>mfw freetards spouting out all MUH FREEDUMB but using botnet google captcha to post on a closed source proprietary imageboard software
Brayden Anderson
This, Linux cucks are hypocrites.
John Martinez
I'm using Arch Linux, if it matters.
Hudson Nguyen
>communist GPL wouldn't work without copyrights. Are you saying copyrights are communist? Besides, who uses 'communist' as an insult in fucking 2017? Is it fucking throwback day or something? pic related
James Perez
>"Free software... Free society"
But but but, in such a society I should be FREE to run whatever OS and software I want, and if that happens to be Windows then what, I get slammed and lambasted because I exercise my FREEDOM to run whatever the fuck I want.
So fuck you and your so-called freedom, and I say that because I'm FREE to do so.
Jackson Evans
Fat kike stallman wants it to be a crime to sell proprietary software or DRM. BSD is true freedom.
Ryder Gomez
How long do these intro meme waves usually last?
Anthony Nelson
It has always been an insult and will remain as such as long as there is at least one sane human on this planet. Sane of course automatically excludes communists.
Gabriel Sanchez
Yeah you're free to pay into Satya Nadella's yacht fund, and to continue holding back the computing revolution. You're FREE to do it! Now get your Windows bullshit out of the Linux thread.
Lincoln Thomas

Carson Roberts
It's meaningless and your posts are only showing your insecurity.
Luke Sullivan
Hey Sup Forums, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?
Carter Bennett
Why are you crying? Did I strike a nerve? But Lincux truly is nothing but a cheap knockoff of commercial products like Windows and OS X.
Asher Carter
In 2017 pretty much every Linux distro is relatively 'lightweight'. Ubuntu LTS is a great choice for ease-of-use.
Aiden Foster
Insecurity about what? I think you are projecting something here.
Nolan Murphy
Don't forget BSD. It has a non cuckold license and has achieved more than Linux ever did.
Daniel James

Ryan Howard
Oh yes, that goes without saying. I just didn't want to make him hurt himself or anything.
Liam Brown
communism always sounds good on paper, but always goes to shit when real humans are added to the equation, so by calling you a communist he's insulting your corrupt nature
Jackson Robinson
it doesn't and you are either completely retarded or just haven't read the very "papers" you are speaking of if you think this is even remotely true.
Kevin Rodriguez
>any year >linux is lightweight no. lmao. just no.
Aaron Thompson
Get it right, Linux is a knockoff of Unix. Windows and OS X are knockoffs of Xerox Star/Alto. Is that supposed to make them less worthwhile? The fact that they built on preceding technologies?
Ryan Fisher
is sharing nonfree software communism?
Colton Murphy
Depends what you compare it to I guess. Certainly lightweight compared to the current version of Windows.
Daniel Scott
BSD is the only pure OS left.
Isaac White
no, but forcing everyone to do the same certainly is.
Henry Hill
That's great. So what version of BSD do you run?
Gavin Morgan
Yeah. It's also lightweight in the "basic features support" department. Oh, and don't forget the "bug-free" department as well.
Hudson Morales
FreeBSD, it works great.
Leo Smith
this. Have been running it for a few months now and I have to say that ditching leftist software never felt so great.
Christopher Perez
>using an """"OS"""" that doesn't even have usb support
Austin Williams
Would a rolling release distribution like tumbleweed be bad for an SSD?
Jaxson Foster
Freebsd is literally the best. Don't use it though I don't want your kind attempting to shit it up. You can stay with the Linux plebs
Samuel Lopez
are you literally ratarded? serious question here.
Camden Lewis
Which distro should I use to dualboot with Windows 10 on a gaming desktop? I primarily want it for the C environment and to learn about Linux at my own pace. Previously used Ubuntu in a virtual machine, and Mint on a laptop. Liked Ubuntu more.
Henry Murphy
As long as the BSDs are relying on ports, I will not use any of them. When they get decent package management, then I'll consider it.
Ryan Williams
>Yeah. It's also lightweight in the "basic features support" department. Oh, and don't forget the "bug-free" department as well. None of this is true
Evan Moore
Dual boot is shit. Run Ubuntu Server LTS in a virtualbox/vmware workstation or do something with Xen.
Gavin Ward
yeah, good thing they already have literally the best package management system ever. don't use it though, i really don't want your kind attempting to shit it up.
Jackson Carter
Hey, I'm searching for "/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread".
Wyatt Moore
sup, it's on this website or so i have been told reddit.com
Joshua Anderson
>knowing the website address time to go back go
Jonathan Young
Ports is not "literally the best package management system ever". Ports is a glorified shell scripts that will fetch some source code from a mirror and compile it.
Blake James
looks like you misread my post. it clearly says that it's the best package management system ever
Liam Rodriguez
Obviously you don't understand what a package management system is supposed to do.
William Powell
You've never even tried BSD. I used BSD full time on the job about 14 years ago. It was good, and it's still good on the server side, but it has nowhere near the hardware support and user support of Linux.
Juan Jackson
Use packages if you want binaries. Ports are for advanced users that know what they're doing.
Julian Lee
>hurrrrrrrrrr I'm compiling from source, look at me, look at how advanced I am
Ryan Rodriguez
can you read this post? in their it clearly states the obvious fact - ports are better and why exactly would you need the hardware support for devices you don't have or will never have? >You've never even tried BSD also, how can you possibly claim to know this?
Jose Green
that's the thing though, you don't compile from source so you can't say that. stick to your binary packages.
Hudson Davis
is arch linux communism?
Austin Lewis
Now this is shitposting. OpenBSD for example highly encourages packages over ports so the mailing lists don't get shit up with questions.
Cooper Martin
>fetching configs and source from a mirror and then compiling >"but it's not compiling"
Absolute retard
Liam King
>how can you possibly claim to know this? Because you didn't make even a single supporting statement to your claim that '[bsd] already [has] literally the best package management system ever'. It's obvious you have limited experience with it.
>and why exactly would you need the hardware support for devices you don't have or will never have? Sounds like you know exactly what hardware you'll need for the rest of your life, and you never get any new hardware unexpectedly. Good for you, but that's an atypical use case.
Elijah Price
you don't do it though so you obviously don't know what you're talking about. stick to your binaries as i have previously said. i don't need any supporting statements for a fact to be true. this is pretty simple stuff. the truth of the fact isn't dependent on anything i say
Eli Peterson
This is supposed to be a friendly Linux thread.
Hostile and anti-social BSD shills that try to bully people into using BSD can take it elsewhere. Make your own fucking general.
Nolan Martinez
>implying they aren't all just bored linux users trolling each others
Levi Ward
>stick to your binaries as i have previously said There is 0 support, so I'm pretty much fucking stuck with ports, thank you very much.
It's sucks balls.
James Young
We do and Linux cuckolds shitpost in them.
Matthew Turner
Fuck off, gnupleb. We are discussing real software here, not your play toys.
Daniel Moore

