Windows users, do you know there are versions of GNU/Linux easy to install, easy to use?

Why are you afraid of the new wave of technological advancement and freedom? What is holding you from switching?

You can even play games, and more are coming to this platform.

Because I don't want to spend 4 months editing config files just to listen to my music

Nope, that is no problem for versions like Ubuntu, Mint and many more.

As 2ch once said in one of your /g/ collages, I care more about games than freedom.

Also, I tried Ubango 16.04 the day after its release. Gnome terminal was a buggy mess, Snappy didn't work at all, and the software update app's UI didn't update after two clicks.
Desktop Linux has always been and always will be a meme.

So you are guided by memes, not using Mint because of a meme, and try to use the not yet developed snappy?

You sir are a living meme.

Biggest problem right now is AMD GPU driver is still shit compared to Nvidia.

switching takes effort and my computer came with windows on it

Porn is more complex than anime though.

What's the point of using Linux when you'll never experience what makes Linux great?

You might as well just use Windows.

You mean you want to visit sites with flash? Yes, you can do that, and safer than WIndows cuz if you dowload a .exe file you won't get viruses.

>>568643
>>568712
Now this is a more common reason. Take a look how the installation is to have an idea of how easy is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R33sFFhgkWk

And installing software? Easier than windows.

You are still implying far too much. They are discovered instantly, but you are ok with implying one case of a bug in Linux makes Windows bugfree.

How about no. And stop implying Linux has viruses, is not Windows.

I have installed Linux before, it took me half an hour and one CD and I have been using that computer for years.

I just never bothered on any other machine.
