Well, this is the final nail in the coffin for Linux anti-windows faggots who don't know what they're talking about.

Holy shit are you retarded?
You do realize that Windows is the most widely used OS available, right? And as a result it has all the best software made by actual companies with real professional software developers, right?

Literally you don't gain anything from a developer standpoint by switching to Linux. All that happens is you lose all of the best dev tools in favor of shitty horrible freeware alternatives made by hobbyist morons which will ALWAYS pale in comparison to their proprietary cousins on Windows, because of how the markets work.

And then when it comes to actually doing things, Linux takes way too fucking long to set up the tools on. I spent 45 minutes installing Steam to talk to my friends because I apparently needed some 32 bit open gl libraries that weren't downloaded correctly, and then, I had to use shitty, horribly made IDEs for Python development.

Not to mention the fact that you lose access to languages and development opportunities at that, such as .NET, Visual Studio, etc.

Using Linux as your primary desktop OS is just fucking retarded. It's good for servers and laptops. That's it. Only hipster morons who want to talk down to other people use that shit as their primary OS.

Tell me ONE SINGLE THING that you gain by switching to Linux that isn't
>o u hvae more power :D

Like here's the thing: I don't doubt that when properly set up, Linux probably can make development just as easy and good if not better than it is on Windows, but the thing is I don't have TIME to sit here and fuck around endlessly with bullshit. I have work to do.

Look mate, I'm real proud of you. I'm real proud that you spent an hour installing Linux and then 5 days setting up your desktop environment, but in the real world, people don't have time for that shit. They want to actually get work done. That's why Linux is bad for development. That and for the reasons listed here

It's not an argument for why you should use it over Gnu/Linux.

You(or someone else on your side) made the argument that people do not use Gnu/Linux because they work on """"real applications"""" creating """"reals software""""" that "People actually use".

I inquired on which specific software they worked on, and it was discovered that nearly none of it was Windows-exclusive

>I'm real proud that you spent an hour installing Linux and then 5 days setting up your desktop environment

Are you capable of using anything besides strawmen?

it took me 30 minutes to install and 2 minutes to download my scripts and dot files to setup my system as I like it.

>but in the real world, people don't have time for that shit. They want to actually get work done.

Again I just told you it can all be done.

Setting up your system for a few hours, ONCE and then never again does not impede your workflow you lazy retard.

How often do you install a new system? A couple of hours once for every new computer is not going to somehow destroy your productivity.

That is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard in my entire life and it literally proves everything that has been said about the "free software xD" movement completely and utterly right.

As I said, the quality of product will always be better if the product is for sale, as the people designing and marketing said product has to make it the best they can to compete with other software products like it. Money is used as a competition tool. They get money for making the best software in their given fields.

This is exactly why the majority of paid for software is better than their freeware alternatives. Freeware software is almost always made by hobbyist programmers, and is almost always full of security holes and bugs. This is because there is no competition in freeware.

You can swing your dick all over the place and wag it at me all you want how

One of the reason why i use linux is because it requires less mantainance, at least in my own experience. When i put on the scale the pros and cons of windows and linux, linux wins for me, that's all.

Literally you can sell free software, I bought a Debian CD, I bought a service from Ekiga for phone calls, software is software, there is tons of free software that can be better than paid (which free software can be paid too) it is code that gets executed, whether it's distributed free or not does not dictate quality
>>
>>54608305
I was using Debian.
I also tried it on Arch, fucking Kali, I literally tried 3 distros for an entire day each and couldn't fucking get Steam to work at all on any of them.

On Windows, installing software is usually as easy and just running the installer. And then there you go you have it all done and ready to go.

On Linux though, it can't be simple. You have to fucking go and do x to do y, but to do y you need to do z first. It takes like 5 minutes to install something on Linux compared to taking like 1 on Windows. And that's just for a simple program. For larger things it takes alot of fucking retarded work.

It's especially fun when something breaks during the install and then you can't install packages at all.

>On Linux, you are free because you get to do everything that installers do on Windows! Don't you feel free yet?

Is that why the Linux kernel is infinitely more secure than the Windows NT kernel?

Is that why Windows is such a vulnerable piece of garbage and Gnu/Linux desktops have not had many major security issues?


>Paid software is better than free software

You are aware that Redhat for example is professional software developers, making a lot of money, with many years of experience who have worked on tons of free software?

You are aware that many Free software developers are actually professional software developers by trade and have worked in the field for many years and wish to work on their passion and design a project they like for the community? - It being free of cost is irrelevant.

