You do know that Andriod is based upon linux and most server operations also use linux because it is that much more secure.
Right, it's a stripped-down Linux version that's significantly simpler compared to Windows. It's designed to run on smaller-scale devices and run simpler tasks. So yeah... apples and oranges in most ways.
Also I broke my usb bluetooth adapter yesterday from having to physically remove and insert it that often to get the damn thing to connect, thank you MS....user experience fuck...
That sucks, and I'm still not sure where the problem lies in my own USB issues. If I ran Linux on this same hardware, would that clear everything up? I don't know the answer to that, but I would tend to lean 'hardware' on these problems, and perhaps the USB format itself.
If I didn't need windows to run VP it would be gone...
So there's no way to emulate some form of Windows in Linux? IIRC such was possible with AppleOS some time back...
Win10 just did a big update over here and I've indeed had some minor problems, like some of my system settings getting reset multiple times.
The problems mentioned in the article do sound like a pain (particularly Win10 not starting at all for some people?!), but remember-- that's a general roundup of multiple annoyances for an enormous user base. Going by the buzz, most users aren't affected, and if they are, it's with pretty minor stuff (like I was), and if they don't want to wait for M$ to patch, there are indeed temporary workarounds. On balance it's annoying, but nothing too crazy to me. Almost like a metaphor for life.
Again, to be clear: I'm not really trying to defend Windows, here. To me, Windows is a shameless, inefficient ripoff of the AppleOS, similar to the majority of M$ products. Problem for me is, until more key apps convert to Linux, I'm willing to ride out the bumps for the time being, with a future goal of converting over. I would hope that most Win-users feel the same way. And I do envy Linux users, no question about it.
EDIT: You know I still have major CFS issues (hopefully to finally be treated in a few months), and that indeed has a huge impact on how much time and energy I have for extra projects, like messing with Linux, or building a more-powerful machine, or getting back in to VP design, or any number of things I'd love to be doing with my life, like converting one of my bikes to an e-bike. Point is-- if things break right for me, I expect to have more energy for getting in to Linux, not too far down the road.
