There are fewer advantages to using Linux over Windows today than there were 3 years ago. yes?
>>
>>53722575
Depends on your point of reference.
>>
No. The year of the GNU + Linux desktop is coming soon.
>>
Not really. Windows 10 sucks.
>>
Only advantages I can think of are video games, photoshop, and excel/office
>>
>>53722575
No.
>>
>>53722665
Photoshop works with Linux, anon.

Linux is more private, and will always be more lightweight. It also supports legacy hardware much better if you're running on a toaster like me
>>
>>53722696
I am not talking about a workaround or VM anon

In a little less than 4 years GNU/Linux wins the desktop by default.

bahahaha good one anon

>>53722575
everything's the same as it was 3 years ago, except microsoft added the advantage that linux doesn't zip their users' home folders and upload them to the developers

...cause that's how long it takes to get Gentoo having anything resembling a positive user experience
>>
>>53722575
would've been true before win10
since then windows has entirely dropped out of the competition. 7 and 8 will eventually run out of support and then windows will be a mere artifact of history for me. sorry, but they fucked it up so thoroughly this time with all of these cuckolding features, it's literally beyond saving. fucked up beyond all recognition.

>>53722906
no, that's how long it takes until win7 support runs out.
>>
>>53722906
No, because that's when Microsoft officially exists the desktop OS business with only hybrid tablet and tablet platforms remaining supported.
