Who here freedom masterrace?
What system have you set up?
Software you use daily?
Little things you cant live without?
>>25261546
Redpill me on why Linux is "anti-viral" please.
Concisely if possible.
>>25261546
/ArchLinux/ MasteRace reporting in.
other than that, enjoy your NSA backdoors,
windaube pleb. :)
>>25261571
cause no one uses it so no one develops virus for that. also you usually download software from clean repositories
>>25261571

nope.
windows before, ubuntu now. but I don't see that freedom anywhere.
why? i want to play video games.
>>25261804
Running and managing a linux machine is a fun hobby.
>>25261835

but i want to play video games and use my computer to do stuff with it.
>>25261571
Because it so easy to scan for them. If you simply type in "sudo rm -rf /" into the terminal, then it'll automatically cleanse your system of viruses.
I live in a civilized country that doesn't spy on its own people at every possible occasion.

I do web development so I use various linux VMs as development environments.
Otherwise I just use windows to play vidya games.
n00b here.
Mint or Arch?
>>25261978
Fedora. because it describes the kind of person who uses linux
>>25261963
cause I can.
>>25261978
xubuntu
ubuntu without the crap
I AM FUCKING satan!!

I remember when I used to use Linux
Then I grew up and got a Mac.

It gets old really fast. I ran Arch on everything I owned from like 2006 - 2012 or so. They kept breaking shit with these totally arbitrary sweeping changes, so you'd have to like, set a night aside before you could pacman -Syu, so you could adjust for whatever random thing ArchGodX decided he didn't like while sitting on the toilet. Linux is chaos at the whim of mega-autists who mostly hate their users. It's a pain in the ass. (And yes I know there are "stable" alternatives, which is code for, "old as fuck," and therefore come with their own pile of ass pains.)
IIRC the final straw for me was then they moved /var/lib to /usr/lib or something like that, for no fucking reason. Updating was a huge cock punch, and even after I got it to complete, it broke everything that was dependent on 32-bit libraries (which shouldn't even be a thing anyway). So there went more hours of my life.
Closed source, stable OS developed by professional developers backed by lots of money > chaotic pile of ancient spaghetti and duct tape, maintained by hobbyists who make random changes and abandon their projects.
Why not just use OSX? Isn't that a 'best of both worlds' scenario?

you just summed up everything I've ever wanted to say about Linux, from a much loftier and more competent perspective than I would ever be capable of
jesus that was cathartic to read

Robust permission system. On Windows, viewing a file and executing its contents are the same thing. On Linux, you have to specifically give files permission to execute, so it's not likely to happen accidentally.
Also, the user system was designed to give individual accounts minimal privileges to access sensitive shit (this is inherited from Unix systems at universities in the 70s). This is in contrast to Windows, which began as single user systems and had multiuser stuff bolted on later.
Linux also stores your password in a way that's actually secure, rather than Windows's backwards compatible nightmare.
And also most people don't use Linux. When they do use it, it's for a server, so vulnerabilities and virus potential are a whole different story if you have externally listening services like webservers. For a personal PC you'll be safe.
>>25262338 Oh, and this >>25261591 is also a big factor. Instead of looking for dodgy adware-ridden installers for programs you need online as you would with Windows, you can find most everything you need in official repositories.
It's a little like all your software comes from Steam: no installers and no bundled spyware.
>tfw no gf
>mfw Gnu/Linux installed
>>25262350
The convenience of "sudo apt-get install <whatever I want>" is balanced by those times when you have to compile shit from source.
>>25262274
I gave up on desktop Linux and I completely agree.
>>25262218
Still an anal virgin. Besides, I'm the top.
I turn in my PC, open steam, open esea client, open CS go that's all i do, sometimes i even play a pug. I can't do that in Linux so fuck it

You use a Mac?
What distro did you use before? I used Gentoo.
>>25262012

nice try, NSA. you want me to reveal what I use that box for, and I'll have none of it.
it was installed using architect, so it was super easy. maintenance is super easy.
suck a dildo and I might give you more attention.

well I'm masturbating right now if that's what you're asking
>>25261571
Linux is inherently and intended to be viral in order to be free. Look up GPL
So in short, Linux IS a virus. But it's a beneficial virus.
I used Ubuntu/Kubuntu at work, I use Ubuntu/Mint/Xubuntu in VMs when working on personal projects.
I've used some "cloud" ubuntu variant in the past on my netbook, and puppy when booting from a usb on otherwise locked systems.
I use gui-less VMs occasionally just to connect to them from windows and get a linux command line.
I frequently do some configuring for whatever development task I'm doing, but I'm still not entirely comfortable doing anything wihtout googling.
I hope to get a free mac when I get a job, and see how OS X is.
>>25263237
What are you masturbating to?
>>25263261
You being an idiot.
>>25263269
naked pics of ur mom
>>25261867
Can confirm, this is an effective anti-viral strategy
>>25263290
that was also an NSA joke for the slow members of our audience
