Why are you still using windows?
because:
1) I use this computer for gaming
2) I don't develop nor know anything about programming
3) Most programs/games are only available in windows
4) I can handle most windows problems well, so no bug problems
There is no reason for me to use another operative system.
>>52023267
Well, 95% of the time I use GNU/Linux. I only boot into Windows on my desktop occasionally to play a video game. I use Linux for literally everything else.
>>52023309
>I don't develop nor know anything about programming
>operative system
you may as well have just said "im a retard" and left it at that.
Because it fills my needs just fine. I don't have a real reason to jump to another OS after using Windows for so many years.
>>52023267
why do you care
>>52023267
Because I have actual work to do instead of fixing things that should already function
I'm not though. Using gnu/Linux 100% of the time now.
I use my computer to play games and check facebook. Not to bypass government spying and pretend to write applications that have already been developed time and time again and are all over the internet for free.
>>52023347
>>52023396
Fuck off nerds, nobody should have use to an OS that has 1% share and few games because a few virgins told him to.
Because it makes pirating much more funner
>>52023505
Show some respect. I'll have you know that I am a wizard!
>>52023505
if your priorities are such that gaymin is high on the list then you need to sort your shit out before you come here venturing worthless opinions.
additionally, how is it you can say something is better than something else when your dumbass is to dumb and lazy to wrap your head around half of what it is you're talking about?

Maybe he wants to talk about technology, ever thought about that you autist.
>>52023347
>>52023396
just because i'm into gaming and used a term semi-incorrectly doesn't exactly means i'm a retard.
this board is as toxic as /v/ when it comes to opine against the majority, and to be honest i've seen as many "rate my partpicker pc" as "linux friendly question thread".
i'd love to see a /pro/ or linux board so the technology board actually talks about what it should.
sorry if this sounds normie or another fucking toxic slur you put against non-toxic people.

Well I'm real, just like how you're a loser who will never sexually satisfy anything other than your hand.
Because I don't base my decision for an OS off the year number.
>>52023648
Surely there's a subreddit or a Facebook group where "he" can do that.
>>52023662
we dont mind normies. its just half you fuckers are a) dumb as rocks - without the slightest inclination to actually go try to learn shit for themselves b) so goddamn brainwashed by your retarded notions of what the tech scene and those that are all about it - that you're met with nothing but distain when you stick out as the retard on the board
case in point >>52023637 - ive never watched animu in my life - where the fuck's he coming from?
if you can stop that shit we'll actually be able to discuss cool shit
oh and all of you 'nix bashers are fucking idiots. unix based os's (osx, linux) are fucking dreams, especially for guys who actually bring in a paycheck via a computer, so coming here shitting on it bc youre a butt hurt little bitch theres something beyond your comprehension out there
>>52023758
That means everytime some guy comes here with the hope to see technology threads will get redirected to some 2008 facebook group or a sub-reddit? This is a neo-linux board, is it?
>>52023798
lol and apologies for the obscene sentence structure and omissions - i think you get the gist
>>52023734
Why are you here, to argue? Sure fucking seems like it.
If you're a teenager i don't see any alternative.
>>52023830
I came here to talk about operating systems, but we got sidetracked for a bit there.
>>52023502
So you pay for an operating system to do that?
>>52023819
Any tech-savy board or group will most likely be pro-linux since it's a far more versatile OS than Windows.
>>52023830
You're getting trolled or "baited" or whatever the fuck they call it these days.

