it would be enough lure for me IF i could run linux only for all online activity, and neve3r allow windows to access the Internet- like i can do by dual booting- I don’t see how windows can be denied online access while allowing linux online access- I would think that under this new windows setup- linus would only be allowed Internet access through windows access? (Much like it works via virtual machines)
I guess I’m not understanding this- is it just for developers? And not like a full blown linux distro like mint on windows?
I’ve been running Windows 10 and Lubuntu on a Toshiba M400 for like forever now
I will never again run Windows if I can help it. That MicroSoft may end up needing Linux connected developers is sweet irony.
Just an aside fyi to all, If you haven’t run into “Secure Boot” yet, you will. Newer machines will only boot to Windows 10 or versions of Linux approved by MicroSoft. As of now that only includes Ubuntu and Red Hat. Turning off “Secure Boot” is a two step process, one in Win 10 and one in the BIOS. Why all this? It is to prevent malicious installations of Root Kits. If you turn it off, you’re vulnerable, so they say. Linux developers have to pay 100 dollars to get approved by MicroSoft. LOL.
For later perusal.
If Microsoft was smart they would embrace Linux with a complete Windows interface AND 100% compatibility with windows software.
Have to see how it plays out. Windows 10 is still a long way from the smokin’ desktop one can get from a recent Linux distro with Mate/Compiz. Trying to use the clunky multi-desktop feature of Windows is a bad experience compared to the spinning, wobbly windows of Mate/Compiz. But I like MS DevStudio. So...
Meh.
I’ll stick with a straight Linux distro install and use WINE to emulate what Windoze stuff I need.
