Their ignorance and complete lack of self awareness is what makes them windows users.
I mean, coming onto a technology forum and posting about Windows, asking for tips...holy shit.

Linux is just shit for a desktop os
it's good for niche purposes though
>>53550530
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.
>>53548991
Yup they are, i dont blame them for being ignorant but the sad part is we cant even argue with them or explain to them why they're wrong because they have no idea what they're even missing out on by using windows and not a linux distro
>>53548991
No, the Linux users are because you can't use anything that isn't FOSS otherwise their defense force comes in and shit's up the thread with their irrelevant bullshit.

Yes. They come from /v/.
Even after all these years, "muh games" is still a valid argument. If you enjoy using your computer to play video games, even on an occasional or casual basis, Linux isn't for you.
Not sure what's difficult to understand. GNU/Linux holds no practical superiority to Windows. Maybe OSX, but not Windows.
>>53550665
>play video games

windows kids, everyone!
>>53550665
Yu fuckin tard...
>>53550675
The second point can actually stand on its own, completely disregarding video games.
Even separate from "muh games," there still exists no real reason for anyone to use Linux as their go-to OS, unless you're specifically drawn to the idea of spending hours making everything work by yourself.

But honestly, no one is "missing out on" anything if they have no reason to care about it. I'm not "missing out" on Buddhism just because I'm not a Buddhist, it just means I've done my research and found it to be load of horse shit (or, to state more friendly, it's just not my cup of tea).

Wrong
All of them are files on the filesystem
>>53550764

Both wrong. The video output is a device located in /dev/, and tcp connections socket files (they even show up via lsof -i)

In the context of an operating system (which is what we're discussing) they are.

>a file descriptor isn't a file

If you're referring to the definition of a file where it must be persistent, then you've mistaken the subject of this discussion.
>>53550929
>They're not. They're identified by file descriptors. No, they're not the same thing either.
A file means a stream of bytes presented as a file in the filesystem, not a file in the traditional sense
I wish people would stop spreading this oversimplified misconception
>>53550125
nice argument, too bad it's complete bullshit. I'm a sysadmin who prefers windows because i'm not a hobbyist who wants to fuck around with distros on my own time. also, because linux belongs on servers and embedded systems and nowhere else.
stay mad tho, fags, i'll go cash my paycheck.
Don't forget to add "muh jobs" to that pic OP,
because you know, Windows constitutes the vast majority of all jobs.
>>53550125
No, what you're describing is more comparable to someone walking into Baldur's Lair to spectate a Magic the Gathering tournament and talking about mobile games like Flappy Bird and Farmville.
Both are equally pathetic and laughable groups of people, that choose to be defined by their interests.

Which TCP connection and video cards aren't. Just like a shitload of other things.
Please, just read up on plan9 if you want to understand what "everything is a file" actually means. You'll also find out why it would be dogshit slow if everything in Linux were a file.

You just said that they're presented as a file descriptor in your last post.
>>53551107
>tfw you "cp" a tcp connection
You can access a tcp connection just like any other file. Reading the data for the purpose of copying is indeed possible.
>tfw you "mv" a window from one xserver to another
X windows and contexts aren't files, but you can have them drawn by a different X server.
>>53551171
That wasn't exactly my point. We don't have to talk about video games on here.
It's just the mentality of some retards on here that people who play video games are automatically manchildren who have never grown up.
If they have to restrict themselves from playing video games, that's fine with me, but that doesn't mean everyone has to do it to be a functioning part of society.
It really says more about them than about people who enjoy video games.

>I'll repeat it for you, because you seem distinctively slow: "file descriptor" != "file in the filesystem".
Accessing something through a file descriptor meets the UNIX/Linux definition of a file. This is the definition in use as we're talking about Linux (not Plan 9).
>Not with "cp".
cp is specific program that doesn't have the capability to do this.
>So, not everything is a file?

Furthermore, it's pretty much possible to play all games, inclusive current, so called "AAA+" games on GNU/Linux. All you need is a VM with passthrough in a sandbox.

