Muh games. Steam OS and Wine are both limited.
>>51482918
commies for sure
but everyone knows Windows is the official OS of all Indians
>>51482452
because I don't want to have to bother with installing packages and searching up which commands do what and having to use shitty "workarounds" or alternatives for 80% of the shit I use
fuck Linux
Noob here.
I know Linux is very lightweight, so is good to use on old computers.
But what about applications? Are they lightweight too? Say I open 30 tabs on firefox while watching a video or doing some photo editing.
Is it going to be faster doing that on Linux than on Windows?
>>51483182
VS just went open source you nigger
>>51483287
Most things seem faster on linux desu senpai
AutoCAD and other Autodesk programs
they just dont fuckin work in wine, its not even worth trying at this point, if you do get it to work, theres no fucking driver support for the graphics card i need to run the programs
id rather just work offline and unplugged to avoid the botnet than have to deal with trying to use maya on linux
>>51482452
Just personal experience:
>no any proper multimedia application like video editing, DAW, publishing software etc
>driver support for studio soundcards
>unreal engine on linux requires compiling and no marketplace
>directx since most linux games are just ported to opengl poorly
>>51483287
web browsers run much smoother on linux, only proprietary plugins have issues

Isn't WINE 32-bit only?
I thought today's games are 64-bit only.
>>51483541
Even if you were to run games on wine, they would run like shit
being able to afford modern hardware
>>51483278
And I like looking for programs in the interwebs, download them bundled with adware and cryptominer with my glorious native internet explorer
>>51483541
Wine exist in 32 and 64bits. The big aaa games are often available in 32 and 64, but most of them still 32bits.
>>51483293
VS != VS Code.
One is a full IDE with tons if useful stuff, the other is a glorified text editor.

>>51484134
>installing a game
well, there's yer problem right there
>>51485100
The file managers available on Linux are way better than any available on Windows.
Explorer doesn't even have tabs, no easy way to toggle showing hidden files, no support for SFTP, can't fully customize sidebar, no native video thumbnail support, no split screen, no "open in terminal", no built-in terminal, no support for opening files with shell scripts, if you want to rename a file extension it forces a popup box warning you, it just feels clunky, etc.
>>51485262
b-but muh familiarity
It doesn't just werk, and even if you make it work after 10 hours it still won't work for longer than 2 days
I really wanted to go linux on my laptop, because win10 was buggy, I've red shitton of stuff about it, learned how to console and this shit
Then I somehow managed to make it work, it was so good,it looked great and everything
2 days later, I haven't even done anything, I can't log into gnome, I tried other DE's and I still couldn't log in, I asked around everywhere and no one had an answer
So now I'm stuck with win10 again
At least it works
>>51482452
I use Kubuntu on my laptop for my daily shit like browsing 4cins, listening to music and watching movies, but has Windows for gaming on my desktop.
The rabid and toxic community that is attracted to Linux is reason enough to not use it though.
>>51485305
My wife uses mint and she can't even use a file manager.
Hassle free install.
Hell, all I did was add a few plug-ins to FF and copy her music collection to it.
No reason why I would switch from a user-friendly OS to Linux
>>51482452

>>51483471
This isn't 2003 anymore. Half the criticisms of Linux on /g/ is shit true a decade ago but no longer apply. Sure, wine is still spotty and game support sucks but general computing (interwebs, office, video) is near flawless if you pick a stable distro
>>51485383

No.

Windows 10 is objectively better than OSX/Linux/BSD in every aspect.
The purpose of an OS is to run any application the user requires to facilitate their lifestyle, not the other way around. 99.99% of software is produced exclusively for Windows, it has the best gaming performance of all platforms with DirectX and the biggest software ecosystem in the world where it is easy to find solutions to problems and installers make it chicken shit easy for even noobs to get on board.
Checkmate faggot
>>51486593
Um no, the point of an OS isn't to work, the point of an OS is to agree with a "philosophy" by the people who created the OS. It's way more important to know that your OS is free, libre, free-range, organic, cruelty-free software instead of having something that actually does shit.
call me when it runs battlefront without a vm/gpu passthrough. bonus points if it runs natively without wine.
>>51486593
>Windows 10 is objectively better than OSX/Linux/BSD in every aspect.
>>51486634
Windows 10 is free, unlike OSX where you pay the Apple tax first and let them probe your bum.
Linux needs better drivers if it wants to get the mainstream users on board. It also needs to consolidate its ecosystem. Every distro has 5 things that I like and 10 things I don't like making it impossible to settle with any one distro/DE for the long haul. It is an insult to the intelligence of the users when people put such outdated and crude UI designed for autistic turbo nerds instead of normal people.

