how about using an actual operating system? :P

Just use a base OS that has what you need? :D

or use Linux instead of Windows..

nemothekid | karma 13576 | avg karma 4.48 · | 2022-07-20 11:01:43

Just build my own operating system, ok.

jedimastert | karma 3886 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2017-01-12 14:11:21+00:00

Or maybe take out the operating system

You're already using a hobbyist operating system... Your horse isn't as high as you think.

This question has been around since I connected to the internet. The response has always been to use a reasonably decent OS.

No, shitty operating systems make that impossible.

lofaszvanitt | karma 316 | avg karma 0.38 · | 2024-01-06 00:22:52

Yeah, I have two, and there is no way to put some proper OS on them :~((.

juststeve | karma 441 | avg karma 1.59 · | 2019-02-21 20:30:06

An alternative: Use a dedicated Linux machine as your main OS, and then run windows on a separate device when you need it.

loloquwowndueo | karma 3657 | avg karma 3.17 · | 2023-08-04 18:17:48

Or you could, you know, migrate to another OS like Linux or MacOS ;)

egberts1 | karma 2195 | avg karma 0.71 · | 2022-12-28 21:05:05

Really need to replace the OS with something flexible like FreeBSD or Linux, then the possibility becomes limitless.

ezoe | karma 2344 | avg karma 3.32 · | 2020-06-07 18:37:49+00:00

Only good option is nuke the Windows and use the better OS, like GNU/Linux, FreeBSD or OpenBSD etc.

JetSpiegel | karma 3479 | avg karma 1.41 · | 2023-08-23 07:52:04

Sure, use unsupported OS. You can always install Windows XP for maximum stability.

nammi | karma 111 | avg karma 2.41 · | 2023-06-08 18:00:37

That may be a good idea, but I honestly haven't looked into it. My preference is for operating systems to just work, rather than me change all my motherboards to accommodate them

pjmlp | karma 109153 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2013-09-11 18:52:30

No thanks. I rather user proper computers with usable OS.

s_Hogg | karma 897 | avg karma 3.31 · | 2019-12-29 14:43:41+00:00

This is quite helpful, thanks. What would prompt someone to go this way, I wonder? There are some pretty minimal OS options out there these days.

Zardoz84 | karma 1454 | avg karma 1.15 · | 2024-06-24 21:56:53

Or just use a Linux distro and avoid all M$ shit

khedoros1 | karma 2911 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2017-02-03 00:31:27+00:00

Option 3: Use an OS (or at least OS version) that offers better defaults, while still running the software that you need.
