You don't "try out" Leenux.

You spend at least a year learning about it, what distro suits you, how to solve problems once they arise.

If you "try it out", you will run into problem, and it will be all your fault.

Maybe you should have researched the fact that literally no one uses fedora
Ubuntu just werks

Fedora is OK. The problem is GNOME. Swap that out for a decent DE (which isn't hard to do) and it's a fine distro.

Which is pretty much the same as Ubuntu.

Former Winfag here

I really do not appreciate the amount of personal data being sent back to Microsoft. Windows 10 is slow, bloated and updates are forced upon you. Restarts are sometimes mandatory and system freezes very frequently. Windows 10 has taken the last shred of freedom from me as a user.
Microsoft is dropping support for older windows and only windows 10 is the future.
Windows is far more vulnerable to malwares than OSX or Linux. It is not free from BSoD or random system crashes either. Updating softwares in windows is very inconvenient unless you turned the automatic updates on for each applications. On that case, applications start multiple instances of update and licence checker which ultimately slows down performance.

Uninstalling softwares leave residue files and people have to use "cleaner apps" like REVO or CCLeaner or IOBit ASC or some other things. I am not talking about config files, I am talking about blank directories, logs, user data and registry values. All those cleaning apps are constantly showing their advertisement in your pc and this is very annoying.

I would use OSX but I don't appreciate Mac's philosophy of "Buy our products only".

GNU/Linux, on the other hand, is much more flexible and gives you an overwhelming array of choices. If GNOME freezes on you you could easily replace it with Cinnamon or Mate.
I admit some of the softwares are not free of glitches but on the other hand I can do my things pretty easily without having to pay loads of cash for them.

Terminal is actually easy to use. I tried going back to windows and had to open edge, search for chrome, download, open and installed chrome only to realise how easy and time saving it would be to use a terminal command for all this.
To be honest it really comes down to what you are doing with your computer.
I guess Linux is just not (yet) for those who do content creation or gaming .
/blog

I never understood where these people who have problems getting linux working run into issues. I remember having to deal with this type of shit back in like, '08 or so, but I honestly haven't had any problems getting a linux install working for the better part of a decade now. Maybe it's because I always just use Xubuntu, but seriously, I've installed linux on probably close to a dozen computers, from shitty $300 laptops to top of the line custom rigs, and the absolute worst I can remember having to do is a google search followed by copy+pasting a couple lines of shell followed by a reboot to get some obscure audio driver working. Why do I always see people posting horror stories like this? Are these people doing something retarded, or have I just been insanely lucky? I'm guessing some kind of anti-survivorship bias plays a factor, but god damn, how hard could this possibly be?

>>52448621
Not that anon, but XFCE has been the best. Don't fall for the KDE meme either. It's awful, even pre-Plasma spinoffs. It's shit and you will not like it.

>>52448575
There are the Fedora Spins, they come with a different default DE. I use the Fedora Cinnamon Spin myself.

>GNU/Linux, on the other hand, is much more flexible...
>If GNOME freezes on you...

distros and derivatives are building the system for you, and giving them to you. can't speak for all DEs, but gnome specifically has taken on system tasks for the past few years, and makes it trivial to ascertain private information about the user. malware would target linux users just as bad as windows users if... linux was actually popular. it's not.

So it's not 'safer,' it's just security through obscurity, and saying anything different means you haven't a clue what your system is made of, especially if you're going anywhere near gnome.

Gnome is like the pre-installed bloatware that american retailers put on computer mfg'er machines.

Love Linux, less freezes and less crashes than with Windows 10. Less bugs, more customiseability, you control your computer and it doesn't spy and log what you do.

>>52448102
I use it for embedded projects and on my home server, but not as my desktop OS.

>>52448621

Not that anon either, but XFCE's been working the best for me. I liked Gnome 3 but didnt really take advantage of anything it offered other than the overlay mode for launching applications and ended up adding an applications/places applet like Gnome 2 anyway. Shit lagged like crazy so I wanted something lighter on resources and XFCE works great. Whisker menu is a godsend and definitely better for me than MATE was as well.

>>52449460
What window manager do you use? Compositing?

It can be awful if your graphics card is not supported.

But I get around that by buying something that is supported (been using linux for ~7 years, so this is not a new thing).

