Win 10 on the wife's machine. The kids spend more time on Apple / Android devices but use her PC on occasion. My employer is Win only for end users, but we're still on Win 7.

Refusing 10 myself, for now. I only looked at 8, w less than 3 hours of use. (I used various tips, and then Spybot's Anti-Beacon to stop the notices and telemetries.) I've had an unrealistic wish that open source would kick butt with new tech.
To be honest, If I had a This Gen CPU, I'd have 10 installed, and locked-down to the best of my ability, and would TRY to use it as little as possible.
Thanks for being there!

The only reason I still use windows is for Gaming.If you don't game you will never need windows or you could use Wine but not for me..
I still find Windows 8.1 the best i make the iso with nLite with all security updates and SP3 but no other updates if you dont want Telemetry to deal with and (windows updates Turned off and never on)
You can download all windows updates from 7 up to 10 and some office versions with windows update mini tool or wsusoffline109
Windows 10 works find but it is very contolling, you have no say in the matter as far as updates go....as will as the spyware to deal with..

You use Linux :number1:

My wife's laptop has Win 8.1, and my main AMD desktop has Win 7. But those are kept because of proprietary programs that have to have windoze. And with no Linux version available, you are stuck. But my laptop has Antix-16 and MX-16 as dual-boot as so does my main AMD desktop.

From what I had read about the plans of Microsoft with 10 and Office, I refused to be blackmailed to use an O.S.

I guess I spend over 95% of my time with with MX-16. It does almost everything I need without costing me the same as my internet service.

Have you tried running it on our wine-staging?
There are some tricks to it, like if you are running MX 64 bit, you may need to setup wine to run 32 bit.

Some work and some not so much. I have adobe photoshop 5.5 running on wine-staging on my 64 bit MX 16 desktop just like it did on my since converted XP machines. I even still have the old win 3.1 rollodex called cardfile on here too. I use it for passwords & phone numbers. - mike
