nah they are being backed up on microsoft china platforms servers instead."To help reduce the overall disk footprint size of Windows"
That´s classic.

Weird flex bro.
Well that's it, I'm uninstalling windows 10 and switching to Linux (said no one ever).
Why uninstall when you can dual boot? I haven't abandoned Windows 10 for gaming, but the rest of my time is spent in Linux. I do all my general computing/programming in Linux and only boot to my Win 10 partition when I want to game. All of the applications I use regularly are available on both OSes so the transition to Linux was pretty simple. Even the IDE I used at work (retired now), Code Composer Studio, is available under Linux. The one application I miss the most in Linux is AutoHotKey
It's their OS, they can do what they want with it. A lot/most? people and business's have to use it. Gamers? Some games need 10, same with VR.
Not much the user can do about it. I wish Linux would get some serious love.

Excellent! What distro are you going with?So out of nearly a billion users you're one of the few that use Linux. Welp that convinced me to switch over!
It has. The most hevaily developed... most expensive OS in existence is Linux. The main road block for most consumer type users if finding the correct Distro. Their are distros for every use and that is where the confusion comes in. Most of the negative things people have to say about Linux come down to people trying to force the wrong Distros to operate as a server or a consumer desktop. On the consumer desktop type use which includes games... Manjaro and Solus are the best place to start. 90% of your windows game library will just work. (yes in most cases you will drop a bit of performance, but not quality) A lot of games do look better in Linux as the Linux drivers don't cheat. If you don't care about gaming at all... there are plenty of good workstaiton distros out there but Suse is the best of them imo.
Your not wrong about some of the high end of it such as VR. Yes for the best support your still sort of stuck with windows right now. Windows VR titles do mostly work under steam play... of course perofrmance is more of an issue. If you look at the proton database many of the VR titles are gold/silver status, few are platinum. Its still a bit of a sore spot for steam play compatabilty. And of course even on 1080/2080 class hardware dropping even 10% in VR performance is more noticable... vs dropping 10% on non VR stuff where games are already running above the 70-140ish hrz refresh rates of our monitors anyway. At the speed Valve has been pushing DXVK though... I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing at least some of the major VR titles moving to platinum status this year.
One other option to consider though if you have a nice VR setup.... especially if you have a intel chip with a built in GPU. Pass through. Run windows in a VM.
I've never tried Manjaro but you make me want to try it. I have always gone with Ubuntu MATE or Mint.
Because we are talking between 50 to 100 MB (as stated in the article) of pretty crucial data. You even said it yourself , it´s a ridiculous solution.

So why are you ball aching people who have a problem with it?Crucial for whom?
Look, the home user is one thing, an Enterprise is something else entirely. As an Enterprise guy, I'm not restoring a system registry. My user's data are stored in the SAN and I don't have time to fiddle fuck around with a workstation. I'd tell the user to use one of the guest machines and image that bitch. In an hour or so the workstation is back on-line and the user is back in their cubby.

You could always use something like that... it sounds like you would be capable of picking up some python wihtout to much issue. Their are also a few simple tools like xdotool if you just want to use a bit of simple mouse manipulation in your bash scripts. Their are other specialized little programs that do the same type of stuff. Although you are retired and do know some codefu you might have the time to build a few of your own tools.
Nope.gifMore like people that use computer for more than gaming migrated to linux years ago.
So the software for windows is good, but the OS sucks.Nope.gif
More and better productivity suites on Windows. It isn't and won't be the year of Linux desktop for a very long time, if ever.
Nothing "sucks", especially not more than Linux. .So the software for windows is good, but the OS sucks.
I was just going by what you said. The software is better, but said nothing about the OS.Nothing "sucks", especially not more than Linux. .
Eh, no. Why would I bother relearning what already worked?I was just going by what you said. The software is better, but said nothing about the OS.
Since if you could use them on all platforms, windows would go in the gutter. Linux is just as easy to use.

Except MS themselves.Well that's it, I'm uninstalling windows 10 and switching to Linux (said no one ever).
More like sys admins and some developers did that. I know a lot of engineers and software devs and the vast majority run windows at home. In fact, most run Windows at work, but there are some that use linux but there's some logic there, since all of our software is written for a Linux back end.More like people that use computer for more than gaming migrated to linux years ago.
Well that's hardly limited to MS. I can't count the number of times we've gotten software that has a huge issue, and the vendor says it's working as designed. ME: Well then your design is flawed.The main issue with this as wtih most MS PR fuck ups. Isn't that backing up the registry is some mission criticl anything. Its that they claim to knowinlgy have disabled a feature... and let people think it was still working. If your going to disable it... why not have the software right up say. Registry backup disabled. Why did they disable it on the back end and allow the front end to continue reporting something that wasn't happening.
As a bug its a woops... all well stupid feature anyway. By design (disabled on the backend with front end not saying boo) its complete BS.
I am not sure I buy their by design assertion... it more sounds like a bug someone didn't want to own. I have no idea why perhaps MS drops your bonus payments if your responsable for bugs. lol
Also has MS not heard of backup cacheing. If they where truely worried about space... why not add a simple cache level feature. (Number of registry backups to retain) Set it to 3 and it keeps the 3 most recent backups and deltes the rest. MS could easily set the default on such a cache to 1 or even zero if they are really worred about peoples storage space. lol
Except MS themselves.

It might not be on desktops everywhere, but linux runs the world.
As computings goes cloud only, desktops will matter very little.
Well not 100% ... And don't get me wrong, in many ways I don't like where computing is heading... However if we are going to talk " vast majority" I don't think we disagree thats where we are headed. At some point it will matter little what os a device runs, only which services it connects to.Desktop will never go cloud only. Not everyone is excited about storing all their data on corporate servers. Just like how Stadia will be a colossal failure.
To each their own. While not perfect, I find the Windows 10 start menu to be a vast improvement over the Windows 7 start menu, once customized to my liking (using the default customization options, not any replacement program). Never used registry backup, and rarely ever used system restore, and I've been working on other people's computers for a long time. Just don't need those features usually.
So why are you ball aching people who have a problem with it?
Or it could be people are also mad because they were not told it wasn't working? If it still says it is, then that is wrong.I'm not. I'm bashing on people who grandstand and exaggerate problems for effect.
I'm saying that this is not a problem for 800 million users, it's a problem for far fewer than that. And even then, it's not even all that much of a problem for the remainder. Most users don't have anything worth worrying about to begin with. But what do I care really? This guy can make mountains out of mole hills if that's what he enjoys doing. Just don't expect the world to get indignant over nothing along with him.
Or it could be people are also mad because they were not told it wasn't working? If it still says it is, then that is wrong.
I mean, if you agree with companies lying to you, good for you.
So your opinion, gotcha.Nope, it is a Mountain, molehill sort of thing.......
So your opinion, gotcha.
He wasnt grandstanding, it seems you are in opposition to his basic common sense approach, baffling.I'm not. I'm bashing on people who grandstand and exaggerate problems for effect.
I guess your still on a windows phone device as well right... or are you still rocking a OG blackberry ? Things change, no one is forcing you too... but chance happens whether you accept it or not.
And what productivity suite ? What Adobe crap ? lol Outside of the dying adobe products almost every major professional package has a Linux version these days. The professional space went from Mac to Windows and it has been slowly going Linux (unifying the workstation and server bits) for sometime now. MS suite of stuffs is cloud based... and there isn't much forcing anyone to stick with windows anymore.
The United States has approximately 1.3 million active-duty troops, with another 865,000 in reserve .....
