POSIX and UNIX aren't the same thing, you retard. That UNIX shit they did was for NT and they stopped doing that over a decade ago.
You forgot drivers dickhead. Linux has no drivers and generic ones are too shit for non-autistic people.
>Good graphics software
Do you mean graphics hardware drivers or image manipulation software?
If you want to be a pedantic little faggot then Linux isn't Unix either.

Gnu/Linux is an implementation of the UNIX operating system. The windows bullshit is a subsystem.
Checkmate. Also, take immature shit like "faggot" to Sup Forums ;)
I assume OP is referencing the former
>Expecting out-of-the-box support for new hardware
>in a 7 years-old OS
Your manufacturer provides drivers for your specific model which you can download installers.
Windows 7 is deprecated. 8/10 update everything via Windows update. If you are on Windows you don't have to worry about drivers.
Go be a nigger somewhere else. I have used every major distribution of Linux, they are all garbage with idiotic UI.
I do, Linux is not.
>Gnu/Linux is an implementation of the UNIX operating system
Well, no arguement there. I still can't get the fucking Nvidia Optimus shit to work right for me.
Not being unix is a good thing.
Nuh uh
>Idiotic UI
You are too picky. Make your own UI or use the CLI. also, My drivers are in the kernel ootb.
Stop being so immature and using terms like "nigger" ro justify your choice of operating system.
you might as well put that under all of them and x it off
I use bash in my daily workflow and vim is my primary text editor. I am aware that I can use cygwin and such, but I am stuck with incompatibilities and weird workarounds comparable to the ones I have to use to get various software to work on Linux. OS X, even with all the problems that it has, does a better job at this.
>drivers in the kernel
Windows 8/10 can load 99% of devices on first boot including wifi and sound, something Linux fails to do on most systems.
>[x] Serviceable hardware
>Relevant point
>I'm a lazy nigger who can't be arsed to spend an hour learning Powershell
not an argument
When you first install Windows there are no wifi drivers, dipshit. How the fuck are you gonna download them?
It werks on my mums 3 PCs, my two laptops, and my friends PCs that I've converted.
Get Gud. Nobody i know has a windows partition.

If you are using Windows 7 as your benchmark then you are beyond stupid.

Stop hanging out with unemployed people
>it's an autist not recognizing a shitposting thread
This, if you're gonna compare driver support you should use the latest version of the OS that's available.
Agree, except competing OSs are not good for everyone. If Linux had an equal use share to OSX/Windows, then you'd see a lot better software being released to support it
Also, just to dispel this driver bullshit, the Linux kernel started being more liberal with it's driver inclusions ages ago. Linux supports almost all compliant hardware now.
>Defending shitposting
It's like you don't want mature, inteligent discussion on this Peruvian Shoemaking board.
Latest Linux kernel has no driver problems
Everything just works

You and I both know where to go for mature, intelligent discussion.

They're all employed. One guy uses libreoffice and the rest don't have tech jobs.
Checkmate again. Not everyone has a tech job.
Man fuck you nigga.
I installed i3 and what the fuck? I have to write the config myself to do anything a normal computer does out of the box? I wanted to try your stupid piece of shit meme software and it is a pile of hacks that I have to scavenge the internet for just to get it to a sorta useable state.
Where the fuck is my compositing? Where the fuck is my lock shortcut? Where the fuck is my language switching? Where the fuck are my volume buttons? Why the fuck is the clock updating once per 5 seconds? Why the fuck do I have to open a terminal to put the machine to sleep?
Sure, go ahead and fucking tell me that i3 is hurdd durr minimalism do-it-yourself whatever, but then name a tiling wm that isn't like that?
Let's go ahead and shit on anything that normal people use and circlejerk about bullshit that only works to take a screenshot of me watching anime in a meme video player (actually it only works for just the screenshot because if you try to set up compositing it will make mpv skip frames and tear), not realizing that it is incompatible with anything a real human may want to do on a computer and falls apart once you try to do something a 5 year old low-end Android phone does without an issue.
I'm honestly more enjoying hanging out with code artisans who write meme JavaScript frameworks because they are at least a couple of levels closer to the real world than this autismfest.
You're literally just lying, though. What is the point?
Not sure what your user error has to do with drivers kiddo
>>Not just accepting that no OS is best and that each has it's strengths and weaknesses
this meme was actually never good so fuck off please
Install gnome.
Grow up and get a job. Watching anime all day on your riced up Loonix shitbox is not a way to live.
I wish it were copland.

And so does Windows 10.

really? sorry I actually don't know much about powershell
does it support regex and stuff? also are there anything like man pages or gnu info pages? what terminal text editors are there?
Neogaf
I did, it's good, but autists complain when I talk about it.
but it's Windows that is the special snow flake with its proprietary software not getting along with other stuff...
False. Also, you can get bash in Windows. Bash is not the issue, it's the Windows system arch vs the Unix arch. Unix is just more sensible, and bash capitalises on that sensibility, giving you a really simple clean CLI.
So you believe there's an OS that's objectively the best for every human being on Earth?

Sort of. Not exactly. GNU is probably the closest we have to one, but honestly, rather than believing there is one best, I believe there is one worst, and it is Windows. The unix-like operating systems have a ton in common so it's mostly just nitpicking which of them is best, unless you start discussing free software and such.
Mint has pretty much the same software minus the creepy adware. And aesthetically saner defaults.
well, fug :DD

Bash is literally the only reason why I use Ubuntu at all. In fact Microsoft's decision to bring in native Bash into Windows makes total sense. Now you might as well check the "Unix" box for Windows and there's literally no good reason to use Mac or Ubuntu.
ah cool dude, I fucking love vim
good for you
I don't think I will ever go back to Windows, nor would I wish it on my friends, but I'm happy for you, at least.
Not him [I'm ], but Ubuntu isn't that bad...
i3 is for speed. It's for running on shit hardware and sparing as much RAM as possible while also having a workable WM. Most of your complains are about DE things, not WM things. You just need to install some tray icons for that shit.

The best software and drivers are proprietary closed source. There is no debate here.
xD
Most people, I think, don't even know what proprietary software is, so why should they care about it?
>>[x] Best OS ever made
The worst operating system ever made is unix, and so by default, windows is the best, because it's essentially the only operating system you can use that isn't unix.

Name one job [one] that requires winshit. One.
Windows literally includes Ubuntu in the Windows Store.
Market share and user base don't lie. When you need assurance that your system and applications will work, you use Windows.
Desktop threads were full of VM posers, they all use Windows when they need to get shit done.

You're even more retarded than I thought. Windows is normally my example for why you can't do such a thing.

Most organizations use in house intranet with custom software that primarily runs on XP or 7 systems. Same is true for the university from where I graduated. Despite have Google docs, all of us were given free subscription to Office 365 which is how we create and exchange docs.
Last I checked Linux can't run Office 365 or any custom applications written for Windows.

Does it really though? The main purpose of an operating system is running applications, which is a bit difficult to do when there are none to run.

Forget Linux, even OSX is deprecated. We had a dumb bitch in our office who bought a Macbook Air. She could not connect to our office WiFi or access any of the printers. Apparently OSX versions matters and can only work with specific older printers.
Let's face it, in practical life outside of CS, every industry runs Windows on their front end systems.
