Computer newbie here.

I just installed Linux on my HP Chromebook.
What can I do now that I couldn't before?

Participate in a global revolution against the proprietary parasites who are trying to make fortunes off of things that would be dirt cheap if they weren't controlled by profiteering gluttons.

Do what you normally do and report bugs when you find them.

yikes

Install emulators

Actually using your computer.

Customise your theme and I don't know buddy watch futa porn in HD.

Point out the flaw in my reasoning.

>futa

I swear to God these degenerates are like the fucking plague.

Download programs like Super Tux Cart

I don't know what would you want to do with a kernel alone

The entire ideological foundation.

So you believe that Bill Gates should be a billionaire for selling something that is the equivalent to what a 21 year old Finnish grad student made as a hobby project?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.

Rice it.

Then install gentoo

You have taken control of your technology. Breaking free from proprietary software will always feel glorious.

Don't mine monero for a 12 year old russian

no i think based Billy g should be a billionaire cause he has a cool personality an I like him.

install firefox

>t. bootlicker

Install/update/remove software in seconds. Easily automate your daily tasks by writing scripts in sane languages, schedule them with a simple command. Realize that the shackles of proprietary software have fallen, embrace the freedom of FOSS, and look at a real OS for the first time. You should probably grow a beard.

You know that open source makes it a lot easier to profit off of technology right? Google, Amazon, IBM etc don't contribute to big open source projects (Linux, Eclipse, openjdk, openssh) for philanthropic reasons right?

I don't have anything making profits. Open source is a mutually beneficial way to create powerful, reliable, flexible tools that can help make money.

I believe your ideology is fundamentally undercut by the above points. They don't care if you don't pay for it, you're indirectly helping them make a ton of money. I make a pretty decent living off it too so I'm not exactly complaining. But don't pretend that your ideology actually has any traction behind open source.

GNU/linux

>21 year old Finnish grad student made as a hobby project?
Then why isn't he Bill Gates?

Also that's a pretty retarded way to argue about anything.
>SO YOU BELIEVE [totally random thing person hasn't stated they believe in]
Retard.

>Then why isn't he Bill Gates?
Because he is a good person.

>he's a loser
>no, he's just a philanthropist

So still a loser compared to Bill Gates and just another normie compared to the rest.
