Actually, there's big works on NVidia driver for Linux ongoing and NVidia themselves are working with Canonical on that.

W10 build 14905 is just arriving as critical networking parts and Settings perpetually crashing in the AU1607 and 14901, not to speak of loss of LAN/homegroup accessibility. You get some stupid, yes stupid advice by an MVP the create a new homegroup to then delete it again to get your old homegroup going again. This gunk is just not stable... booting takes 3x longer under W10 then it did on W7/W8 on same devices. (The number of background processes that W10 runs (invading privacy) is endless... some you cant even disable like 'Basic' system telemetry feedback to MS (it's a requirement as they print it).

The 'closest' to Office 365 is Open/Libre Office, and 'closest' than being a euphemism, as the quality of graphics and malleability, just has no comparison. At any rate, deep-revisit of something added to the Read Later list (Firefox add-on) at http://www.excelforum.com/l/924477-asdf.html letting the words sink in and the epiphany hit... a library had not ported, that in fact became redundant for this custom application. It was still referenced, which is where all the computation and corruption stemmed from. Unticked the particular .dll requirement, and voilà , back in action, workbook saving again after the long script execution. Now I can fetch my second morning while executing.

(BTW Windows 10, Anniversary Update was re-issued on August 16 with build 14393.82, was 14393.67... rerun your update install and watch the screen and boots for the next couple of hours... some anniversary )

Insider build 14905 still has a completely borged Setting module... nothing much of configuration is possible, all exiting out within seconds (They know a lock dll is missing, they say so in the addendum, and still they released the build). Homegroup, 'what homegroup' is the question now.

Edit: and don't try posting special characters such as in voilà on this forum... 10 years on with this forum gunk and they still get corrupted on first post.

After 24 hours on and some powershell and registry hacking (Allow Telemetry key editing), can say that things seem to be returning to pre W10 (W7/W8) performance level on one device (The other will get same treatment if things stay stable). Anyway, from the horses mouth https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/win...nts-to-microsoft-services and keep the bag from the frontseat pocket handy,Boils down to "if you don't give us your data, we don't know what to defend you against" blackmail/coercion, for the lesser hands-on.

A very good reason, to do messaging, mailing etc with non-MS products such as Thunderbird and FireFox who I hope see less interception of what I read and visit.

Just to confirm, I've fully broken (LoL), the Feedback Telemetry send back to MS, by using the various tips from previous posts/links in this thread, so much so that the Feedback hub has a red text complaint in it, that informs that no feedback is possible unless allowing diagnostics data to be send back and need to change it before I can. The settings screen then shows the 'Basics' box to be grayed out, and red text saying group policy is in effect (Think Pro and Enterprise has that build in, but my home version hasn't... Registry hacking gives though access to the same settings).

Anyway, to remind you what W10 is transmitting back to Redmond AT THE MINIMUM(and in a way it's sickening)
Yes all your internal networking configuration and identification data is going as well. Google got slapped for collecting Wifi data in a sneak way by driving around for their maps collection, but this seems to be OK (until those no good EU politicians in Bruxelles wake up).

The effect of W10 on the unprepared user (don't ever be unsuspecting :-))))):

I'm using 2 special fonts, one of them aharoni, only this one keeps being uninstalled (deleted), which then causes fallback to some system default, messing up the graphics layouts. Now I keep a copy in the work folder, just right click and hit install and things are normal, till next update.

Switching off tracking, (or on to give some hearty feedback) I've now turned into an art-form... a little powershell script to turn off and turn on 2 of these 'services'. They've been set to manual, and one triggering the second, i.e. boot does not restart them. Guess MS will make sure that next time they're back to 'automatic' again. For sure, the efficiency on the desktop is getting close to the aimed 99%.
