There are excellent FOSS alternatives available. I know you're going to defend your proprietary garbage like goyshop because it has a few extra features, maybe if you cared enough you'd implement those features into the FOSS alternatives instead of giving up your freedom for the sake of convenience.

Or the rational thing would to use linux at home and if you need the big professional suites, either use a VM or use a different computer for work.
I have yet to see a workplace that doesn't issue a computer if you need one.

Even cmus is better than foobar

depends on what features you need, but I think most bases are covered.

Alright, thanks. Do you know anything about video game console emulation on linux? Is it on par with win?

most creative jobs like video editing are freelance and you do need your own computer plus these people usually like to have it at home anyways for personal projects and stuff

I would prefer to use Linux exclusively but I can't on my gaming machine, the selection is pretty shit, especially with denuvo blocking wine.
Also name calling is not a reason to use Linux for games and makes you sound like a child.

My work laptop and server does run Linux but it's retarded to think you have a choice what you can use if your employer needs you to use Windows.

>denuvo
botnet

the mobile and the old are decent, don't know about the new consoles.

So we are talking about the people who do freelance video editing from home?
You are reaching kid.
Just get a real job, it pays better

>You have 0 (ZERO) seconds to explain why you use Windows.

Doesn't take that long.

I use Windows because I can, and also because I know it pisses off little fucking scumsucking bottom feeding maggots like you, OP, to such degrees that you can't help yourself from getting online and coming to Sup Forums and creating threads like this one because the only way you can find any semblance of happiness is seeing your own mindless babble outside of your own fucking sick twisted misanthropic imagination.

Bitch.

I use them all, for work, home, special projects etc. Windows, arch, Debian, w/e. Each have their own purpose.

>b-b-but muh job
One thing Linux can't even touch is control systems. No platform provides anything for ABB, deltav, factory talk view, bailey, fox pro, siemens, etc except for Windows. These platforms run factorys, mills, mines, and all sorts of automated processes. In fact, it's extremely likely the machine you posted this drivel with was made by a machine running windows.

That being said I'd rather run many other services on gnu (like dhcp, DNS, ftp,etc) rather than windows for a plethora of reasons.

Maybe you should educate yourself about what OS is good for what before posting this pathetic bait. Every OS has its purpose you stupid fuck wad.

>if you spend the majority of your time gaming, you are a child
I resent that notion.
If I want to waste my time playing vidya all day, that's my prerogative and none of your business.

...

>One thing Linux can't even touch is control systems

true, because then people would actually be able to update their equipment instead of autistic network subnetting and PXE booting cancer to prevent some WinXP SMB vulnerability from DoSing your shitty equipment.

fucking retard.

Yes goyim. Play our games. Don't breed with your woman, there are more than enough refugees in need

I don't.

or even better, not get infected with CIA nigger worms that cause critical faults in your nuclear enrichment program because the US is butthurt of your sovereignty

this notion of personal sovereignty is such a western lie.

every fucking person influences something and your every action is the business of the collective system.

>There are excellent FOSS alternatives available.
ayy lmao

I wish more people would take heed what you said. These hopeless losers are the saddest bunch I have ever seen

Yes, do more productive things like shitpost about people playing games.

Prove him wrong

>games
Sure, if you want to give up the benefits that having a PC grants you.

Might as well buy a console at that point, if you want to limit your selection so badly.

>excellent FOSS alternatives
Mind giving some, baitmeister?

I'd shoot myself before I attempt to switch to loonix again. It's a step back in usability in the name of 'freedom'. The convenience and familiarity is just too good to pass up for some nerd cred of running some shitty riced out distro.

>most creative jobs like video editing are freelance
Can't say about video editing but in the field of graphic design you usually do some freelance work after you get home from your full-time job. At least in the begining. So having 'Linux only computer' is not really an option. Not because free programs like GIMP, Scribus and Inkscape are bad (they are, though) but because fucking Adobe completely monopolized the market and people just don't want to work with you because of incompatability of files.

I never use windows on bare metal, but I have to spin up a windows VM whenever I need to run a trading platform terminal to execute trades because they are all windows-only.
I've actually looked into developing one that would run on unix-like operating systems, but I realize that if I where to release something like that I'd be nuked from orbit from all sides.

Windows just werks

You think I am shitting out money? I have a an almost 7 years old probook, I am happy if one OS can run at it smoothly

> but I realize that if I where to release something like that I'd be nuked from orbit from all sides
Why?

>unironically being from Hungaria

I'd be pretty pissed off too, if I were born in a shithole dump like that.

How can you ironically be from Hungary?

because the financial industry is one big technological joke. though the financial industry as a whole is also a joke so i guess it's not shocking.

Oh gee i dont know maybe i should learn to use a shell to download my gpu drivers or to install anything. And when im done working and want to play a fucking game thats not supported by fedora (like 90% of the pc games) i should go over to a friends house ,give him a blowjob and beg him to let me play because im a lunixtard

There is a monopoly of one shitty platform and they dont want competition. During research I found articles of a few different cases of people trying to develop alternatives to the standard API and they all ended up getting sued and accused of "hacking" for trying to infringe on their proprietary intellectual property by reverse engineering their API network protocol. Btw, the server admin backend is known to have tools to screw over the brokers customers. It just goes to show you that they dont want competition and they want to force you to use their shitty platform so they can screw you over.

>press a button
>install 50 different botnets and bitcoin miners

fixed for you.

>pxe booting
>Cia niggerworms
>being this dumb

Nigga it don't matter what you run if the Cia wants in there they will get it. Your beliefs won't save you.

Also I don't see retard Linux fags making anything secure for industrial processes. Probably cause theyre way too retarded from watching anime.

