Because l00nix doesn't have the software I need to do my work.

then dualboot

Windows is shit. Shit package management, NTFS, spyware, adware, bloatware, inconsistent design, bad font rendering, shitty drivers. Anyone who uses windows is being cucked by ms.

Linux is only free if your time is useless. The rest of us do real world things like work (woah, a job!) and enjoy video games (which you can buy with woah, a job!).

Instead of hating on what you don't like, why don't you start using something you do like instead?

Nice fucking shadows, faggot. You have to be genuinely retarded to fuck up XFCE.

> MOM, I INSULTED A GUY ON THE INTERWEBZ, AM I COOL NOW

why, if windows has all the software i need while linux doesnt, whats the point of dualbooting? Linux distributives are a nice hobby, i too enjoy sometimes booting arch in a virtual machine and fucking around, posting screenshots in desktop thread, but using it as main os on my desktop? Im not that retarded, thanks

Hey OP, you ran into the same problem I had with the numix icons on Xubuntu 16.04. Run
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/center-text -n -t bool -s false
it should revert to normal.

>Linux distributives are a nice hobby
>Servers, supercomputers, smartphones, embedded devices, laptops, desktops, industrial systems, etc all run on a hobbyist OS
>Im not that retarded, thanks
lol

He never said it was only a hobbyist OS, but for his purposes, that's all it would be.

On the desktop it's still a hobby.

Also we're talking about GNU/Linux, not about Linux the kernel. There's nothing inherently wrong with the kernel, the problem is the ecosystem as a whole.

>if you don't use the OS I use you're wrong

Huh, it worked, thanks
Is there a way to bring back the language indicator flags? I've tried changing show-flags to true in dconf but it's still the same when I use Unity

I've been using linux for the past decade and I've been on it full-time for the past two years at home and at work.

Could you explain what it is about "the ecosystem as a whole" that's problematic to you?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux

>not using linux vm on windows 7

This is stupid. The only reason to run windows is for program compatibility, Linux does literally everything else better, it even performs better. This is like converting mp3 to flac thinking it will improve quality. You don't get the benefits of Linux by running it through windows. Kys

Unused RAM is wasted RAM

>I can't find any reason so there isn't any.
faggot

I'm not going to waste time posting them for the thousandth time as most criticism in this board gets dismissed with "it works on my machine".

But there's a guy that put together a comprehensive list of issues and almost all the problems I had with Linux are there. The URL is banned from Sup Forums for some reason but if you google for "main Linux problems desktop 2016" and use the URL in archive.org (the original website is down right now) you'll see it.

I'm not an autist that bases his self confidence on which OS he uses.

Windows works just fine for literally everything I do at home, so why would I switch?

Package management, better performance, better font rendering, freedom, no NTFS, no spyware, no adware, no bloatware.

is there a Sup Forums approved "linux for babies" guide somewhere
i need an intro before i can join this cult

Yes, Actually.
See the babies first GNU/Linux guide on the IG Wiki. Check the sticky.

I have none of the spy/ad/bloat ware because I don't download porn.

The other things never were an issue that cost me time or anything.

>i have no spyware
>but i use windows (any version above 3.1)

You're moving up, Pajeet.

Linux is unstable, slow, unsupported garbage that only a no lifer would use.

this?

I wanna move on to Loonix already but im afraid of it fucking up and destroying my PC

Like I heard some guy accidentally formatted his entire hard drive with gparted because freetard programmers never considered that could happen

Sorry linux doesn't have what I need on it yet.

You can also look at the shittloads of tuts on youtube.

Do you want to tell me that Windows is infected without my doings or what?

> you'll never get this kind of aesthetics on Winbots
This has to be a joke because there are so many blatant design flaws in your screenshot.
- desktop icon backdrop shadows are fucked up
- huge panels taking up ~128 horizontal pixels of your screen
- sideways text on the panels

shut up nerd

>ubuntu
Rather use windows 10 t b h

>still able to use Virtualbox for some light gaming and other stuff that's only available for Windows
Just fucking use GPU-passthrough and you can play anything on it using kvm and qemu.

As for your Ubuntu setup: Kill yourself.

> you'll never get this kind of aesthetics
This must be bait, but you have to be trolling if you think that looks better than my desktop

this guy just solved my issue with the shadows
No, because having your panels sit on the bottom of your 16:9 screen is any better
And what's wrong with sideway text?

> Light gaming
Minesweeper?

No, for your use case it's still a hobby. If you needed office applications or photoshop, they run. If you need specific cad applications or the like you'll have to use windows 7.

>vi for anything
MEGALUL

Why would I dual boot, if all I do with my machine is work and entertainment (occasional games & movies/music)? There's literally no reason to cripple myself with using linux.

>VirtualBox
>in Linux
You realize kvm is a bare metal hypervisor, not a user space shitbox like VB, right?

If you can get Virgil3d running you can share your gpu with a kvm vm.

Vi/m is the best way to edit text.

Modal editing, text objects, the composability of the various mnemonic commands, line editing from ex, the great help documentation, and (not necessary, but very nice) all the plugins.

