Name even ONE reason I shouldn't kill myself right now.
>>55067549
Has /g/ always been this retarded? Nobody even knows what the fuck a botnet even is, and they repeatedly apply the definition to the wrong shit.
Can one person give a concise definition of what a Botnet is?
>>55067565
you're a botnet
>>55067549
Because

It's pretty sweet.
>>55067549
Good point. Just die.
>>55067549
>only usable versions of Linux are botnet
Proof?
>>55067565
Spyware.
>>55067602
There isn't any. The people who say this are retarded shitposters who know nothing.
>>55067565
>Hey, come join the botnet! It's really nice over here!
I don't think so.
>>55067579
>Linux finally just werks
Then why won't my computer shut down when I'm using proprietary nvidia drivers?
>>55067605
I can't tell if you're just fucking with me or not, but I think this helps me track people's retarded thinking:
"Botnet bad thing that is on your computer. Make computer do bad things for benefit of other."
"Spyware bad things that is on your computer. Spy on you for benefit of other."
"Browser or OS tracking you is a form of Spyware."
"Thus browser or OS tracking you are Botnets."
If this is the linking that has lead to the retarded Botnet meme, then I don't know what to even say.
>>55067624
Because you're a dumbass who doesn't know how to shut off his computer.
>>55067788
Yes because clicking on shutdown is totally not supposed to work right?
>>55067565
nice try CIA
>>55067638
No, it originally came about because /g/ has always considered gathering telemetry a botnet. Or, a company providing useful services based on your data.
So why is windows 10 bad exactly? I can never get a solid answer to this question
>>55067549
>only usable versions of linux are botnet
Trisquel user here. You're full of shit.
You don't have the balls.
>>55067624
Okay I got the fix for that anon open your terminal and type this in:sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root
It'll fix the issue.
>>55069369
Why do you add flag to not preserve root when nothing even happens to it?
>>55069392
Because root gets re-written when you reboot, but if you add this it applies the fix so when you boot back up the fix is still there.
>>55067549
Windows 10 & 8, 8.1 & 7 are all spyware not part a botnet.. mostly.
Windows 10 does do p2p windows updates so I guess Kind of a botnet but thats it.
And 90% of linux distros are not botnet /spyware
install gentoo /thread
>>55067549

You don't know English.

That can go wrong?
testing firefox in linux on windows. ignore post.

Your days are numbered before the next time you're unable to resolve a dependency.
>>55067605
That's literally not what a botnet is. Why don't you just say spyware?
My Canon printer has fully functional drivers for Android, but not for Linux. I am not kidding. Yesterday, I had to print a document, and I was between wiping my Windows partition and reinstalling Windows. It was urgent and I didn't manage to make my printer work on Ubuntu. In the end, I took a chance with their proprietary printer app for Android and it worked instantly.
Android has better hardware support than Linux.
>>55069761
Do you not realize that Android's kernel is Linux?
>>55067624
becauses you're using proprietary nvidia drivers
>>55069785
NO. Reeeeally? Well that's fantastic news, anon! Let me just plop Canon's proprietary printer app into my Ubuntu and fire up my printer! I'm sure that's gonna work like magic. After all, they have the same kernel, so it's exactly the same fucking thing.
Moron.
>>55069806
Have you ever tried running anything that uses 3D with nouveau drivers?
>>55069829
Then why are you comparing the two, moron?
>>55069843
I have and it works fine
>>55069849
>being this dense
The only appropriate response at this point is to rewrite my initial post, so I'm just gonna tell you to read it again instead: >>55069761
Here is the summary of what you should have taken away from it:
PRINTER PRINT ON ANDROID
PRINTER NO PRINT ON LINUX.
That they have the same kernel is irrelevant.
>>55069878
They don't "have the same kernel". Linux IS the kernel.
>>55069888
So you're just annoying me about semantics because of your autism? Could you just please do this board a favor and go stand in the middle of a runway?
>>55069878
If printer printed with Android, it logically follows that printer printed with Linux.
>>55069919
Yeah but no. A printer "driver" on android is an Android application, not a kernel module.
>>55069683
Oh c'mon goy!
Who would even try to disable these critical security updates? Take off that tinfoil hat, you fool, we don't need your silly bitcoins and shit, just trust us!
>>55069949
Shows how much you know.
>>55069645
1. You and every other user at the same time, because you're not a special snowflake.
2. That probably wouldn't fly with the community once it's been found out.
3. About half the distros are RHEL-based if you want to stick to open source software so that what you run is community moderated. Otherwise, there's a price to pay for proprietary. There's no way around it.
>>55069982
Okay genius, tell me how you use printer software released for Android to use a printer on GNU/Linux.
>>55070025
Why don't you just look at the source code of the application to see how it loads the driver?
>>55070006
>1. You and every other user at the same time, because you're not a special snowflake.
>2. That probably wouldn't fly with the community once it's been found out.
Same with win10 botnet, community moderated by Microsoft top professionals and billions of satisfied users worldwide. Nothing to hide nothing to fear.
>>55070185
>nothing to hide nothing to fear
Literally retarded, just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean I want some retards looking around.
So if you now have nothing to hide, it's fine that I go through your entire computer and house? Right?
>>55067565
Maybe you should pay more attention to your homework, Pajeet.
>>55067565
Agreed, nobody here seems to know what a botnet is. It's a group of computers or "bots" controlled by another computer, generally maliciously through malware to do tasks like DDoS, bitcoin mining or malware spreading
>>55067579
>Windows has finally a UI that doesn't look like FisherPrice TY
But thats wrong anon it's shit, you can't even use alt+"KeyHere" to do stuff it's straight out of shitty touch fisher price OS
>>55067596
You are by far the worst tripfag we had here. Even worse than Nigba.
>>55069369
it worked like a charm, i had the same problem
>>55067624
proprietary things is haraam

because if you kill yourself you will DIE!

Windows 7
>>55067549
Actually, gentoo is the only usable GNU distro, and it's not botnet. Just try to install ubuntu. Protip: you won't even be able to do that, that's how unusable ubuntu has become.
>>55067549

I can't think of a single reason desu
Do it

No thanks, I'd rather have my system intact.
>>55076220
Why would the "ready machine" command cause any issue?
>>55067549
freebsd
>>55067549
You should, you seem to think that people are interested in what OS you use or whether or not your paranoid delusions are real.
Protip: Nobody cares, kys lol
>>55076062
I'm pretty sure I'd be capable of installing ubuntu
>>55076382
>memebrokenSD
>>55067549
systemd-less distros are pretty usable mate
>>55076404
Try it. The installer will crash every 0.5 seconds, preventing you from successfully installing it.

>In his Q&A to his keynote address at the World Hosting Days Global 2014 conference in April, the world’s largest hosting and cloud event, Julian Assange discussed encryption technology in the context of hosting systems. He discussed the cypherpunk credo of how encryption can level the playing field between powerful governments and people, and about 20 minutes into his address, he discussed how UNIX-like systems like Debian (which he mentioned by name) are engineered by nation-states with backdoors which are easily introduced as ‘bugs’, and how the Linux system depends on thousands of packages and libraries that may be compromised.

Assange? More like asshat.
