RE: Windows 8? - BunnyJ - 02-10-2014
I, for some reason, like Windows 8.1
It only took me about an hour to get used to 8 and much less to adjust my PC to 8.1
Still. For most Windows 7 is the way to go.

You should never go with windows 8, it's an os built for tablets and phones, our desktops and laptops deserve a decent os, i suggest windows 7 as a main and dualboot linux kali, just like i did.

Use windows 7. Windows 8 is something you use and then throw out of the window. Microsoft has been lately forcing its things upon us, whether we want it or not. Windows 7 was a pretty awesome Os and microsoft decided to finger in our ass and built windows 8, which is really not a better os that windows 7, or even xp.
So, stick to windows 7 and feast on Ubuntu. Thats exactly what i do.

In my own experience with Windows 8 I won't say its crap like others like to say. It is pretty good... Maybe for gaming its not the best choice bet it is very good for working.
I suggest to give it a go. Try to use it for few weeks and if you still don't like it then install different OS.

Hello Everyone,
I am having trouble and I need your help. Any input is welcome.
I have been using windows 8 for like 9 months now and I liked it. The performance is good, not like what others are saying - to be fair with windows 8 users. If you are a slow learner and have not tried it - you just seen a picture of what windows 8 looks like - please don't go saying windows 8 sucks, cause it had fair improvements. (Even though windows really suck overall)
Here's my problem.
I used to run my pc on Windows 7 with 2GB RAM. And then 4 months later, my boss asked me to try windows 8 for him and I fell in love with UI. In my defense, I am a practical person and I always choose performance over looks. But my PC can take the UI. Going back to my problem. From then I am using windows 8 and reported anything good I find in windows 8 like, it boots fast and then I upgraded my RAM 3 days after using windows 8. I added 4GB RAM with the same frequency, 2GB = 1600 and 4GB 12800/1600, I noticed that my PC shuts off like the power has been directly pulled from the outlet, after awhile it turns back on.
I think it was my RAM's problem so I tried removing either of the RAMs but still experiences the whole thing, like "poof!" shuts off and 4 to 7 seconds after, it turns back on.
Note that from the first 3 days, I have not used windows 8 for large processes, like using 80% of the CPU capacity all the time.
Another note, I can't remember that I experienced this thing when I was using windows 7 even when I play games.
I also think it's because of PC tempare (PC Shuts off again when I was typing this line) because my PC Gets too hot. However, why didn't I experienced this thing when I was using windows 7, I had 2 GB of RAM then and used it very harsh with games and other processes.
Does windows 7 have better tolerance of PC temp? IDK... I am asking to kill my ignorance.
Please help me.
Your friendly HCzen,

I suggest you not to install any of these 3 operating systems, if Windows is so needed for you install them on VM.If its about a Debian based distro I suggest you install Debian 7. Else for Red-Hat based give a try on Cent OS 7 I think its really worth to. Arch Linux is always in the game of course.Thats my recomendations I hope I helped you out on that.
