>why is Linux not popular?
>why people use only windows?
Seriously idiots? Windows is, the only OS people know, everyday folks connect windows - computer..
That's all they know. For most Mac and Linux would look like custom skins of windows, or older versions. This is not changing soon. Linux will never be a widespread thing, except on your phone, and the occasional user, who prefers to waste his time toying with his PC, instead of being useful to his community. Microsoft now proceeds to break all records, windows 10 is doing splendid BTW, surprised? Its their most flexible OS yet, while Linux is still the same basic interface with useless terminal. Noone gives a shit about your leet skills to memorize commands like an ape, thinking you look smart. You look like that dropout from school running the command prompt trying to look kewl, cd-ing around the folders. Pic related.
Windows will always win
Nice pasta.
Pasta without sauce is no pasta, tortellini perhaps
Not Op which obv. Is a fag.
But hear me out... sure linux is more stable after you set it up, awesome for servers and what not.
But how many people-normies run a server of any kind.
Windows is easier for use for the basic user... and flexible as shit you can switch from one task to another one with a breeze. Installing new type of software that you are sure will "just werk" is a breeze...from gaymans to programs Wincuck is just easy to use and flexible.
WINDOWS JUST WERKS... why would you bother with anything else... unless your edge is strong.
Now that's contribution to Sup Forums's quality pasta content, gj op
Bullshit. GNU/Linux with it's repos and software center is easier to use than Windows. The biggest reasons why Linux is not widespread are: 1. it isn't pre installed on new PCs 2. It's not compatible with most botnet normies use. Which I hope it will never be because I don't really need another botnet system.
I've always wondered how people can take these pictures and not think badly of themselves. are they so deluded they think they look good?
I'm an ugly cunt and when I look in the mirror I know I'm an ugly cunt and should't go parading my pictures around the net.
In what fucking fantasy world do these people live?
Great thread OP, you can finally kys in peace.
What does Sup Forums think about big companies like Google and Amazon luring people into buying literal spyware and placing it into their homes?
>Sup Forums tries to convince me to run windows in a VM with GPU passthrough
>have to buy an extra video card and troubleshoot problems for slightly worse performance
>run GNU+Linux in a VM inside Windows 10
>literally just works
Sup Forums is always wrong
Having your host OS be the shitty one defeats the point. Why run linux at all if you're just going to shit all over it with a windows hypervisor

what did u do? gentoo on autism level?
If you don't want to compile your shit yourself, don't use gentoo lol
And even more important:
- If you don't know how to fix your compiler, dont fucking compile shit yourself
- If shit you want to compile yourself dont work ootb, READ THE FUCKING MANUAL YOU FOOL
Holy shit, some people are so fucking retarded, hard to believe this exists
Just go with Ubuntu or Mint, both have a GUI to install new software. Just like a fucking appstore.
>being retarded
fuck people
the majority are total scum, and you know this
all the best music is underground, and so are OS's
Typical Linux fanboy talk. I used ubuntu ~ 7 years ago and tried to run some simple monitoring/Xorg configuration software, so I don't destroy my system irreversibly by placing the wrong comma at the wrong line, only to encounter even more problems with running the software. There is a thing in windows that's called OFFICIAL DRIVERS. Most companies don't bother hiring people to write drivers of OS's only a few hundred people will ever use, which has always and will always be linux' core problem...
>having autism and 0 social skills
What did you expect from a bunch of morons whose ideal world is communist
>OFFICIAL DRIVERS
a what?
>Most companies don't bother hiring people to write drivers of OS's only a few hundred people will ever use
Except MRI machines and highly specialised hardware uses linux on host computers
>why is Linux not popylar?
install new Ubuntu 17.10 because ut us for noobs
fuck around, new menu, cant find shit
okey, wanna play some music
double click mp4 -> error you dont have codecs
try change volume, not working
try file manager, it's worse than Windows explorer
fuck this shit reeeeee
going to boot windows 10 again, everything just works. feels good man.
7 Years ago? Like SEVEN? 84 MONTHS?
HOLY FUCK DUDE
Okay, just never use linux again, okay? I met a LOT of retarded people, but your shit really hit the fan. I'm literally speechless.
Why are you faggots actually falling for this bait?
>> having to manually compile your source
Even gentoo have binary packages. Stop making up shit.
>> software does not support my distrib
Well, you could figure out when it needed another compiler, but that would need you to actually use linux.
those fucking repositories and packages are one of the reasons why linux will never reach 5% market share.
I see no arguments.
People actually use embedded Linux such as Android although GNU/systemd/Linux is not popular for desktop use.
It's mostly because people don't give a shit about operating systems
>1. it isn't pre installed on new PCs
Of course it isn't. People would get upset and start returning machines when they realized that GNU/Linux doesn't run 99% of the software they bought the computer for in the first place.
except every fucking cunt nowadays loves to talk about how cool their ios is compared to android and vice versa.
