Why are GNU/Linux program and filenames so autistic? Like a text editor called fucking vi. How do people remember the purpose of all these arbitrary combinations of letters?
truuuuuuuuu
honestly, they should name all text editors "notepad" and just use different icons for each
>>53630117
Because Linux is preferred exclusively by morbidly obese, neckbearded, autists living in their parents' basement.

i would switch to Win8 just to get over the 2TB partition limit but cba and the only reason i see to ever switch to Win10 is DX12 wich looks like garbage right now on their universal gaming platform or whatever they call that. honestly theres no point on locking dx12 to win10 other than marketing

Who fucking cares about that shit? It still has a retarded obscure name, the fact that mentally challenged freetards have to write a 500 word essay covering 30 years timespan on why it's called "vi" to justify it doesn't make things better or you smarter. It's dumb.

Man.
I wanted to go back to Windows but now I don't know.
7 is the most customizable but scales like shit and without updates it almost hurts
8.1 is slightly better in terms of performance but it's half locked down and still has the updates issue
10 has the best performance but it's really, really locked down and everything on it gets logged the fuck up

'vim' is vi improved.

'pico' is penis injesting cocksuckers oditer.
>>53631964
this.
my regex in vi is pretty shit but when you need to edit the /etc/whatever file it's always there and works over tty. The chance of Joe Blow, LLC's HP-UX server having Nano or Emacs (let alone functioning X) on it is basically nil.
I Wouldn't call them obscure since they're more designed for command line usage and are a lot more easier to type in and use than normally named programs.
What does suck with Linux is that these commands are not well documented towards the inexperienced.
the help command isn't very helpful or intuitive unlike microsofts command prompt.

This. And I've noticed that Linux is ultimately better. Gaming? Can easily use a gaming distro that likely runs just as good as windows or Wine. Programming? Linux. There's so many variants that there's at least one optimized for what you wanna do. And then stuff like Debian and their split offs like Ubuntu and such for general stuff.
Granted, there's not one universal distro that can compete with Windows at everything, but it doesn't have to. The variety and constant change is what keeps Linux desktops from being virus ridden spyware. Natural selection at its finest.
Windows is what you use when you wanna slack off and just do shit easily and run exes and use automatic installers because you can't be bothered. Linux is what you use when you want to do it right.

As I said it's a simple concept: English speakers mostly choose English names for their software, Spanish speakers mostly choose Spanish, etc.
Names like "Office", "Windows"or "Word" don't make a lot of sense in Spanish, Chinese, French, Italian, etc.

Lemme guess, you think your local variation of Spanish (whichever it is) is the only legit one and all the others are weird or retarded, right?
Can you provide better names in Spanish or a explanation of how are they not representative of the function of the program?
Or are you one of those Anglophiles who takes every chance to put English words in their Spanish sentences and thus thinks only English names sound "right"?

>>53638684
There is no real difference between 8.1 and 10 except the desktop, 8/8.1 is more touchscreen oriented. 8/8.1 and 10 are written from ground up and are faster on a kernel level then 7, you can't argue with that. If you think 8.1 or 7 does not spy on you... On 10 you can do exactly the same as with older versions, turn shit off or use enterprise. Don't see the downside here on 10, why 7 and 8.1 are good but 10 bad.
>>53638713
>written from ground up
What exactly was completely rewritten in the kernel?
> If you think 8.1 or 7 does not spy on you...

Learn how to write, retard. And no, win7 and 8 let you disable error reporting completely, hell it's disabled by default in 7
>turn shit off or use enterprise
You can't delay updates forever even when using enterprise with a wsus server.
>>53630234
Because the 8.1 Is like a whole new system compared to a little service pack that has little bugs and security fixes

These names are dumb because they are hard to remember and unpractical to pronounce. When talking about software,recommendations ofprogram names like "skippy" or "mandrilltext" are generally easier to remember than Linux-like lovecraftian chants like "urzvhqwj-gtk2" or "fsfrn"
