Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
Well, servers have OpenBSD, desk/laptop have openSUSE, cluster has Pelican Linux, thinclient PC has Plan9, smartphone has Sailfish OS.Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
Where do I start...
I have 7 on my primary PC, 10 on laptop (with Ubuntu 16.04 on dualboot), Ubuntu 16.04 on NAS, Ubuntu 14.04 on main server, Debian 7 on OpenVZ VPS.
Oh, and Android 6.0 (CM13) on my Galaxy S4 smartphone and Android 4.4 on a cheap Huawei tablet.
I also have a hybrid tablet with broken screen which has Windows and Android on dual boot.
I also have 3 raspberry pis, two running LibreELEC (Kodi), and one running OpenWRT serving as a 4G ethernet bridge.Last edited by ddscentral; 01-14-2017, 07:55 PM.Comment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
Still preferring W7 for the time being , 64 bit of course for better Memory Rams and Cpus readings . There are strong links between Operating systems , Cpus and Rams , and no one can disregard it ..Windows 10 of course seems the upcoming trap , speaking higher Rams and Cpus , so little choices we have on the long run .Comment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
I run Linux on my primary PC. I'm running OpenSuSE Tumbleweed. It's a rolling distribution, which means I don't have to reinstall when a newer version comes out. My wife, however, runs Windows 10 64-bit on her laptop. This is kind of a good thing though, because having it installed, I was able to learn it. When it comes to repairing PCs, it's good to know the various operating systems. I plan on installing Windows Server 2012 sometime in the near future, when I get some free time.-- Law of Expanding Memory: Applications Will Also Expand Until RAM Is FullComment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
Windows 10, of course.
On multiple machines.
I run OpenSUSE on one or the other machine. Not that satisfied though.
But it's not lik other Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Mint are better...Comment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
I used to run Ubuntu and Mint, but I actually prefer OpenSuSE better. I think it depends on what you're really looking for. I prefer the terminal and find OpenSuSE a bit more suited towards my needs. I felt Ubuntu was a bit too user friendly. That's just how I feel though.-- Law of Expanding Memory: Applications Will Also Expand Until RAM Is FullComment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
Have not decided yet, it January after all
It's leaning heavily towards Server 2016 though.

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
Because Windows 10 has DX12 support and is the best Windows so far.
I don't understand the hate of the "forced" updates. M$ had to do it, after some especially knowledgable people just never patched their system ever and switched off any update functionality.
Because if there is an exploit found you want it to be fixed ASAP and not be exploited, do you?!
And that's the problem with Software: Noone really cares about the security of the software. And does some real stupid shit...
And the lawmakers aren't up to it as well...
If I'm able to pass a law, I'd make YOU responsible for keeping the system up to date. If you don't -> Jail or at least 90 Tagessätze (per diem rate in english??) to pay for your stupidity. And a 'Computer Security course'...
Oh and what's the alternative? MacOS?! Android??Comment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
I'd like to chime in. Security updates (or any update) should never be forced upon a user. It should always be the user's option to upgrade. I see nothing wrong with having automatic updates turned on by default, where they get installed if you don't change something, but there should always be a way to turn it off.
Believe it or not, sometimes you want the system exploitable. Also, some of the updates (I'm referring to non-security updates, but even security updates) can break software sometimes, believe it or not.
That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you wanting to run Windows 10. If you're okay with their privacy policy, go for it. If someone isn't, they simply don't have to install it.-- Law of Expanding Memory: Applications Will Also Expand Until RAM Is FullComment

Re: The 2017 Operating System Thread
If you get Windows Server 2016, can you let me know how that is Per Hansson, maybe in a PM? Also, do you have any experience with any of the Windows Server 2012's?-- Law of Expanding Memory: Applications Will Also Expand Until RAM Is FullComment

Hello everybody!
To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.
The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer... -
I'm hoping someone can help me with a 2017 MacBook Air A1466 820-00165 that is running very slow. This is a board that I picked up on ebay recently.
This is not being caused by a sensor issue. All sensors report normal operation and the fans run at normal speed. Geekbench gives me a single core CPU value of 124, when it should be closer to 400. I was unable to complete an install on the SSD without putting it into a different computer first.
The board appears clean with no sign of liquid damage. I have done a PRAM and SMC reset, and I have done a reflow of the SMC. I have inspected... -
The laptop is Apple Macbook A1534 2017 with board 820-00687-А. The USB-C tester shows no voltage, there is 820-00244-А board available. I looked at both schematics, all connector signals seem to be the same. Did someone try to fit 820-00244-А board in A1534 2017?05-11-2025, 01:08 AM -
Hello there
I have problem with Macbook Pro 15" 2017, model 2017, MB code 820-00928.
I bought it as broken with some artefacts on the screen, first I thought that this is problem with ribbon cable but after inspectiing ribbon cable I know it is fine. I tried to reinstall macOs and then I figured out that this must be something with GPU as installation freezes at the end (when drivers are loaded). I installed Windows and was able to install every each of drivers except GPU driver, as soon as I tried to install GPU driver - black screen and restart.