>>52023267
I have a job. I can't afford to say this program "doesn't work" on my desktop pc because there isn't a good Linux port for it or it sucks on Wine. Yes, I want to be able to work at home too not just watch anime and rice arch.
Also visual studio is objectively the best ide ever made. inb4:
>using an ide instead of muh gcc + vim
This is why non neets don't take fa/g/s seriously.
>>52023267
Because it gets the job done. And i can play my games on it. And not, im not a manchild, i play casually.
>>52023798
You are deluded, having a moderate knowledge of computers is more than enough. You certainly don´t need to know how to code to fit here.
I've used Kubuntu, Mint, and every Windows version out there, and i still prefer Windows.
We "normies" as you say simply don't care about frivolous things like what OS you're supposed to be using. We don't waste out time with shit like this.
I prefer going out with my gf rather than spending 6 hours trying to make a NIC work on Linux.
I dont have autism, i don't don't get any satisfaction from installing a driver and making it work.
Do you get it now?
>>52024018
Not him, but if you're such a tech-ignorant "normie" then why would you pick this particular board, out of the entire fucking Internet, to be on?
>>52024018
what you don't get is no one gives two fucks about what you prefer. your opinion is irrelevant bc you use computers to creep on girls, jack off, and gaym. who the fuck are you to solicit an opinion here?

But im not, i like hardware and every kind of tech gizmo out there, i read tons of reviews of every piece of hardware. I know how to build and repair a PC.
I just dont care about coding or anything like that.
I know how to use GNU, but i just cant be bothered to use it.
I prefer when things just "werks"
Why is it so fucking hard to understand?
>>52024191
Don't bother, the cult of GNU cannot allow someone who likes to make a choice.
>>52023267
But RMS, I use Debian GNU/Linux on my desktop and laptop. Please forgive me for using FreeBSD on my servers and router!

>Hurr durr I have a job
Figures, you're also one of those people that thinks windows = jobs and jobs = windows. You're on /g/ so you think everyone here wants to program for a living so windows is the best option, right? What if they want to program as a hobby and build houses for a living? Autist.
>>52024191
well you're on your way. get into networking and build your own homelab or something. somewhere along the line, you may find yourself editing code here and there, maybe writing some. at that point, young patawon you'll probably use nix daily and youll be like man back in the day i should have just learned to stfu

>But Anon, GNU/Linux does "just werk", provided you have half a brain to use it with.
Most of the time, yes. But when it doesn't you must go though dozens of forums to find an answer and hopefully a fix to your problem.
And the most important thing, my gaymes dont work on it. And since I use my PC as a entertainment system Linux isn´t a viable option right now.
It may change on a future though.

Computers get boring if you use the same thing for ages. Linux is fun to fuck around with . As you get older you find other things to fuck around with though, such as a Girlfriend, wine tasting, and the Stock market
Because I like to play games and there's literally no other OS for it.
Why would I dual boot when I don't gain anything for normal use?
>>52023267
All of the stuff I uses is for window;, no there are not GNU/Linux alternatives.
I actually dislike how windows operates(I'm a control autist) but Productivity+Entertainment> everything else.
I'm hoping People keep pushing the KVM/Type 1 hyper-visor thing because that will most-likely cause the most change in the market,
I mean Intel, Nvidia and Asus actively attempt to sabotage virtualization, so it *must* be the right path.
>>52024727
no there is absolutely no reason to. Windows 10 + Xbox One setup must be heaven for kids these days. How is the windows 10 update for xbox one?
I've got an i3 Surface Pro 3, which I love for note-taking in class, and drawfagging.
I want to switch to Linux, but I'm worried about touchscreen support. Also, I'm worried that something will be required for my developing classes, and only runs on Windows. Since my model only has 4GB of ram, I can really use a VM.
I upgraded to Windows 10 twice, and reverted both times. I'm more and more disgusted by M$, and I'd really like to get away.
I use it for my job, but after I get a second GPU I'm switching to Linux and running it through KVM
Why not? Most of the software I use is developed for windows (GIS and statistics applications) and running wine/VMs on Linux seems like a workaround to an inexistent problem.
>>52023267
Why do you keep asking that every week? It's games, it has always been games, and it will always be games.
Stop asking that stupid question now.
>>52024909
>All of the stuff I uses is for window;, no there are not GNU/Linux alternatives.
i find this hard to believe
Gaymes and no drivers on my laptop
I dont feel like wasting my time
>>52023267
>using gnu+linux
>almost 2016
yeah, I sure love wasting my time trying to get drivers to work properly, having to edit pictures with that heap of shit known as gimp and not being able to edit videos on top of no vidya
free software is a joke
When AMD makes catalyst use the open source kernel driver and wayland compositors are mainstream I plan on switching over to it full time.
>>52023267
Because xorg updates don't break my video drivers.
because i enjoy using my expensive hardware for something more than updating the kernel
>>52023324
Which is what all gamers should do. So they get some experience of how it feels to have some privacy. Without ever experiencing privacy, people don't mind if it is taken away.

