It's not a meme you can(should) use a Linux distro as your main OS.
It's 2016 Ubuntu has developed to be a desktop os and you cannot deny it.
I have made the change from Windows to ubuntu recently. I only miss Visual Studio but I run it inside a Win7 virtual machine.
Gaymen are also able to survive now. If you have the hardware you could even do VGA passthrough.

I have been using GNU/Linux as my main OS for a couple of years now. It has everything I need for programming, watching anime, and even playing several games I enjoy.
>>54702900
It is getting more support as well. It will be the year of linux soon.

Also your Mumbai machine will be wiped out soon. :)
>>54702950
so what did you gain from switching? you only lost functionality. You just wanted to feel like a special little snowflake and fell for the Linux as a desktop OS meme, congrats inbred, off yourself
>>54702359
Hahaha, are you hungry m8?
Aye. Linux is all I'll run on my laptops.
>>54702979
I didn't lose anything. Just switched sides. :)

What is this thread about?
>>54703198
Food and eating in general.
I would use Ubuntu if had a CPU that supported vt-d
How seamless is the hardware pass through virtualization anyways? Can I have Ubuntu running on one monitor and Windows guest on another? Can the guest run in a window like Virtualbox? Finally, can I use my iGPU for desktop acceleration on Ubuntu while my guest uses the NVIDIA card?
>>54703269
Yes to all of that.

Is there a way to make Unity not look like total dogshit?
>>54703453
Stop using Unity and install Plasma 5.
>>54703466
I am actually using KDE Plasma right now actually
But every now and then you see people with a nicely riced unity, was just curious as to what they used
>>54703522
Ah, I wouldn't know. seems like a wasted effort to polish a turd.
>>54703522
Isn't KDE had that problem where the videos always desynchronized?
>>54703645
I haven't got such a problem. I'm using mpv if it matters.
How would Ubuntu work on my system
Dell Optiplex 7010

I still want to be able to play a few games like Civ5, and Fallout 4.
Software that I use
Paint.net
Photoshop CS6
Steam
Skype
Chrome
Only reason why I havent switched to Linux is because I don't want to lose the ability to get any piece of software that I want.

What do you mean how would it work? It's more lightweight than windows
But if you're into gaming and need stuff like photoshop, you could just dual boot. But since you seem to use a lot of proprietary software anyway, may I ask what you hope to get out of linux that you wouldn't from windows?
>>54704866
Or use a virtual machine. If you have the harrdware you could even play a game inside it.
>>54704532

How would it work because of drivers is what I ment.
And what?
I use Kali. Go ahead, laugh at me. I'm enjoying muh million tools and cozy stability.
>>54707033
>I use Kali

Linux is comfy as fuck. It hurts to use Windows
>>54703692
You could run ubuntu on a toaster and still get decent performance.
>>54707033
no ddos me pls mr hackar
>>54707033
>>54707033
But kali tools can be downlaoded separately?
Installing an entire os for Kali tools is outright skiddie tier
I mainly use GNOME at home and in our family computer.
I still reserve a desktop workhorse for OSX, but its for video and photo editing exclusively.
My kids are growing up using LibreOffice an what not. The skills are transferable, they can also navigate Windows and Apple systems with ease.
I can use adobe cs5 master collection perfectly through a virtual machine, but
My GPU is also shit on linux. So initially I was like "hey, if I lose games whatever, it's not like I play more than shitty emulator games and those work on linux". Issue is, I have a GCN 1.0 AMD GPU. So even on desktop I'm going to suffer.

A daily reminder that while autists "rice" their "arch" "rigs" (until X doesn't start lol), engineers do cutting edge robotics research using Ubuntu:

>>54709019
No you stupid nigger, you can actually get a transparent taskbar by making a simple modification in the registry.
"3rd party shitware" sounds pretty ironic since Linux is made of such shitware.
Also point a single flaw in classic shell.
Protip: you can't

God, that looks awful.
That shitty shiny overlay on the dock icons look cheap and tacky, and really clash with that awful half-assed matte Window theme that the free software community is obsessed with for some reason, even though it ends up making their shit look like cheap pajeetware.
I wish the GNU/Linux ecosystem stayed in the hands of ex-Unix users instead of being taken over by XP/Vista migrants and edgy teenage "coders"

You should be using OpenSUSE then.

Best choices

>>54708900

>>54709369
I bet 50% of the games you have on steam run dx9 or have native linux ports, and dx9 games can be run with no performance loss on linux

Gnome is the best desktop ever. And the default packages and stuff are so useful, gnome saved me when I was trying to get my network card working on my laptop.

Unity is the ugliest fucking desktop ever. Mac OSX Snow Leopard is nicer looking.

Linux is a pain in teh fucking ass. If all you do is run a really simple, extremely common hardware configuration then it's *livable*. Otherwise, it's a nightmare. If that's the way things are going to be, then I'd just as soon run Mac OS.
Linux is a great desktop OS inside of a VM. It's a lousy primary desktop OS.
