SUPER RESPONSIVE / FAST SOFTWARE IF YOU BUILD FROM SOURCE.

Shitty open sores clones of good software
Shitty hardware support
Shitty update systems
Shit breaking
Never having photoshop or any high quality software.
Linux doesn't even have paint. Only a shitty knockoff that can't do anythng.

Also theres only really 4 distros and every other distro is based on one of the main 4 with the exception of a few that have even less software.

>Shitty update systems

That's an interesting way to spell windows 10.

>Shitty hardware support

As opposed to having to install fucking ethernet, audio, chipset(kek) drivers after an install, right?

>Shit breaking
>not using a stable distro

>Never having photoshop or any high quality software
>what the fuck is a VM

>Shitty open sores clones of good software
Name them.
I like my Gnu/Linux programs better than the wangblows ones
>Shitty hardware support
Works on my system, maybe don't use shitty hardware?
>Shitty update systems
Learn how to manage your system and how to upgrade shit.
>Shit breaking
Read above, idiot.
>Never having photoshop or any high quality software.
We have gimp. If you can't do anything with it, it falls not upon the program, it falls upon the user.

Free-software fags, give me a reason to stop using iOS.

Why so angry and defensive?

so you're not talking about Apple, now?

>implying I'm mad
Faggot

You are a CIA nigger

You won't have an anal probe up your butt anymore if you switch to Linux.

I love Linux because of the unified package manager and security over Windows 10, but I'm experiencing major screen tearing with every distro I've tried so far and it's pissing me off.

This might sound odd, but if you are using a machine for only every day web browsing and don't need to install any exotic software Linux is superior. My main PC that uses Windows broke down and I had to dig out a 7 year old netbook with a shitty Atom processor and 1gb of ram. I put lubuntu on it and it's perfectly usable.

It's free and it's fast. If you want something more advanced all the options are there. If you just want something simple it just works out of the box on a fresh install.

windows can't play tuxracer.
photoshop can't draw circles.

>Philosophical
- Microsoft embeds SPYWARE into compilers.-
- Microsoft "accidentally" publishes secure boot golden key so UEFI systems can be remotely backdoored.
- Microsoft embeds SPYWARE that you "can" turn off.
- Microsoft legitimately sponsors "telemarketers" to spread FUD about other platforms
-Microsoft has "coincidentally" this variable called "NSAKEY" in their windows kernel
>Users' viewpoint
-Updates take forever. NO way to rank update mirror preference.
-Updates include more telemetry and ads that you have to "disable" or "hide".
-Atom table is now permanently exploited, NO antivirus can save windows now.
-Cannot customize desktop environment, leading to higher resource consumption
-Highly unstable updates. (Updates known to break webcams, start menu, legacy drivers, delete user-installed apps etc)
-"working hours" : Users have to restrict themselves from using computers in certain hours.
-Windows 10 is forever a beta software, it's a rolling release with tons of new unstable tweaks
-Limited controls over PC
-Little or NO UI consistency, or customizability
-Default programs are reset in major updates
-Can't delete multiple software at onve
-Shitty file system "NTFS" ROTS over time, makes older installation slow and unreliable.
-svchost continues to take memory until you reboot
-TONS of malware written for windows, Windows 10 removed mitigation just because "microsoft programs now have built in protection against malware", leaving 3rd party software vulnerable
-No package manager and software repository. No one gives a shit about windows Appstore, it has less software than FreeBSD. Can't update whole system, including the software in one go.
-Windows kills your HDD, specially SSDs
-Programs are never uninstalled fully, you have to clean registry, delete local files with an "uninstaller"
-Nearly impossible to debug, mostly due to cryptic and nonsense error messages.

No wonder windows is dead outside desktops while Linux runs everywhere.

Way better user management (daily remember that UAC is shit)
Most distributions come with repositories for trusted and known good software (it's a great advantage over the need of searching for them on the web)
Documentation for most software is easier to find and to read (man, info, help)

That said, speaking about desktop usage, every OS sucks. Linux is the one that sucks less in my view, but maybe not in yours. Just use whatever the fuck you want to, without bothering people with different demands

Linux - runs Windows pretty well.

Posted from my Arch machine

A Windows user wouldn't be able to mentally comprehend why I use Linux. It's like justifying a space rocket to a mouse.

Oh yeah, windows is more unstable than Linux these days

Sorry, we don't want Sup Forums plebs to use our OS.

"Fuck off, we're full"

weird, considering i hated linux at first. i just didn't want to have my browsing habits shared with advertisers.

1. General well-being in my own computers. I don't have to fear waking up one morning to a completely different OS version and all of my shit moved or deleted.

2. Free, open, server software that's easy to set up, encrypt and use. With Windows, I would've never even considered the possibility of making and using Plex, my own cloud server or email server.

3. The freedom to do whatever I want, however I want, whenever I want. If I want a lighter desktop, I can install one. If I want a heavier desktop for some effects and ease of use, I can install one. I can do whatever I want.

