@deadlyRants Which is one of the reasons I chose a version that I can control updates on.

This article tries to convince you this behavior is good. Well it fucking isn't. They just want to sell your data to the highest bidder. They are no different than apple and google. All fuck faces.

@Fast-Nop Which is a self-reinforcing decision because the few power users they got back with the terminal and WSL will now want to leave again. And while it may take a year or two to admit that you made a bad decision, for something as cheap as an OS it won't take more than that.

@Fast-Nop Kinda stuck with it. I need to develop so I can test for my target platforms.
Also, can you play fallout 4 in Linux? I really don't want to deal with nvidia in linux at this point in my life. -
@Demolishun Then make a VM and configure pass through. Linux works fine on integrated, and Microsoft can analyse the fuck out of what little information your Fallout habit can yield.

@homo-lorens People paint themselves into a corner on application level because they don't think that far ahead.
@Demolishun You just bought a laptop with Nvidia graphics. Your decision.

Yeah, lite 👍🏻
I got a new computer. Ended up getting a Sager Laptop. I also ended up getting Windows 10 Pro. I had forgotten how shitty Windows 10 has gotten. My biggest gripe are the start button (fixed using open shell) and the creation and adding users. Microshit goes out of their way to trick you into getting a POS MS account. I knew the trick when my PC first started to stay offline so MS could not force a MS account. However, I added a user later and again they are fucking with you to force a user account. Figured out which non-descript place to click to just add a local account. This is shitty behavior of an OS. Especially one that claims to be Pro. This is not how to win customers. It just aggravates people that know what they are doing.
The bright side to this is could take out my frustration after I moved my Fallout 4 setup to the new computer. Mod Organizer 2 makes it easy to move everything at once. Configured one config file and boom I can now run it on Ultra settings. Explode a few skulls and reduce a few more to radioactive ash/goo. Frustrations are gone. lol
Also on the bright side with running Pro. I can select Update control via group policy. This doesn't seem to work on Home.
