Driver support. If I had any faith in freetard devs' promises regarding this I would be a dedicated linuxfag at this point. However, since they really don't seem to care all that much about actual "support", I am stuck on windows.

This thread is about windows which is a /g/ related topic and the reason people use and need windows is for games

Video games are a waste of time, don't get me wrong, but it's not like anything /g/ does is any less of a waste of time.

for example i was trying to config my wm and write a bash script to remove some code from a file (given error line N in file.cc, remove line n-x(grepping for functon definition), then to line N+y grepping for ^} or \n} )

so the shitty part:
use lua to config my wm(ok...)
use Xresources config style to config my term (1980s .ini shit, ugh)
bash uses different quoting styles with ' and ", so "/\{\}" != '/\{\}' w/ sh, (wtf)
use sed programming language for my script to do a regex file replace (1970s ugh)
oh and sed uses a different regex machine than pcre/everything else, (gross)
use awk language (from the 1970s FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK) for my script to do a line by line regex / reverse array regex (back to front)

so i had to learn like 4 20 year old languages just to config my terminal and write a 10 line shell script that would work on other nix boxes

If loonix devs had an ounce of motivation to fulfil their promises, I might use various distros exclusively, but as an artist and game dev, the best applications can only be found on windows with poor alternatives or are only partially supported in WINE.

elaborate. wine and playonlinux are running everything perfectly and I don't even have a dedicated GPU, only Intel Graphics.

I don't know, people seem to think that just because it can use Dx10 .dll's it is somehow acceptable

Linux is not being promoted as a gaming platform yet. It is a substitute for Windows users who don't want to upgrade to 10. It is a more comfortable environment to work and surf the web without unnecessary nonsense of Windows updates and activation.

Many students including myself cannot afford a licensed copy of Windows + Office unless Dreamspark, so it is a good alternative for us and the offices that cannot afford enterprise licenses.

Teriminal is fucking powerful and with ffmpeg I can do so much more than Windows movie maker and whatnot.

when I really think about it, mostly this stupid shit along with the usual meme software, since my *nix DD is Solaris I'm not sure if the Linux client will run on it

while some of the same people I talk to on here are on IRC not all of them are and the ones that do use IRC are harder to get in touch with using it

I use Windows and I don't play games.

Linuxfags hate this point, but Windows actually provides a better command line environment than Linux

Bash is a 30 year old monstrosity straight out of rms's bloated ass, powershell is much newer, modern, extensible and it's object-oriented instead of string based like Bash.

Even cmd is better than bash in some ways, for example to delete all of a certain filetype from a drive you just write del /s *.jpg.

Linux? Its this shit:

find . -name "*.jpg" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f

WTF

And even if you absolutely need Bash, Cygwin is there.

So fuck off, Windows can do Linux's ONLY good thing even better.
