>it's 2017 and Sup Forums is still trying to meme me into installing a server OS on my Windows desktop.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I am not going to be one of the countless retards who fell for the Linux meme and installed Linux only to find out it was a huge buggy mess and wasted time installing Windows all over again.
I don't know if this is Sup Forums's way of manipulating people into wasting their valuable time trying to crowdsource bugtesters to try to convert their server OS into a desktop OS for free but it's not going to work.
Say no to server OSs like Linux. Wait until Google makes a real desktop OS from a custom Fuchsia kernel and then try that.

Please, fuck off. You know nothing about computing, nor technology. You're an idiotic sheep who listens to what others tell him. This is quite literally "memes" personified.
Top notch bullshit bait. Do you really have nothing better to do in your life than post this shitty bait, over and over again, penguin.jpg?
You're honestly worse than nonfree pizza, or sixteen gigabyte suicide, or any other idiotic Sup Forums spammer

Linux is a kernel, you uncivilized ape. Care to tell us which distro you were using? I know for sure that Debian works flawlessly on every machine I've used it on. So this was either a user problem or you tried Arch/Mint.

It's a desktop OS that's also the best option for servers. Don't you have Wikipedia in your country?
Cameron Ward
It's a server OS
Dylan Martinez
but it does
Angel Flores
It can also be a server OS but that doesn't make it a server OS. It can be installed on pretty much anything which includes servers, but it was originally made for desktop use and it has always had those capabilities. Just because Adobe doesn't make their shit to work in it (which is always the only reasoning even though it's a terrible one) doesn't mean that it's not for desktops.
Clearly you seem to think something is broken, so why not try to fix it? It just works on my machines.

Sup Forums thinks everything is "broken" because they have no lives and need some activity to pass the time...thus they install Linux...over....and over...and over.
There's people here who have used 10 or more different flavors of Linux and they still can't decide what to stick with.
Thomas Phillips
I'd argue that Windows gets fucked up and needs re-installing more often than Linux.
Oliver Ross
Dude, trip code!
Remove it if you don't want to look like a retard : ^ )

OP from yesterday's thread on Mint being a bag of shite here. I feel ya - people have been trying to meme the Linux year of the desktop for so long now that even Duke Nukem Forever has been and gone and that was a "lol maybe this year" for what seemed like a lifetime.
Google will be the only ones who can give it mainstream appeal, just as with Android and just as they're already doing with ChromeOS as they're the only people who write for Linux who have any sense of user experience and aren't just programmers writing for other programmers. Everything Google is botnet as fuck, but not like normies care about that.
That said, the problems I had yesterday related to 1) Mint being a buggy steaming turd and 2) The other distros I messed with being obscure ones - those types where they're maintained by like one guy who doesn't have time to fix anything so has like 10000 bugs open but is too much of a control freak to accept anyone's pull requests. (Which is most OSS summed up)
Running Ubuntu Mate here and finally have something that works properly. The underlying distro is solid, and it reminds me just how dumb it was for GNOME to abandon its very well developed 2.0 code base to build an iOS clone in pursuit of tablet memes. Finally I have something now that is actually working better than Windows 10 for most things - until I want to do gaming or photo editing anyway.

Not on it's own. Maybe with malware. Never had to install Windows again.
Hunter Rodriguez

>I am not going to be one of the countless retards who fell for the Linux meme and installed Linux only to find out it was a huge buggy mess and wasted time installing Windows all over again. Windows has more bugs than linux. And you only spend time installing win cause linux takes 5min.
>I don't know if this is Sup Forums's way of manipulating people into wasting their valuable time trying to crowdsource bugtesters to try to convert their server OS into a desktop OS for free but it's not going to work. Yup the power of the botnet is too big already.
>Say no to server OSs like Linux. Wait until Google makes a real desktop OS from a custom Fuchsia kernel and then try that. The kernel desing of fuchsia is literaly more server oriented than linux. Happy botneting OP
Ryder Jones
>Maybe with malware. Yup, and Linux doesn't have that problem.
Isaiah Johnson
Windows only gets malware if the user is stupid. A stupid user will also get a Linux install infected.
Bentley Jackson
Right, Linux just needs to worry about the malware that comes with the system, like shellshock
Parker Carter
>A computer that shuts down randomly cause muh updates is broken to me
Linux also restarts to update the kernel.
>Windows has more bugs than linux
People here complain more about having to fix a Linux install than fixing a Windows install.
Brayden Cook
Windows has malware by default.
Jackson Torres
2017 is only starting and there's already cancerous threads everywhere.
Kayden Gutierrez
just like Linux lol
Camden Walker
That's just your opinion.
Austin Torres
>software that is intended to damage or disable computers and computer systems.
The entirety of the Windows Update system is malware.
Asher Gutierrez
ok kid
Aaron Young
Again this is nothing but your opinion
Adam Bailey
No it isn't. Windows update disables your computer, its a textbook definition of malware.
Anthony Rivera
what version of windows are you using?
Sebastian Morgan
>Technology board >Windows shills It's fucking 2017, just give up

Windows is technology....?
Jaxon Richardson
>Linux also restarts to update the kernel. The difference here, is that Linux asks first. You can even delay it indefinitely (at your risk). Windows does not - in 10 there's no way to disable the reboot, it literally dictates to you "you will reboot right now, or I will do it for you later, whether you have anything open or not".
Lincoln Harris
windows asks too lol
Jack Allen
if you are tech illiterate, yes
you don't go on Sup Forums if you stream
you don't go on /lit/ if you hate reading
if you can't even get fucking Linux Mint running, you don't belong here
Luis Moore
So? You decide when it can restart.
Carter Flores
what
Jaxon Lopez
What linux you're using btw? Mine do a hot-reload on kernel updates :3
Henry Lewis
You still have to schedule a time within 24hrs or so. If you're doing something that takes longer, or you're in a habit of leaving things open and just using sleep, you're fucked.
Julian King
Hmm that's new, will look into that. It's a fresh Ubuntu install
Wyatt Howard
uh huh, okay
Liam Rodriguez
>You still have to schedule a time within 24hrs or so.
So what? Isn't that enough? Stop being a retard. It takes seconds to save your work.
Linux should also force you to restart within a certain time to ensure you are up to date. Freedom to not update is bad for users.
Grayson Gray
do you pol faggots even technology. fuschia is meant to be an IOT microkernel. I wouldn't be surprised if google home is using it now.

The last time i did a hot reload on a kernel it killed my WiFi card which to this day remains unusable.
Would not recommend.
Thomas Gonzalez
Hi OP, thank for creating this thread to help to break some myths about linux, the following is pasta but it provides some extra background:
Also if the games topic arises the following is pasta too but relevant:
Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.
The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.
I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?
Oh boy, I still remember when I fell for the meme, and this is the first time I'm writing about it since I mostly lurk.
The experience was awful from the begging, the installer wouldn't dual boot without me fiddling with the partitions, always crashed, and shutting down the system would always give me a black screen with some letters. Software was awful, I was required to install plugins to play MP3 AVI and whatnot and I didn't have an Internet conection at home at that time. Switched from Ubuntu to xubuntu then to mint. Never again boys
Angel Diaz
Did you stay with Mint?
I went back to Windows 10 after Ubuntu.
Angel Wilson
No, it's not. I decide when I reboot my own computer. Enjoy your continuing slide towards authoritarianism and being told what's "for your own good", "for the greater good" and how to use your own equipment.
Lincoln Turner
You are just another libertarian autist. Reboot and shut the fuck up you stupid pothead.

You'd be wrong. I haven't had to reinstall or repair Windows since 1996, unless a drive shit the bed.
