when you install linux but it has worse performance than W7.
Also I just dual boot w7 when I need to, which is almost never.
that is what happen when you install kde or gnome

Shitty old laptop with win7 on it is slow as hell, dual boot with no DE, just i3 + compton, smooth sailing
What are you gonna do in a few short years when win 7 is no longer supported? Its either Linux or windows 10

You must be doing something very wrong.

this, i have a cheap netbook/laptop with ssd, 4 gbs ram, quadcore 1.5ghz running ubuntu with i3. i cant believe is faster than my desktop computer lol
Using Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity on my shitty laptop (NP270E) and it blazing fast, plus the fans rarely even kick in even when using IntelliJ or Matlab.
Arch + Cinnamon boots in ~3 seconds on SSD

No one cares about your text editor performance.

windows is the default OS for anything computer graphics related (games, simulations, 3D engines and software).
>but muh reverse engineered drivers
>>54693051
maybe it's because developers choose to optimize their work for windows than linux? This isn't a flaw with the linux, this is microsoft monopolising the entire market. Linux isn't hard to code for, it also is much more powerful than windows, but developers will still develop for windows because steam users still use windows.

>simulations
for small projects windows may be fine but for big simulations you need a cluster that will be running Linux.
Windows is the default OS for manchildren and computer illiterate, professionals use OSX and/or Linux.

You fucking shills just don't quit do you? It's not like any linux user believes your bs, so Microsoft must be scared shitless people will finally try linux and never go back.

Windows sucksfor EACH in $(find -regex ".*\.\(png\|jpg\|avi\|mp4\)\$" | sed "s:^\.([\s\S]*)$:\1")

when you install windows but it has no usable programs