That's all I got.
>>52023267
Because I use my desktop for media consumption, gaymen, and Adobe's shit.
My laptop and server both run Linux, but that's just not viable on my desktop.
>>52027305 in meant for a person who just wants to do things that don't require being a manchild or a codemonkey
>>52027305
Oh and then there's the >muh privacy argument people will spout. Sure, maybe Linux lets get around some stupid botnets or whatever but it dose the matter since they've already been compromised a long time ago through your internet accounts and smartphone. Hell, even having any sort of e-mail account gives you away. It's stupid.
>>52023267
>works out of the box

Switched between os x and Linux before, they both have advantages. However the windows environment just works for me. I don't need all the sudo woodoo voodoo gumming up my personal flow, or neck bearded admins condescending to me as a win pleb on the regular.
>>52027389
Linux is probably more secure and stable than Windows, even if we assume the person using it is a total moron and logs in with root whenever they use their computer. I've only really mucked up my install once on Linux, and it explicitly warned me about it.
I have yet to see significant results, but I think I've heard that Linux gets better performance out of the games that run, and with Linux emulation, FreeBSD is even better (read an article that said FreeBSD was up to 60% better than Ubuntu for gaymen)

Doing this aswell. It's the most logical thing to do as a gamer/modder.
>>52027904
Yea so it basically matters less than it already did. Makes me wonder if anything important actually got compromised because of this. Probably not, since you either needed to be serial'd into the device or be sitting in front of it.
If you think the Grub exploit is an example of poor Linux security, you're sorely mistaken, since most hackers are unwilling or unable to get into my house. The only thing the grub exploit was good for was for whoever lives with you to break into your computer, assuming their tech literate enough to know about the exploit before it got fixed and dumb enough to not use something more effective.
>>52023500
Windows needs more fixing than beginner gnu/linux distros in my experience. Also it takes longer to install all the software I need on windows. (Even with ninite)

Typing 4 words in to install a program is extremely convenient. No clicking and searching the web needed. In some beginner distros there even is a graphical front end for this. Like in mint.
>>52024210
FreeBSD is free software so I don't think he would mind.
>>52024338
It's more convenient for a lot of things. Even normie things. You can for example use a desktop environment on which you can resize windows via keyboard shortcuts or always keep a certain window on top of everything. (Video while browsing, manuals for stuff, music players)
>>52023267
Because I'm an adult with things to do. keep playing with your toy OS, kids.
>>52024231
>>52023798
Why do people believe they're on an upper scale just because they spent a few days relearning another OS? I just hate that fucking elitism you people have with that.
From my experience, the only thing people who defend unix are better than a normal windows user is that they know how to google search.

Linux and windows are both great but have their weaknesses
>>52028457

>>52028487
Blender has more capabilities than you think. Having a steep learning curve doesn't make a program bad.

>>52028676

So you don't work with it professionally anyway. For the interface there is a mode where everything is in one window. It's good enough for 95% of people. If you are the 5% of professional editors you would have paid for the adobe suite.

here's your answer
Linux used to be good.
YaST, a Real Firefox, XFS... lot of good stuff incmluded, screensavers, walpapers., every distro was different.
now it's bloatware. mandatory free and buggy drivers, a voluntary lack of support for "nonfree" software/drivers, Ubuntu now does like Apple/MS monetizing with Amazon.