And by the way, I would pay money for my Gnu/Linux distro and all the Programs I have installed if that were the case

It's easy as fuck, at least accept it's your fault, linux doesn't comes installed with most computers and is not teach in schools to people when is young, it's pretty clear you was unwilling to learn and you tried to do everything "the windows way" even if the "linux way" can be more easy if you know how to do it.

>On Windows, installing software is usually as easy and just running the installer. And then there you go you have it all done and ready to go.

It's the same on linux, enabling the 32 bit architecture is literally one google search away in the first result.

>You have to fucking go and do x to do y, but to do y you need to do z first.
Package managers solves most of that things for you from trusted software sources, it's not like you're describing.

>It takes like 5 minutes to install something on Linux compared to taking like 1 on Windows.
Again, on linux you don't even need to open the browser to download and if a dependency was already installed you don't need to download it again. How windows can be faster than that?

>And that's just for a simple program. For larger things it takes alot of fucking retarded work.
In my own experience installing and uninstalling software on linux is more convenient, just try to uninstall multiple programs in windows or install a bunch of programs on windows that comes with different installers, with the package managers you only need to mark the packages you want to install or uninstall and do something else while you wait, everything is automatic in most cases.

>It's especially fun when something breaks during the install and then you can't install packages at all.
This only happens if your installation media was corrupted, most distros offers integrity checks dude.

Alright I've calmed down from my sperglord bullshit now and I'm willing to admit I probably was being straight up stupid with what I was doing on Debian. Near the end though, I became so fucking desperate to get shit to work I just started doing everything I could find. I tried enabling the 32 bit architecture too with the command but it still wouldn't work. Linux just isn't for me.

Linux isn't for people who just want to get work done, or spend their time using their software. It's for people who want to spend their time on the actual OS itself, rather than software.

I really like going into desktop threads and seeing all the cool looking Arch Linux things and stuff, and the awesome looking GUIs they have going and I feel jealous of it, but now I just envy them for having the strength and endurance to go through all the pain and misery involved in constructing such a robust looking setup.

You can rice your Windows desktop if you want, there even used to be third party apps to take the UI modding to more extreme levels.

I don't even bother changing default colours, just set a bg pic, and get to doing stuff I need to do, whether it's Photoshop or otherwise.

I switched completely in 1993 and never went back. In 1993, it wasn't even a contest. Windows was complete shit compared to Linux. Anyone remember Trumpet WinSock? All that bullshit and you could still get a GD virus, even on Usenet.

I do use Windows for a few things - in a virtual - but that list is getting shorter. Office 365 runs in a browser, so that leaves Visio and Skype/Business (sometimes).

Use whatever you like to use. I like to use Linux.

I've been thinking of doing this, but then I thought

1. I would need good amounts of RAM. I would have to buy another 8gb stick most definitely
2. Takes an absurd amount of time to set up considering that I'm not exactly the kind of person to stick with one system for more than two months nowadays
3. Intel graphics. Yeah, if I have to fire up that VM thing whenever I want to watch a fucking movie, I might not love it so much. I'm not so sure though about performance, I haven't tried my HD 4600 much. From what I know it's pretty ok with something like Unity but somehow Gnome is kinda slow on it.
4. While my monitor supports multiple inputs (so I could plug my iGPU to 1 HDMI port and my GPU to 1 DP port) I don't even know how the whole thing would work with just one keyboard and one mouse.
5. Sure, with lots of RAM there'd be no issue, with 2 GPUs you have near native performance, but what about the CPU? I always wondered about this specifically. Some current games are a bit CPU heavy.

1. RAM shouldn't be that much of a problem, obviously the VM will take up some RAM, but it's not like games are that dependent on it.
3. You can technically take away the second GPU from the VM after you're done using it. The only problem this would cause is that X can't into dynamic GPUs, so you will have to restart it. Oh, and you will also have to write/find a bash script, shouldn't be much of a problem.
4. From my experience with virtual machines, this setup should be perfectly workable with one monitor, one keyboard and one mouse. At the very worst with hacks, most likely with no problem at all.
5. CPU latencies should be low with any setup that is not completely retarded since most of CPU instructions will just be handled by the actual hardware, thanks to hardware virtualisation support by CPU manufacturers.
The only thing that could even be a problem is processor time, but Linux is really efficient with its CPU use anyway, and a system that is doing nothing intensive shouldn't take up that much. Unless you're planning to compile while playing in a VM, it shouldn't be a problem.
6. You need VT-d or AMD-Vi features for your CPU for this setup to work. I hope you have one of these, or you're shit out of luck.