>>51486730
What else is the purpose of a computer? If it cannot multi-task and be used anywhere then it can fuck off.
A robust operating system is flexible and feature rich enough to adapt to any environment from gaming, workstation, enterprise, personal use, entertainment or development etc.
If your OS fails to meet most of these criteria, it is a piece of junk.

>muh games
now kindly fuckoff
>>51486799
Because developers don't target one OS for something doesn't mean it's not capable. In the mid-80's, doing much of anything on the old Mac OS was a pipe dream, but by the time ten years passed, it was the birth place of Photoshop, had Quicktime (played back media rapidly even on shit hardware, ask a Macintosh IIx owner), and started a conquest in school systems all over the U.S. Windows itself, the thing everyone takes for granted, started with no good games, too. All the developers stayed back on DOS, where they could access things the quick and dirty way, and for the time being, it was good enough. Recall WinG and the original GDI. Nobody develops for Linux so nobody into "the most popular thing" uses it. And if nobody uses it, who would have bought what would have been developed? Nothing has had multitasking/preemption issues since Mac OS 9 died, and half of those criteria sound like ads for some shitty tower at Best Buy.

>>51487052
Because people hang on to legacy, even in light of all the security risks it brings along. Some businesses actually made Flash part of their core infrastructure, like video streaming or cartoon fetish games.
>>51487052
I’ve deactivated flash a year ago and never looked back, everything just works.
SteamOS is shit.
You will literally get 30fps worse than Windblows.
The actual worthwhile reason is that if something goes wrong, you're fucked.
Everyone on /g/ lies and says that [distro] has no problems. I installed mint and it couldn't even connect to wired internet and the WiFi worked at a random 20 % of the time. I then installed Ubuntu (I originally switched to mint because it wouldn't connect to WiFi and couldn't install random shit for random reasons). It worked perfectly, then shit itself and seemed to become unusable, then a day later it started to work perfectly and its been perfect since then.
If you want to learn programming then Linux makes installing and using various things extremely easy. It's obvious to me and I'm a noob, so I expect to figure out more big benefits. But as someone who wants to Just Werk, I'd be crazy not to have Windows 10 ready to use at the first sign of Linux breaking down.
Also I'm fairly sure that reinstalling your distro is more efficient timewise than trying to troubleshoot most problems.

Exactly. Makes the OS X vs Windows vs Linux shitflinging completely pointless.
>>51487289
I think LXDE desktop environment is the closest to that.
>>51487286
Basically this. Everything sucks so no matter what you're using it sucks and so do you. You cannot win, only lose.
>>51487291
Good thinking! Getting real tired of all the blame games.
Why would I install Linux to run the same proprietary software via wine with massive performance / usability hits
>>51487334
We have to, man.
If somebody complain about a slow PC, and I ask him to hand it over, then I'll look into it, I'll never see or hear a peep from him, until my manager call me into the office, because the fucknugget has stabbed me in the back and complained about me not doing my job.
So now my standard answer is just "Send me an email, or else I've forgotten all about it later". At least they can't lie their way out of hard evidence.

I know some Diaspora*-tiers Linux users and their desktop is pretty clean.
>>51482974
as someone who's used windows, OSX and loonix each for at least several years i would say the one big reason that makes linux a good choice is if you like tinkering.
the kind of person that would enjoy building their own gaming rig or their own motorcycle would be the kind of person that might enjoy linux and the ricing limbo and console tomfoolery that comes with it. i personally enjoyed that quite a lot, for a while at least. i main hackintosh now. because truly it just werks
>>51487464
That really depends on what your needs are.
I use Kubuntu for my laptop, because it's much more lightweight than Windows, and Windows for my gaming rig.
At work we run a pure Windows set up, workstations, servers, everything.

>Anno Domini?
Active Directory. And don't give me any shit about the Linux version. It doesn't work half as well imo.
>>51487441
Ok, so here we go.
The software that runs on my computer is open-source stuff that is maintained by people whose GnuPG keys are signed by people who confirm their identity. This way there is a real "web of trust" related to installed packages.
You don't feel it's important ? There are arguments on the Internet to know if Windows 10 has a keylogger. It wouldn't have happened if it were even open-source.
I don't do gaming because I don't have time for that. A portion of it is indeed taken by Linux (and I love it, really), and another is taken by my studies. I understand someone prefers to do gaming though, as it may happen for professional software, but don't make it an argument about the quality of Linux itself.
About security breaches : first of all Linux is shit and Linus Torvalds is an asshole, secondly what I run is called GNU/Linux. I'm considering monthly giving to FreeBSD and BSD, so should you do instead of complaining about security. (Bonus point if you've got Flash or Java on your computer.)
So I've got a quality software base from people I trust, which is not true about Windows, both about quality and about trust.
GNU/Linux is fully customizable and you can do whatever you want with it. If Windows worked the same as GNU/Linux everyone would've just needed to $ nano /etc/cortana.conf. If you want to set a gif as wallpaper, just find the proper doc or write it yourself, as it teaches you how to solve a tech-related problem (which won't happen to Mac OS X users, besides the quality of this software).
I'm in GNU/Linux for 2 years, but according to older users it has significantly less bugs than 10 years ago.
It makes you question what Evgeny Morozov calls "tech-related propaganda", as you naturally see some code (mostly bash code). That's something a Windows or Mac OS X user can't understand.
The minus of Linux are tech-related. The pros of GNU/Linux are tech-related and cognitive.
And for free software that is easy to use, just run Haiku.
>>51487598
So you use Linux primarily for its philosophy.
Fair enough if that's so important to you, but for the rest of us who don't really care about that, and more importantly, need to use our computers to "get shit done", it just doesn't make the grade.