>People are pissed off at their os all the time
yeah sure they are
>>52030890
>>52031190
You don't talk to people much do you?
>>52031230
i talk to people outside of /g/, you should try it
>>52031181
People are generally pissed at their computer, but blame the hardware or a nonexistent virus.
>>52023267
because i have work to do
>>52023267
Because the shit OS that fat fuck has helped create is 0% usable for people who just want to get shit done without having to be an expert at managing every stupid little detail of your OS you shouldn't even have to know about.
>>52023267
Because I don't have time to spend fixing my OS.
>>52023267
I am not. I use only Debian+Gnu+Linux+systemd everyday.
foobar2000, desu. I can't play all my SACD ISOs on any program on Linux. Also, pulse audio a shit.
>>52023267
I like the convenience of using certain Windows only software.
>>52032258
>SACD
this, makes my platinum coated diamond shielded silver nitrate compound cable a complete waste
>>52023267
Muh Adobe suite.
>>52032281
Such as? Curious as to which software people stick with Windows for. Used to be video games for me, but pretty much stopped playing so jumped ship for no particular reason
>>52032323
Lots of music software like Ableton, VSTs...
Also Vegas, Foobar, Speedfan...
>>52032360
Ah fair enough
>foobar
okay, this is the one thing that kept me at Windows for the last years kek, fucking love foobar, but my setup is simple enough I'm sure i'll be able to replicate it
>>52032360
>Speedfan
wat
>>52032379
It controls the fan speed of pretty much any fan, automated with custom curves and based on pretty much any sensor.
>>52023396
>>52027110
You're just going to ignore his argument about more program availability on windows and instead use the "hurr durr only faggots play games"?
>>52028602
You're either delusional or in denial
I swear this community is so fucking cancerous. And we wonder why people don't want to use Linux as much as windows.
>inb4 winfag doesn't know anything
I dualboot
>>52032454
Anything vidya related to Linux is pretty much a dead discussion desu. For gamers Windows is better, everyone knows it.
>>52032513
It's not just vidya, though.
I hate to say it but pretty much any kind of software has better Windows support.
Unless it's programming/text editing, simple office shit, simple browsing or media playback, Linux is lacking.
>>52032590
physics does pretty good in linux
engineering for everything but cad
>using Linux
What's your excuse?
because every time I used it, there was some horrible showstopping bug that made me go back to windows.
Because I use Photoshop on a regular basis
>almost 2016
>almost year + 1 of the linux desktop
>herherherher
Real men use GNU/Hurd, not that bullshit lunix horseshit, GNU did it first.
I'm a windows system administrator. I support the big three but mainly it's a Microsoft shop.
I could work from Linux but I'd need a lot more stuff to do the same thing as on a windows PC. for home use I have a PC for games and a laptop running eOS plus a Ubuntu server.
>>52032943
>GNU/Hurd
>implying it's even in a usable state
tried to install Debian+Hurd in VM, froze installation.
There's no other kernel for GNU, and only a few Linux based truly free alternatives. Also poetteringware.
>>52027984
That's a lot of rebooting back and forth though, isn't it?
>>52023309
Get off g nigger wangblows is for plebs.
>>52023267
but i'm not using windows, senpai
>>52032986
Let's be fair now. Windows is just an operating system, nothing wrong in using it. Flaunting around the fact that you only use your computer to plat video games is the true plebeian thing to do.
>>52032943
This man has to be edgy as fuck calling the linuxfags fgts. GNU did it first? Kiddo Hitler wasn't the first one to try genocide but by god he was the best at it.
>>52033008
I'll compromise windows wasn't so bad back in 7 when it wasn't a complete botnet.
>>52033017
>Hitler was best at genocide
Laughingstalin.soviet
>>52033017
No Hitler was not the best at genocide. In terms of pure numbers, Stalin has a far larger kill count.
Normie doesn't know that most game companies use Linux based servers for hosting downloads and servers.
>>52033035
Yea but Hitler is a meme so off to the gulag with u
>>52033047
and neckbeard doesn't know that most game companies use Windows to develop their games
>>52033033
Windows has always been NSA+Windows. Now it's NSA+CorporateSpyware+Windows
>>52023267
Because just werks!
Because i play gamed
Also for those of you implying that shouldnt be a priority there is literally no feature i want that windows doesnt have
