I don't see how many people have so many problems with windows. I use a clean install on just about anything and it pretty much always just works and does so for months.
Stay away from anything Broadcom, AMD, Radeon and pick a decent SSD (Samsung 840 pro here) it's bomb proof.
The only playing around you have to do is on hardware that is way newer than the windows version and the network interfaces aren't supported.
- josteink 11y agoSo what you're saying is... Windows works fine if you shop hardware from known good vendors and nothing too bleeding edge? That sure sounds like what people said about Linux a decade ago. ;)
- batou 11y agoActually it works on anything out of the box but you might have to source some drivers for network cards so you can get to windows update for everything else. The best bit is on my older X201, it installs all the Lenovo official drivers as part of windows update. You install windows, wait about 15 minutes, then reboot when it tells you to and bam, sorted. That doesn't sound like Linux a decade ago ;)
- tingol 11y agoIt does actually, package managers in linux update all of your drivers along with you programs for more than a decade now...
