The pc I installed the linux distro on didn't come with a reinstall windows CD or whatever you use to install windows on a computer.
that happened to me at least 2 times, after a month using linux, I reinstalled Windows and damn, Windows was so shit, over 30GB installed, inane software and apps, inane files, slow, I regret nothing. Linux it's simple, lightweight, packages system just make sense.
>>47788949
I get that they're interested in trying Linux. I get that they go back to Windows because they can't live without video games. What I don't get is why they then come to /g/ and insult Linux
>>47788975
>because they can't live without video games
this is what I miss the most about windows, video games

>tfw you try and use Windows and you are so used to 7 second boots, customized window managers, package managers, and the GNU core utilities, that you feel like you are suffocating while waiting for Windows to boot so you can DOUBLE (oh god it burns) click an icon to launch a game.

Just don't use Linux for any appreciable amount of time period if you want to stay sane while using Windows.

The only thing Windows has going for it is it has more games, and software like Photoshop. Windows is an abominable pile of shit, and Linux is completely superior. You are a retard.

I did when I tried to install on a GPT hard drive, fucking thing wouldn't boot, re-installed it three times. Ended up re-installing it on my failing 1TB Seagate.
I don't know what the fuck was up with that...
>>47789172

Guess I'll never ever be able to use Windows again. Only someone with a masters degree in computer science and electrical engineering could possibly perform that delicate operation.

PC is not and has never been an operating system. If you have a PC, your choices of operating system include DOS, Windows, GNU/Linux, GNU/Hurd, various kinds of BSD, Mac OS X, Plan 9, TempleOS, etc.
/g/uys seriously. someone explain to this guy (and other linwin lovers that its possible to have a dual boot system... I have been developing and such under a Unix operating system since I began college. I have windows 8.1, Ubuntu Linux, and Kali Linux all on the same machine... Its really not that hard to go back and forth. pic not related but example of dualboot with grub bootloader.
>>47789185
I run windows, not linux. Microsoft can't into updates, they only make shit worse. The only thing I need to update is my browser.

Your fault m8. If you installed some Ubuntu offshoot or Linux Mint you would be having fun and enjoying yourself right now.

Anyone else likes linux, OSX, and Chrome OS (know this is linux too) but dislikes windows? It's so convenient when your OS has a package manager that allows you to update all your installed software with one button.
With windows you have to update each program individually.
>>47788924
i used ubuntu for 6 months, as a windows user i was amazed by the stability of the system, i could install anything on it without worrying about if its gonna affect my system, when youre on windows if you install a tiny software it could affect the whole system.
And on windows you have to keep a antivirus running and always updated i mean all it takes to ruin your system is an infected usb drive.
i had to go back to windows because i have to use a windows only software.

I find myself using it more often than ubuntu, so i didnt see a reason to not have it installed on my hdd. its useful in my networking courses.
>>47789285
Have you ever tried to purposely infect yourself? Its near fucking impossible. I'll stumble across a redirect once and a while during searching but if I try to look for something to give me a virus in a VM, I just can't fucking do it.

Word. Dual boot works well. I can even make a system that can boot into either Windows or Linux boot the other one in a VM as needed, and have a shared profile directory in a separate partition.
>>47789025
This is exactly my experience. there was a lot of things i used to think it was normal and that they was problems inherently related to how a computer works. At first i was angry too for things that now makes a lot more sense like how the system folders are arranged. At this point i just couldn't come back to windows, it just baffles me how windows, having all the support from third parties and all the money they can spend, they still somehow manage to fuck up a lot of things that should be simple. Yes, windows can do everything, but it does everything in a clumsy way, the best analogy i can think at the moment is that windows feels like a newborn horse trying to walk for the first time.
>>47788924
This is why complete n00bs should use Ubuntu. Its installer steps you through resizing, not deleting, your Windows and sets up a dual-boot system for you.
>>47789218

>i have to use a windows only software.
What software? Just curious.
>>47789405
>I tried to download jessie today
What? Just update your sources and do an upgrade though apt
Why would you try to download a jessie installer when you already have debian installed?
>>47789445
what if my debian install already has viruses or something?
>>47789405
Try torrent for the download.
But If this is your first Linux maybe try another distro like Linux Mint or some Ubuntu flavour
>>47789456
I think that is not possible

There *is* Linux malware but is isn't common at all.
>>47789149
>>47789482
For your use case. Some of us want to do things that are faster to do in a command prompt, and on Windows you have a choice between DOS warmed over and super verbose. You also don't get nearly as much control over networking on Windows.

This is one area that Linux people are just trolling with. Windows 8.1 with UEFI ultrafast boot on my machine boots in 5 seconds. Im sure linux would boot at around the same time. Boot speed is no longer something that Linux has over Windows.

this, for the most part. if you've at all gotten used to using the CLI, gcc, make, or anything like that, going back to windows will be a nightmare. but after a while of using a non-shit OS I start missing having proper driver support for my shitty gaming laptop and I cave in.

This is probably because you googled "virus". You're supposed to google "free games" or "free porn". Click any remotely appealing ads, especially those telling you that your computer is slow.

8.1 cheats with hybrid shutdown, but I'd still count it -- it's delivering a fast boot-from-off user experience on almost all boots, regardless of what it's doing to achieve it.

I didn't even like Linux after using 8 different distros or so. Even Arch. Thought it was kind of pointless honestly.
Went back to winblows and enjoyed life.
Then oneday I got the balls to install Gentoo.
In the process I learned to love Linux.
A process that could not of been replicated for me at least on other distros.

At least 8 doesn't take ages to boot, even if it does cheat.
