Why would a non-programmer use linux?
Sys admin
ChromeOS, Android
mmm...
If you have no life, a Linux system can be like a dog or a wife who needs a lot of your attention to work properly and stuff. You'd probably spend countless nights trying to fix things and I think that's not really a bad hobby if you enjoy it.
Because he doesn't agree with Micro$oft's terms of service and can't afford a Mac
If you ever want a home server (and you do), you want linux on it.
It works for them
anime
They're mentally retarded.
I think it just works better and I'm the cool kid now
>needs a lot of attention
I would say the exact opposite, Linux works fine and doesn't change until you want it to. It just works.
why would a non programmer use a computer
You can do a lot more with computers than just program them. I don't know people act like the only tech job that has ever existed is programming. Linux is amazing if you're a sys admin, network admin, or really any kind of admin at all.
They don't.
They use phones and tablets.

For most people who use it, Linux is the real life equivalent of trying to beat a vidya on “super hardcore death rape” difficulty so you can feel like a hard ass. Think of it like self-reflective epeen.
It is very rare to find people who use it outside of work that don’t fit into that category. Most gentoo faggots on here are the end of that spectrum.
Can't afford a Mac.

You've got to be kidding or else are retarded...

For beginners windows will do just fine.

>SPICE
Free and long-term support

who came up with this meme?
It's worth it just for the fact that I can boot and shut down my machine without update bullshit. Also, centralized software updates, privacy, desktop choices, no antivirus, free?
ffmpeg and youtube-dl don't work on my windows install for some reason
Sorry sweetie, but the cancer that is windows 10 caused me way more trouble than my Ubuntu install
I like how the fedora penguin has is representative of linux as a whole.
Maybe if your work environment doesn't want to pay for Microsoft products like Windows and Office. This is assuming the company provides a computer for you.
I dual boot Linux and Windows and feel that there barely is any difference in how much you have to tinker with the system to get it to work.
>Not An Answer
I'm just guessing, by the way.

torrents + media server = just werks 4 me
