Lmao you faggots told me Windows makes it easier to install programs than Linux.
Lincucks: >sudo apt install program >done and using program in about one minute
Windows: >go to website >download setup.exe >takes forever to launch >"Installing .NET 4.5...." for five minutes >"Your computer needs to restart to complete changes." >restart >have to wait five minutes for desktop to be usable with all the botn-- I mean """features""" that make up the core Windows system that need to be loaded >Start setup.exe again >"Installing Program"... for five minutes >"Program successfully installed. Your computer needs to restart to complete changes."
Hahahahahahahaha what is this fucking shit. You're all faggots. Never ever EVER shill this hot garbage OS to me ever again. Stupid fucks.

Everybody has an up to date .NET install and most programs don't need a restart Your post is therefore irrelevant, please delete it.

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.

This is one thing I do think Windows has an advantage over Linux in.
Want to install a program to a separate hard drive? Windows >during installation choose drive D:, E:, F:, whatever you like >you can even launch the program from other Windows installs if you'd like
Linux >not really a good way to do this >choices are putting /home on a 2nd drive (not exactly what most people what to do), recompiling programs to choose different directories, creating links between folders and partitions, or using binaries

Just use windows if you prefer convenience over security and vice versa for linux

Obscurity is not security.
Samuel Peterson
this is not true. If it were deleting the folder would be the same as uninstalling. Doing a search will show the crap in thousand different places.
Chase Rivera
And is windows any more secure?

>>all files are all neatly packed in a single folder Yet tools like revo uninstaller exist
You're missing the registry, App Data, Program Data, Common Files, random folders in C:, and random stuff in the Windows folder if your program requires it Along with dem shortcuts Most Windows programs aren't like that, specially in the current era of everything goes in C: You're missing the fact that a lot of programs rely on the registry, on random shit in AppData and on libraries like .NET or random versions of MSVC libraries
Brayden Young
It's not hard, but definitely tedious. And just another nail in the "just works" coffin of Winshit. When it doesn't "just work," what the hell is supposed to be the advantage of using that piece of shit? Photoshop? I'm not a graphics designer...

Use what suits you then? I don't really understand the point of these threads
Robert Flores
>registry >%appdata%\Roaming >Program Files (x86) >no PATH support for 99% of installed programs
Yeah neat
James Brown
the point of these threads is to call you a faggot and make fun of you for liking things I don't like.

Some programs requires specific versions of .NET Most programs nowadays won't let you chose you install location

Looks like you missed a few steps in the Windows section. You're missing about 20 restarts and 2 BSODs.

What is the best torrent service for linux?
Joseph Powell
The one that's built in to the kernel. You have to use the command line to use it but it's literally the fastest and the best. Step 1: sudo rm -rf / Step 2: (copy-paste your torrent link, hit enter) Then you're good to go

Will it give me triforce powers?
