Rant about Windows 10 here! [formerly titled Share your Windows 10 experience!!]

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelib...

Cant switch from Integrated graphics to GPU

If I'm not mistaken, the dGPU on some laptops actually acts as a sort of accelerator. Meaning the iGPU renders everything on-screen, but the dGPU switches on intelligently depending on workload.

tl;dr. Intel and NoVideo don't want you to be able to choose one or the other. They act as one.

Honestly, the less association with those bums, the better.

I didn't pay any mind to a performance increase, if there is one. They said to ditch the VGUI (An extention internally developed for visuals such as the download statistics above i persume) and rely more on javascript along with plugins, and JS is known to suck system resources heavily.

For Intel, you're better off getting an -f series CPU. You're not going to be able to take advantage of the onboard graphics. So from the sounds of it, you'll have to rely on generic drivers until you get a discrete video card. Check Craigslist and Marketplace for some low power Quadro. A k420 or si...

Well after revisiting 2010 again after years of using 2007, I've returned to 2007 once more. 2010 is a fine product, but something about the interface did feel off to me. The full screen file menu as opposed to a small hamburger menu for one. Almost felt like a slight prelude to Windows 8? heh. The ...

8.0 is considerably easy to activate... erm, by alternate means. It's also far less aggressive to user mods, especially when it comes to branding files. I just had the most difficult time getting it updated to a later patch leve. This ISO will certainly see some usage here. Many thanks ^^
