Nigga I can use themes. That's not even impressive, but it's more than Windows allows. I could change my Window Manager if I wanted.
>No other OS has any of these attributes; everyone gives Windows 10 a lot of stick due to the tinfoil claims of "botnet". Only an idiot would take what they say seriously.
I wouldn't take them seriously if Window's EULA itself didn't say they can look at my personal files for any reason they want.

>>55411103
They just add more fragmentation to the already small communitty. Instead of 15-20 great distros we have 187 amateur projects.

Fairly quick on older machines and it plays well with Broadcom hardware out of the box.
>>55411268
Realistically, there is only ~15 distros users even bother considering. The rest are exclusively trying to solve problems they see apparent, and some of these distros replace some spot in the above noted 15 distros.
>>55411398
And those 15 distros are realistically unpolished, buggy, bad QA, etc. for desktop PCs for the average Joe.
>>55410528
>I wouldn't take them seriously if Window's EULA itself didn't say they can look at my personal files for any reason they want.
False.
>>55411476
Right, but the average joe is exclusively deciding between windows, ubuntu, or mac. Those other distros don't even pop up as an option to them unless they're talking to someone relatively knowledgeable who is suggesting things like mint.
>>55411476
Not all 15 are for the average joe.
Parrot OS replaced Kali in our computer shop because it's made by an actual security firm and not a bunch of volunteers.
We actually distribute elementary OS to the old ladies who have trouble with the power button.
>>55411522
My point is Ubuntu or Mint would be 10 times better if the amount of developers didn'tt waste their time on pointless forks. How many distros are based on debian/ubuntu? 100? So much resources wasted.
>>55411613
How are they wasting their time? It's not up to you or anyone else to decide how those developers spend their time on a free project.
>>55411571
>Using Kali in a computer shop.
Jesus Christ what's wrong with your business? Is the owner an 11 year old H4x3r or something?
>>55411613
Not really. The people who moved away from the likes of Ubuntu/Mint, did so due to differences in views, and now work on other distros. That's the joys of os, they can move freely in their work and not have to force themselves to work on something just because.
Basically everyone wins, devs can work on something that aligns with their views, users can use a distro that aligns with their wants/needs, users don't have to deal with a bunch of crap because devs have completely different visions (a very good and superficial example is the win 8 aesthetics tbqh) and no one is forced to eat shit because they have no alternatives.

This wouldn't be a problem if we lived in a world where 50% of desktop users were Linux users. But with 2% every hand matters. We are still using Xorg in 2016, just saying.
>>55411103
Ive tried them all.. ended up with Fedora
>>55412004
>We are still using Xorg in 2016
We're in the process of moving to wayland in 2016. This whole concept of "force everyone to work on a small number of projects" is what causes stagnation like xorg to occur in the first place.
>>55412004
Xorg isn't bad, it just uses shit like xml configuration.
>>55411971
Takes longer to start Kali, at $65 an hour that matters.
And, I don't give a damn what you think.
>>55412080
Wayland was announced like 6 years ago. The waste of already small resources if what causes stagnation.

Last one is probably the most underappreciated of them all. You can literally install any package from any major distribution and have them work together.

There are a lot of people who has these problems. Get your head out of your own ass and you will see it.
>appealing to novelty is a fallacy
Xorg needs a replacement not only because is old, because the problems are unfixable due to the old code in its core. This code was writen when having a mouse with two buttons was a luxury.
>>55412345
i dunno, maybe you're using it wrong?
if you can't convince me the problems exist, why should i support a xorg replacement with xorg works just fine?
>>55412345
>Xorg needs a replacement
and the replacement is on its way why is this conversation even occurring, is it impatience?
>>55412205

core protocol or whatever is required for adoption has also been finished for like 2 years. The ball is now with the Desktop environments, maintainers, compositor devs etc. https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/ is informative about the KDE transition.
Yeah I tried this, hod sume issues with hardware but overall interesting distro.
>>55412522
https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/06/a-task-manager-for-the-plasma-wayland-session/
Jeez, some of this stuff about how wayland works is just so braindamaged. Ye, it's horrible and stupid in Xorg that any application can look at the keyboard input of any other application and snoop all passwords and everything. But designing the system in such a way that no application can ever see what any other application or the system as a whole is doing is just as retarded. Like, this makes a simple screenshot program impossible. It makes a task manager impossible. I mean, why can't we do fine-grained control of permissions for applications as root with polkit or whatever? Why can't we make it so that there's a /etc/wayland.conf where you can specifiy this? Can the compositor implement that? Clearly it cannot be a solution that one program handles Window Management, providing a task manager, a desktop shell, a global shortcut manager like sxhkd, a screenshot tool and all the other shit.
Also, some stuf this guy suggests in the comments of https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2015/12/gaming-on-linux-move-to-next-generation/ scares the shit out of me.
All of this is just so retarded.
What's the point of something like Solus? It's just gonna have a lot less packages than something based on Ubuntu/Debian.
Can you already run Gnome fully on Wayland?
>>55411504
It isn't false. Take the time to read the EULA or fuck off.
>>55412975
point it out or fud somewhere else
>>55413002
I'm not the poster who first claimed they could look at your photos, but he doesn't have to point anything out to you. The EULA is there for anybody to read. Go take your time to read it like we had to, or don't read it at all. Doesn't matter to me.

It's their own fault. If you literally remove basic features then it doesn't suprise me. The funny thing is that some people actually defend that ("too much options is a bad thing").

You want a tiny 5MB OS for running under containers that still has a really good selection of packages?
>>55410199
Not all the information about Windows 10's spying is false. Windows 10 *does* send more logs, error reports, etc. to Microsoft than previous versions of Windows. Also makes a lot of internet connections to many servers with obscure URLs. Either Microsoft is diversifying their hosting, or they're trying to make it difficult for Windows 10 to phone home.
For example, Microsoft gets statistics about how many photos are viewed with the Photos app. If you have your feedback level set to Full, Microsoft knows how much time you spend in each app.
Solus is probably one of the best distros I've ever used, but god damn I don't want /g/ to ever post about it.
I don't want it to be a meme.

Budgie is awesome, and the distro itself is dedicated solely to x64 desktop usage. No "nigger edition" for sparc users or some shit, just one focus, and the focus is making the desktop experience not shit.
Also the packaging system is fantastic, and super simple. It's very easy to make a package and submit it if it doesn't exist.
