Windows 10: Latest processors denied Win 7/8.1 updates

Reminds me of Terry Pratchett...

 

Hi there

I'm sure Linux will have some sort of kernel mods for it -- Linux doesn't necessarily have to go through the same processes to get stuff out of the door because there are always hobbyists etc working with it -- the downside of course is it might / might not work on all systems.

I use Linux as a server because I don't have to run the latest versions -- e. running CENTOS 7 (the Free clone of RHEL enterprise server used by zillions of companies around the world) --stable as a rock and for basic file / multi-media serving and Internet gateway it doesn't have to be running on leading edge hardware.

Hi there

@lx07

W10 running as a VM on Linux works perfectly - so no probs running Office 2016 etc.

However there's a reasonably good FREE clone which works also on Linux -- much better then openoffice or Libre office --doesn't have an email client though unfortunately but it it's really compatible with the rest of the standard Ms Office suite.

Best office run on Linux platform, WPS Office for Linux

Cheers

Try the free LibreOffice, actually cross-platform with Linux, Windows and Macintosh. It's quite similar to Microsoft Office and compatible with the file formats, even the discontinued Microsoft Works. Only downside is doesn't have a comparable E-Mail Client for Outlook. As for Games, it depends on whether the game programmers create for Linux, most don't, but there's a lot of different games available, just not the high-powered ones.
