If Linux is so great why are people still using Windows?

If Linux is so great why are people still using Windows?

if water is so good why do people drink soda

Because those people have jobs and a life.

photoshop

people literally do not know it exists. I had a business course and only 2 or 3 people out of like 30-40 knew who redhat or what linux was, I was the only one in the class using linux

because people have hobbies, go to work, want to play and do shit instead of ricing awesome
you fucking spergs

It doesn't preinstalled on most computers sold in stores. If places like Best Buy started selling only Linux PC's then more people would use it. Keep in mind, most people buy computers to be used as facebook and porn machines.

Linux isn't preinstalled

games.

Monopolies.

Windows has a monopoly. If more laptops had Linux options and you shave the windows license price off they'd be much more popular.

Let me explain things to you easy.
Linux works if you have the right stuff and it works if you don't care much about your possibilities.

It's buggy, clunky and has no software, it's a cool toy to play with but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for daily use.

If Windows is so great, then why those, who get into Linux never come back?

Jordan came back, most came back.

yeah. already showed some examples of places where there are a ton of laptops loaded with linux and freedos.

Don't see any increase in marketshare from there.

If Windows is so great why are people still using Linux

Or macOS

Jordan's a faggot

>It's buggy, clunky and has no software, it's a cool toy to play with but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for daily use.
Yep pretty much describes my experience with Windows. Basically just a toy OS for your video games, but too clunky and unstable to do any real work.

If metal is so great why are people still listen nicki minaj?
If trump is so retarded why people elected him
If hitler was evil why german people voted for him
If europe will be islamic by 2060 why most people still support immigration?
If global warming exists why no one cares

Because %50 of population is even more retarded than the other one, linux users have more iq points than mac os and windows users (based on a survey, windows users was the lowest), you can't except everyone to be smart, can you?

>people with jobs
Sure sucks when your insecure piece of shit OS gets hacked all the time

Because people still thing PC=Windows.

>linux users have more iq points than mac os and windows users (based on a survey, windows users was the lowest)
Source? not saying I don't believe you, that actually sounds about accurate for Windows users, pic related

Been running Windows since Workgroups. Never had a security problem.

>anecdotal evidence
not an argument, fuck your shitty timesink OS

Universities have more than enough money to pay for that shit

Linux does what Windon't

>ransomware spreading
>let's leave all other pcs turned on

most normies don't even know what Linux is

Why would they? There is no publicity or anything, PCs bring Windows pre-installed and it already has the majority of the software.
There is just no easy way for them to even know it is a possibility, and most don't care that much about their pc or notebook.
Just like people will just eat whatever is easy, not many actually try to inform themselves.

Games, liniggs cant into gayman beacous le shit eckdeedeedee

Not only games but driver support is terrible, even properly ported games run like shit.

I did indeed, fuck linux

if i wasn't a programmer i doubt i'd be using linux. it requires slightly more than average amounts of knowledge about computers to use properly. and i don't really see what benefits exist for people who just use their computer for browsing.

Coming from some neckbeard piece of shit with no stroke in any arena, that means a lot.

PC gaming is shit anyways, literally all just sloppy console ports, generic first-person shooters, boring MMO grindfests, and a million garbage "indie" games.

LE PC MASTURRRR RAYCE XD is the most autistic fucking thing I've ever seen. There is no reason not to just buy a gaming console when all the "good" pc games are just sloppy console ports anyways. You don't see grown married men building "gaming rigs," but it's not uncommon for them to own a PS4 or something.

sounds like something a faggot would say

>waaah linux is shit for games so windows must be too!

"PC master race" is just a reddit meme. Some people just play on PC because they already have a computer and couldn't be bothered to buy another device.

As opposed to these mythical "survey results" being bandied about? Still waiting on a source for those

You would know.

nice faggy comeback

sorry, can't find it, there was a image some user posted -it even had source on the picture- and it was legit but i can't find it on google now.
Also why bully boogie2810382910?

Games

he's a bad man!

Grown married men do build gaming rigs, because it turns out only autists on Sup Forums think gaming is for retards, the world at Large thinks otherwise. What you really mean is youre such a sad pathetic sack of shit that no woman could stand to be near you long enough to get married in the first place, unless it's to some black fag to pump your ass full of nigger jizz

...

Because what some cunt on Sup Forums says has ever mattered to anyone. What's also hilarious is that you pack of pricks just parrot the same tired "insults" thread after thread, it's beyond boring

>Grown married men do build gaming rigs
stopped reading right there, as it's pretty obvious you're just making shit up.

also,
>rigs
fucking cancer. you should have stayed on reddit.

Software support is really good and its also really good for every day consumers.

Backwards compatibility is really well done and there isn't a shitload of different "flavors" of Windows to make sure your software is compatible over. This backwards compatibility means that stuff will mostly always work no matter what version of windows you are on (except driver issues in windows 10).

For the user, Windows (and for that matter OSX) is way more simple. Yes linux has the argument of it can be more customizable and really easy to tweak, the end user doesn't actually want that. The end user doesn't want to learn commandline or get used to a new environment. They also don't want to have to go through the pain of finding a linux alternative (if there even is one) to their favorite software. They just want it to work the way they need it to, with minimal learning. Lazy, yes. However it makes sense none the less.

