Welcome to the master race

> not even running Gentoo

Sir please do the needful Sir, please install Windows Sir.

wait till next week. when there's an update that will break your system. at a time where you'd rather want to get work done.

that's arch for you.

I've never heard of "Windows Sir"

Thanks
I've actually never tried Gentoo, is it worth it?
I've used arch before and never had a problem with an update breaking my installation.

Dearest Sir,
Please install Windows. Microsoft is best company in India.
Do the needful.
Your Sincerely and Forever,
Rajeesh Mahata Kumar

Wat the hell, systemd has eaten another component, the bootloader, too?

Yes, another step made towards SystemD/Linux.

Windows 10 boot faster if not the same as that, and having low idle memory usage on a fresh install is fucking normal, you get that on windows too.
After you install your most used software, it get cached in ram for faster startup times, remember, Unused RAM is Wasted RAM.

I have Windows 10 and GNOMEbuntu installed in the same SSD. Windows boots almost twice as slower, even after uninstalling everything I could and installing only two games and a web browser on it.
Also, in Ubuntu I can start using it as soon as the desktop appears, while in Windows theres a delay of 6 seconds between the desktop showing up and actually being able to do anything with it.

And Ubuntu isn't even near being a lightweight distro.

What makes me hate windows 10 the most is the sole fact that windows 10 fresh install takes at least 20 gigs of HDD space and it continues to expand with every fucking action you make.

took u long enough op

also
>paying for over 8GiB ram
only do this for graphical editing and work related stuff

ps: openbox is cache$ :)

>32 gigs or RAM
What the fuck are you using your computer for

unused RAM is wasted RAM

this could of worked when i had assumed your voice to be of a polite english chap

then i started reading your text in a indian accent....

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

maybe he is working on Big Data™

Linux is a local maxima.
try Hackintosh to experience the true maxima.

I have a lots of ram because my friend build himself a new computer with ddr4, so he gave me his ddr3 sticks for free

>>System takes 8 seconds to boot to Openbox desktop.
Then you're doing something wrong.
I got it down to a second, three if you count POST/UEFI.

>I got it down to a second, three if you count POST/UEFI.
Teach me master.

>ssd
>10 second boot

Why is Linux so shit? My windows install boots to desktop in under 4.

systemd-analyze blame

that's not a cold boot, tho