Bentley Jones
I know a lot of read writes is bad for those drives. Or are you just hating on OpenSUSE?
Jayden Russell
hmm... how can something which is literally the best suck balls? this is really puzzling to me
Samuel Gutierrez
Elementary OS has been my daily driver for the last six months, I have never used any distro for this long, and I have no intention of changing any time soon.
James Morales
Well and newcomers see this thread, turn 360° and walk away
Cooper Evans
How can BSD shills get so butthurt?
>Linux cuckolds You've been lurking Sup Forums too much. BSD license is for cucks.
Austin Allen
you don't have to worry about that too much if your drive isn't literal shit. it won't change much from your distro anyway.
Nicholas King
nice blogpost
Jeremiah Jenkins
Linux is controlled by cucked kikes. BSD is uncucked and pro white and not controlled by kikes
Asher Morris
>it sucks >it's the best >it's not the best what the hell are you talking about >SHUT UP!!!! SHUT UUUUUPP!!! LALALALA IT'S THE BEST I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALA
Either false flagging or legitimate mentally ill. Can't tell.
David Barnes
>legitimately now fuck off, linpleb.
Tyler Foster
>BSD >pro white lol
>BSD >not controlled by kikes You literally sign away every right and give the kikes the right to use everything without giving back.
Aaron Flores
here's where you are wrong, gnupleb. i don't write anything for bsd. i cuck EVERY system i use and don't give anything back.
Gavin James
No, go make your own fucking general.
Evan Bailey
guess what linpleb? you're in it right now

Cooper Foster
>that file name wew. i wonder which website this one came from
Kevin Sanders
Linux is controlled by corporations you mean, as the entire kernel.org board of directors is like Qualcomm and Samsung execs.
In other news not related to the obvious Sup Forums bait anybody hack on Hurd here or a different kernel completely than kernel.org/Sys-V/BSD?
Nicholas Torres
yes i mean corporate kikes from samsung and qualcomm. >different kernel but H*RD isn't a kernel. it's a piece of shit desperately trying to be one, sure, but it ain't a kernel
Justin Torres
lubuntu probs puppy if you really want something super light
John Cox
(You)
Samuel Taylor
I saved it from Sup Forums and I named it laugh-milk.gif because I already have a laugh.gif.

Xavier Parker
Haha, just paranoid, that's all
Brody Campbell
Install Linux if you want spics and sandniggers in your country, cucks. Install BSD if you want a white tomorrow.
Chase Rogers
>likely story Glad you admit that.
>back to your shitty website I'm already here????
Luis Moore
But BSDs are maintained by literal sandniggers.
Caleb Gonzalez
Which one, there is more than one BSD.
Nicholas Ward
Are you commies gonna debase a beloved national monument this time?
You disgust me.
Ryan Lewis
How is you using non libre software going to help the "free software movement".Your individual actions mean nothing
Mason White