If you don't have good hardware, maybe try a distro that lets you select drivers more easily.
Ubuntu, mint, manjaro etc are distros focused on the mythical "new user".
They figure out what driver will work for you and lets you select between options.

Try those out, see if it is possible to get something to run smoothly, note what driver setup works and then go back to what ever distro you want and apply those changes.

Gnome, kde, mate, xfce, etc should all work.
The reason you pick one over the other is more a "I want something to work this way" rather than it doesn't work at all.

When your hardware works (and I believe you can get yours to work too), it is much more enjoyable to use.

It has never been this easy to setup a linux system, windows isn't even in the same ballpark.

>>52449506

>>52448102
I love using linux, but for me linux isn't the best OS. It makes me really regret selling my thinkpad.
For my desktop I only use it to play video games so that's obviously windows.
then on my laptop and second desktop I use mac os because running anything else on a mac is full blown retarded

What the fuck kind of ghetto rigs are you people running that you think Windows 10 is slow and you experience crashes and freezes?

>>52449960
They probably don't use adblockers and install all the shit they find on internet.

>>52449558
>They figure out what driver will work for you and lets you select between options.
'Additional drivers' on Ubuntu works like shit. I tried it twice at a year's distance in different computers (both AMD dedicated graphics). Both times after I installed fglrx it booted to a black screen. Whatcha gonna do, faggot? Recovery mode, purge fglrx, reinstall open source drivers. Except the second time, even that didn't work, somehow /dev/dri/ went missing and basically I had to reinstall the OS because I can't into kernels. 0/10, would not recommend.

>>52448365
Wait...so its this guys fault that shit didn't work right? Are you fucking mental?

>>52450088
AMD closed source driver is pure shit. Use the open source driver, for HD 7000 and Rx 200 cards it's almost on par with the closed source one.

>>52450142
At the time I was kind of desperate because I needed OpenGL 4.x for homework, and those lazy mesa fucks apparently are still at 3.3.

Yes, at least that's true. You see them shilling for Microsoft Windows, bitching about Linux because you can't play computer games on it, spout memes about how W7 or WinXP were the best operating systems of all times, etc.

>>52451770

No, wait, I have the answer. In the past the userbase was much smaller and when you tell someone to fuck off that meant something. Nowadays there's so many people that telling everyone to fuck off just doesn't work.

That said, getting a reputation as being unhelpful will help.

>>52452756
I just redirect everyone to the generals. /g/ really shouldn't be the default board in clover and mods really should ban more people for not using /wsr/.

I prefer to use an OS that does what I want and responds in reasonable time. I don't "enjoy" it, it's a tool, while I actively hate using Windows since it takes me half the day just to sign in and load the app I want, then have to find and install (with no package manager) a specialised GUI program to do something that could be done in one line with a proper command line and tools

I know this is a shitposting thread but...

I have this incredibly shitty and small laptop I want to use for work, so I installed Debian on it, but I fell for the GNOME meme so it's still slow as shit.

Still better than Windows which has absolutely zero documentation unless you happen to actually work at Microsoft.

>>52454384
Please pinpoint the part of my post where I claimed Windows to be well documented. I hate the lack of documentation in Windows too. But at least Windows works (kinda) out of the box, so most people don't even need documentation in the first place.

There's manpages for almost every significant package in you os if you use GNU/Linux.

With dubious quality. Especially the X packages are lacking, and many haven't seen an update in over 10 years.

>>52454617
The quality of manpages is great for pretty much every package i have needed one for. The reason the x documentation hasn't changed is because x hasn't really changed either.

>>52450721
You ever on windows bud? Post install it takes ages to knock everything into shape. My guess is you had some shit old version of radeon, or your card was too new and you never installed catalyst. Also there are tons of graphical environments to try out, each has their quirks. Gnome is a shambles these days but if it ever tightens up it'll be one of the nicest UI's out there. For windows likeness you can install KDE or a simple panel with LXDE or XFCE. Linux is all about exploring and customising. It's overwhelming for some windows users, but any Linux user will tell you it's worthwhile and so comfortable to use once you find the configuration that suits you.

Sounds like a problem with your computer, not win10.

