Windows hate thread

Recently switched to Linux after using Windows my entire life and I don't ever want to go back. Windows 10 was the final nail in the coffin.

Give me one good reason why you're not using a Linux distro.

I play video games and use proper media creation software.

I dual boot, but I'm in Windows more often than Linux because only about half of my Steam games are Linux compatible, and very few of them are the ones I want to play.

Glad to hear that you enjoying your new operating system user.

Now tell us what distribution did you choose.

Here's a picture to contribute to the windows hate.

...

video games

Because Windows is faster than Linux if you don't treat the OS like an idiot and install every keygen and unsigned .exe you can find.

Also anime.

Poor hardware compatibility and lack of third party application support.

How does Windows do anime better than Linux? VLC runs fine on both.

I dual boot Windows as well as Linux on my laptop for software compatibility reasons. Also just ordered a new HDD for my desktop so that I can get Linux there.

As I am a first time user, I got Ubuntu 16.04 MATE. Virtually everything recommended Ubuntu for a first time user and I really liked the MATE DE.

As I get more comfortable and used to it, I plan on trying other distros and branching out.

Engineer so there's too much software I need to use on windows. WINE just doesn't cut it.

nice

Can you elaborate? I plan on pursuing a bio engineering degree once I start college next semester.
What is so hard about using Linux and engineering?

>VLC runs

Proprietary engineering software dude. They don't hand out the source code for linux compilation

Because I am using a UNIX OS...

Well, the thing in that pic can be disabled... provided you're not using Windows 10.

...

You can disable updates, you just go to the system part in control panel and find windows updates and disable, simple as that.

In Windows 10 I am implying.

...

I wasn't even talking about that. I was talking about downloading updates but choosing when to install them.

...

Ah, okay.

>Windows Registry
Who the fuck approved this shit?

I've seen that guy before

It's like cookies, for your OS

it's better than ini files all over your drive

also ACCESS CONTROL

GConf is what the registry should be like if it didn't have decades of shitty hacks to remain compatible with.

been trying to do a Windows7 with Debian Dual boot for some reason it wont install onto my other drive it is very annoying.

Confirmed pajeet

make sure BIOS isn't cockblocking you

really really lazy

I feel much the same way, but I still have windows installed for photoshop which I use about once a week.

its teh bandaid on the ass which keks me over the edge.

So you have a console and a Macintosh. Good to know.

I have a couple of reasons right here

Why can't your system decide whether to be Spanish or Polish?

Its literally like /etc/ there is nothing wrong with it.

I don't have autism and only use Linux on my home server for server related tasks. Most companies use Windows server so unless you're gonna work for the 5% that uses Linux, there's virtually no point in familiarizing yourself with it (and I'm saying this as someone who prefers Linux servers).

>windows 10
>it just works

good enough for me

Threadly reminder

>Give me one good reason why you're not using a Linux distro.

I live in Japan literally everyone and everything runs in windows here.

Fuck Windows.

It's a console OS.

Linux as an operating system is objectively better than Windows.

Ubuntu it's even worse than using Windows.

>inb4 lurk more

my motherboard does not support vt-d
my next one will do tho and I finally switch to linux on my desktop

That doesnt seem like an impediment to using it personally at all. Unless it means work stuff.

>prop. driver performance isn't as good as Windows

>software isn't as good as Windows software

what is a good substitute for VLC?

Photoshop. And don't even mention Gimp. It is utter shit and anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant fucktard that knows nothing about image processing.

Honestly, after using all 3 major OSes, OSX is definitely the best. It's way better optimized than Windows, and the UI is cleaner and simpler than any Linux DE, plus it's Unix.

>HFS+
>Broken OpenGL support
>Worst security policies of any major OS in the industry
>Locked down hardware
It's a poor man's UNIX system that happens to run Adobe meme software.

But the UI is cleaner and simpler than any Linux DE to user.

>It's way better optimized than Windows
This is a new argument. I like and use the big three operating systems, so don't take me as a hater. macOS being better optimized than Windows though?
Aside from Windows having to deal with strange chipset drivers, C-Media, Realtek, all that nonsense that can potentially bluescreen $200 laptops, I don't see how it's less optimized? For all its flaws and the service and cheap direction it's going, the lower level of NT is quite impressive. Well optimized, fewer kernel calls needed than Linux or Darwin to perform the same tasks, small sized micro kernel with lots of modularity as a result. When they still employed professionals rather than everyone cheap enough, they made some solidly good software. Take calc.exe. Extremely lightweight, fast and simple. Not advanced, but no bloat either; an instantly starting program from Win95 through 10.

NT as a system is good, they're only slowly trying to beat it down with lesser employees.

There isn't one. Don't take these autists seriously, vlc isn't perfect but it plays everything you throw at it.

I have no real reason to use Linux.

Windows 7 still works perfectly fine.

>I don't really understand computers.
FTFY

I don't have autism

Jesus fucking Christ, are the update servers in fucking Bangalore?

mpv is the best replacement (on linux) mpc on windows. vlc is fucking garbage and should be deleted from repos.

>Windows is faster than Linux

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

os x has all the good stuff of linux but with proprietary programs and good GUI/underlying components

>you don't use something I do so you're retarded

Soy de Polonia y compré mi portátil en mi país (por eso Windows fue en Polaco) pero vivo y trabajo en Madrid. Quiero mejorar mi conocimiento de lengua y por eso lo he cambiado.

If I wanted to get Windows 7 on my machine, how would I go about doing that?
I guess I could torrent it but how would I get a product key to be able to use it?

...

i want to actually be able to use my computer

>windows is faster than linux
Oh lawd.

Enjoy being useless for life. All the good software and games are for Windows only.

You will be back dragging your sweaty balls to Windows in a month.

VLC is fine sperglord.

Quicktime Player and WMP should be destroyed though.

too bad you're a fucking retard. i use photoshop/lightroom/bridge at work and gimp/ufraw at home and can do just about whatever the fuck i want perfectly fine and with as much productivity.

sorry you are too incompetent to use gimp
i'm laffin @ u

Linux sucks.

>I'd rather have a bunch of devices that barely perform their tasks than one device that performs better.

Man, I thought linux guys are supposed to be good at minimalism?

Not all GNU/Linux users are the same person. There's tons of different use cases.

I'm typing this from emacs on my laptop, but some people might need a Beowulf cluster.

Regardless, the Unix philosophy is that everything should be modular. One device should perform one purpose very well. So his idea better follows the Unix philosophy (although as of late game consoles are called "home entertainment systems" and no longer follow that philosophy...)

Master race reporting in.

>ubuntu

perspective needed

/me upgraded from mate 15.04 to 16.04 on a raspberry pi3 while watching movie & continuing to work

why do people put up with this shit?
it took less than an hour and required 1 reboot

>le Ubuntu is shiet may may XD