Just yesterday I had to search an hour how to change the DNS in Linux Mint. Using the network settings did nothing till I found out that I had to edit some cryptic config file. Why does everything have to be such a fight with Linux?
>>51487646
You don't get it.
I use GNU/Linux for what it teaches me and because it gets shit done far more efficiently (and in a far more sane way) than Windows.
If I need to install adb (android debug bridge) I just search "Android" in the Archlinux Wiki.
If I need to record something I just search "video capture" in the Arch User Repositories.
Etc.

> GNU/Linux is fully customizable and you can do whatever you want with it
Sure, if you by that you mean "spend 5 hours reading a man page then find you need to change the source to get something to work"
> If you want to set a gif as wallpaper
Again proving Liniux has absolutely no use to anyone but ricers, use a better example of the unlimited brilliance of Linux next time
> That's something a Windows or Mac OS X user can't understand.
Probably because they don't need it. Do you know COBOL and ADA too?
> The pros of GNU/Linux are tech-related and cognitive.
So TL;DR "Linux is useless but it makes you feel better about yourself, like you're actually smart or something"

That is not a solution. Currently the best implementation for gaymes on Linux is a passthrough Windows VM. Everything else is unusable so it's not really an alternative or substitute.
Also, people have to use corporat shit all the time that is not developed under GNU/Linux. VMWare and Microsoft products are often the only way to get a project done if you're more than a codemonkey.

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!
Windows 7 works perfectly well, so I have no reason to switch.

I had to install Steam via the command line yesterday.

I do, on everything but my desktop.

no adobe software support.
Before you,"muh proprietary" me, it's a requirement of my job as an illustrator and graphic designer. I actually use my computer to make money, not to masturbate to software. Free alternatives to adobe stuff are all pretty shitty, unfortunately. The way the creative suite interacts well with itself is currently not replaceable. If another company comes along and creates a better alternative that covers everything like Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, acrobat pro, and aftereffects does, I'll use it. Until then, I'll keep using "muh proprietary" software.

Because you have absolute control in Linux. If they put everything you could change into a menu than everyone would complain the menus are massive and bloated.
Put common configuration changes into the menus, for everything else the user can edit the config.
FreeBSD is faster.
it's too mainstream.
It doesn't have a cool logo.

this
Truth be told I could give less of a shit if Linux was "superior" or not (It's not) because Windows is what I'm comfortable with and the environment I'm most productive in.
Having to spend so much time to re-learn how to ride a bike is for someone whose time is worthless.

That's a bad analogy.
A better analogy would be if you learned how to ride a bike and then learned how to ride a spaceship.

There are distros that ship with Steam client pre-installed but I guess Ubuntu wasn't one of them. I still think it's possible to install it without command line. Most guides just tell you to open the terminal since it's faster and should give everyone the same outcome.
There are files that you're not supposed to edit on daily basis and they require root privileges. If you create a file it shouldn't require anything.
You also don't have to use nano, you could use something like Gedit for example. You just give it some elevated rights in the terminal by writing "sudo gedit" and the GUI program pops up.
>>51490751
No, not really, maybe if you were going to learn server administration with it but that's unlikely when you're formatting C:\ and putting Ubuntu onto your consumer laptop.

>>51490824
>Also implies Linux can do more than Windows, which is just wrong.
Both OSes have features the other doesn't, but Linux has probably much more.
Some examples are FUSE and inotify.
Every fucking time I use it, I'm guaranteed to need to go into the terminal to fix something. If not, something will just decide to break. Plus it makes my nice computer feel cheap and worthless. Like I'm driving a modern sports car.
most people are too retarded

It's all about application support.
Windows holds a fuck ton of market share and it makes most every program run on Windows.
I play games but would love to switch to Linux, but the support just isn't there. I can't randomly download a program and double-click on it. That's the real problem.

Since we are talking about staying in inferior systems I'm assuming that these wheels are on a flying car. Yeah, why do you hold on to them when there's no real reason to do that?