This it's a joke. While researching those cases of developers being accused of hacking by reverse engineering their protocol, I ran across some papers presented at blackhat and defcon that show there are numerous massive holes in the security of their platform and the protocol itself.

Does microshit make a͟n͟y͟t͟h͟in͟g that isn't crap?

>not using PXE bootings to reimage your sihtty winxp shitbox control systems when you get the inevitable wannacry or any other spyware infect your hyper critical control systems.

child detected.
and patently false, most of the big case state level hacks exploited flaws in wangblows like stuxnet targeting wangblows running siemans control boxes on particular centrifuges.

Well, you'll still be using proprietory software, so there is not much of a diffierence. But you can still give a blowjob to you friend if you want to.

>no fun allowed
I guess just shitposting on mexican money laundering forums is enough fun already

Truth right there.
Work: use what the employer gives you
At home: be a sperg as you wish.

Might as well dual boot then with win10/loonix

Alright, if I can't use windows anymore, give me an alternative to Adobe After Effects on Linux.
>protrip: you cant

You are right man. Because of all these botnets and viruses im running to mine bitcoin for the chinese my gpu hits 90C idle and i cant get more than 15 fps on minecraft. I should switch to Fedora and relieve myself from this torture im experiencing

Because it's what I'm used to.

>implying the built in task manager would report the activities of microgoy's botnet to you
Are you this naive?

true

then you can use minetest instead which is free software and not be some fucking minecrap autist.

fok'n 'ell

gee, it's almost like human beings have found other ways to have fun before the invention of video games. It's almost like hobbyist computing is like a game in and of itself and that's what draws people to it.

I am currently in a situation where I need 100% uptime, and I know I'll fuck something up when I switch. I'm installing Linux in two weeks. Which distro that isn't Ubuntu would be a good starting point?

>botnet botnet botnet botnet
could you prove what you're saying to be true? My computer has been running perfectly and on low temps for the past 6 years and it never caused me trouble where i had something to fix.

If your meme buzzword was true all this bitcoin mining which happens without me knowing it would cause the system to not perform as it should. But guess what, you're just angsty that not everyone is a neckbeard who spends his day customizing his god awful linux desktop to show off and circlejerk at /wg/ desktop threads. You are also bitter that all you can do on your computer is watch anime and shitpost on jewchan.

If it helps you sleep at night keep saying "botnet" without context

windows

What next OP? not to use OS from other people and make your own from the start up or else youre a brainlet?

>100% uptime

> >tfw the average gamer age is 30.
Sup Forums likes to pretend to be grown up. That's why we have "how do you hide your porn, Sup Forums?" threads, along with praising $150 Thinkpads while Macbook owners are shitted on for their device choice and Surfaces aren't discussed much, because of the price, I guess.

Moron.

Because for people who actually have lives and jobs, the benefits of using a Linux distribution do not out weigh the time needed to setup and learn how to properly use a relatively unpopular operating system, especially if all you use is Office.

I'm moving from Windows because I hate it.
I only need 100% uptime for the next two weeks, after that I don't care. I'll check out centos, thanks.

>air gapped

they aren't by the way retard.
otherwise they couldn't be properly monitored for regulatory reasons.

Linux can run anything if you put the work into it. Windows NT is like a more bloated, less logical, nonfree, POSIX-incompatible Linux.

Forgot to mention I need Wine to work for my daily dose of assfaggots.

You know we're not allowed to do that on here through fear of being told we are doxing someone.

Nigga you should know better than to bait people into breaking rules.

>tfw the average gamer age is 30.
You can be a child at any age.
Most of video games are just mindless escapism and if you spent all of your free time playng games it surely means that you have some serious psychological issues.

I have low discipline to do work, I do work but I can't do as much as I would like to, this is partly because I have low discipline from video games and porn, which causes me to consume it even further in a downturn spiral, help.

Of course it can. But no one's writing anything for it.

Enjoy your cuck OS.

>maybe if you cared enough you'd implement those features into the FOSS alternatives instead of giving up your freedom for the sake of convenience.
Yeah. Maybe.
But I frankly don't give a fuck. Goyshop does what I need it to do, and GIMP doesn't. Tough shit, freetards.
Maybe if you cared enough about shilling your shitty software, you'd improve it to a point of at least being worth considering as an alternative.

spending all your time playing games,watching tv,shitposting,creating noise on a guitar,hitting on chicks on tinder..

whats the difference? Not everyone finds pleasure in the same thing. Calling out someone on what he does with his free time is as stupid as preaching to them about the "better" OS or gaming platform. Whats good for you is not for someone else.

Keep in mind that people with psychological issues mostly refrain from video games and pursue other hobbies such as sports or /k/

cause wangplows is better than gnoouh slush leenoocxks

that is the point of an ideology

You could make that argument for most entertainment.

I'd even think the odds of having some serious psychological issues are higher if you visit Sup Forums, no sane person would actually spend time here, would they?

See, this is the problem with freetards. Instead of demanding their software conforms to the user, they demand that YOU conform to their software.

Linux is great. It can do a lot of things. But it can't do everything (or maybe it can, but nobody has developed the proper software for it yet.) That's why I dual-boot. I have a hammer and a stick. I have more tools available than just a hammer or just a stick. Use what you need, not what some delusional retard on Sup Forums bullies you into.

I don't know much about linux, can it run steam?

i agree nobody should use windows. but using linux? infinitly worse

This
It can but most games are not supported,also you would need to learn how to install and update gpu drivers for linux which for a new user isnt so easy. Linux can do many things but most people dont ever need to do said things in their life ,plus its a hassle

>he can't spend 2-3 (two or three) hours to configure his OS after fresh install
