Hey /g/,

Yesterday I decided that I don't want to use Windows anymore.
So I did the following:
>List of software I frequently use
>Is software compatible with linux?
>If not, searching for alternatives
>Found everything
>Migrating from OneDrive to Dropbox
>Installing Ubuntu (for starters)
>Disabling all Botnet activity
>Begin installing prefferred software
>Everything works
>Jacking off to it

Why haven't you switched to Linux yet?

why would i?

No adobe suite: I need after effects.

>>53900294
Buy a Mac
At least it's UNIX based

Gaming desu senpai. Wine doesn't cut it for running Windows only games.

Gaming desktop is windows. Work pays me to use windows. Laptop arch, tv mint, wife mint.

>Why haven't you switched to linux yet?

Why the fuck would I want to do that to myself? I would rather masturbate with a sandpaper glove than adopt an OS that literally is designed and intended for idiots who want to feel elite while they struggle to do even the most basic shit.

Hey you are aware linux is not technology right? It does not belong on /g/. You should take this thread elsewhere.
>>
>>53900241
>Why haven't you switched to Linux yet?

Windows works completely fine for me whilst also letting me utilise hardware I paid good money for.

On Linux (last tested 3mo ago) it still cannot, after 6 years of me trying, even do the most basic shit like suspend and resume reliably. It's hardly suprising that being completely free of price even after 20 years it has desktop market-share of 1.5% there are so many bugs and niggles that some autist online has you open a 1980's TTY emulator to "fix" things.

Just end yourself senpai

Stop supporting shit developers then.

>>53900409
Sounds like you're fucking up, since suspend/hibernate and resume works fine on my desktop and laptop. Maybe you shouldn't blame the OS for you being stupid.
>>
>>53900241
You disabled all botnet but then signed up for dropbox? Really?
>>
>>53900446
How was literally used incorrectly?

So that right there lets us all know the type of sheets you have on your bed. Whats her name?

Typical useless gnu luser brain fart. Works flawlessly OOTB on Windows.

>>53900493
Works flawlessly OOTB on my machines as well. Still sounds like you're just retarded.

Well I do need some kind of cloud. I'm planning to install ownCloud on the long run.
But I don't want to rent a vServer or something.
Maybe I'll buy a raspberry pi or something

BUT
My files are encrypted using cryptomator

>>53900241
Enjoy, I guess. I did the same few months ago after realizing that I'm not using Windows partition at all. Use whatever works for you and don't force it on others.

God for you?
Google search shows 60,000 less results for linux (834,000 total) not waking from sleep than windows not waking from sleep.

Considering Windows has 90% market share and Linux 1.5% I have a feeling it doesn't work for a lot of people on Linux and not me being stupid. The sooner you freetards pull your head out your ass and realise problems so you can fix them is the day GNU/Linux isn't cancer.
>>
>>53900564
Just go back to whatever subreddit you came from and stop trying so hard, you're trying way too hard desu senpai.
>>
>>53900569
>Google search shows 60,000 less results for linux (834,000 total) not waking from sleep than windows
So you're literally agreeing that it's your own retardedness, since there's less results on it not working on a Linux based system

>>53900569
>Considering Windows has 90% market share and Linux 1.5%
Nice try, but Linux is actually dominating the tech world if you count all devices, not just normies on the desktop. Maybe get a job in IT and realize how much stuff runs on GNU+Linux.
>>
>>53900564
I remember first visiting reddit (it was some AMA ) after a decade of browsing 4chan. Holy fuck I don't get how people find it usable. 4chans format is far better, at least for me.

I switched to linux 16 years ago, Anon-kun, when I given my first computer, which came with Windows Millenium Edition.

What took you so long?

I thought you were a troll/shill and know I know for sure.

>So you're literally agreeing that it's your own retardedness, since there's less results on it not working on a Linux based system
Nice taking it out of context, or maybe your frontal lobe isnt developed enough to process a whole paragraph at a time.

Windows = 90%
Linux = 1.5%
The fact Linux has 830k results compared to Windows 890k results is something to worry about.

>Nice try, but Linux is actually dominating the tech world if you count all devices, not just normies on the desktop.
Ah yes, when talking about linux desktop and loosing fall back on "muh servers, muh supah computers!". We're talking about DESKTOP.

Trolls like you are the reason Linux desktop will continue to fail for eternity. Btw I wont be replying further so feel free to go all out out, you'll get a gold medal at the retard Olympics if you carry on like this.

Most cash registers actually run an old version of Windows. You'd know this if you did your research.

Trying hard? I understand that a typed sentence or 2 is a lot of effort to a person like yourself, but really, no effort really for me to type. You perhaps should take better care of yourself. Who knows, maybe your dad won't hang his head in shame anymore with the realization he spawned a little faggot who wishes he was a little Asian faggot.

That's about it. I've used Linux before but I've never stuck with it for one reason or another.
>>
Because the case you've outlined is here is that you're over the moon because you managed to get nearly all the things you had working on Windows working on Linux. Where's the benefit? The shit already worked.

holy shit, haha wow
