That's a myth, Windows 10 is lighter than a fully patched Windows 7. It allowed Firefox to function on an old 1GB Eec PC which couldn't even boot without slowing to a crawl with Windows 7 that it shipped with. That being said, it worked better yet with Debian.
- Silhouette 11y agoYou're suggesting that because Microsoft's updates have managed to turn a previously working Windows 7 system into something unusably slow, it's a better bet to move to Windows 10, which works today but has mandatory updates? That seems illogical.
- tdkl 11y agoDespite I didn't like the 8.x because of the UI decisions and same with 10 which also forced telemetry, I agree with you. Both versions are actually an improvement vs. Windows 7. Which is the most sad part, because if they didn't went ape shit into the "one UI to rule the all" and "all your data are belong to us" mentality, the system would be pretty awesome. The closest now is the LTSB Enterprise edition, without the Metro crap and manageable telemetry and spyware. Even MS describes it as "system for mission critical computers". Sorry Mr. Nadella, I thought that the PC my niece bought with her money is mission critical enough to work when expected, without being rendered unbootable with dodgy updates.
