Because I don't care about the OS, I simply use it because is more comfortable.

Now get out from this board.

I'm not.
But Linux is a bit overrated as well. And I say that as someone who contributed to several subsystems in the vanilla kernel.
Microsoft made good kernels at least since Windows 7.

>inb4 freedomz
Yeah, I know.

it's never too late to learn linux right?

t. tech illiterate

...

linux/unix is a simplistic system so yes, it doesn't take much time

But user, I use multiple OSs

I really like light so using windows in my walls seems a good solution

Linux is great if you're learning about systems and programming. For general use, fuck yes I'm going to use Windows. There's no reason not to have a system with either or both if those reasons appeal.

>I really like light

I have a job.

...

bc it's what my computer came with and it works so why would i fuck with it my computer is a tool for laughs and fun and pussy and knowledge not fiddling with

>I think you mean

...

If you think you're safe because you use Linux you're even more stupid than you think we are.

nah its not

linus is ayran

what is your general use? linux works better than windows for everything except video games

so do i, i think germanys unemployment rate has been decreasing

gnu/linux can help you access to more pure knowledge

windows currently has an exploit that hasnt been fixed yet, it has been few days since google announced it
im certainly safer than you though, is your disk even encrypted?

I use many systems

I don't, but why do you listen commies?

>everything except videogames

There's your answer, genius.

It only takes passion user

Post hot Lithuanian womyn

But it's not Linux

It's the GNU operating system

It just works

To play the few game it has.

>not using superior Apartheid Linux

Checked + confirmed

Seriously though GNU is by nature communist and socialist. By using anything with a non proprietary licence you're literally a communist

This is a man who eats toe cheese, throws spontaneous fits of autism over a product name, and believes in blity

I would like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Windows, is in fact, Windows/NT, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Windows Shell plus NT. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another proprietary component of a fully functioning NT OS made useful by the NT scheduler, memory manager, and services comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft.

Many computer users run a modified version of the NT kernel every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NT which is widely used today is often called "Windows," and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NT kernel, developed by the NT Project.

There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows is the shell: the program in the system that allows you to interface with the kernel and utilize its services in a user-friendly fashion. The shell is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete kernel. Windows is normally used in combination with the NT kernel: the whole system is basically NT with Windows added, or Windows/NT. All the so-called "Windows" distributions are really distributions of Windows/NT.

This is very true. GNU is anti-Sup Forums.

Phone fucked up inb4 >phone poster

are you communist if you use wikipedia?

GNU/Linux is a fucking mess. Even people with autism++ have trouble using it.

youtube.com/watch?v=umQL37AC_YM

If you believe what is written on wikipedia without checking proprietary sources from which the material came, you are a fool.

WOW

A LITERAL FUCKING MAN BABY

I've been saying a lot of Sup Forums related thread lately on Sup Forums

just until vulkan becomes standard.
I love trying out all the different Linux distros
Sometimes they can be unstable, though.

Everything I believed in is a lie

...

So what's the story behind suicide of Debian founder?
Has anything new come up or he just went postal on himself?

>proprietary sources
well, technically free software also have "proprietary sources", because you still hold copyright for you work, you just re-license it under whatever free license

also, not all sources in wikipead are proprietary, rather the opposite, they're used only as 'proofs'

Again - if you believe what is written on wikipedia without checking the sources for their validity, you are lazy and gullible. There are multiple instances in which people have been misled by false shit written on wikipedia because they don't CHECK THE SOURCES.

I'm not disputing that there ARE reputable sources that aren't proprietary, but the vast majority of them are.

>"I've not installed GNU/linux" means "I've not used GNU/linux"

muh video games

also I don't care if it's spyware because I have literally nothing to hide. I don't even have any online accounts worth any money.

Fucked up that last sentence.

I am not disputing that there ARE NOT reputable sources that aren't proprietary, but the vast majority of sources are, in fact, proprietary.

>tfw GNU/Linux master race

...

>muh majority
its because copyright applies to pretty much every work by default, just if you typed "hello world" somewhere its already protected by international law lmao

What the fuck is even the point of this statement, make an argument or fuck off.

Only for gaming.

because it gets really cold and bugs would fly in

Because Windows lets me use my computer. Linux lets my computer use me.

>Windows lets me use my computer
ayy

So I can see outside?

At first I thought you were talking about like, actual windows... Like I've been to fucking Germany, I know you have windows...

But i don't.

