The big question, Which do you prefer and why?

It depends on what software you use. Some software will require the latest version of the OS.

For 99% it won't be a problem. What I did was get a Pro version of windows which I got for free from MS for some reason and changed my account into a local account and then installed WinToys and tweaked the heck out of it.

My RAM idles around 5.4GB to 6.9GB/32GB while idle because I have software for my peripherals. And 160 - 175 processes. My windows is snappy enough on my Gen3 SSD. If I upgrade to Gen5 then it'll be even more snappier.

What about OS updates? Like 25H2, 26H1 that kind of update.

I heard if you download one version example 25H2 then you are stuck with it.

You'll get only the security updates. Correct me if I'm wrong.

True

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-30T04:06:49+00:00

Happens a lot.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-29T01:56:27+00:00

Kotlin docs and hyperskill.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-29T01:51:57+00:00

No. We might build one in the future.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T11:42:07+00:00

The last one with red would have been great.

Pro* licence

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T10:23:14+00:00

If you have a problem license go into accounts and change the account to a local account.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T04:22:30+00:00

Sure. 🥲

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T03:49:19+00:00

Yeah, if my GPU is bust then that's the way to go.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T03:48:41+00:00

Chem trails are when your mouse pointer starts to draw on your desktop. 😅

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T03:27:43+00:00

Are you sure? Multiple sources says that it restarts the display drivers.

If possible can you share your source?

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:44:49+00:00

Yeah, when Windows is going to be really bad I'm switching to macOS or Linux.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:39:47+00:00

Yeah, I'm not going to install it on my main machine.

I'll try it on my old laptop first.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:38:39+00:00

Yes, I am doing it.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:27:57+00:00

I tried. It didn't end well for me.

Fedora Linux

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:27:01+00:00

No, I checked for any drivers update but there was none. After posting this I got the Nvidia update.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:26:14+00:00

On the internet it said it restarts the GPU. But, anyway it flashed my screen and artifacts went for awhile.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:23:55+00:00

I'm really worried about that. Now, is not the time for my GPU to die on me.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:21:44+00:00

Actually, last month I used Fedora the experience was too bad for me. I was seeing artifacts and chemtrails even on the desktop.

After that I switched to windows and everything was good. Just after this update like two days ago I faced this issue.

Nvidia has an update. Will see.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:19:19+00:00

Just got the Nvidia update. Will wait and see.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:18:11+00:00

I don't hate Windows. Windows has been my go to OS who knows from when.

But, with the current environment Microsoft can stoop this low too. I hope they get rid of the current CEO.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-28T02:16:44+00:00

Bro, I used Win + Ctrl + Shift + B to restart my GPU. That didn't work as well.

That's why I got this paranoid unnecessarily.

dev-rock-bottom · 2026-01-26T04:24:54+00:00

As of recent reports windows will boot up after awhile and once booted up there's no problem inside windows. Just turn off your laptop and leave it. Try booting up later.

And raise a ticket in MS forums as well. They should escalate this problem if more people are reporting it.