Win10 runs perfectly fast for me and has not frozen or crashed a single time so far. The freezing/crashing issues I had with Win7 were all due to hardware problems with my computer, and ceased once I fixed those hardware problems.

As I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a system that is slow and spies on you every single hour, and I don't want rootkit activator in my OS, GNU/Linux is fine by me. Sensible computing IS possible in windows, but not without going through "Activate your PC" or random ads here and there.

cowadooty won't work on it, you install software using a package manager instead of searching for the devs website and downloading it, there is no registry, you will use the terminal for some things(there is no way to make a gui for some things you can do with bash/zsh), you will use keyboard shortcuts way more often, you will need more info about your system when searching for stuff (DE, package manager, OS), directories are way different...

>>52458437
>cowadooty won't work on it
Some of it will through Wine
>you install software using a package manager instead of searching for the devs website and downloading it, there is no registry, you will use the terminal for some things
All great things
>you will use keyboard shortcuts way more often
Absolutely false. Unless you spend your existence in the CLI alone, DEs are very mouse oriented. Which is a bad thing.
>you will need more info about your system when searching for stuff, directories are way different...
Come on, pretty much every Linux newcomer knows this, especially on /g/ of all places.

>>52458486
>Absolutely false. Unless you spend your existence in the CLI alone, DEs are very mouse oriented. Which is a bad thing.
Tbh if you aren't using a WM like i3 you are a failure.

>>52458507
>if you don't spend at least 4 hours daily editing configs you are a failure
Okay
Plus bare WMs aren't exempt from this either. The issue isn't even the DE environment itself but rather the various stupid, illogically designed Gtk and Qt interfaces that you run from it. Keyboard shortcuts are all over the place in Linux, without any design consistency over what should do what (most package managers are controlled completely differently, which is just bullshit), commonly used shortcuts commonly don't even have a shortcut at all and you have to select them from a dropdown menu, etc.

>>52458486
>Absolutely false. Unless you spend your existence in the CLI alone, DEs are very mouse oriented. Which is a bad thing.
what are you trying to say here? even when using a DE, keyboard shortcuts on GNU/Linux are just way more convenient than on windows and can be mapped however you like.

you seem to think i was disagreeing with you, i personally prefer debian testing with xfce over windows while still dual-booting for games.

>>52458587
>>if you don't spend at least 4 hours daily editing configs you are a failure

>>52458589

After researching for several hours on how to exactly word out the command you want to assign to the key, then figuring out what code your key is assigned to, then figuring out why it's buggy and doesn't work.

In Windows you have Autohotkey, which is absolutely reliable.

Maybe if you're retarded senpai. And I take it you never have to set shit up in your DE?

>>52458750
i can make application specific shortcuts with it though. why would that be hard?

>>52458797
All DEs nowadays have easy, transparent interfaces to set up shit like panels in 5 minutes tops. The only time spent on worthless research is due to troubleshooting if something screws up (which isn't too often).
>>52458813
Because you don't have to just set a new shortcut, but replace the old one. Which piles up just more unneeded research.

>>52458797

Literally never have any catastrophic problems, nothing that isn't like any other computer problem. It's to the point where I don't understand how other people can be having so much difficulty an pretty much having their computers explode.

I guess in retrospect I did have to do certain things to get certain things to work, some of which took hours or days but really it was barely noticeable as a problem since I like computers and it was enjoyable + helped me learn Linux.

On top of this, I use Windows, OSX and Linux interchangeably however I see fit and I almost always just use Linux; so it's not even that I am 'forcing' myself to just use Linux.

>>52448365
>>52451290

This guy is pretty much right. Linux isn't very difficult to learn any-more for normal-people stuff (and I don't just mean Netflix/Facebook; I mean normal student/professional/etc. stuff).

People will know just as little about how to do not-normal stuff on Windows as they will on Linux; that's the bottom line. As long as they can do what they need to do (which they can) and get someone to help them when it's an "IT problem" then they will barley notice the difference between OSes.

