I have a CNC machine that I control from windows. Windows 10 forced a hard shutdown for updates while I was running a job the other day. No notion that the software was running an active program, no observation that active processing and I/O was underway. I HATE windows. It seems to have more irrational and user hostile defaults than any other system. I'm sure that if I were better about it I could craft an image that worked better, and I could disable stupid things, but in a workshop I never want cortana. If I had wanted it, I'd be playing Halo...
Windows 7 was fine, but the spammy feature bloat is so frustrating.
- swiley 9y agoIf you're going to bother making an image you might as well just learn buildroot and switch to linux.
- abakker 9y agoI am tied to Mach3 at the moment, which only runs on windows. I've thought about LinuxCNC before, but there seem to be issues supporting my machine. Otherwise, yeah, I would happily be running Linux.