I'm not backpedaling, it's scenario dependent at this point.
If the socket file is publicly exposed in the filesystem (filepath), then cp can read it. If it's not, then it can't. This doesn't mean that sockets not publicly exposed can't be read as files, just that cp can't do it.

Do you people realize how pathetic you are? Btw, using videogames is a PERFECTLY GOOD REASON to be using Windows. Believe it or not. Wine only works on a small minority of games. There ARE legit reasons to use Windows and there ARE legit reasons to use Linux. I personally love linux, but if I want to play games: fuck that shit, I'm booting into Windows.

Is Windows the greatest OS? No, there is no great OS, there is only a limited choice of OSes, most of which are bad, some of which are usable.

Yep, without a doubt.

>not liking linex == gaymer
>freetard logic
So your brain only works on dichotomies, linux/nonlinux, nongamer/gamer, right? Must be hard being so densely smart.
>>53553871
why would you use windows if ur not a gamer????
>>53553871
>the extent of my understanding
>I'm a gaymer tho so don't expect much
>>53553888
What else can I use that can work with most commercial-grade software?
Why would I use linux if I'm not a freetard?
Why would I use os x if I'm not gay?
When did shitposts on /g/ become as abundant as shitposts on /b/? Do you really have nothing better to talk about than how much you dislike someone for not using the OS you like? This shit is stale.
>>53553776
I love Linux, but whoever calls themselves "the Linux gamer" is a pretentious shill
>>53553976
remember how bad the browser wars were a year or 2 ago.
This is roughly the same

he makes good videos about games available for linux, i don't see the problem
>>53554023
Okay? I know what games are available for Linux, Steam does that for me. This guy serves no other purpose other than to paste his channel in an argument.
>>53554003
>more than 80% of desktop PC users have windows
>they must be all gamers
That includes corporations and most normies, are you aware that most of them don't even game? How self-deluded can you be...
>>53553934
>work with most commercial-grade software
Why would infect your system with malware and virus that comes with most commercial software cracks?
I use Windows 10 and don't even play video games.

Even more retarded than using it because you play games.

Well, considering that 50% of PC users are below average by definition, I guess 30% being kid gaymers sounds about right.
>>53554174
Yeah, probably lots of Indians worked at Adobe. And probably lots of Russians, Romanians too. But you can continue being proud of using linux as your major achievement in life, compared to those who actually wrote professional software.
It's "diversity" which made Photoshop write itself, you know. Not actual talented C++ programmers from very different ethnic backgrounds. But hey, your C fizzbuzz is unparalleled, right? As are your linex ricing skills.
>>53554064
did you get upset because i posted actual information about the topic?
>>53552162
>Btw, using videogames is a PERFECTLY GOOD REASON to be using Windows.
Yes, this is why Linux needs more games.

What does this have to do with Jonathan Wendel?
Can anyone back me up with a source?
>>53548991
I actually about a 20% FPS increase on Linux compared to Windows in native games, so muh games doesn't really work either.
>>53559038
>having to perform simple tasks that anyone who isn't a moron can do is akin to using a broken, undeveloped OS
Why do Wintards exaggerate everything?
>>53548991
Are people who make non-tech related threads the cancer of /g/?
>>53559473
You talking bout Xonotic?
Cause I still lose a few FPS (nothing to even worry about though) on linux compared to Windows on source games for instance. Witcher 2 is unplayable. Most indie games perform exactly the same. I'd genuinely like to see something on steam running better on linux than windows.
>>53559630
I get more FPS in CSGO on GNU/Linux than I ever did on Winshit.

Which hardware? Might be relevant.

Any retard shilling their os windows or linux is cancer. Honestly, why can't actual technology be discussed.

That might be it. I'm using an AMD GPU.

Blame AMD (to be fair, they are working on it, and in a better way than NVIDIA).
The cancer of /g/ are shills in general, sadly, linux /g/ users tend to be the most cancerous

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

Sorry, but you're a retard if you actually believe windows users have done LESS cancerous shitposting than linux users. Either that or it's you're first day here, and this is your first linux vs windows thread.

