Using Windows 10, and used to use Ubuntu on a VM. Due to space constraints, the VM was deleted, so maybe I will do it again some other time.
I am currently using a laptop because even though a desktop would make a lot of things faster for me (e.g. Lightroom), I'm constantly on the move between Uni and my home, so... portability is the huge factor.
So far, Windows 10 is pretty stable. Sometimes there is an odd crash or so, and an occassional BSOD, but it's not very rampant anymore. I also turned off automatic updates and only restart at my own convenience. Something to do with renaming or moving some system files so that the auto-restart command or .exe cannot be found through a default name search.
On another note, I am called cool-tempered and patient by many people. Little did they know, that I am pure, unadulterated rage when it comes to a computer slowing down or showing all kinds of errors. I don't damage my stuff, but I cursed so hard under my breath, "Stupid Windows 10 POS, stupid MS, good hardware, crappy software... etc."

Anyone have ever get the same thing?

It appears to be bad coding in a ad network, but you should not accept any download unless really you know where it comes from.

The software is at no cost and it has nice features but the downside is- so much software I'm familiar with, isn't available to the Linux world. I have to find or use substitutes or best effort equivalents. But I suppose that is the cost of it being free.

Imperializt Russia wrote:So I had an unfortunate incident last night. I was playing Stellaris, having finally turned a somewhat doomed save into a promising one.
And the computer completely crashed. New-look "something went wrong:( " BSOD and all.
But then it wouldn't reboot. For a couple hours it just kept trying to reboot and being unable to with the BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO message. I tried a system restore (to two days prior) to no effect and in the end had to Reset 'the PC' (which really meant my C: drive with my OS), automatically reinstalling the OS.
I've not been able to test anything since I'm at work now and will be going straight home for the weekend. Stellaris is not a remotely taxing game on my PC. It suffers from frame-dropping, especially on higher game speeds, but never problematic temperatures.
I guess my OS crashed and corrupted, but wouldn't a system restore have fixed that?
All my data on the C: drive seems to be intact, tucked away in Windows.old and it boots and runs fine now, and the E: drive seems untouched.

I am sceptical of this, since supporters of Free and Open Source Software do not take Microsoft too kindly.

Can anyone recommend this model if someone wanted a traditional laptop and only had $600 to spend?
I would perhaps get it, but I'm waiting until sometime next year before I finally get a replacement for my current hardware. Something better might come out but if the time to buy was this year, it is a likely candidate for me. I like that it comes with a dedicated graphics card, even if it is weak. The CPU looks good, and the only other draw for me really, is the SSD. The space is limited, but it seems just enough for me to comfortably use. I use only around 110 GB as of now.
The net effect is that it'll be the first time I can use an SSD instead of a traditional HDD and have more than integrated graphics.

I thought it had fucking broken. Okay so, the Acer Aspire 5742 has no keyshift lights. No num lock light, no caps lock light, no lights like that.
The mute FN key is directly next to the 'disable touchpad' FN key.
Why does this FN key exist and why is it next to a useful one like mute.
I spent hours using tab to navigate windows menus and webpages to try and redownload fucking drivers.
There is no notification whatsoever on the machine.
