Give me ONE reason why someone should use Linux instead of Windows aside from running a server

Give me ONE reason why someone should use Linux instead of Windows aside from running a server.

having autism

Ethics and morals

Free.

there is none

...

both are free you consumerist asswhipe

Log files on windows are total shit. No standard place for them, can't tail them with native tools, can't search and parse them with native tools. No one chooses windows over Linux for application servers unless they don't know Linux or the software vendor doesn't support it.

No, the Windows Operating System is not free as in freedom and neither free as in free beer as you have to obtain a license in exchange for money, hence it isn't free. However, it is possible to install a copy of the Windows Operating System without obtaining a license which will however limit you in your actions in a few ways and this is - depending on your location - illegal. But because OP did not specify this I will go with that the Windows Operating System is not free.

That was a good movie. Any "gets the synapses firing" movies with the same quality, or higher?

A lot software developer are easy to install on Linux and update.

Skills. Having UNIX knowledge is important if you do any sysadmin.
t. Sysadmin for banks

...

It just werks. Bash is better than CMD. It's more lightweight.

It is more fun.

Ok, but first: Give me ONE reason why someone should use Windows instead of Linux.

you can play gaems

you backing up your data?
someone's backing up your data
it ain't you

Games.
Its the reason why I host a linux guest on a windows host, sadly. The dumbass GPU on my i7 isnt wired in in this laptop so I can't do gpu passthrough.
But honestly now that every new PC has 16gb or more RAM theres no reason to not just run both OSes.

Program selection, video games

Programs like desktop environment, window managers, and shells?

I only play MTW2 and it's ported to linux.

Nobody here cares what video game you play. Shut the fuck up. Fuck.

Not wanting Microsoft's finger inside your arse all day long, every day, for the rest of your life. It's worse than using Google. Using Google at least you're only monitored when you use the browser.

Good for you.

Isn't windows users supposed to be less autistic?

How gnu are you?

Fpbp

Do you really think Lain would be a Windoze pleb?

Computer programming using POSIX Libraries.

she'd probably run lfs

I assume she made her own OS and Anime C compiler

It is a lot easier to change the date/time stamp on files using linux/unix with the 'touch' command.

The creator was a big macfag so most of Lain's computers where based on Mac designs. Also Copland was the code name for an unreleased version of Mac OS. Realistically though, Lain probably would've used Linux.
