Sell me on Linux

Sell me on Linux.

Try it.

You'll love it.

Linux creator ate fungus from his feet, told nvidia to fuck off, married a brown thai "woman" and spends his free time making tech tips videos on youtube.

chicks dig it.

Avoid it, lunix is a pile of shit.

it makes me wet

>tfw you'll never be sold on Linux because it's free

If you haven't already sold yourself on it, you don't want it.

Nothing fucking works

You know those times when you want to do something or change some small part of how your system works, but Windows or OSX won't let you do it and you run into a dead end? There is no dead end in Linux.

If your poor use it, if you can afford macOS use macOS

You haven't even tried foot fungus, have you?

Your thinking of BSD.

use windows

- you can actually OWN your system and do whatever the fuck you want with it
- it's free as in free speech
- it's free as in free beer
- in most cases it's a better programming environment
- it's safe (almost zero chance to get a virus)
- it is not evil

Get 10 times as many software updates and spend one tenth the time doing it.

literally this

this may come as a shock to you but we do not give a fuck about your decisions.

sage

14 other people do though.

idiots happen

instal gentoo XDDD

I would actually loved if more people used GNU/ Linux.

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

it's fun

stop caring about others, they won't be there when you need them.

>stop caring about others, they won't be there when you need them.
Who hurt you?

W^x memory

Only for idiots who can't read instructions

What!?

global dark theme

FREEDOM IS NOT ABOUT PRICE GODDAMIT!

That song is the cringiest thing I have ever experienced.

Try it. Virtualbox takes a minute to setup

How does the performance compare to Windows in various aspects (besides graphics drivers)?

There was a guy who made a test with blender on windows and linux a year ago and he got better times on CPU on linux than windows. Of course graphical performance was better on windows.
If you are not a computer enthousiast there is no reason to use it. I myself use it because i do not want to upgrade hardware and on my dad's laptop beacause(old people love it since it's so simple).

For all real science, server administration and coding in everything other than C# you use Linux and that's it.

Oh, you mean the creator of GCC slash Linux, right? There's no such thing as "Linux", only GCC slash Linux.
Also, praise Stallman

its shit, unix is by far the best

comparable or better across the board
the main issue is always either software support or setup for the same functionality with other utilities

i thought the creator of the linux kernel was linus torvalds, not stallman

It costs $0

There's a shitload of flavors you can keep trying until you find one that doesn't suck and just werks.

Also costs nothing but your time and if you're a NEET that means it costs literally nothing.

Linux is more "Responsive". Well its like less freezes.

it's bc you're using gentoo you dolt

There are instances where the windows scheduler starts visibly slowing things down because there are too many processor cores.
Windows is like that, it's a miracle anything of it works anymore.
But as a simple user, there's no need for you to care.

linus torvalds IS the creator of the linux kernal
stallman (the one that ate from his foot) is just the GNU side of linux which is the compiler, lib ...etc

It's bad like your post.
Linux is a neet OS, without professional software support.

>Sell me
I can't, it's free.

>without professional software support.

Yet 65% of servers in the world runs on Linux, including Google and Facebook

>without professional software support
Found the
Red Hat
Canonical
Suse

The best glorified text editor you can get.

mouse scroll wheel works in file manager

-virtually never needs to be restarted
-continue using computer while it updates
-updates only when you decide to, you are never forced or harassed into running updates
-any system critical feature is password protected by default
-install common software without visiting a website and running an exe
-virtually all source code is available for you to browse / edit before installing
-customize everything / anything you want to
-no license fees
-no telemetry without consent
-no profit motive to hide bugs / security flaws
-no intentional backdoors for three-letter agencies
-runs civ 5

People don't get sold on Linux, autists like me discover it and fall in love with me, the rest will get mad their vidya card doesnt work and leave. Try it and see for yourself if you like it

>tfw updating network manager
>internet skips for literally 3 seconds and that's it

it's almost magic

>-no profit motive to hide bugs / security flaws
>-no intentional backdoors for three-letter agencies

What is systemd?

a replaceable component

A cute desktop engine

It doesn't have (as many) backdoors as Windows
It has better (or worse) font rendering depending on your settings
It supports a lot of hardware these days
You have a plethora of good (and awful) desktop environments to choose from instead of just one

linux would be more popular if it was'nt free in price

I pay you $20 to fuck off, deal?:

See, I don't dig the hipsters at opensuse preferring wicked and thinking I should, by default, suffer through a 12 second delay everytime I boot unless I set that shit up manually because I don't use IPv6.

But otherwise it's nice

linus made linux??

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering 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!

If you have to be sold on Linux, then it's not for you.

Most don't come to Linux for convenience, some do, I came for the trials and learning

You can uninstall damn near everything. Even your text editor.

>-runs civ 5
Oh shit. TIL linux gaming is worth

>without professional software support
>implying any desktop user uses microsoft for help

...

why should I sell you something that is free? It's like if I try to sell you a rock or sand.

No way, man, You're too stupid for it.
