Hotaru makes me want to install Windows.>>103291134Linux doesn't have Hotaru threads on /g/ though.
>>103291144>Linux doesn't have Hotaru threads on /g/ though.Weren't these Momoka Sakurai threads not too long ago?
>>103291336>Momoka SakuraiIdk who that is or if that's true, Hotaru is all I see at the moment though and she's a 10/10. Unlike Windows 10.

>>103291056Powershell is based.That is all.
Is Thunderbird still the best email client?
>>103291766Yes. Unfortunately.
Wish this thread wasn't living in the 1920s and embraced Insider Preview.
>>103291665>Gamer scumNo you have it wrong. Linux is for the midwits who don't understand that Linux virtualization is better than Windows virtualization or garbage like Wine.

does anyone here unironically use windows 7 as their daily driver?
I love Windows!
>>103292294No, because Win 10 IoT LTSC 2021 is just better.
>>103291056HOTARUUUUSEXOOOOOOOO
>but i don't wanna switch to linux i wanna keep using windows 10
>>103293403Then don't succumb to peer pressure? Linux is nothing special - just install it in Hyper-V or WSL.
>have time to waste>put win 10 iot ltsc on old laptop>HDMI stops working>says can't project and need to switch video card/update driverIt's also slower than before (on a debloated 10 install), no longer has blue light filtering (even with custom programs) but that doesn't bother me since I just used for a very specific purpose. You guessed it, projecting stuff.I tried disabling wumt to download driver updates, attempted deleting both video drivers and then restarting, no luck so far. Do I give up and reinstall a standard issue windows or is there any fix?
>>103293558how old are we talking? technically the drivers LTSC gets you are the same GAC would get you, so maybe there's another issueIn old PCs Windows Update sometimes gets you the wrong drivers, you can try and use SDIO to see which drivers work for you, or if possible, check if the manufacturers page still has the drivers for your model
>>103293965>how old are we talking?2017. It was a fairly good "gaming laptop" back then (lol).
>Disable real Time protection >You can turn off this option temporarily but it will be enabled automatically after some time, sweetie :)Are they for real? What the fuck are you talking about nigger? I know what I'm doing and I turned it off, why would you enable it "automatically"?
>>103293403Still have a full 7 years left to use Win 10 IoT LTSC.That's plenty of time for Linux to get better.
>>103294712Just add your commonly used filepaths to the exclusions list
>>103294712>user: disable real time protection toggle ON>OS: it's only temporary, user-kun>user: disable_realtime_protection.reg>OS: NANI?!?!
>>103294712Retard doesn't know he can set exclusions on entire drives - why would you? Defender actually works well.
Is there a good replacement for windows explorer that still has its own file thumbnails and shit? I keep getting issues it icon cache all the time, and not a single stackoverflo or even reddit thread back to 2016 found a solution to it.
>>103291378You're so butt hurt right now, you silly boy!

>>103294712>Plz don't mock me if you see me smashing my head in repeatedly with a brick>You can turn off this option temporarily but it will be enabled automatically after some time, sweetie :)One day you'll realise what a retard you are, and the above will make sense to you.
>>103295772I've seen lots of people heap praise on Directory Opus but it's payware to use (and I wouldn't bother downloading a warez version of it.)You have others like Files, Xplorer and Explorer++ which also might be good for you.
>>103295772Virtually all "Explorer replacements" don't actually replace the Windows shell on any meaningful level. Explorer.exe does little more than create windows, then passes control to the real "shell" code, most of which lives in libraries such as shell32.dll - when you take apart these "replacements", you'll find they also just create windows and pass control to shell32.dll.TL;DR: if you're having trouble with a function as basic as thumbnails, no common-as-mud Explorer replacement is going to help you.

What's the best way to back-up a Hyper-V VM? Shutting it down, merging the vhdx then copying it to another drive manually sucks
gaymen handheld owner here. is there truly no way to make windows less awful to work on onn a 7-inch touchscreen?
Hotaru is alright but I don't like how she replaced lolis
