I think I'm finally ready to install Gentoo.
I've mocked you guys for a long time but I think I've finally realised that Microsoft no longer has the general public's best interest at heart. Why do you guys recommend gentoo ? Why not Ubuntu ?
Way too obvious flamewar post. Try again next time and come back with a better story
William Hughes
I'm serious man, seems that windows is perpetually updating. When it's not installing updates it's busy downloading them.
Matthew Ortiz
Gentoo is end game start with something simple and work your way up trisquel would be a easy choice that would respect your freedom.
Colton Nguyen
>recommending freetard shit
OP if you want an easy to set-up and usable distro pick one of these: >Ubuntu >Fedora >Antergos >Solus
Then move onto something like Debian, Arch or Gentoo if you want.
Asher Barnes
Windows is getting weird for sure. For starters Windows 10 installed itself when I wasn't looking. Then the thing that made me stop using 10 altogether was Cortana started using a lot of cpu resources when I shut Cortana off. >talking to gf who dislikes fast food >Jokingly say "We should get Domino's for dinner!" >5 mins later theres Domino's ads on the sidebar on websites >notice computer (T420) is spewing out heat >check processes >Cortana - CPU time 0:59 >NOPE! I haven't touched my Thinkpad since. I'm sure the microphone listens and advertises based on what it hears. Plus the other telemetry shit I just can't trust Microsoft anymore. The updates are another story but yeah they're really a minor annoyance incomparison to the invasion of privacy to that degree. >inb4 everything steals your data and mines the shit out of you I know but this is NSA style shit to get me to order a pizza. Fuck Windows.
Hunter Bennett
Yeah everyone just fucking loves turning their computer on to be forced to wait through half an hour of updates.
Take back control of your hardware and install some free software.
Parker Johnson
Trisquel is literaly just downstream ubuntu and it runs faster due to the lack of canonical's bloatware
William King
>Why do you guys recommend gentoo ? >Being this dumb Listen: you are either a newfag or a dumbass. Maybe both. Understand this: nobody is genuinely recommending gentoo. Gentoo is a piece of shit. If you want a legitimate linux experience, consider Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora.
Ryder Bell

Nathan Howard
>>Jokingly say "We should get Domino's for dinner!" mins later theres Domino's ads on the sidebar on websites Shit like this has been happening to me as well.
Carter Hernandez
well if you don't prefer freetard shit there's always Windows because whatever linux distro you choose %99 of OS will be free as in freedom and no, Fedora isn't broken
Caleb Cruz
>Fedora isn't broken Yes it is its a fucking testing distribution and their model of releases completely dismisses bug reports rather than address them.
Liam Brown
>Why do you guys recommend gentoo ? It's a joke. Don't actually use gentoo. Use Mint.

You're going to try some simple flavor of linux, like ubunti
and you're going to try and install something simple and realize how many fucking hoops you have to jump through
then one of the programs you use all the time won't work right
then you'll realize you can't play any of your games either
then you'll uninstall unbando and reinstall windows 7.
Linux is for autists who don't want anything to work correctly. They want an operating system that you have to spend 40 hours just to get kind of working okay.
If you have a job, and can't spend 40 hours a week babysitting your OS, stick with windows 7.
Logan Richardson

Yeah that's why large organizations use it, because it's trash and doesn't work. They want an operating system that you have to spend 40 hours just to get kind of working okay. If you're retarded and install some experimental niche distro.
Tyler Gutierrez
>using apt-get fuck off
Luis Hughes
switch to linux or install windows 7; for fuck sake being afraid of your own fucking hardware is so silly, you paid for the hardware with your hard earned money, you have right to be not listened with YOUR own fucking hardware.
Nathan Barnes
>sudo apt-get install Already a failure for anyone who isn't an autist with the time to look up and memorize a bunch of commands.
>Dual boot Or you can just boot windows 7, have everything just werks, and ignore the pile of shit that is linux and the 80+ hours it takes to configure it properly.
>Yeah that's why large organizations use it, because it's trash and doesn't work. Large organizations use it because they can afford to pay people for the time it takes to actually learn linux. They also have to configure their systems whether it's windows or linux, so there's no out-of-the-box-just-werks magic like there is using windows at home.
>If you're retarded and install some experimental niche distro. Any of the big linux distros are a complete failure with their user interface and design. You idiots actually expect people to learn commands for the command line interface. It's a fucking joke operating system made by people so smart that they end up being stupid. Linux will NEVER take off so long as it continues to require the user to actually study and learn how it works.
Do you see people looking up command lines for their android phones? Do you see what marketshare android phones have?
Maybe one day it will finally sink in for you linux autists that you need to make the OS simple for normal people to use it. Until that day (which I seriously doubt will ever come along - we're over 25 years in and linux STILL can't compete with windows, sad.) Linux will remain an ignorable blip in the market; a niche product for people with no jobs and too much time on their hands. Meanwhile those of us who actually value our time, and need to get actual work done, will continue using windows.
Juan Scott
>literally too much of a brainlet to memorize ONE command.
Cameron Reed
You are 100% right. I think I'm gonna go with Debian and and virtualize Windows 10 to play gaymes. They are the only reason I'm still a Windows babby after all.

