Now that you can get espresso at mcdonalds, is there literally any reason to visit Gordon Ramsay's ever again?

>food analogy

grow up kiddo

Why would you want bash on Windows?

...

I buy frappuccinos from McDonalds and I see no reason to ever visit Gordon Ramsay's.

NP++ is better

>Why make my own coffee when I can pay a barista for the privlidge of drinking his thick hot semen instead?

kys

Why drink an inferior coffe made by me when i dont have the equipment and ingredients that the coffe shop has and buying the tools/coffe still not free

Of course there are people who make much much better coffe by themself but that a pretty small number of coffe drinkers, not retard plebs like you

for literally any coding other than C.

I use instant coffee.
I'm just too lazy to make espresso and blend it with chocolate ice cream.

At that point you might as well just run a real Linux environment.

dude, cygwin was pretty much the same thing, windows is still shit

well I mean you are on a technology board

Cygwin is shit though

Or Visual Studio

"technology"

Better than lonix

No point of using linux

this. or busybox. you could even install KDE. that doesn't mean shit, windows sucks and will always suck

>No point of using linux

Unless you want to seriously get work done outside of .NET, sure.

lonix is irrelevant like it was before and will be in the future

Depends on your definition of work I guess, seeing as Linux doesn't really have a suitable replacement for Office yet...

OK m8

sage goes in all fields

I'm not sure what your argument is here. You said there's no point using Linux. I said if you want a serious programming environment then it's basically your best option.

Tell me what uses have linux for an avarhe desktop user thats better than windows

Yeah, for powershell since linux has powershell

there never was a reason OP.

if you want to use shit like tensorflow you won´t have gpu support
which just proofs that this is not much better than using a linux vm

if you were a programmer, you'd know.

I only program in codeblocks :$

>codeblocks
codeblocks in windows sucks.

It's not analogy. He is applying your reasoning to a different subject to demonstrate that your reasoning is flawed. Analogy is just a teaching tool and has nothing to do with that.

Good enough for me

Isn't this also what a analogy is though?

Windows botnet.

Nice try, Microsoft paid shills.

yeah, that's an analogy...

An engineer will use which ever operating system to satisfy a need in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Linux and Windows will work in their own ways. OS X will have driver problems. /thread

Here's what google has to say about it:
> a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
Analogy is used to teach things and makes no effort to prove/demonstrate that the comparison even makes sense. The pupil is supposed to just believe it.

Here, though, someone presents his reasoning, and to demonstrate his reasoning is flawed, it is applied to a different subject, leading to contradictory results. That's no analogy. That's proof by contradiction.

This is going to come off as advertising, but has anyone ever heard of this:

My lab proctor next quarter owns the company, I'm kind of curious how good it is.

They make quite the bold claim:
> Completely bulletproof. Will not crash, will not hang. Ever. Runs on any 32 or 64-bit version of Windows ever made. Still the fastest. Still the best.

Also what's the difference between C shell, power shell, and bash?

It's expensive for a fucking shell.

Build an OS which works for me and not a service which works for them ?

The write up for that sure sounds sexy, although

Kind of implies it hasn't been updated in a couple years.

I'd also be interested in user opinions. Any crack of it uploaded anywhere? Asking for a friend.

This post is bait and all, but really, why does Sup Forums seem to be acting like this is something exciting and new?

It's just a freetardized replacement for Interix which has been a thing since NT 4.0, and Cygwin has been around for over a decade now.

>Also what's the difference between C shell, power shell, and bash?
Different environments that are interacted with and scripted differently. The C shell is more common on Unix systems such as OS X and I think Solaris as well, though it seems bash has superseded it as the default on both platforms in more recent versions.

>thinks CLI is the only reason I use linux
it's because windows is such a pile of shit with everything that I don't want it to have anything to do with my hardware
it gets to live in a VM like the shitty malware it is

...

I don't even use Bash on Linux, why would I care that you can use it on Windows?

It is new - it's a binary compatibility layer. Both Interix and Cygwin produce source-level compatibility, meaning you have to recompile your programs into Windows executables. Win10's thing runs unmodified Linux binaries.

/thread

Yes, for hard drive recovery. For a top notch programming environment. For servers. For stability. For freedom. For custom desktop environments and window managers. For anti spyware. For anti bloatware. For anti proprietary software.

You're not a very advanced programmer

There is nothing wrong with Codeblocks for 99.999999999999999% of Sup Forums users.

Neither you

You can install cygwin without having to get admin privelages, so it's better for me, because I don't use windows on my computer. There is just no point to use windows for me.

There never was

>steam
>wine

Also, is that way.

>indie shovelware and piece of shit freetard Win32 API
nogames

Osu runs better on wine-staging than on windows, and it's about to get released on GNU/Linux natively. There are VMs if you don't like wine.

>you explained something in the easiest terms
>grow ub kiddo :DDD

No not really.

Windows may not be as free or offer as much customisation but I don't even care after these years, it gets out of my way and fades in to the background, works a lot better and gives me the full power of the HW I paid good money for, rather then what Linux desktop did to cripple my machine.
