It's already happening OP. The fun thing is that there's no way to track and create statistics how many people are actually using GNU/Linux on their desktops, simply because GNU/Linux is not a botnet that sends personal informations to companies.

I seriously don't understand why someone would want for linux to never success massively on the desktop space. If we don't count linux currently the only option for most computers (because mac can only be officially used on apple's hardware) is windows and it comes bundled with every computer. Actually if we consider that every computer sold increases by itself the windows market share the fact that 1 of each 100 persons (if we assume 1% marketshare) choose by their own will to use linux means that the amount of linux users grows with the desktop market.
Windows users will not be affected if windows loses for example 20% of its marketshare, they'll still have support from all third parties secured, in any case linux users are the ones who have something valuable to win if it success, but windows users doesn't win anything valuable if it don't success, in fact they have more to lost because competition is good for customers.
Let's assume for a moment that linux starts defeating windows in efficiency with videogames, which is something that actually can happen with vulkan:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Win10-Linux-Vulkan-Early
this will force MS to make their OS more efficient and to be more carefull on how they treat their users if they don't want to lose a customer.
>>53985644
i use loonix only to clone windoze partition on more and more machines.
>>53986525
probably there's a way to do that using windows or a proprietary software like acronis trueimage. (which is always better)

>>53988883
Then why do freetards keep trying to get literally everyone to use it?
>>53989354
I don't know.
But it's not a product, We aren't selling anything. Linux is meant to be free.

well yeah. windows xp is really hard to go back to that

Great post famlam
>>53990867
Pretty much
Consumerfags take it personal because for them everything is an ad for something to opt in to gain social status.
Have you noticed how every attack to linux is either an ad-hominem or directed towards comparing it to other available mainstream OS for entirely different purpouses?
Before these cvcks came here Year of the Linux desktop was a funny meme

Yeah if you build and compile your own kernel and utils.....
the neckbear who gets his from ubuntu repos are tainted by the NSA.
>>53993287
why you shouldnt use linux is why you shouldnt use assembler to edit pictures. linux is counterproductive. every single free software package is written with least amount of motivation possible. if you need to read documentation every time you want to do something, the software is not doing its job.
>>53993318
I compiled my own kernel and utils.
Am I NSA safe according to your logic?
>>53993338
It becomes easier with experience. The target audience of GNU/Linux is not mass consumer, I'll admit straight away
>>53985644
So why are you trying to stop me from using Linux? :¬)

You may not be a specific target but some of your info may have been collected as you pass through US networks.

-An old xperia with no google services (rooted). I only make/recieve calls and texts
-I don't put out any data, no internet connection. Phone tapping is an US thing. Also, if I really really had to, I would not use a smartphone at all.

I use Linux because GNOME. I use GNOME because workspace management is so sleek
Don't give a shit about FOSS or any other autistic principles. And it just werks

Well, this problem could be solved by some virtualization solutions

I buily my own microprocessor. None of the instructions conform to IBM standard. None of the file formats or text encoding have anything in common with current technology. Any information the NSA would attempt to collect from me would show up as garbage on their end.

In Windows, this is possible too, but implementation of this is very bad
>>53993809
Which is why I prefer GNOME.

But it cannot protect you by collecting logs of messages/some shit on server, which you can't control.
>>53993799

>>53993732
It's not really Windows vs GNOME in my case, I just really like how everything feels so smooth and that I can drop windows into separate workspaces, slide through them with keyboard shortcuts, get unobtrusive interactive notifications from my music player, Desktop Search, comfy font rendering (well not really gnome related, infinality), that neat little dock, "Places" shortcut, and a ton of other things. Some you could probably do in Windows I'm sure, but like GNOME just works perfectly with my use case
Use what works best for you, I'm not going to shove my software choice down anyone's throat
>>53993732
Incorrect comparsion, GNOME is not operating system, it's just one of many DE's.
>>53993943
oh wait. not those. you can change the size though. yep. use a different OS because you can't change the font. font matters because you'll be busy dealing with OS font everywhere since there are no useful software that you can use. that' why font matters.

I only use windows because of >MUH GAMEZ.
If there was a way to play ALL (old and new) windows only games on linux without the performance hit, I'd change (wine is not a solution). I like the terminal.
>>53994217
use cmd
real world only uses linux in server farms and they use commercial software, not free software.
VAST MAJORITY OF BANKS USE WINDOWS SERVER
>still replying to paid MS troll and not reporting every single anti-GNU thread
>>53994250
Vast majority of hospitals use linux. It's pretty 50/50, but trends are moving towards windows server and AZURE.
>>53994217
>all
Even Windows doesn't play all old and new Windows games. Get over it and realize that Wine plays any relevant non-GNU game JUST FUCKING FINE.
Grow up and drop your baby OS and install GNU.
>>53985644
I use it because it's actually faster and more stable on my laptop. So fuck off.
I just wish linux had games and the display drivers [and managers] didn't suck a massive donkey dick
working on windows 8/8.1/10 is extremely painful on a desktop [10 is so bad that small issues like a wifi driver/OS mismatch will cause a BSOD, something that I've never had happen on any of the linux distros I've tried or any windows before 7, even the abysmal, barely working, Debian could handle low connectivity wifi after raping it's face with proprietary software]
>>53994380
>wifi driver/OS mismatch will cause a BSOD
I know that feeling. My wifi drops every 30 minutes
>>53994443
install a whql signed stable wifi driver
Windows 7 is better, prove me wrong.
>>53994567
Man I used to use windows 7. It was better. I didn't use XP as much, I jumped straight from 98
But MS is getting pretty desperate with spyware 10. Linux is fine by me. The only logical solution is running windows in a VM with no network
>>53994620

>>53985644
Seems to happen for me all day everyday (for the most part) just fine to be honest matey.
But I'm not a zealot, I use OSX and Windows as well if I have to; but Linux is my main machine that I use for just about everything and it's great.