Complaining to the "restaurant" isn't going to do anything. How do I get this asshole fired, or better yet, killed?
Caleb Clark
lincuck sucks
Leo Thomas
>a niche product for people with no jobs and too much time on their hands. >Large organizations use it because they can afford to pay people for the time it takes to actually learn linux. What did the pajeet mean by this?
Tyler Hughes
By all means, keep burying your heads in the ground (or up your asses as more often seems the case); Windows continues to have the majority marketshare in the home, to the point of virtual monopoly.
This has happened because: You don't need to know any commands of any sort to use it Installation and uninstallation of programs is easy Virtually everything people want to run is compatible Basic users can do everything they want to do, painlessly and easily
Guess what also follows this formula? iOS, and Android
Both of these have more significant marketshare than Linux, because they are linux/unix that have been designed with the typical user in mind - NOT an autistic neet with too much time on his hands.
Do linux autists want their operating system to gain marketshare? Yes? - Then linux autists need to make it simpler and easier to use. No? - Then do nothing and leave the operating system as it is. You'll go another 25 years with no progress.
All of us with an IQ above room temperature can figure this out. Linux autists still can't understand.
Anthony Miller
You keep bringing up Android. You know it runs off the "big bad Linux" right? As I said before >im not just a shill im retarded too
You are operating under the false assumption that Windows is easier to use, it isn't.
Also you are a projecting moron.
Owen Sanders
How are you going to change my picture? :)
I have room to be smug, because windows is absolutely dominating linux.
Feel free to make your shitty autist-OS into something decent at ANY time. I'll be happy to use it when you do.
For now though - you can continue to pretend that everyone else is wrong and you are right, and linux is just perfect how it is. And my image will continue to be true as you spiral away to irrelevance.
I am right; the market knows I am right. You have absolutely nothing to show for your precious linux except hobbyist neets installing it on their computers to play around with. Linux is a toy, it is not an operating system for the actual market.
Aaron Walker
Anyone in an actual IT job is going to be interacting with Linux at some point. A large portion of servers run Linux pajeet.
Juan Gomez
Get turbofucked, tripster zon.
Christopher Bennett
>2017 >Not having a network wide update server for Windows to handle this kind of shit My friend, thou art a plebeian.
Leo Campbell
We're not talking about linux at work though, are we?
You've had people "using linux at work" (largely just sysadmins, not your average users, lol) and it has changed absolutely nothing for TWENTY FIVE (25) YEARS
Until idiots like you wake up and smell the coffee, windows is going to dominate 25 years more.
Here's what you need to do: 1. Admit that I am right; to yourself - not me. I don't give a fuck about the validation. What's important is you pull your head out of your ass 2. Pull your head out of your ass 3. Start working to solve the problems linux has with normie-usability
Until then, your shit operating system will continue to spiral down the drain.
I can't make it any clearer to linux autists, but you're all too dumb to get it. Easier to just blame everyone else than actually listening to criticism and fixing it.
Linux will never gain appreciable marketshare if it continues the way it is. On the other hand, if you actually listen to me, and take action to improve linux, it'll be "the desktop OS everyone uses!" within 2-5 years, guaranteed.
Make it easy for normies to use, you retards. Design your operating system for retards, you retards.
Or leave it how it is and wallow in your sub 2% marketshare, whatever.
Jack Walker
>marketshare oh shit, abandoning everything so I can be part of a larger number suck shit linux fags
Honestly OP, if you're too stupid for Windows 10, you're far, far too dumb for any linux distro.
Brayden Barnes
Just install Ubuntu. It works.
Jaxson Hughes
Another thing about windows 10, it just isn't as transparent anymore. I mean there's like two control panels now ("settings" for the metro side of it and then the regular control panel). It's unbelievable. It's like two operating systems crammed into one in a way that just isn't very elegant. It just feels like bloated garbage at this point.
Jordan Ross
>I mean there's like two control panels now fucking still? >just isn't very elegant that's putting it nicely. there's absolutely no reason for m$ to spend years just to port a control panel. it's pathetic
Nolan Johnson
>I can't make it any clearer to linux autists, but you're all too dumb to get it. how dumb do you have to be to not realize that apple already has the "herr durr I like shiny things" market locked down. What a stupid fucking idea to try and steal market share from them. Meanwhile linux is always working on "normie" usage, but the problem is that windows has a lock on the gaming sector and that's the real issue
why don't you pull your own head out of your own ass.