Just remember who purchased your computer. You did. You can make it do whatever you want, because it's yours. Windows doesn't allow that, and no one disallows me from using my own well-spent cash.

But Linux can't emulate old underground doujin games :(

Cs6 works fine under wine as well.

>Shitty open sores clones of good software
Because apache is a shitty clone and not the other way around for Enterprise.
>Shitty hardware support
Because Windows will work after the hard drive is moved to a different computer? Enjoy that motherboard support.
>Shitty update systems
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo pacman -Syyuu
Learn to type?
>Shit breaking
In 20010 sure. These days things are a lot tighter. I haven't had an issue with any of my Debian or Arch boxes in years.
>Never having photoshop or any high quality software.
Here we go pretending Wine doesn't exist. I'm also fine with Gimp and Krita is awesome for the painters out there.
>Linux doesn't even have paint. Only a shitty knockoff that can't do anythng.
Ditto the last response

Everything you said is truebut games are more important than security and privacy

I'm using Windows 10 since day one and it NEVER crashed on me

>Pajeet can't find a better job after all this time being a paid shill.
Stay mad street shitter.

Good for you, redirect yourself to in that case

So linux is good for diverse applications, easy and customizable set-up, and server or multimedia use.

If you have to ask you'll never know

You don't have to reboot your computer every time you update and you can choose when to update

>Inplying OP isn't a poo in loo in a mud hut.

Unlike me.
On the other hand, I have been using Linux for quite a while now, and it NEVER crashed on me as well.

God bless my server.

prove me wrong

Does it now? I thought there were still some bugs open in WineHQ about CS6...

freedom
safety
privacy

>but I don't care about those
superior approach to software deployment/updating
easy maintenance (depending on distro)
system-level functionality that does not exist on windows or costs hundreds of dollars
gratis
flexible

>but I don't want to give up muh video games
then stay on windows

if you don't see any, then fuck off back to

The only program you use is probably your browser.

I can't. If you think employed people care more about manchild games than security you are brain damaged.

Depends on the system but it can emulate games. Look up qemu.

I'm employed and I like my games while I do my best to keep my system secure.

>I want mah Windozz cause muh gaems XDD!!!11
>Loonix is shiet because no vydia LOL
Is there anything more pathetic than a vidya manchildren?

I tried to install xubuntu 16.10 on my pc but my cursor is completely stuck at the upper left corner the whole time.

So I installed it using keyboard but once X starts, the cursor is stuck again.

Is this a known problem?

No. I use it mostly for work (IT Admin). Also several games have been played on my pc.

I dont have to convince you shit you little faggot, now fuck off

In all seriousness, i know this other thread says how bad OS X is, but isn't everything you guys want also in BSD systems? I mean, you get around some issues with OS x through the command prompt...it is relatable that way.

Unless you want the extensive package managers or server/multimedia setup, TrueBSD loaded together with OS X, and a simple just works iOS ipad, seems pretty reasonable. The apple devices alone do their job, and BSD or Linux for a desktop, with fancy DE gimmicks, plugins, and peripherals, and enough resources to spare.

So for other stuff you basically just stick to your needs, depending on which OS you want.
kek

If you play games then it has crashed before

Well no. It didn't at all.
Not even when I played around with overclocking.
And I gave my i7 6700k a beefy overclock to 5GHz. But there was too much voltage running through to feel comfy about that

Oh and I got a RAID 0 over 2 SSDs.
Hasn't crashed on me either

If you are employed I'm sure you can afford popular toys for your unhealthy obsession that are meant for kids.

>Is it a known problem
No, works just fine here. What you are saying is basically "Oh I installed windows and graphics are fucked, is it a known problem?"

And I'm a millionaire with a 9 inch dick

Oh I forgot something a few months back.

Windows fucked my TPM config after an update

Dude where did you get your time machine to 1997?

I've tried it and it doesn't work with most.

So you're basically saying after 1 year of no-life everyday involvement in linux I will be able to install paint software without breaking anything and have a genuine linux experience that's still very limited compared to what other OS provides from the start right? Good to know.

...

change employed people by mindless workers and I agree with you. Being an adult is not being a cuck at work everyday to make your boss richer while destroying your own life.
We all know than windows is shit, but if it's the only viable gateway to my hobbies, I won't trigger my autism because some shitlords CAN BUT MOST LIKELY WONT target me
and spy on my flick-shots and pentakills even if some telemetry goes out at every move I make, this shouldn't change my life anytime soon.

>Loonix is shiet because no vydia LOL
I never said that linux is shit, it just not worth it to turn full paranoid and give up on everything I like for the sole purpose of being contrarian and feeling special.
I use linux (debian, rhel, edgeOS) and some obscure bsd shit and a shitload of vm to try things out and not fall behind for my work (sysadmin).

>Is there anything more pathetic than a vidya manchildren?
A mindless worker who enslaved himself to a shitty job with a family to support BEFORE reaching a high and stable income to sustain his whole family AND still having time and energy to spend great times with them.

kys

I genuinely have no clue where all these anti-Linux remarks are even coming from.

