More secure.
Ubuntu just works.

the point of steam pushing linux is that microsoft basically owning the pc market because all the games are made for it exclusively is a bad situation for everyone except microsoft.

Nope.
Also, I forgot: more stable.

Well not bad.
Considering SF4 saved pc gaming by making profitable a japanese console port on it and opening the gate for the great comeback of Japanese devs, maybe SFV could help Linux.

I DIDN'T THINK I'D BE ABLE TO SAY THIS RECENTLY, BUT BASE CAPCOM
>>320515821
I wonder if Valve is actively paying developers to bring their games to SteamOS and Linux.
>>320521881
Considering games run up to 50% worse on it with similar hardware. They have to buy support till Vulkan is released and Khronos is being slow as fuck with no ETA for the SDK.
>>320522248
Supposed to come out this year, too.
>>320522503
Vulkan SDK's were supposed to come out last April and they didn't show up. It would be surprising if they even showed up next April.
>>320517852
It's just a different operating system.
It's like asking what's the point of a Tesla when there's Ford.
>>320515821
Damn, nice. I'll try it out.
Pretty sure this is the first AAA Japanese game with Linux support.
>>320521881
Maybe they just give them a higher cut of the profits
>Steam OS
>Games run worse than on Windows 10
>>320517852
because NSA/Windows is fucking shit
Literally the only reason games are on it is its proprietary graphics API
>>320517852
So you don't have to use fucking Windows
why do linux fags even bother posting here when they can't even play games.

If you arent a pirate, its FREE!!!
If you are a pirate, it has no considerable benefits.
Some slight advantages, some slight disadvantages. A few big disadvantages - less software, many games dont run well on it, some hardware doesnt run well on it.
Basically if you switch to Linux for any reason other than to save money, you are making a mistake.
>>320515821
>SFV is exclusive for PS4
Sonyggers actually believes that.
>>320524564
>Basically if you switch to Linux for any reason other than to save money, you are making a mistake.
as a hobbyist programmer, i disagree.
>>320524915
As a professional programmer, I disagree with your disagreement.
Windows actually is better for programming as well, unless you do C.
There is just more software available, and what is available is more stable and runs better.
>>320524564
What if it's just because I like it more.
Granted I haven't "switched", I just use Windows as a "console".
Fucking A.
>>320517852
Windows 7 was just shitty.
Windows 8 GUI caused seizures to the elderly and the young.
Windows 10 spies on you in such a blatant way that they're not even hiding anymore.
Windows 11 will probably request you to hand over your wife to the local petty lord under threat of showing her and your employer your ./prn folder.
Banter aside, switching to Linux is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm glad my ex introduced me to it.
It's more user friendly than people usually think.
>>320525048
>unless you do C
Who uses that meme language anymore, am I right?
>professional programmer
Webdevs aren't programmers, anon
>>320525069
Whats there to like more? Its the same thing, more or less.
Do you mean being able to rice the desktop or what?
>>320525317
>Webdevs aren't programmers, anon
Mate I've written for elevators, wheel chairs and slot machines, and I've done front&backend web apps and fat SQL side scripts, I know my stuff. No reason to use Linux over Windows unless you do C. Leave that shit to the admins, not worth it for a programmer.
>>320525335
Customization is one aspect yes, but also the fact I don't have to restart when there's updates, everything updates at once, the interface is much more fluid and faster (MATE here), and I can install it on practically anything and use it for practically anything. I could run a fucking IRC server off my Wii if I wanted to with it.
I'll do like I did with Steam originally and wait 5 years for Steam OS to mature (or die).
>>320525556

Now there's regular Linux Noob-Friendly threads on /g/. Take advantage of that.

There's a gazillion of distros (variants of the GNU/Linux OS), but if you don't want to overthink it, pick up Linux Mint and call it a day.

I accept your surrender.
>>320525697
You COULD do many things with Linux, thing is you dont. You just use it to browse the web, see a movie, write some text and play vidya. Windows is better at these.
If you are a techie and like to play around, you should be on Linux, thats fine. Just dont pretend to be one if you arent, you'll regret and reinstall in a couple of months.
Why is the Linux/GNU copypasta still considered spam? Are people still that upset over it?

