Windows 10

During the XP days I had all but switched to Linux. But Longhorn is just a better OS. For piracy and porn, Linux makes sense - for anything else, not so much. I don't engage in piracy or porn, so Linux has lost it's appeal.

I don´t know anything about Apple´s update policy. What is it about?

Actually, it is quite generous. All updates since 10.6 have been free and 10.6 only cost $20.

Apple doesn't even block installing the OS on Intel PCs, as long as they have the proper hardware. There are a number of sites that show you how to make your own "Hackintosh."

False. (at least you're consistent.)

So called hackintosh builds are illegal. The Apple TOS clearly prohibits running OSX on any non-Apple hardware.

{There is a reason we at LockerGnome don’t have Hackintosh tutorials on the site. It isn’t because these systems have a sketchy track record consisting of instability, a setup process that is usually too complex for the average user, or out of any fanboyism on the part of the writers. The primary reason is simply that doing so is in violation of the end-user license agreement (EULA) from Apple for OS X.}

Dunno, what this link mean. Can you help?
PC Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 Developer Beta 1 Mac PC set image 25 6 2015 - Nydus Underground

The the beta for OSX 10.11 has been hacked and is distributed on the Torrents.

The question isn't whether one can build a hackintosh - that is easy to do. edtheliar claimed that Apple doesn't block it - they most certainly do - in clear language in the TOS and EULA.

When OSX bowed to the pressure to support IO devices such a PCIE video cards, the ability to hardware check Apple hardware was lost. It's an Intel CPU and possibly an Nvidia or AMD GPU - but it is illegal and clearly stated as so.

At least, this helmet provides proper protection from headscrabs.

So I can download it and it won´t harm my computer? Would be interesting for a while. Sad that this page mostly features the crappiest file sharers. At least, it isn´t a torrent...

Yeah, it won't hurt your computer. You can set it up as a dual boot and play around all you like. Several people I know have set up virtual PC's and run hackintosh setups. But performance sucks that way. If you have the disk space, dual boot is a better option.

Thanks. Dual boot would be set up for sure.

This is the best Hackintosh site.

This is also an excellent Hackintosh site:

Going to check it out.

..... and that MS has really started to listen to the users.

That says it all lol.

Huh? Mint has numerous flavors, Cinnamon is not old school. I'm using the Cairo dock, very Mac like, plus I can use the menu if I want. Just because someone bends over for more Microsoft shit that doesn't make it better. Justifying your expense habits is a time honored tradition but hardly objective.

I ran Mint for awhile, I just find Ubuntu with Unity a much better presentation. In the end, Mint is really just Ubuntu.

During the XP days I had all but switched to Linux. But Longhorn is just a better OS. For piracy and porn, Linux makes sense - for anything else, not so much. I don't engage in piracy or porn, so Linux has lost it's appeal.

You're an idiot. Lots of scientific work and personal work is done on Linux. Many servers run it. Some countries use it officially. You don't know what you're babbling about. Drooling on your Microsoft baby bib is a poor substitute for information.

Ubuntu is based on Debian and Mint is based on Ubuntu. That doesn't make it the same. If you like Unity better that's your choice, there's many. I don't know what it is with you corporate goons but you need to get a grip with reality.

Oh and Windows 10 is an improvement because they are going back to a GUI from 1992.

I heard that about Windows 8. Win10 looks more modern.

And fortunately, one can change the themes, anyway...

Looks very plain to me. If you prefer the plain look that's fine but that doesn't make it "more modern".

Don´t cry about Windows all day. It doesn´t prevent people from using Linux.

I hate the look of this taskbar but the design of the windows is ok.

I didn't even mention Windows. Learn to read if you want to insult people.

It's very flat. Looks dated to me, that's what we had with little memory or processing power.

And how does it look anymore modern than this?

Nitpickers are free to replace the word Windows with Microsoft.

To me it looks quite eye friendly. I don´t even miss the aero effect on this window. Well, there has to be a third party tool to fix the taskbar and probably the start menu, though.