Are they just bait? How is it possible to think Linux fails so hard with the amount of modern distros and desktop environments that cater to new users?

>2017
>using NTFS
how is wankblows still legal?

probably one of the most comprehensive comments on windows vs linux
saved.

Paid shills, I don't have the infograph though, some user might help.

>try and to switch to Linux.
LOL dumb wintoddler, FUCK OFF, I do not want you to use Linux in any way.

>paid
>UN*paid

>it's ugly
there are desktops that are way better looking than Windows or OSX
>i have no idea what i'm doing
that's the main problem here. everyone learns to use windows at some point. the effort of learning the linux essentials isn't any higher but switching to a new OS after 10 or 20 years of using the same thing can be intimidating. the days when we first used windows are long forgotten but if you really think about it, there was a learning curve.

pretty sure those fucking street shitter shills got rid of the desktop threads too, desu

They're honestly just people who have attempted to use Linux but fail due to their own lack of intuition and intelligence.

So here they are, forever mad at us because they're too dumb to see themselves as anything but perfect.

Reminds me of a few episodes of COPS where they arrest some guy who just keeps saying the same thing because he literally doesn't have the mental capacity to form another sentence.

Half of the population is below average, after-all.

kek
well put

>Half of the population is below average, after-all.
stealing this shit.

Desktop threads are alive on /wg/.

it's actually below median

>implying I give a flying fuck about Windows users

>Reminds me of a few episodes of COPS where they arrest some guy who just keeps saying the same thing because he literally doesn't have the mental capacity to form another sentence.

Was he saying "I dindu nuffin"?

>Half of the population is below average, after-all.
>Half of the population
>not atleast 4/5
Why do think apple, google,mcdonalds, Coca Cola, microsoft and every nefarious corparation like that still exist? If people were thinking by themselves these cancer would have been dead a long time ago.
With street-shitters, mud-eaters and fast-food eaters, humanity has a shitload of cleaning to do before having the right to be called an advanced specie...

>Downloading debian in VM.
>Finish Installation
>reboot
>Black Screen with grey line
>cant type anything or do anything

Anyone know how to fix?

Try installing the proprietary drivers and disabling VSYNC. This will usually hard-limit your refresh rate & fps to 60 hz & 60 fps, but there will be no screen tearing.

>post reasons to switch

no

use what you want faggot

if you don't see any value in freedom over your own computer and just want to use it as an overpriced gaming console that's your choice and no one else's

>- Microsoft "accidentally" publishes secure boot golden key so UEFI systems can be remotely backdoored.
I'd like more info on this. Can it be used to boot ARM linux on devices that are secureboot-locked to Windows? eg. Asus VivoTab

arstechnica.com/security/2016/08/microsoft-secure-boot-firmware-snafu-leaks-golden-key/

>Never having photoshop or any high quality software.
Why do people care about Linux not having Photoshop so much? Ignoring the fact that VMs / Wine exist, I doubt that the majority of people who say this actually need any kind of image editing software.

>disabling vsync locks refresh rate to 60 hz

But then how would they make their shitty image macros with Impact over the top of a highly compressed image?! They're professional graphic designers, you know...

It can as long they use either opengl or directx9 or older.

If you want to figure out how you operating system works in a natural way, and like the idea of free software, as well as don't give too much of a shit about vidya(a lot of semi-old games still work great even on machines with weak graphic capabilities, as long as you put the settings low. Source games, including gmod, run fine on my thinkpad x201 for instance), go for it. Also, you can leave your computer on for longer, use less resources, run a lot of programs quicker, and have a lot more options regarding what/how your computer runs, among other reasons, then linux would be good for you too. If you like vidya that isn't supported on linux/care about graphics, or have to use software that doesn't work/run well on linux, then either keep to windows or setup a vm/dualboot if you are interested in linux.

amd's gpu not works in linux

>amd's gpu not works in linux
Then explain this:
That's an AMD Radeon HD5450 running 3 screens under linux. Using the open source drivers. 1920 x 1080, 1600 x 900 & another 1600 x 900. Last I saw, they sold brand new for under $30.

they do. at least they produce an image. but face it, they're not good for anything more under windows either.

>open-source drivers

...

and that's bad because...?
if you want gayming performance you don't use linux or amd anyways.

if u need to make threads like this, u have no reason

>he's mad because it works
Just wait until you find out Apple are only going to put AMD graphics in your $2000 facebook machines from now on. :^)

Linux is used only by pedophiles like Richard Stallman

linux is used by anyone who uses the internet

also used for host CP pics lol

Linux is a cancer

Is it true I can play Win9X games easily on Wine or whatever that was?

ok let's stop using the internet then.
to be honest, I have actually and honestly tried. I disabled my internet access at home for 3 months last year. can't really say I enjoyed it but it was a valuable experience.

yes

Old Windows games generally work pretty well in Wine.

Sweet, installing gentoo now.