We're supposed to be finding the optimal places to make a multi-million dollar perforation in search of oil reserves. At least, that's what most people go on to do.
What a meme, amirite?
>>53552438
Ahh yes, very impressive. You can spend 12 hours a day watching anime but apparently only games are for children? Fuck off
>>53561844
where do you go?
>>53561844
Yeah well many in the academia use all sorts of OSes and devices for research purposes. The most common laptop among students is MBP. Recently, apparently Chromebooks are making inroads in the academia too. This is based on statistics, not what some guy from CERN happens to use, just because he's a physics major or math major and likes to tinker with hobbyist software.
And yeah many companies use linux for different reasons, the most commong being that it costs nothing, and as long as they can hire a neckbeard to automate some shit on it, they don't care it doesn't have photoshop or a developed UI. Most of the staff don't have to work with it, so they just leave it to the neckbeard to deal with it.
If there was another OS that was free, they would use that one and hire anothe neckbeard who knew how to tinker with it.
>>53552162
>games
>legitimate reason
winbabbies are unredeemable
linux users are like niggers. they are numerically a minority but are louder, more obnoxious and cause more problems than every other os user, all while demanding more rights and shifting blame on the majority

I work in the infosec field, have done driver development, low-level development, reverse engineering - all on windows and linux distros, yet I still use a linux distro on my laptop.
no go back to your gay puppet server and brag about your winfaggotry.
If game companies stop preferentially supporting nvidia only on Linux, then I might go back. But having most of my games not work because "lol you forgot to install an nvidia card!" just makes me angry. The games with support across the board work great, though.

OK. OK. What is a socket? Do I use them while I crunch excel spreadsheets during my workday? I don't want to be missing out on superior sockets!
I come to /g/ looking for interesting technology discussions and all I find is OS shitflinging. Linux users shit up the place just as much if not more than Windows users do. Eg. Fucking desktop threads. FUCK OFF. How about some threads on actual emerging tech? The whole fucking board is cancer. 4chan seriously needs an /os/ containment board.

Nice job putting ALL windows users under the same thing.
There are people who use Windows just because it works better for them. Not because of gaming.
>>53550125
Are you comparing /g/ to a nascar pit crew?
Really, I'm fine on Windows so long as I can install msys and use a toolchain that works basically the same way, if not the same exact toolchain just using the Windows build.
>>53565951
>it works better for them
Literally and figuratively nobody uses windows because it just werks™. Most people use it because it came with their computers and "professionals" use it because they can't handle imagemagick and ffmpeg. Also /g/ is very knowledgeable.
>>53551024
>I'm a sysadmin who prefers windows because i'm not a hobbyist who wants to fuck around with distros on my own time.

Windows user here, I've dabbled in Linux when I was like 15 but want to start learning more, where should I start what should I even do?! I'm not afraid of a difficult OS or something.
>>53566466

Just so you don't die of frustration, you're gonna want to install xorg.
>>53566488
what the fuck are you doing
do you want to scare him away?
>>53566520
He said he wasn't afraid. Arch isn't even difficult either. Actually I'd say it's even easier than most distros because of the AUR which means you rarely have to install anything yourself.
>>53566533
I was seriously thinking of buying a cheap Chromebook or something just to use Linux on but I'm not sure what I'd use it for, really just a personal project I guess
>>53566466
Same here.
I've used lubuntu, opensuse and crunchbang for a day or so each, but always returned back to Windows.
I'm considering installing a Linux distro on my old laptop, which one do I pick?
>>53566544
I have a Toshiba Chromebook 2 that I removed Chrome OS and installed ElementaryOS on, and it's quite an awesome little machine for the price.
satanget
>>53566551
first check how linux manages power on that thing.
wanted to install linux on an old laptop, the fan runs near max all the time. it's as quiet as you can expect in win 10 though.
>>53559038
That's the whole problem you silly. Everything is off and yet Windows still manages to cop your data.