>>51491018
Faster, safer, botnet free, adaptable, modifiable, uses package managers, updates the whole system and all of its programs from one place. It's also not tied down to one profit making company who could drop it after it stops making money, since it's open source and developed around the globe. It's pretty much only a standard, not a product.
Windows has no qualities that make it a better operating system, it only has more third party programs since it's popular. That's the only reason. If hardware manufacturers and software developers would optimize their shit to Linux instead it would give better results. Windows is popular because it's already popular. It's also pre-installed in almost every computer so you need to go out of your way to make the switch. That's not something that people bother to do. This might change after more people start using Linux and it gains popularity.

>>51491192
>Faster
Faster in the same way Windows 98 is faster than Windows 7. And because Linux drivers are so shit, it's actually still much slower in some respects.
>Safer
Only because you're restricted to your distro's closed environment of package repositories instead of being allowed to install whatever you like.
>Implying you care about botnets
>Implying windows doesn't have a shit ton of customization tools available (which are all much easier than Linux's method of manually editing configs)
Also, Microsoft pledges all of their release cycles, they don't just randomly "drop" something if it doesn't make money. Like how the Zune software was actively developed, supported and updated until like two weeks ago. Nothing like what you would see on Linux.
>>51491241
Which drivers exactly are, as you referred to them, "shit"?
Could you also please stop using avatars? It's against global >>>/rules/
Only queers use Linux
>>51491241
You aren't locked to package managers. You can use them but you can also install from source/install a downloaded binary/execute a downloaded binary. The difference is that pretty much anything worth using is in the package manager which is safer than downloading exes from multiple sources
>>51491350
I see what you're saying and after careful examination of my viewpoint under the scrutiny of your critique I've decided Linux isn't a good platform. Thanks for enlightening me

>And because Linux drivers are so shit, it's actually still much slower in some respects.
Only in gaming where you need the most from your graphics card and it needs to be optimized.
Linux is faster by architecture. Make Nvidia optimize their drivers better.
Repositories and package management are infinitely better than having to google each site and finding a download link. Also having a central update system which updates anything that has anything new means that those programs which you rarely use don't allow backdoors into your computer since they are so old.
>Implying windows doesn't have a shit ton of customization tools available (which are all much easier than Linux's method of manually editing configs)
They are not even close to being easier since you can customize things without editing configs.
>Zune software was actively developed, supported and updated until like two weeks ago. Nothing like what you would see on Linux.
So they dropped the support. Did they release everything in open source code so others can continue development or is it now permanently gone because of one company decided so?

This, as much as Freetards want to pretend that they work in a design studio and everyone applauds them for using GIMP, I also work in design and we'd laugh anyone out of the room who turned up using Linux and GIMP. Actually we'd laugh at anyone who didn't use a Mac, but we're all cunts.

>Microsoft isn't going to steal your passwords, the legal shitstorm would fucking end them
So you solved a major argument on the Internet. Any opinion about string theory ?
>No it isn't, faggot, if you want to name it after everyone who put work in, you should name it after Mozilla or Google. Your web browser does far more than that GNU CLI bullshit ever does
Are you talking about IRC, XMPP, mails, FTP or Twitter ?
I do most of my work in the browser because everything has a web interface, but for the sake of God how comes this would be an argument ?
>Sure, if you by that you mean "spend 5 hours reading a man page then find you need to change the source to get something to work"
The man tar has 815 lines, which equals to 20 pages of a book which details every situation the software is intended for.
The answer is almost always in the synopsis. If it isn't there just check the wiki.
>Again proving Liniux has absolutely no use to anyone but ricers, use a better example of the unlimited brilliance of Linux next time
My example would have easily been understood by a masturbating monkey, so I guess you did : you can do whatever you want with Linux.
It may be used for ricing and that's how I used it first but it was to show there is no customization limit.
I must say people like you, who elevate some high intellectual standards they don't understand, nor do they care about, as an argument are the worst.
>Probably because they don't need it. Do you know COBOL and ADA too?
I don't know what it is but I keep that in mind.
>So TL;DR "Linux is useless but it makes you feel better about yourself, like you're actually smart or something"
Tech-related e.g. I update every single line of code with one command prompt.
Cognitive e.g. it changes the way you see technology.

Nobody has said that at any point. All the pretentious hipster aura comes from your end. If you can't learn another product besides Adobe you're not really a professional, you're just doing what you were shown before and work with muscle memory, without understanding what it means. This shows pretty clearly if you think Macs are the only computers that you can work with. It's what you were taught to think.
It's very much possible that Linux becomes the standard in every computer. Maybe Adobe won't be the king forever either. Stop being so close-minded retard and maybe you have a job even after ten years.
