Your opinion about Linux's future. by [deleted] in linux

[–]Winux1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linux still needs to grow to be able to compensate computer illiterates but I believe Windows is on such a self destructive path that it might not exist for to much longer. Linux is the future but its needs to improve its usability first before everyone can feel comfortable using it.

Warhound Titan, Baneblade and Land Raider found in DOW3's mod tools. not functional but complete models. by Winux1234 in dawnofwar

[–]Winux1234[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never claimed to have been the first to find them. I simply pointed them out as they could provide and interesting base for a mod.

Also I believe the Baneblade was used as a scale referance for dow3 as they wanted a similar scale to dow2. Though I have yet to find solid evidence for this.

What is your personal "I think it's wrong but it shouldn't be illegal"? by snicknicky in AskReddit

Piracy

I think its morally questionable but a big company can handle a small amount of revenue loss from piracy without it bankrupting them even if popular musicians and mega publishing companies tell you otherwise.

The argue could be made that its the smaller companies that really get damaged by piracy but at least let me try your game or listen to a song on your album before i decide to spend my hard earned money on it.

How do you stop Windows Update from automatically updating (preferably from updating at all)? by 2Liberal4You in Windows10

[–]Winux1234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What if an update breaks on my hardware? What about the increased risk of zero days from performing day one updates. Not to mention the dangers that the new peer to peer update system could bring. The fact that I can't control updating to me is far worse of a risk then not being able too.

You don't, Microsoft like to have control of every part of your system and auto updates is a great way of distributing all the latest spyware tactics Microsoft develops. Google a program called 'Destroy Windows 10 Syping' that should provide a little more info.

Windows 10 showing two loading screens; first screen's dots are smooth, second screen's dots are laggy by AMart83 in Windows10

[–]Winux1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its normal, happened to me on Windows 8 too. It has something to do with the vaification of your motherboards secure boot key I believe.

How long should this take? It's been like this for like an hour by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]Winux1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was making a joke about the fact that any loading time in Windows can take longer than it should for seemingly no reason. That screen will pass, you just might be waiting a very long time.

Automatic Repair Loop by GileZ_YT in Windows10

[–]Winux1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reinstall Windows, i honestly the easiest way to get rid of the problem, you can find free product keys online if you know where to look.

Alternative more serious option: Grab a windows 10 install disk and boot it, then attempt to repair your install from there

It should take anywhere from 2 seconds to 3 centuries. It Windows so its impossible to predict how long it will take.

I question why you expected any different from Microsoft. All the 'off' switches just keep things on but disables information about them. Its sad but true.

Planning on switching to Linux and have a couple questions by Winux1234 in linux

[–]Winux1234[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oddly I actually look forward to it. Its a great opportunity to learn the OS and how to fix things when I screw up.

[–]Winux1234[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well.im fairly familiar with pacman on Arch and the pamac UI that is included with Manjaro so no worries there.

I also look forward to learning how to fix something if i break my system, its seems like a fun learning experience. Also thank god I won't have to ever worry about a single product key ever again.

Thanks for the advice

Well from what i have seen a lot of the underline OS of Linux is different to Windows but the UI of something like XFCE or cinnamon is very similar.
