how many of you faggots actually use linux as your main OS?
my guess is maybe 0 or 1
It's probably a lot more, sadly
They will shill it all day and night but in reality 99.9% of them are shitposting from winshit. Linux is just a meme
the real question does anyone not underage or from a third world country use linux as their main OS? If so, are you some hikikomori who does nothing productive?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
I only have arch Gnu/Linux on my computer.

are you autistic? I don't get why you'd open up some document and copy paste this shit
I use Linux, I have three computers and only one of them has Windows (for games) and I do everything else with my Linux computers.
That's how it should be done. Unless you want to use only one computer and set up a GPU passthrough for gaymen.
>>54199753
>for games
really the only reason windows is even in my ecosystem, would love to use Linux in its place on the desktop but it's just too much hassle for that purpose. For anything non-gaming GNU is perfection.
Currently I have machines witn arch and windows ME powered on.
desktop: arch
thinkpad t400: arch
rpi1b: openelec
router: openwrt
phone: cm13
vps: arch
Linux has been my daily driver since I was 14. Back in 1998. It was a horrible time for driver support.
>>54199803
>windows ME
Why would you subject yourself to that?
>>54199828
Linux is literally perfect, aside from game developers optimising their shit for directx 12, linux is better in almost every way. It's faster, it doesn't come included with bloatware, it's very customisable, it's very secure etc. The only thing stopping me from fully moving to linux is the fact that I still need windows and directx in 2016 despite vulkan existing.
>>54199877
Linux is also just a kernel and you are a tech illiterate and should leave /g/ forever.
>>54199912
Damn.... le GNU/Linux maymay amirite?

I know what linux is, but it's just easier for me to type linux instead of "linux operating systems" every time. I'm not in an exam or some shit, so I don't have to be literal about it.
>>54199912
>Linux is also a monolithic kernel that handles practically everything hardware --> software and therefore should be called an OS

I use fedora 23 as my main OS, since its stable, bloatfree and the ui with gnome is incredibly nice to use if you work with a lot of windows open.
I have windows 10 installed for games and other shit but rarely use it.
>>54199645
>>54199645
Linux is my main OS. The last time I booted into windows was to shrink it's partition so I would have more space on the linux side, that was ~8 months ago.
Maybe you're just too stupid to learn something new? I mean if you can't get linux to work then by all means use winblows, just stop being so butthurt about it.

Not sure why people have such negative opinions of that system. I doubt most of the people that shit on Me have ever used it. It crashes no more than 95, 98, and 98se did, and it conveniently comes with drivers for usb mass storage devices.
The only downside of it is you don't have the ms dos mode reboot option, but you can easily solve that by modifying the boot files to give you multiple boot options (windows mode, and several different dos modes for your different needs).
Drivers isn't much of a problem either.
Seen people people shit on 2k too for some reason. Either they confuse it with Me, or they shit on that too since it isn't XP.
I think Me is really nice for a late 90s gaming rig. Drivers works, and games run well. 2k I think was the best version of Windows (and NT). It was so simple and easy to use. What came after is harder and more confusing to use I think.
>>54201074
>Not sure why people have such negative opinions of that system.
Because I was in my teens for it's initial release and remember nothing but blue screens. 2k was much more stable. It was so bad, it was what encouraged me to go and look for something else to install on my computer. I went to a brick and mortar and found SuSE Linux being sold (this was probably just before the Novell takeover, so version 7 or 8 I think from memory) and have used Linux since.
I fucking hated Windows ME. Add to that Pentium 4's and their worse performance to Pentium 3 and the subsequent cover ups and kick backs bullshit by Intel and a propensity for the things to cook themselves, I did not enjoy the early 2000s for computing.
Xubuntu on 14.04 on both my laptop and desktop...

does that say that you are a loser hikikomori?
I use Gentoo on my desktop and notebook. I've been playing around with steam in home streaming lately to see if I can easily play GTA Online with a Gentoo client. It works much better than I thought it would.
>>54201171
>subsequent cover ups and kick backs bullshit by Intel
The most jew-tastic bit was them fucking around with benchmarking software so that if it didn't identify itself as an Intel chip, or have certain instruction sets, it borked the performance output to make their chips look better.

Fucking Jews.
>>54201171
I've only used it on Pentium III systems, and it's been pretty stable in my experience (compared to earlier versions of 9x).
Pentium III era chipsets are much better supported by 9x tho.

PC: Linux Mint <--DAILY DRIVER
Laptop: Windows 10
I use Linux as my Main OS. Mint for main laptop, lubuntu/Debian/centOS for some Servers, knoppix live for misc reasons.
Got win7/XP/98 vms for various stuff as well as a laptop with one of it each.
I'm quite happy that I don't need to fuck around with win for work that much since I mostly do freelance stuff for small companies and poor people.
The two primary things I do on my computer is browse the web, which works on Linux as well as on anything else, and work, which in my case I have to do on Linux.

Once you grow out of "muh games", the only reason to use Windows over Linux (or Mac) in any technology related work is if you're developing in C# or running extremely specialized sw like Solidworks.

I'm 23, live in America, work as a software developer, and every computer I use runs Linux and only Linux.
I work as an embedded software developer, and everyone on my team uses Fedora as their primary work OS, only using a windows machine if they need some program that doesn't run on Linux (which is almost never.)
Ever since I've joined, I've been slowly teaching them how to use WINE, and they've been happily switching to a Linux-only work flow.
It may surprise you, but there are a lot of people who have the reverse problem you all have with Linux. On linux everything we need just werks, and almost all the software we use runs better on Linux to the point where we'd be lost if we had to use windows for anything more than web browsing.
>>54199645

Your comment states that using Linux as a main OS is a bad this? you are so damn wrong! I have a split partition on my HDD with two Linux distros as my main operating systems.

All the grown up games work on GNU/Linux now anyway. Like civilzation 5, baldurs gate series, crusader kings 2, europa unversalis 4.. etc. Any game for an adult, like strategy and RPG works on GNU/Linux. I wonder if it's because GNU/Linux users would rather play that kind of game than call of duty or hwatever is popular these days.

I'll second that. I started computerating with Windows 98SE. I 'found' a copy of Windows ME and installed it to find that I could browse the 'Net and listen to music without skipping. In the two years I used it, I had no blue screens and no errors.

If you have a job, you're probably using *nix.
Whenever I'm working on personal stuff, getting intimate with dot files and generally being a geek, I'm on ubuntu.
Currently a web developer ( I'm striving towards computer security, forgive me. couldn't get a job out of school ) So I got a mac book from my employers. Literally only use it to work. It just feels like a pre-configured, prettier, more compatible version of my ubuntu desktop, which I'm still connected to at work 24/7.
My media server is running ubuntu, I couldn't even imagine what a windows server would be like. This media server does exactly as it should.
Plus I have it housed in a cardboard box. Gotta love that.
My desktop has a windows10 partition for my pirated games, and steamOS partition for legit games.
At this point, I only ever use windows to play my cracked skyrim.
