Makes no real difference to me, for the most part. I can play any game I currently play under Windows and Wine.

I do Exchange, Active Directory, and powershell work, so I'm going to be Windows for the foreseeable future. But powershell for Linux is supposed to be a thing, so there is that.

We don't describe free software as an “alternative” to proprietary,
because that word presumes all the “alternatives” are legitimate and
each additional one makes users better off. In effect, it assumes that free

Linux is the only platform that legitimately has support for OpenMPI/MPICH. Any cluster computing (a huge portion of HPC) is therefore done on Linux. Most of those users, however, don't install open equivalents of HPC software and rely on those devised by company or by other manufacturers for Linux specifically, for instance, MKL from Intel, PBSPro, and accelerator drivers for nV Tesla and Xeon Phi and whatnot. Furthermore, CAE software is prominent on Linux, there's FOSS Finite Element Methods, solvers, libraries, mesh generators, CAD programs, math suites, etc. Anyone using Windows/OS X/*BSD are severely limited in scientific software they use because of the above. Server, gaymen, and other jobs are a completely different story.

That's how it is on apt-based distros, it'll download the packages and then install them. You can use each individual one as soon as "setting up [some_packager]" scrolls by, you don't have to wait until apt finishes the last one, terminates, and frees up the terminal prompt.

You know it's true. And having the source available is all that matters. Doesn't matter how many people read it (thousands by the way).

Why would I want that when I can just type 'sudo apt-get install app1 app2 app3' and have all my software in seconds? Also no viruses.

If you're clicking at all, or typing more than a few commands, you're doing it wrong.

Use LibreOffice. It comes default on a lot of Linux distributions, and if it doesn't you can just install it via your package manager.

Problem solved. It's way better than MS Office in a lot of ways, and can read and write .doc/.docx documents just fine.A lot less clutter, and a lot less buggy.

Word is impossible to use with OneDrive integration on Windows because if you try to save something to OneDrive, it lags the fuck out of winword.exe for no reason until you're able to save again (after the dumb fucking program stops lagging the fuck out).

That's literally the reason why I use LibreOffice ON my Windows partition. Saving to OneDrive doesn't have that issue on LibreOffice. Microshit can't even get their own proprietary software to work together properly.

It isn't my computer either, as I have a AMD FX-6300 w/ a AMD Radeon R9 290, and 8GB of 1666MHz RAM.

For an iTunes alternative, use foobar2000.

If you want a Linux Distribution that doesn't require you to touch the terminal, use openSUSE. openSUSE's YaST tool allows you to configure stuff that's normally only configure-able via terminal with a GUI. Important features are being able to manage package installation/removal (programs and other stuff), and additions and removals of package repositories (URL's/servers where packages are located).

May be true but it's also a lot worse at others. Besides, Libre Offfice is just ugly. Is it too much to ask for software to look somehow aesthetically pleasant?

Same with foobar, although I saw some decent looking riced versions in screenshot threads.
Besides, I am considering getting an iPhone and it'd be a pain to use without iTunes.

openSUSE sounds interesting though, how is the driver support compared to Ubuntu?

True, but it's still incredibly more likely to happen on Windows.

That's just an aside. The main point is how simple, fast, and safe it is to install from the terminal.

>Go on then, prove 100% that Winshit has backdoors and that Linux doesn't.
I'm not going to prove anything. But what I will say is that if you're using W10, you have copious amounts of personal information being sent back to MS all the damn time. If you don't think the NSA can intercept that info easily and profile you, you're mistaken.

Its fucking horrible.

Especially the lack of enterprise grade drivers to get the most of worsktation based graphics cards.

I know a company who almost went bankrupt trying to offer BIM services under linux in win vm. It was a joke.

Linux has a lot ahead and its current fanbase wont like the changes, so it stays something good for light work and nothing taxing for hardware (lolblender gimp and those wanna be )

The Windows gamer will always find games he just has to, has to play on top of games he could play on Linux. I guess it could be called game gluttony instead of greed. There is always something more you have to gobble up. The unavailability of some game will make the glutton's mouth water for the game no matter how irrational it may be. How many games does a person need? (rhetorical question) So my point stands. There are easily enough games for any reasonable person to play on a Linux system and keep him entertained, but there will never be enough for the glutton. That's why obsessive gamers are never content with just having one game console. There could be a mountain of games for the system, but it's never enough to satisfy him.