10//10 response

I'm dual booting windows 10 and mint Linux with cinnamon, I definitely prefer it over Ubuntu, things seem much more straight forward to me, Ubuntu has kind of proprietised things to their liking, I probably still prefer to install things using a graphical ui to be honest, people say it's easier to use terminal command but it always feels like a chore and a step back into the early nineties for me, windows 10 is OK but definitely flawed, I have had times where I'm starting up and it just sits there for almost an hour doing nothing with no explanation, or I might want to do something but I can't because it has to install 4 or 5 god dam updates, and even just navigating to your installed apps is harder then ever with this shitty start menu, even the file explorer is more convoluted but generally speaking, I get about my tasks in windows 10 without smashing my face into the keyboard most of the time, Linux mint is fantastically simple to navigate and although I don't quite have all the apps I would like (actually it's about half of less) it's great for most daily tasks, it just gets annoying when you suddenly need something and you have to spend half the day on the internet finding a straight answer from some forum full of Linux fags who know what your after but would rather give you some shitty smart arse cunt fuck response :-)

What exactly are you trying to do with it? like give me an example, not saying that powershell isn't one of the better moves microsoft has made, but show me the source and we'll talk. But hey man i'll give you its the best piece of shit you can buy for a hundred bucks or so. ;^)

Wasn't the piping of commands together, something you've bragged about just a moment ago? >>52467787 What happened?

>>52467878
So it's just basic piping?
Also is this all the documentation on that piece of software? That's ridiculous compared to manpages.

Sounds like a good name for a gay porn website. Why Linux is so gay?

>>52467899
Yeah so pipe commands together?, use fifo for running processes, whats the problem? You can pass information between programs all day long. What specifically couldn't you solve here either internally withing the software, piping existing software, global environment variables, bash scripting or etc. The premiss of linux is to keep it simple don't blame me when your asking how to do some convuluted non-specific thing and why it wont work. Its an argument in terms anon.

>>52448102

Mint is the only decent distro these days. If it doesn't melt your motherboard from overheating.

>>52467986
So basically Linux piping is shit and you have to use some nasty workarounds to get basics working. Sounds about right.
>global environment variables
lol, just leave already

>>52468010
Personally i dont think "command 1 | command 2" is that big of fucking deal. throw some regular expressions in and your fucking set.

Tell me specifically what your trying to do, because i think all you did was find some powershell function and pass it off as the holy grail of windows superiority completely ignoring the restricting and intrinsically buggy system your working so hard to defend. So again, What do you need to do, and why could it not be done simpler with a couple basic shell programs?

Just showing retarded meme spouters for who they're

This board is filled with people that are either too dumb or too lazy to solve problems in a basic computing evironment.

If you're not willing to search for drivers or audit packages then *nix is not for you. There isn't a giant corporation working around the clock to provide drivers for archaic hardware across multiple *nix distributions. If you're incapable of doing your own research or have been made far too complacent by straightforward consumer grade products then fuck off. *nix is for people who like solving problems and getting their hands dirty. Getting this thing mainstreamed is damn near impossible for this very fact.

You are now aware of the fact that MacOS is *nix. You are also aware of the fact that Linux elitism and feeling superior because you make problems more complicated than they have to be is the highest of fedora-tiers. Furthermore, you're a faggot.

Nah i just like to annotate my argument with the same absurdity this entire thread and the millions of other threads are about. If its a joke i might as well laugh. Your entire motivation here isn't about correctness its just about filling up enough space with ad-hominem's and bullshit so that people buy your product, and my entire motivation is that its a sad thing, i don't have to be completely respectful to call out bullshit nor do i represent the entirety of this implied community your trying to demonize. So again why is windows better?

>>52468195
MacOS comes from a unix background, fucking so did windows. Not all linux/BSD operating systems are the same, hell thats the point, difference in opinion. The whole thing with open source *nix programs is you have a system where you can actually solve problems that otherwise would've been unsolvable because of license agreements and closed source programs. Better yet you can repurpose it to solve whatever computer applicable problem you want without shilling over hard earned monies for programs that don't work. If your only argument against linux as a whole, both as a programming environment and as a user oriented system is that it doesn't have powershell well then fuck man i guess i'm caught.

assuming your arguing against linux, for windows, but no your probably trying to solve a legitimate problem, without a specific applicable purpose i might add, trying desperately to ask for good advice and not just making a broad shitpost against it. Its a convenience vs security/autonomy point and i sincerely hope your getting paid well for devil's advocate here, because your working pretty hard.

