Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I am playing now with a small Pipo X7 tha comes with 8.1 Bing bong ...

and this morning when i shutdwon it and i saw "update 40 of 74" i realized immediately that a OS that forces me to be connected to internet to work is a huge mistake.
And i could not shutdown without updating !!!! i could not choose !!!
Actually i did it .. but i am sure this evening it will start again the process ... as a first action, in complete autonomy.
The uprising of the machine. I will expect also a raspberry when the process will end.
I was slaved to the pc (and the net) ... unbelievable.
Most of recent OSs have as main objective to make us slave of the net.
I am convinced now for a audio only pc the isolation from internet is absolutely mandatory.
Linux could be indeed the best choice.
I have just to find a suitable usb to digital interface ... possibly with I/O because i have some recording wish for the future.
Sorry for the outburst. Have a nice day.
Kind regards,
bg
