Enjoying your forced Windows 10 upgrade, cuck?

lmao console cuck

>I'll call him a cuck! That'll show him! Dohoho, I am such an ebin troll! XD

Enjoy paying for everything, cuck

Spotted the cuck.

Sup Forums is full of children who don't know shit about computers.
Go to Sup Forums if you want serious discussion. Linux won't overtake Windows because general population is retarded with die hard habits.

>>they're too dumb to realize a PS4 + a thinkpad running Gentoo is the best setup

You do realise that Stallman is disappointed in you for using proprietary software?

But yes, I agree that more people should start using Linux.
More people use it, better it gets.

It's the only way to go, unless you don't have the money, which is understandable, or you just hate video games.

Lol, neet cuck

>anything I don't like is a botnet
I don't browse Sup Forums for this exact reason.

Out of the millions of people who own a computer that's at least mid-tier? Yeah, they are.
>they're too dumb to realize that if enough of them used GNU/Linux and actually bought games (instead of pirating them) on Linux, more developers would support Linux, but they continue to pirate both Windows and games, ensuring the botnet has a near monopoly
Linux is shit for games and not worth suffering through for le botnet maymay.
>they're too dumb to realize a PS4 + a thinkpad running Gentoo is the best setup
More nice maymays from le master ruseman.

nobody cares about botnets
nobody cares about consoles
nobody cares about linux

I just find it hilarious that everyone takes meme spouting redditors so serious and you get so fucking mad about it.
Who cares?

if you really believed what you liked was best, you wouldnt give a shit about it.
You know what i think of PS4?
Nothing, i dont care. Enjoy yourselves.

It is, it really is.

>serious discussion
not going to happen

If Linux ever does take over Windows, it will be far too late, when desktop computing will be barely relevant and most people will move to mobile by then. But mobile is already dominated by Linux, and so are most other fields of computing, so Linux wins at the future. gg

> a PS4 + a thinkpad running Gentoo
nogames + nogames still equals nogames.

>600.000 subs

Well meme'd, faggotrons.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as open source games, is in fact, free games.
In 1998, some of the people in the free software community began using the term “open source software” instead of “free software” to describe what they do. The term “open source” quickly became associated with a different approach, a different philosophy, different values, and even a different criterion for which licenses are acceptable. The Free Software movement and the Open Source movement are today separate movements with different views and goals, although we can and do work together on some practical projects.

The fundamental difference between the two movements is in their values, their ways of looking at the world. For the Open Source movement, the issue of whether software should be open source is a practical question, not an ethical one. As one person put it, “Open source is a development methodology; free software is a social movement.” For the Open Source movement, non-free software is a suboptimal solution. For the Free Software movement, non-free software is a social problem and free software is the solution.
The Free Software movement and the Open Source movement are like two political camps within the free software community.

Radical groups in the 1960s developed a reputation for factionalism: organizations split because of disagreements on details of strategy, and then treated each other as enemies. Or at least, such is the image people have of them, whether or not it was true.

The relationship between the Free Software movement and the Open Source movement is just the opposite of that picture. We disagree on the basic principles, but agree more or less on the practical recommendations. So we can and do work together on many specific projects. We don't think of the Open Source movement as an enemy. The enemy is proprietary software.

>People gaming on mobile phones/tablets
You can also smash your balls with a stone for fun or you can fuck a girl.

>tfw linux has most of the top steam games

>tfw freedom
why didn't i do this earlier

he term “free software” has an ambiguity problem: an unintended meaning, “Software you can get for zero price,” fits the term just as well as the intended meaning, “software which gives the user certain freedoms.” We address this problem by publishing a more precise definition of free software, but this is not a perfect solution; it cannot completely eliminate the problem. An unambiguously correct term would be better, if it didn't have other problems.

Unfortunately, all the alternatives in English have problems of their own. We've looked at many alternatives that people have suggested, but none is so clearly “right” that switching to it would be a good idea. Every proposed replacement for “free software” has a similar kind of semantic problem, or worse—and this includes “open source software.”

The official definition of “open source software,” as published by the Open Source Initiative, is very close to our definition of free software; however, it is a little looser in some respects, and they have accepted a few licenses that we consider unacceptably restrictive of the users. However, the obvious meaning for the expression “open source software” is “You can look at the source code.” This is a much weaker criterion than free software; it includes free software, but also some proprietary programs, including Xv, and Qt under its original license (before the QPL).

That obvious meaning for “open source” is not the meaning that its advocates intend. The result is that most people misunderstand what those advocates are advocating. Here is how writer Neal Stephenson defined “open source”:

Linux is “open source” software meaning, simply, that anyone can get copies of its source code files.

I don't think he deliberately sought to reject or dispute the “official” definition. I think he simply applied the conventions of the English language to come up with a meaning for the term.

>easier to use
not really

well done. please end yourself

I just use mednafen and MAME. Every game worth playing 1 command away.

The main argument for the term “open source software” is that “free software” makes some people uneasy. That's true: talking about freedom, about ethical issues, about responsibilities as well as convenience, is asking people to think about things they might rather ignore. This can trigger discomfort, and some people may reject the idea for that. It does not follow that society would be better off if we stop talking about these things.

Years ago, free software developers noticed this discomfort reaction, and some started exploring an approach for avoiding it. They figured that by keeping quiet about ethics and freedom, and talking only about the immediate practical benefits of certain free software, they might be able to “sell” the software more effectively to certain users, especially business. The term “open source” is offered as a way of doing more of this—a way to be “more acceptable to business.” The views and values of the Open Source movement stem from this decision.

This approach has proved effective, in its own terms. Today many people are switching to free software for purely practical reasons. That is good, as far as it goes, but that isn't all we need to do! Attracting users to free software is not the whole job, just the first step.

Sooner or later these users will be invited to switch back to proprietary software for some practical advantage. Countless companies seek to offer such temptation, and why would users decline? Only if they have learned to value the freedom free software gives them, for its own sake. It is up to us to spread this idea—and in order to do that, we have to talk about freedom. A certain amount of the “keep quiet” approach to business can be useful for the community, but we must have plenty of freedom talk too.

my parents both use it and they're technophobes who are just entering their 60s. my dad used to get a different virus every week, now he gets nothing. my mum plugged her laser printer in and it automatically detected it and let her print things. ymmv
