Windows 10

Installed it and all seemed OK. Welcome return for the start menu and it was pretty quick.

I then noticed that Kaspersky Internet Security had stopped working. Sure enough, it's not yet compatible with Windows 10. Rolled back to 8.1.
Depending on your version, Kapersky is compatible https://blog.kaspersky.com/windows-10-compatibility/

If you do have an older version wouldn't it have been easier to change your antivirus at least until they've caught up with your version?
 
I only installed Kaspersky 2015 a month ago.
I don't use it myself but according to that blog it is compatible, I'd be astounded if it wasn't.

Edit: ahh, "Patches for 2014 product versions will be available on 30 July. For PURE 3.0, 2013 and earlier 2015 versions patches will be available on 2 September."

Which is just dumb.
 
Now that a decent number of games that I play have native Linux clients thanks to SteamOS, I have no reason at all to switch back to Windows. The Civ games, EU4/CK2/Cities: Skyline/Mount and Blade/all other Paradox titles, the Football Manager series and many others all run natively on Linux and they are the bulk of the game playing that I do.

The programming tools are better, I prefer command line for system maintenance than searching around an increasingly thickened Control Panel with confusing descriptions, and maintenance of Bluemoon's servers and DB is much, much easier. Also in development terms as the server also runs on a Linux variant, just having a proper local testbed setup rather than using a remote one saves an awful lot of time.

Not a fan of Ubuntu as GNOME is ugly as fuck but Kubuntu uses KDE/Plasma and is lovely.

I was into Windows 10 during the beta but found quite a few compatability problems with older programs (Football Manager 2012 will just patently not run on it at all for example whereas it runs perfectly under WINE), and I'm not a big fan of the privacy violating options that are controversial. It's an excellent operating system for the use case of just wanting a computer to work properly without much pissing about, and the interface is a million times better than previous versions but it's not for me personally.

I've not played around with Linux for donkey's years. I've upgraded mine and the sons PCs in the last 12 months so should have enough bits around to make a suitable guinea pig for a Linux box. Kubuntu it is then.

Sure is! Really like Kaspersky but this is bloody annoying.

I am finding no problems at all with Windows 10 as of yet the bugs haven't surfaced but with all OS's eventually they will because nothing is perfect. But when I fancy a change I boot into Linux Mint which for me personally is the best of the bunch and an OS I am familiar with but if I were to choose I would choose Windows because of it's ease of use, wine as you say is a godsend in Linux distros.

Tbh I would've put my house on the fact that you used Linux and only did windows during Beta.
 
Is it a laptop or desktop you're using? I can see laptops having problems due to driver issues but if it's a more or less standard desktop then there's probably drivers already out there, you just need to Google the manufacturers website.

Were all you folks who have upgraded on the Insider programme or did you force it?

Using a laptop. All drivers have been update, all hardware is running as it should. There's a known issue with Cortana, where it has to be set up as US English, then switched across for it to work. Not too much work to sort, but should never be a bug on a RC!

As for the save issue, I've finally got that one sussed after going back to it and looking at it for about 30 seconds. Seems that all folders copied across during the upgrade had set themselves as Read Only. Once I unchecked this on Pictures, Music, Downloads and Videos, I had full control again. Just in case anyone else is having the same issue :)
 
Whenever I click on "Desktop" in the file explorer it's empty, there's nothing there. Is there something I can do to fix that?