Safe, yes. But fast and simple? Your still need to find out WHAT to install aka. Google, so the speed argument goes here and while it's technically simple, a person new to computers will be scared just looking at a terminal.
"Hey, mom, just open the terminal and type sudo apt-get -s install X"

>if you're using W10, you have copious amounts of personal information being sent back to MS all the damn time.
If you configure it that way or sure plebian Pro/Home versions. Arguing that basic telemetry information from Enterprise is personal info is moving into tinfoil territory and beyond reasonable discussion.

The Enterprise does send a shit-ton of data to Microsoft and its partners. I guess you have to have a lot of trust in Microsoft to think it's fine.

They offered linux machines in hp workstations with windows 7 vm running revit.

They put linux because the it was a fedoracore insuferable faggot and was the first one to go dlying when thing went south

It's less about quantity than quality. There are probably 5-6 games I'd like to have and if I can't play THIS games, having 2151515 others that will run with Linux doesn't help me in any way. Not to say your point doesn't apply to some people but it's still pretty faulty.

It's similar to a person wanting to use Photoshop or whatever, having countless freetard alternatives is not the point if you want to use Photoshop.
>>
>>53524556
Just like you have to trust the people auditing Linux source unless you happen to be a rare minority who does it themselves.

Besides, I trust the businesses using it more than MS. If countless professional admins who manage the systems of huge business consider Enterprise save enough for their business ... it's probably save enough for my desktop with minimal amounts of personal information on it.

the only way to get the market to focus on linux compatibility is to move to linux, and i don't mean move to linux and still dual-boot/wine everything. if you don't have a version for linux then you can't have my money.

That said, I bought all of the starcrafts and i have a copy of windows 7 professional/now windows 10 that i still use either in a VM or dual boot into, but im a sysadmin that requires windows so i don't feel naughty.

i have moved to linux though and I love linux, 99% of what i do i can do for free, easier than windows, without security implications, etc... just, muh games. I love gaming... but as I've said, unless i move to linux and only pay for titles that release for linux, the industry will never have a reason to program for it.

don't pay for games that don't have a linux version.

But many businesses don't consider Enterprise safe enough.

Also, some of the biggest enterprise clients will also contract a modified version of the system. They're not just picking up a vanilla Enterprise edition. These are clients of major importance to Microsoft and hence they'll bend over backwards to please them.

Yes I would. Windows 10 is even worst tha vista and now it went full mobile with apps and shit. I only use Windows 10 because directX12 and muh games.

But it is superiorior for shit like AutoCAD, Photoshop, Premiere, video games etc, that's the fucking point.
Linux is superior for network stuff, but normies rarely need that.

I just want to play Fallout and TES games man. OpenMW is pretty cool but it's difficult to play modded NV and Skyrim in Wine and Fallout 4 doesn't work yet.

I just like playing games with mods friend, Dragon Age modding is dead because of DRM, and Witcher and M&B are fun but the community's much smaller, plus M&B 2 will be out eventually anyway. Source community is shit, much worse than the Bethesda community.

Dont listen to >>53524491, that "company" clearly did not use passthrough.

KVM+PCI-e passthrough is near native performance, the only overhead being from the KVM hypervisor which is very little.

Windows fucked shit up more often for me than Linux has. Linux has actually been rather smooth sailing. It's just a meme you hear from people who use tryhard distros that make it more difficult than it has to be, not every distro works this way.

When internet pugins and shit work as least as well as on windows.
When the Word alternative works at least as well as on windows.

Until that happens, I'll continue to use windows +cygwin on my main computer, because it works much better than linux + wine.

But the only games I play are CIV 5 and League of Legends

CIV 5 runs fine natively in Linux and league runs on 150+ fps max settings through wine.
