Windows holdouts?

Which Windows program is preventing you from ditching this garbage OS and installing a real OS that protects you and doesn't spy on you?

Nothing.
Video Games and Photoshop.

But I use Windows in a VM for Games and Photoshop CC 2017 works really well on Wine once you've got GalliumNine installed.

MS Paint! It's the perfect tool for making Polandball comics.

How do you install gallium nine? some links?

Linux has mtpaint.

Real GPUs are on PC hardware so no Mac
Decent 3D software to use GPUs is on Windows so no Linux

>Every game and executable out there wine is crappy and barely functional as of now
>A decent firewall
none of that "everything outside of this port gets blocked" crap since any random idiot can do a port scan making the "firewall" completely useless
>Decent logging tools
I don't want to scroll through a wall of text in the terminal just to see the active connections

How do you play games in a VM without input lag? I've tried GPU passthrough but I gave up on it after the stub REFUSED to claim my GPU, but only the gpu audio driver.

>Real GPUs are on PC hardware so no Mac
Hackintosh
eGPU

good question
Idk it's set up as dual-boot for those "just-in-case" situations

Depends on your distribution, google-fu will help here, just google " galliumnine"
For convenience, here is there padoka ppa if you're on an Ubuntu or derivative launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/ archive/ubuntu/mesa

You will need to be running an AMD or Nvidia GPU (No Intel here) and the FOSS driver stack (no proprietary drivers, so bad performance on nVidia since nouveau isn't exactly fast)

I had the same issue (dual AMD) I had to blacklist radeon and AMDGPU so pci_stub would claim ownership of my 290X at boot.
I then just made a shitty systemd service to run sudo modprobe radeon after network.target is done which cuts in just in time before the login screen.

SolidWorks

fuck off back to Sup Forums

FL Studio + VSTs
Free Manga Downloader

Didn't stop me tho. I just run Windows as a VM for those.

Every time I install linux I get tired of fighting with my computer to render a fucking font correctly, and I don't currently have a way to back up my windows install, so I'm just lazily sitting on it.

I don't think you know how firewalls work. Or even TCP.

Im sure MS is not collecting your dara just because you use VM babby distro.

Are you retarded? Either use 10 full or not at all

Stop getting bent over philanthropy as advertising.

Video games and video editing and no linux has no good video editor kys

Linux firewalls have no way to block or whitelist programs like windows does, they only block or allow certain ports, look at gufw for example

What is a "good video editor"?

it's not a program but the desktop interface
I have a 4k monitor and have to use scaling
windows scaling is almost perfect
I tried almost all Linux desktop environments and all of them had issues with non-integer scaling

did you ask the friendly linux thread faggots what use?

rFactor 2, Assetto Corsa, BeamNG
also shit tier logitech FFB wheel support

I have now

>He only controls access via 5-tuple information
2010 called, user.

>Operating system that doesn't spy on you
Hah, good one.

Morrowind, fallout 3 ... in other words, muh games.

gufw is "the simplest" interface for netfilter.

Even iptables has what you want (-m owner). But that's pretty pointless. I don't see why you'd need to block outbound connections from userspace programs. That seems pointless.

On daemons access control like that in Linux is implemented using cgroups already.

windows movie maker

Direct X and Microsoft Office. LibreOffice documents don't always read correctly into office. I need the formatting to not get fucked up.

No such programmos. I run gentoo exclusively.

they are collecting my data certainly but fortunately for me I am not a pedophile or a terrorist so I will be ok

I agree that "if you've got nothing to hide" is a bad argument but for me personally it is okay because muh games

All they'll see is me shitposting on Sup Forums and looking at legal albeit non normal hentai so oh well

Photoshop, maya, unreal4

Ease of use.

why the fuck would you do that
run linux and if you really need winblows in qemu with kvm. Why you'd run bloated spyware as your primary OS is beyond me. Hell, on modern intel chips you can even divvy up the iGPU between the system and multiple VMs.

I don't use Linux because I stopped giving a shit about command line for everyday shit after dos was over.

I'm not going back.

Also games.

They do in odt and other open formats. Why use a proprietary format anyway?

OS X

>When solus sends 100 bytes of data and you didnt ask it to.

Adobe photoshop, lightroom, bridge, and premier pro.

If adobe would make their fucking shit for linux, I would have ditched winblows forever ago. Instead I pay adobe to keep being cucked.

At least I have an MSDN account and don't have to pay for winblows.

