dgg7
Dude, just because I use Linux, doesn’t mean I try to convince you. It’s your privacy that is invaded...
AmityPls
Google pretty much owns me at this point
dgg7
Yeah, me too. Seems like my joke was too subtile...
simplefishy
If you do they’ll let you know if they use vim
iamawaffleiron
They're too busy putting together their own life.

Most Ubuntu users are okay (I mean, it's as close to Windows as Linux can be). But I know a guy who runs Gentoo and OH MY FUCKING GOD ...
jpparkenbone
I don't think anyone ever has.
winterdreams7
Linux is superior to all other operating systems...we should all switch to linux
Mockingbirb
Linux users don't have friends....
MagnorCriol
Linux users don't recommend. They evangelize.
iRegretThisUsernameAlready
I try to be off-handed about it. People come to me for support, I mention I don't run into those issues on Linux. Some made the switch.

"Dude i'm telling you, i partitioned my hardrive to have ubuntu, you gotta do it, its freeing, its like i'm one with the machine!"

copingcabana
Seriously, though, Linux is amazing, it is soooo much faster than having Windoze on the same machine and it's free and (1/273)
TheCatsPajamas117
My biggest thing is, it just works. A lot less fighting with it to do anything. If you gotta do something you can also easily force it
TheCatsPajamas117
Also its fantastic for servers and vms. Super cost effective with any hardware
copingcabana
I know, I was just kidding about how we linux users are like nerd version of cross-fit. I use Linux exclusively at home.
iEatRainbowsForBreakfast
I had a boyfriend who insisted on changing my operating system to Linux.. I’m not tech savvy by any means. I threw the whole computer away.
iEatRainbowsForBreakfast
Lol for clarification; the computer was old and my bf and I broke up before I could ask him to change it back.
sunyudai
Aw, a Linux installation is easy to fix. Just reformat the disk and install windows.
pixelsnader
And the BF?

Linux users are the vegans of os's, They can't go 5 min without letting you know.
KingMurdoc
to be fair, half the time it's explaining why you don't have MS Office or what have you
benm421
I use Linux and I NEVER tell peop- wait... damnit.
DefunkMyJunk
Or tell people how they can do everything Windows can on Linux
TylerTheAnarchist
I would say they are the Mormons of OS's trying to convert me.
nobodylikesmyname
That's mac. I mean, mormons give like 10% of their income as tithing. Apple customers spend at least 10% of their income on Apple products.
pancrazio
Indeed. We try to make the world a better place but all we get is criticism from self righteous people.
dininek
Vegans or Linux users, because I can't figure it out from context?
naytorin
Gods, I hope that palpable irony is intentional.
pancrazio
Of course is intentional, I'm a Linux user, what do you expect

We're better than mac users by miles

I bought a Linux T-shirt once. Couldn't figure out how to put the damn thing on.

You have to say sudo before you can put it on

Now there's a distro I haven't heard of in a long time. I'll stick with tomsrtbt though.

Did you recompile it?
Iknowphotoshop
I buy windows shirts, they're a pretty solid except every even numbered version they come out with seems to spontaneously combust.
thecuttingedgeofcockingabout
Also the occasional problem of finding a hole in the most inconvenient of places and having to wait until Tuesday for a patch to arrive...
icelandicsealbear
Did your read the fucking manual?

You mean you bought a ball of yarn? Surely you'd have to compile it yourself?

Are Emacs shirts completely organic with no dyes?

Emacs shirts are great... If you have six arms.

OMFG, AND HOW DO I TYPE SHIT WITHOUT WRITING OVER EVERYTHING sorry for caps but this really resonated with me
InnerBushman
OH GOD! HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?!re, done that. I know what you mean.
InnerBushman
This comment is not appreciated enough. +1
ItsSupposedToLookLikeThat
Exactly! When i open vi, i simply close the entire shell
InnerBushman
Do you mean @404namecantbefound should kill -9 himself when he doesn't need the vi shirt anymore? A bit extreme measures IMHO :D
