it was a long and annoying process, and it's not quiiiite done yet, but i have windows 10 pro running and a couple games installed that i haven't actually tested yet oops

the last few bits and bobs are on the way and should arrive between this saturday and next saturday; im gonna dual boot with some flavor of linux and im gonna have a big storage drive and im gonna have a bunch of usb ports and stuff mounted in the drive bays and its gonna be great

so hey, does anyone have any suggestions for scripts and addons and stuff to make win10 more good and less bad? i already used MAS to activate it, so what other stuff is out there that i can do

hey by the way: does youtube have a memory leak on firefox or something? youtube tabs will often hang if i leave them open too long, and when i check task manager when this happens i find out i'm getting like 97% memory usage (of 32GB). this is from having eight tabs open, only one of which is a youtube video

if anyone knows anything about this, or better yet has a remedy, please let me know

it might be a misconfigured firefox extension but i'm not sure how to figure that out

i think it was a bad interaction between ublock origin and betterttv. i turned off betterttv's access to youtube and it seems to be fine now

okay its not fine, youtube tabs are still freezing sometimes. i THINK it's still ublock origin. does anyone have advice about this

@typhlosion
Is it happening while the tab is focused? If not, does it still freeze if the tab is it's own window but not the focused window? Could be a workaround.