What other shit could i possibly be using my personal computer for that i need linux to do?
>>52033112
Thanks to SystemD and SELinux linux is now GNU+NSA+Linux
>>52033164
i still don't understand the problem tat people have with systemd
>>52033008
Whats wrong with gaming?
I use my computer to play games and browse the Internet, you can call me a normie all you want but not doing a shit ton with my computer doesnt make me a normie, you people are just so detached from the reality of what people use their computers for
>>52033228
https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=14/11/11/1348235
>>52023267
I will stop using windows when photoshop and corel draw get native versions for linux.
>>52033250
Nothing wrong with gaming and using it to look at anime grills, but surely those can't be the ONLY thing you do? I mean, you have a (reasonably) powerful computer, right? Don't you ever get curious as to what else you can do with it? As a hobby I mean, things that you can use your computer for other than pure entertainment.
But whatever, I'm sure my words only fall on deaf ears.
>>52033164
Most distros don't use selinux.
>>52033329
I have no editing or 3d modeling talent at all
Any effort to do those things would just end with garbage anyway
>>52033260
Why corel? Don't you like krita?
>>52033357
>krita
>looked it up
>furfag software
>apparently this is what one of the users considers Boromir to look like
>>52033357
Not that guy, but Linux always has some cheapo quickly made alternative that just rubs me the wrong way.
>>52033385
>apparently this is what one of the users considers Boromir to look like
You will find terrible art for every program or are you saying Photoshop or Corel Painter users all produce 10/10 art exclusively?
Because I'm so retarded that it was too late when I found out that if my motherboard had an HDMI port at the very least I would be able to do some mad virtualization for games
>>52033357
krita is for furfags.
Corel has been standard in spoolers for ages.
keep coloring your animu with krita, goy
>>52033676
You can always add a cheap 2nd GPU
>>52033066
Ya we have no step in development. Consumers usually deal with You know, consuming, you fuckwit.
>>52023267
i aint
>>52033726
>Consumers
Please don't use that word when referring to computer users
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Consumer
>>52033746
>we suggest terms such as “individuals” and “citizens,” rather than “consumers.”
christ, those guys are off the deep end pretty hard
>>52033746
>“Linux system”
>Linux is the name of the kernel that Linus Torvalds developed starting in 1991. The operating system in which Linux is used is basically GNU with Linux added. To call the whole system “Linux” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system GNU/Linux, both to give the GNU Project credit and to distinguish the whole system from the kernel alone.
Fuck me, I though that copy pasta was 100% a joke
>>52033721
It has only one PCIe x16 port and I think that would probably be overkill on the PSU (I have an ASUS r9 280x and a 6850HD, and a 700W PSU).
Unless I can use a GPU on a PCIe 2.0 port I think I'm fucked. It'd be nice if there was some real black magic where I could use my dedicated GPU ports with the integrated graphics. That way I would have the same monitor with multiple HDMI cables connected only to the dedicated GPU and would switch inputs. But obviously if I want to use the integrated graphics I need to use that VGA port on the motherboard.
>>52023267
because i can install it and everything is fine.
>>52023267
Mostly because of games, although there's also plenty of software with no Linux alternative... that I'm aware of, at least. I'm also a complete retard and don't even know how to launch Firefox Developer Edition after installing it via GUI-based package manager.
>>52033801
Low-end GPUs only use a few Watts.
You can use it on a PCIe card that has more than 1 lane on PCIe-1x
Should not cost more than 30-40 $
>>52033746
>That link
>Drinking the Linux coolaid that hard
>>52033843
You mean the GNU kool-aid
>>52033793
It's outdated though
The operating system itself is basically systemd and its binaries plus linux. GNU is just userland software like vim and thunar. It's like the xcode developer tools on macs - handy, but not OS-critical.
>>52033837
Well that's actually interesting. Didn't know there were GPUs compatible with those ports.
>>52023267
Games, that's the only reason I use Windows anymore.