The really good software support and a simple environment that actually works (no annoying compatibility issues which like it or not, Linux is famed for), make it the best choice for almost everyone.

damn this fag is getting pretty upset over nothing

Wow what a surprise, the results of the survey are nowhere to be found. Stay NEET g

come on user, fat fucks are people too

Oh no, please don't break out the reddit insults, think of my feelings, oh the humanity. Im so hurt by the same shit that's on countless threads on g every day

sounds pretty believable. not saying every windows user is a fucking retard, but anything that appeals to the largest number of people is bound to have the highest number or retards.

>If trump is so retarded why people elected him
>If hitler was evil why german people voted for him

needs more redpill, t. Sup Forums

FUD

Wouldn't say I'm upset, if anything I'm bored shitless reading the same meaningless shite that's always on g, it's like the worthwhile g posters finally left and all that remains are autistic parrots, screeching plebbit, wangblows and faggot endlessly. It's equal parts sad and pathetic

yeah I think that's why statistics like that are flawed. to get an accurate assessment, you'd have to test people from the same educational background, among other factors.

you're bound to get a million retards on the most popular OS

because of

But then I could just make some bullshit up like most Linux users are NEETs with autism. There was totally a survey, the results said so, just because I can't find it doesn't make it false

you're upset enough about it to bitch about it instead of ignore it. fag

If I if ired it then I'd be ignoring 99.9% of g, and that's the real tragedy. This used to be a decent board, now it's half pols landfill, half edgy teenagers who are too mentally disturbed to play nice on 9gag and reddit

doesn't really matter, this isn't a college essay or something where you are getting graded on providing sources. In any case, I have no doubt that an IQ test would have more retards using Windows, not because of Windows itself, only because it's so popular, so you'll have more people using it, hence more retards.

then stay on 9gag and reddit? problem solved?

This would happen with any OS with a big market share.

The only reason why Linex is not targeted as much, is because nobody gives a shit about it. And it still has zero-day vulnerabilities.

>that damage control
stay mad with your insecure toy OS

And there it is, g in a nut shell; there was a survey saying windows users were tards, said survey can't be found, but doesn't matter cause some autists says so with no proof whatsoever. In that case, Linux users are a pack of mongoloid freaks who wouldn't last a day in normal society. Doesn't matter if there was a survey, I said so so it must be true

So rather than rid the board of the cancer, your solution is to tell those who want a half decent g to go elsewhere?

literally doesn't matter, it's an anonymous imageboard and no one will have gained anything by convincing someone else of their "superior tastes."

What's interesting is how upset the winfags get

yes. Sup Forums is dead.

What's really interesting is how delusional Linux fags are

stay mad with your insecure toy OS

I like this way of saying it more :-)

I don't know why you guys want more people to use linux. Then your sekrit club would be over.

And you'll get plenty of viruses.

Nobody will think you're cool for using linux anymore if everyone used it. Think about that.

But I guess it feels really lonely in the linux world. =/

goddamn, you couldn't pay me to use this piece of shit

What's really funny is that most Linux users started off on Windows and left it after experiencing the superiority of an UNIX-like OS while those still on Windows... well, that's all they know. For us, it's similar to the allegory of the cave but troglodytes like yourself keep saying the cave is better than being outside.

Stay autistic with your OS no one gives a shit about

>thinking it's important whether or not tech illiterates care about it or not
Doesn't matter, still superior to Windows in every single way :^)

Soda > everything else > water

you can install it with playonlinux tbhfam

because it just werks and everything just werks on it

And here we see an example of the previously mentioned delusion that inflicts Linux users. Keep telling yourself the world actually cares about OS choice and that your decision to use a "superior" OS actually matters

see shit is a buggy clunky piece of shit. how come even fucking Arch just works nowadays after you install it, but Windows just gets worse with each iteration?

but user
explain how i'm wasting time replying to you if it didn't work?

running Win10

>Keep telling yourself the world actually cares about OS choice
It's literally not important whether or not someone cares about it. Its lack of popularity hasn't stopped it from being superior to Windows in every single way.

Pre - installed

When the survival and proliferation of your OS depends on it, you need to care. This is the main problem of you people, and the best part is you get told why the average person doesn't use Linux every single day and you keep wailing on about how much better you are than everyone, it's hilarious

>our decision to use a "superior" OS actually matters

It does for me, besides being more productive on a super responsive platform, get to chuckle at you Windtoddlers wetting your diapers whenever malware spreads like wildfire as we've already seen.

>superior
>guise did you manage to make this gpu work?

>no serious software, only hobbyist shit

Yeah, sure.

see

call me when it has any game other than super tux kart

How about you call us after you get a big boy job.

but you play games after your job

>install it
>just works
>while windows still crashes all the time

also,
>no serious software
like what, fucking office? there is absolutely nothing it does that libre office doesn't, they're the same, in face libre is better because it doesn't come with DRM shit and you don't have to crack it. or photoshop? yeah it must suck being tied to a garbage OS for only one piece of software.

>hobbyist shit
yeah tell me more about your gaming hobby.

so few use Linux that the majority don't give a shit about what you're saying, and more often than not when you spread your ideas and opinions on Linux to other users, they'll start a flamewars with you over some minor horseshit that really doesn't matter to anyone in the long run, it's a toxic shithole of a community and you all wallow in it filled with pride like it's some sort of achievement we should all strive for.

People with big boy jobs don't have the time to fiddle with a broken OS all day.

Butthurt that people play games all day long and make more money than you for it?

you mean like windows? people with "big boy jobs" are having a really hard time today, pic related
