Do you use Linux unironically?
How?
Do you use Linux ironically?
How?
I've been using GNU+Linux exclusively for 4 years. It works really well. Specifically Fedora and Ubuntu. Ask me anything.
>>54830996
I either am:
- at work
- out for shopping
- work at home
- play games on my console
Which means PC is only used for work. As it turns out - Linux is great for that.

Man that's pretty hardcore

Go to the wikipedia article for the killing of Tim McLean. It's worse than you think.
>>54830996
yes
by pushing the start button on my computer and performing tasks using applications as I feel the need or want to
>>54831307
>killer didn't get a life sentence because "durr god told me to do it"
America is fucking retarded
How you do work on Linux if you cannot use Microsoft office?
>>54831370
This is canada you stupid faggot
>>54831386
Even worse still, he's now gone free under the new name Will Baker. That's the scariest shit, when it's unprovoked. Dude was just sleeping and then got cannibalized.

That's why you can't operate on the assumption that you can block your senses and become fully vulnerable around people you don't know.
I know what it's like to be fatigued though. I walked 25 miles through temperatures of ~-5F in the course of half a day. I hadn't eaten or slept for two days before that, at this point. When I finally got to the bus stop I began to slip in and out of awareness. The bus came, and I did eventually fall asleep on the ride.
Things can always happen.

Makes moving to a remote location and living in isolation sound more attractive. I don't want to become a statistic.
>>54831307
Damn, no wonder the picture felt so familiar.
i have multiple android devices and live usb boot a shitbox for shitposting
Dual booting at the moment, though to be fair -literally- the only reason I use Linux is because I can make it look better. That is the only reason. Which makes me think I should probably just stop using it.
>>54832302
well then it has a benefit over other things for you, why not use it?
>>54830996
I've got Arch and Gentoo on dual boot
I'm so cash
>>54831382
>his job requires the use of an office suite
>>54832690
Because I don't have access to Windows software the same.
Unless I bother with:
-Using integrated graphics
-GPU passthrough
-Buying extra 8gb of RAM

Newfags don't remember.
>>54831382
what do you mean?
>>54833925
>>54831382
I dont understand anon, im using mainly excel in my job
>>54833966
It appears I don't have this weird libreoffice software :O
>>54833925

>Windows 7 VM
>>54834071
Bingo!
Seamless mode is really nice senpai
>>54830996
web servers and always-on apps. maybe a seedbox if you're a ratio fag
otherwise it's objectively literally cancer
>>54834082
Anyone can run any VM on any major OS.
At the end of the day, your performance within the VM suffers, if only slightly.
I've got a co-worker using some special snowflake Linux distro and he does LITERALLY all of his work in a Windows VM.
If he uses Libre or his linux mail client, he immediately loses all formatting, or it looks like shit on everyone else's (including client's) machines.
>>54834071
Have you actually tried it?
I used it with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign CS6. Unless it was something too big, I was doing just fine. It was like working on a cheap old PC, still better than WINE and real stable.
>>54834128
Yes, I've used VMs for various systems on both Linux and Windows. I've never dicked around with OSX.
You take a performance hit, and personally, I use Windows-only stuff on a daily basis and would not be able to stand that.
I'll switch to Linux when there's perfect native compatibility for Win32 applications.
Win10 has native compatibility for Linux applications now, so...
>>54834125
Lol. I only use the office suite in my vm
I'll be getting a windows laptop from work for mails and office soon
Will still bring my own linux laptop though, most technical work on windows really sucks
>>54834157
>most technical work on windows really sucks
I suppose it depends specifically on what you are doing.
All of our network architects use Windows, so do our tier 3 NOC guys.
>>54834154
You have a very small performance hit if you do GPU passthrough
In any case if you need it so frequently yes, it's not convenient at all. In my case graphic design is a secondary thing, it's not something I have to do every day of the week so I can afford that. In an environment where something is needed at all times, using a virtual machine is stupid even if it runs perfectly.
>>54834154
>Win10 has native compatibility for Linux applications now
I doubt it desu senpai, have you tried it?
>>54834178
Agreed.
My problem is that I spend most of the day in Visual Studio and SSMS, as well as various enterprise apps that only run on Windows, so it basically rules that out for me.
The only thing I'd use daily that I would prefer Linux for is bash and being able to rice out my system.
>>54834193
Pic related, with bash on Win10, just get an X server going and you can run Linux stuff in the Ubuntu userspace.
>>54834221
can you run a full DE in it?
>>54834285
No, the integration is still in beta and is pretty buggy.
Might as well run Linux if you want a full Linux DE.
