Nice fucking OS you got there wincucks
Great thread, OP, you're really raising the quality of discourse on this board.

Sometimes shit is better.
Only reason he wouldn't have permission is if he WASN'T root. So he wasn't given admin of his OS.

What sort of idiot runs as root?
running as root gives a 10% performance increase since it bypasses all privilege checks

If Linux is so much better how come I don't like it?
It's funny because Linux is full of options but when they see options on Windows they spaz out like they don't know what to do.

Nice going freetards.
>>it's just sitting there and you can't do shit about it
You have to fucking reboot the computer, or run it safe mode to delete programs like that. It's tedious as fuck.
Better less retard analogy

Why do people love in America? Why not just live on a deserted island where you can do all these things!?!?
Also your friends retarded. There is probably a root command to shut down.
Just use procexp to find the handle for the file and remove it. Takes literally 5 seconds. Git gud lincuck. Alternatelu you can code something to do just that for fun quite easily.
you can --force it but that wouldn't be very cash money of you
>running as root gives a 10% performance increase since it bypasses all privilege checks
or find the process holding the handle in process explorer?
>having to install anything to achieve such basic functionality
Who am I kidding, of course a winfag will try to justify this
>you're suggested to install a program, with the option to say no
>hurr durr this installs bloat
Are you 8 years old? You don't have to click ok/accept on every screen you see.
The fact is you will rarely need to be told which program uses the file you're trying to delete, if you don't know what's using your file then you're an idiot. Installing 3rd party software isn't always bad. And as if you don't need to completely tweak and install some additional software to make any Linux distro functional.

>complaining about 3rd party software having to be installed on a board where majority of users use steam for games
Just reboot. Chances are that you'll have to some time in the next 20 mins, so why not?
