Please tell me hiw to properly install windows
| You can install Linux but not Windows?
> [X] DOUBT
| Install FreeBSD. There's literally no objective reason to use Wangblows.
| ∆ Modern games. Latest programs. FL studios. Fairly more stable than the fragile Linux sandcastle. No frustration, well except from the bsod.
| And also op.
Just run through the setup?
| How do you want to install it, CD, USB...?
| this obviously a meme g/u/rls
| Stop meme-ing, this is linux circlejerk, go make another thread asking about how to install ubuntu

>Games
There's thousands of games for GNU/Linux.
>Latest programs
Package Managers. Need I to say more?
>Fairly more stable
You've got no clue what you're talking about. There's a reason why the overwhelming majority of webserver run either GNU/Linux or BSD, you want your webservers to have maximum uptime.
>Sandcastle
GNU/Linux is a modular system where you're not vendor-locked into a particular component. If you consider that a bad thing, by all means, use Windows.

If you need help with windows, a proprietary software provided commercially by a company, why do you ask people in a public board who do not get paid by microsoft to do service for them?
Just go to an computer store which is officially acknowledged by microsoft and pay for service. Microsoft is a proprietary monopoly, so they have to provide service for it, and should not rely on a community doing it for free.

Perhaps a bit contrary to your post, Microsoft has actually started to leverage free labour disguised as "Open Source" lately. Their acquisition of GitHub very clearly demonstrates that. Of course, they never ever mention the Freedom which using Free/Open Source gives you, since that alone has no monetary value to them. I'd also argue that their "involvement" in OSS is yet another EEE attempt with which they inevitably plan to monopolize market section.
| >>367163
You are totally right. But also other companies do/did that. Think about Oracle (Solaris, OOffice, JRE) or Apple (Darwin). Or Google.
The good thing is: they never managed to monopolize the market in a way microsoft did it (even though Google comes pretty close to it).
In the end open-source projects can be converted/forked into a free-software. This is always a threat to companys who suddenly close their stuff after sucking free labour from community. Think about Oracle.
| >>367283
Yes, those corporations too deploy tactics a bit similar to Microsoft. It all boils down to them:
- Using OSS as free marketing and labour
- Using the projects to get (young) developers to use their toolset and clouds
- Pretending to "love Open Source", while still keeping their core moneymakers proprietary.
Another issue is when they technically release a software as FOSS, but actually distribute it under a proprietary EULA, such as VSCode.

Then make a new thread about it instead of complaining about things unrelated to this thread.

| This linux windows shit is getting old hat, you neckbeards

I'm rather an autist than some mentally poor person who starts personal insulting others if he's out of arguments.
| Find windows LTSB edition, install that and remove and/or disable telemetry. You can thank me later

>Implying you can remove the botnet from Windows
Windows and Botnet are one and the same things, they've merged into one.
| >>378860 then just fucking block every IP request windows makes. It's not easy but it's also not rocket science
| >>367908
Microsoft owns hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. It's impossible to de-botnet MS Windows since it's proprietary software. There are obvious alternatives where you don't have to deal with such bullshit.
| just use ReactOS instead

>new doom
What's wrong with the old doom? Besides, video games are mostly a waste of time.
| Buy it from amazoom
| >>368138 it's not the new doom
Beside, why bother with windows if you are not going to play videogames? Duh
| Is the "install gentoo" meme acceptable here?