>gaming

what commies?
im against commies, im for freedom

ok enjoy your definitely accurate ww1 game i suppose

so does debian

this is wrong though propietary licenses limit your freedom
when you buy a car you have the ability to modify it in any way you want so why should software be any different

kek

how is supporting local bussinesses a mess? i bet you use a chinese computer that came preinstalled with windows

we will never know
id like to assume they put a big flashlight in his ass and nobody believed him when he told the story so he went a hero

what about them rare pepes? they are illegal now youve got to hide them
what if posting on Sup Forums becomes illegal? youve got to stand up for your rights now or you may lose them forever

its the opposite actually windows uses your computer to profile you
gnu/linux lets you use it whatever way YOU want

If he can't install the OS, he definitely can't fix his broken-by-default audio configuration, or that random hangup during startup.

In my experience, GNU/Linux is only usable to the extent that all software and hardware in your machine remains static. Want to update software or change out hardware? Be prepared to spend the next week on Google relearning all those commands to configure your network connection.

inb4 leviathan

I use windows for making music. I use linux for everything else.

Stallman is a commie pedo fuck.

Open Source is communism.

ooh, solus. how is that? I was suspicious, since it wasn't built off dabian...

Because I have a job that requires interlinked software and I need it to work.

>its the opposite actually windows uses your computer to profile you
>gnu/linux lets you use it whatever way YOU want
Implying you are a ghost on linux. lol You're "out there" as much as anybody linuxfag.

>when you buy a car you have the ability to modify it any way you want

This is blatantly false. There are laws restricting what you can and cannot do with your car. The thing about proprietary licenses with software is that without them, you are literally giving your software away... for free. Software that people put countless hours in and depend on income to pay their bills and support their families.

I think the free software thing is fine PROVIDED that people voluntarily engage with it. I do not, however, agree with the proposition that ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY ON THE INTERNET IS BAD and that everything needs to be free, because that is not how the real world works.

>SATA cucks btfo

Richard Stallman is a hack, and a jewish socialist. His ideas about software are mostly wrong.

That being said, I strongly prefer linux to windows for it's ability to be customized. it's accessibility and non-intrusiveness.

I'm using windows 7 though because muh gaymin :(

There is a distinction between Open Source and Free Software. Richard Stallman = Free Software, basically he believes that ALL software needs to be free.

Linus Torvalds, behind Open Source, is the philosophy that sharing software is great but you shouldn't feel obligated to make EVERYTHING free. You have the freedom to do what you want with YOUR software.

Yea, but........great argument.

It is actually not built on top of any distro.

It is built from the ground up and it doesn't have all the
packages in the repo but they add more as time goes.
It is also a rolling release.

For me it has worked great.

I use both
>windows 10 for my gaming PC
>Linux Mint for my laptop
is that ok senpai?
I would use Kali but I'm still new to linux
>I really like it so far though

I think the lack of financial success of his "libre" software speaks for itself, but I'll give you an analogy.

Say coca-cola starts following Stallman's principles with their coke.

They release the formula for it, and allow anyone to sell derivatives of it.

They would go out of business overnight.

Propriety is a necessary part of business. Stallman doesn't get this because he is a jew commie.

this is just retarded

...

I'm glad someone here gets it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_cola

Richard Stallman hates Netflix for that reason, though.
youtube.com/watch?v=o6wRaPajam0

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_cola

That isn't the Coca-cola recipe, though. Of course there's nothing wrong with sharing how to make soft drinks, are you stupid?

Linux does not ping *home* and provide usage analytics like MS Windows. With Win10 there are even more usage data collection with Cortana integration.

Because there is still no viable alternative for Powerpoint and everything Adobe. Also it's a lot easier to pirate software for Windows.

I use linux most of the time but I keep a windows partition because you just can't escape it every once in a while. I know I could use a VM but that's even more of a hassle.

Dual boot master race here. Windows 10 for games, Ubuntu for everything else.

this is an alternative. its opensource and nobody has died, by your theory it should destroy at least half of capitalism

Because some of us have work to do.

You cannot make an argument to save your fucking life. Holy fuck.

But I don't use

dual boot is so annoying

True, but your ISP knows who you are, so does any blog sites, NSA, Google, websites you visit. Get a grip. This "I am anonymous" meme is getting old. You don't believe the linux community doesn't spy on you either? lol

Because I want to see outside, and it gets cold if I constantly open front door.

>Have to press enter literally once during boot

What can you do with Ubuntu that you can't do with Windows 10? Serious question here.

>what if posting on Sup Forums becomes illegal?
RIP in piss then

Arch Linux here

...

>Arch Linux here
Go fuck yourself.

>implying
Debian testing master race reporting in

The command line is nice, but the main reason I use Ubuntu is the Windows 10 spyware shit.

why?