Linux guys, I want something semi-rolling release and is based on Debian
What do?
>>320526802
why not actual Debian?
>>320526261
>You COULD do many things with Linux, thing is you dont.
Nah. I've used it in a lot of my projects. Stuffed a raspi in a GBA, built a MAME cabinet out of my old computer, even built a drone running off of Linux for a university project.
I'd take pictures of the shit if I wasn't atwork.
>>320515821
If Steam OS is ever going to catch on they need to keep doing this sort of thing. They need the support of big AAA releases going forward, with the goal of eventual day-in-date releases of all major new games (except EA, for obvious reasons).
>>320526721

Depends on the game, but Windows has more cawadooty support
>>320524096
I need to rewatch Matrix now that I'm a Linuxfag.
>>320524295
My stoner friend switched to Linux because he had to format anyway.
If he can, I'm sure most of /v/ can as well.He's tried many, many fucking drugs. He doesn't integrate as fast as when he was in highschool
um. directX12 is a hundred times better than opengl...
you DO know that, right??
Linux is good for databases, servers and shit,
just keep the video games away from it.
>>320527246
Direct 3D12 is a rewritten Mantle.
Vulkan is a rewritten Mantle.
Anyone with half a brain knows there is zero real advantage going on ATM and if people weren't retarded, we could have gotten one more thing out of Microshit's firm grasp by now.
>>320526056

>>320526562

>>320528298
>Stop it.
not him but why? sid is exactly what you want, a rolling debian release.
>>320528424
My understanding was that
>>320526802
was a Linux newbie. Recommending a newcomer an Debian Unstable strikes me as inadequate.
Which alternative would you propose?
>>320528818
Yeah, you're probably right. Unstable is usually usable, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who's new on the off chance of something desktop breaking getting through.
If you're somewhat familiar with Linux already though, go for it.
>>320528818
oh, fair enough
>>320529083
Isn't Debian Testing a better middle ground?
>>320526543
I'm not familiar with linux, but Arch is the only linux I've touched. What's memey about it?
>>320531516
I'm not a distro-hopper, so I wouldn't know. It's supposed to be bleeding edge but rather unstable. My guess is most desktop ricers use Arch?
Arch's wiki is top-tier, though.
>>320529424
>>320529083
Wasn't there something annoying wit Testing that you don't get updates during a freeze or something?
I have it installed on a computer but not long enough to have experienced such a freeze period, if it exists.
>>320517852Because as someone who has to code for a living, compiling shit on Linux is a lot easier than the overbloated Windows. Porting to Loonix saves time for those who have to constantly switch OSes
>>320532216
That just means that during the 'freeze' you're temporarily 'Debian Stable', right? Is that of any relevance?
If you have your sources.list with 'Testing' instead of whatever the Debian release name is it's being freezed, you never leave 'Testing'. The old-Testing release freezes, then becomes 'Stable', but yours (Testing) keeps rolling.
Someone correct me, please. I didn't experience major disruptions during the freeze, so I can't say much about that period.
>>320532554
This. If you ever need to do any programming, linux is just such a nice and friendly OS for this. So many tools right at your fingertips, shell and bash scripting are amazing. I love it.
>>320518543
My windows only software is like 80% of my games
>>320515821

I'm fucking hype.
Shame it's a shit game.
I'll wait for Tekken 7 senpai.
What do you guys think about the girls' thickness in the game.
Personally,I unlocked a new fetish.
>>320517852
epic text file combo manipulation man.Also program so advanced you can literally roll your face on the keyboard and it does something

>>320534632
Isn't that Alienware Steam machine qutie a bit cheaper than the same box with Windows?
>>320534632
The value in Windows is hardware driver certs and software compatibility.
Linux simply can't compete in this domain until hardware manufacturers make a concentrated effort to push open source code. A few vendors like AMD seem to be doing this, but in general it'll never work out.
Linux doesn't have piss poor power management because their developers are lazy; its because the hardware people don't open up their devices
>>320535096
Didn't know that. The few machines I saw had versions that came with Windows and an Xbox 360 controller instead of SteamOS/Steam controller for almost the same price.
>>320535628
Hm, just checked. They're sold at the same price. Steam machine comes with a few free games.
I use slackware because I used to play too many games on windows and I was trying to be more productive.
Now I realize I just browse the web more instead. I need to be more productive.

LMDE is based on Debian Stable, which isn't rolling release at all.
LMDE used to be based on Debian Testing, which is semi-rolling release. The "semi-" is because packages are constantly updated until the Debian maintainers call a "freeze". When the freeze happens, Debian Testing is transitioning into Debian Stable so the only package updates that are accepted are security updates.
So that other guy was correct. Sid is truly rolling release because packages are constantly being updated and there isn't a freeze.
I can't think of any other Debian-based distro that's truly rolling release.
>>320523779

I'd still pick Debian Testing over Sid any time.
LMDE if I was new and didn't have a friend to hold my hand.