No one can relate, Kevin.

>he pays adobe
This is what you're doing wrong. You should have paid them only when they release a Linux port of their software.

With common sense installed I feel pretty safe on wangblows.

I also have took a few moments block telemetry and pfsense box with SPI so I feel safe from the botnet.

>it just werks

Anyone running more than one OS in a VW is a god damned failure.

You should've picked ONE single OS that suits your needs...and hint it obviously isn't Linux if you're running Windows in a VM.

Only a fool does something simple in an over complicated fashion and thinks themselves clever for it.

should i go balls deep with linux or start with xubuntu

this is my first distro besides using fedora at school sometimes

all i do is code/browse porn/download porn

Watching 4k and 60fps videos without screen tearing or waking up my neighbours due to fan noise.

Use Fedora since you're familiar with it.

I'd rather dual-boot, which I do.

can i rice fedora

i want a nice looking lightweight distro

Im not that solos shill. But solos is great.

You can probably rice anything, if you put your mind into it.

That said, I don't mind gnome.

Ah so it runs great on shit drivers. Sounds awesome, thanks user!

nah, fuck you homophile

You're not going to bamboozle me again, Kevin

will post id

It's the name of that programmer linux del toro, duh

You can save it as a PDF in LibreOffice if you're afraid of the file formatting getting fucked up.

Nothing since i moved the shitty ERP client to a improvised XP TS. Now lmde2 does the job.

Ubuntu's easy to use.

Why not office via wine? Works for me. I don't give a shit on formatting but i need some macros.

It's Linus Del Toro.
His Handle is 'Linux' because he was an edgy teenager once and it's just stuck forever since.

OneNote

>ib4 use web version of onenote/evernote
>ib4 use wine and a 12 year old version of onenote

DX10+

It's the looks user. apart from mobile-looking programs, Win10 looks really simplistic and comfy.

its not software, i need fucking drivers
audio on linux is pretty shit though

None of them. I haven't used Windows full time in months. I'm not even sure the last time I booted into Windows

Elaborating: every Linux I've installed in my life (about 6) looks like it hasn't been developed since 2008

KDE is trying to look """modern""" and is succeeding. Although even if I gave a shit (I don't, I really like how my computer looks with Linux), there are so many other reasons that I'd rather not use Windows.

>blocked telemetry
I think maybe the NSA/FBI/BBW makes a list of all the people who attempt to block win 10 telemetry and miss a spot.

>installing a real OS that protects you and doesn't spy on you?
name one that actually works

These ones.

Probably nothing. I'm just too lazy to learn a new OS.

I tried learning how to use Ubuntu before, but it irritated me. Didn't seam to make sense.

Video games
Foobar2000

Business.

Every major business application we run is a Windows only app. We had this "business consultant" who got paid $450 per hour to walk around and come up with business strategies. I expecting to hear about investments and marketing.

Instead, he comes up with fantastic recommendations like "let's standardise on Windows Phone for all staff" and "let's ditch Slack and use Teams".

Fallout 3 works under wine flawlessly though, pretty sure morrowind does too

>Photoshop requires DirectX
made my day

>garbage OS and installing a real OS
with real OS you mean that one which doesn't support my keyboard and mouse and renders my pc unusable. most funny thing is i can use my keyboard in "basic" input output system (BIOS) but it doesn't work in linucks. thats how linucks is really shity famalam.

>that protects you and doesn't spy on you?
it doesn't stop you from proprietary hardware spying on you.

Its the games

>doesn't support my keyboard and mouse
what

google "mx5500 linux"

It's games mostly.

Photoshop and some other shit is available on macOS.

The rest, on linux and macOS.

So it's really just games. And the AAA shit, to be honest. Most indie games run fine under Parallels or I could do that GPU passthrough nonsense if I really needed it.

>using Google as a verb

um well im an adult. so i can pay for things and I prefer features and support as opposed to rolling my own or whatever. also I don't want to be a loser. Do you see any 'OMG LINUX IS SHIT WHY ARE YOU USING IT' threads? No, because only fat neckbeards would ever make such a thread. So yeah, don't want to be counted in the Linux Virgin Crew and also I can afford software and a OS that doesn't suck and does more than EVERYONE FUCKING OTHER ONE IN EXISTANCE YOU FUCKING FAT FRUSTRATED DISGUSTING PIG. GO TO THE GYM. TAKE A SHOWER. CHRIST.