I am used to it.

man i was just shitposting
i have no idea what any of the means lmao

>What's your fucking excuse
Drivers that aren't barebone.

>Unused RAM is what keeps your computer from hanging up for 10minutes as you try frantically to close firefox
ftfy

I kinda like my Ubuntu 16.04. I prefer it over my Windows 8.1, because it's more lighter, you can customize it more than you can with Windows (things can go wrong and did wrong so you have to be careful with it). You can install programs with one line from the terminal, etc. I can't play with many games, but for example, I could play with Alien: Isolation, which was very nice.

To be honest, I'm not writing because this comment because I'm a Windows 10 hater, but still, I'm concerned about the privacy issues, even if they're a myth. Until there's no real need to upgrade to Windows 10 (and no, DX 12 is not a real need), I won't do it, because it's unstable at this point (e.g. Anniversary update broke lots of machines, etc. - I don't want to take that risk). So at this point, I'm keeping my Windows 8.1 only for gaming, and my Ubuntu to real work.

Everything happening so far supports everything there

One of the amazing things about mactype is that it reveals when MS is using two different font rendering backends in the same fucking place

GNU/ Linux is great if you don't use your computer for work. I cringe at the thought of wasting an hour trying to get Ubuntu to find a printer on my network.

Being the OS for custom built overpriced game consoles is the only thing that Windows can do reliably

> do real world things like work

Sure asshole. I can focus on what I do without getting watched or being scared about malware or ransomware. If you think you can do real work just on Windows, you're a pure retard. You mentioned gaming, I see how much work you do. It's not like you can work that much when you have lots of games installed. I do photography and video editing on Linux, I'm learning some security and programming, listening to music, watching movies, reading things.

> you'll never get this kind of aesthetics on Winbots

Is this a troll? Your DE looks like shit, senpai

Mmmm, Microsoft FINALLY acknowledging something insiders have been reporting since several months ago now that it's become public in media.

I don't know what to say.

I use Linux and the same DE as him but yes, you are right, that looks a bit like shit. Many users don't really know how to theme this thing. If you look closely, there are text shadows undet icons. That is a bug from the theme. I found the combination of Arc-Darker + Paper Icons + Numix-Circle (as a fallback for Paper) to look very good. Windows 10 is not ugly either, but I personally prefer Linux.

>proud of using Ubuntu

Idiots will be idiots.

Yeah, those weird drop shadows are really fucking with me. Combined with the awful way his bars are set up it really fucks with me. I really enjoy the Arc theme-- I installed it on W10 after all-- but can people really not figure out how to properly make their shit look nice before bragging about how A E S T H E T I C it is? Can people really not figure out how to dual boot with Windows 10?

your screenshot looks like shit. Windows too, but to a less degree.

Comsol Multiphysics run on Linux

Because Active Directory is still a thing.

And so are Exchange and SharePoint, but we'll get to those later.

If you look on /r/unixporn for example, there are a lot of shit desktops. New Linux users think that these things look good but honestly Windows look better than 80℅ of what is on that subreddit. I dislike what the Windows designers did with some menus and that ugly as fuck nigger theme but the taskbar and the icons are nice.

>I can't find any other reason but they exist, trust me :(

>/r/unixporn

Clutter everywhere, jesus christ how horrible. Every single thing I click on has some DE set up with their PC stats actively being tracked on the desktop, like you need to know how much CPU and RAM you're using looking at your wallpaper or like you need 30 things on your taskbar. I feel like I have too many here and there are people who have like 30 fucking icons on it but nothing on their desktop.


Well, I guess whatever gets them off. I remember when I first installed Slackware in 8th grade and got everything looking 'nice' I was proud enough of it to post screenshots everywhere on the internet too.

>they send data encrypted with keys, so we use a special program that decrypts RSA

Waitwaitwait, do MS send the data with the key, or is RSA already broken, so the program can crack the key in seconds?

What sense does it make to send encrypted data next to the key to decrypt it?

>I'm superior for not using Windows now excuse me while I boot up my Windows VM/reboot into my Windows partition
Congratulations you're retarded. Also that dark and edgy like muh soul theme is trash.

...

>why, if windows has all the software i need
Will someone clarify what these softwares are? I have Windows 7-10 in VM's and I literally can't find a use for them. Honestly, so far Windows seems to offer nothing of use to me other than IDA Pro.

Even if that true, it's still far better than Linux. Makes you wonder what the hell "free" "software" developers are doing.

This is the last place you should ask for advice unless it directly pertains to something someone is gloating about. Should you ever overcome your Linux anxiety, I recommend Arch, Gentoo, and Ubuntu's documentation. Don't get overwhelmed by the stupid shit, basic Linux usage is piss easy.

>hurr it's better than linux because I don't know how to use linux
What are you doing on this board if you're a tech illiterate?

>Windows works just fine for literally everything I do at home, so why would I switch?
Once you make Linux your bitch, you'll never want to touch Windows again, seriously, you can adapt your system almost exactly to fit your needs and system requirements. It's great if you really love computers. Some people use it for political reasons too.

>not using small taskbar icons
