I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering 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!

If you're using linux as your daily driver you're either a retard or a masochist.

I wish ReactOS would be more stable. I wanted to run it in a VM but it can't even consistently get to the desktop without crashing.

I guess it's about time I give it another shot with a new version. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence, though, and I'd like to be able to rely on it not crashing while I'm doing what I want to do with it.

Maybe I should capitulate and dig up an XP iso from my unsorted backups.

I'll think about it once Windows 7 is no longer supported, but I think Linux will still be just as janky as it is now. They've worked on it for decades and it still struggles with some things it really shouldn't.

With linux I have a "cute desktop" and maybe a better file system.

With Windows, I get software compatibility and that's what mostly matters.

Because it has pitiful software support, poor driver support, and there isn't any advantage to doing so unless you have a really low resource machine.

And because Windows 10 with Classic Shell is superior in every respect.
>>
>>54847705
I prefer OS X and OpenBSD. I do run Linux on an SBC, but that's just till NetBSD support matures.