Seems like it can't pipeline objects, which makes it into a useless shit.

What's the point of using CLI if I can't pipeline objects and collections? Might as well use GUI and stop being autistic.

2016 Linux is truly an MSDOS tier garbage.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7107305/sharing-data-across-processes-on-linux#7107538

All gui's just sit on top of other programs and libraries, the only difference is that windows revolves around convoluted bullshit because it doesn't want to give up its source code or lose money. There are gui's in linux, you don't have to use the command line, but then again if windows gui's made up for this then why powershell? Its not like their trying to mask how little you can actually do with it right?

So Loonix, can't pipeline objects in their 'precious' CLI, while Windows can. Got it.

>>52468872
>If the two sub-processes do not run at the same time pipes or sockets won't work for you – their buffers would be too small for the 'huge binary file' and the first process will block waiting for anything for reading the data.
Linux, what a great OS! Surely that's is not a 'convoluted bullshit'.

>>52468872
*nix: everything is a text file
windows: everything is an object
never dicked around with powershell but since it only depends on .NET it should work in wine anyway, what's your problem?

>>52468872
>>52468939
>>52468972
Surely Loonix CLI is superior. Would you mind clarifying how can I use 'POSIX shared memory API' from CLI to pipeline 2 applications?

>>52468939
Objects is a pretty broad term to be fair, if your referring to objects and classes within windows programs it makes sense but as seen from bash which is a standalone shell talking to other programs it doesn't. Windows can do shit like that because all the programs it talks to aren't individual programs to be strung together but are essential a link in the chain of windows architecture itself. There is no .Net architecture, there are no COM objects. I mean you can spout about classes and objects talking about c libraries, but because were talking about a shell that links programs and powershell is more like a middle man between an entire framework its not going to make sense. Again why would i need to pipeline objects when i can pipe simple programs programs together and achieve the same effect?

>>52469009
I don't got a problem with powershell, but as a reason for windows over linux its ridiculous. More my problem with windows is its tendency towards user manipulation and its we'll do it for you trust us approach.

>>52469127
>if something doesn't work for you tell yourself that you don't need it anyway
I see you're staying true to Linux philosophy :)

>>52469127
You want pipeline working for interoperability. If every program will implement their own sharing interface you won't be able to pipe them together without recoding. Also for parallelism, and remote execution. Otherwise you have to solve those things manually for each and every application you'll be using in your pipeline.

And anyway, wasn't the whole philosophy of unix/linux to keep applications as small as possible, doing one task only?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Do_One_Thing_and_Do_It_Well

Why Linux CLI is such shit in this case?

>>52467945
>that image

Holy shit Winfags get so defensive. You're just embarassing yourself projecting this much

>>52469272
The shell does its job well, it doesn't do other programs jobs. Overall i see your point but its the difference between standalone programs developed by a wide variety of sources as opposed to a cohesive whole developed by one company or at least to the benefit and ultimate control of one company to determine. Overall are there things linux suffers from because of its decentralized nature yeah. But its better to deal with that then add to the microsoft dick sucking party. Should there be a better way for realtime information to be shared between programs probably, but each developer has their own preference on how to and what language to write code. The difference with linux is i can audit rearrange and re-utilize the source to my whim, whereas with windows ultimately it ends up out of my grasp, and most of the complex programs are complex simply to suit the purpose of obfuscation on part of windows, most anything i need to do in linux is as simple as redirecting information from stdout to another program because most linux programs are wrote with the intention of doing one job simply and doing it well. Windows programs arn't.

>>52469209
I don't use windows, ergo it makes no sense to use a shell designed for window's programs. The linux philosophy is if something doesn't work fix it. My shell works for me, powershell "works" for them do ya see what i'm getting at.

>>52469570
>>52469620

1. CLI doesn't and shouldn't care if your program was developed by one company or a variety of devs, as long as it outputs to std
2. CLI is not designed for any specific platform as long as programs that run can output to std
3. Why anybody would brag about CLI that's factually inferior to other alternatives available on the market.
4. I'm also not sure if "linux philosophy" has anything to do with sucking dicks, or with their CLI being on par with MSDOS form 2 decades ago. But it apparently does.

>>52469570
>"linux programs are wrote with the intention of doing one job simply and doing it well"
