As long as you have access to the WWW and the world's most powerful operating system who gives a shit about screen tearing. It's not even a priority.

>>56043701
Ricing is not just looks (which I rarely worry about) but also input configuration. Most "hipster" wms have a bit of a learning curve but if you know vi keybinds it is generally just a matter of configuring the wm to utilize them and behave properly for certain windows. You of course needn't know vi to fo this but it is super cozy to have a standardized input method

It is rewarding to have a computer interface that you have configured to fit you. Also only using the keyboard winds up being faster (for me at least but I am sure this is a common thing). You can bind just about any program to fit the scheme.

Within the window you can have single key commands (t opens new tab) along with a shift layer so that T opens a duplicate tab. Alt layer is for the window manager (Alt+hjkl moves between tiles) and super is more of a wildcard layer for misc commands (super+r runs dmenu plugin to access commands).

It seems hard to learn but by configuring each of these layers key by key you should know them right away.

Again, it is rewarding. Also, if you put /home on a separate partition (or keep a backup of that filesystem/tree) you can simply export all of your configs to any new installation without having to redo anything.

It isn't for everybody and to each his own, but there is merit to knowing how to configure your system. It isn't difficult.

>no games
>doesn't realize poster meant "AAA games" i.e. Witcher 3, GTA 5, Fallout 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, hell even fucking Overwatch wasn't released on Linux platform and a toaster could run it. There are games but the majority are older titles that a toaster could run toady or stuff a smartphone could run at 1080p 60 FPS.

I am more than happy to jump ship to linux when there is better support for the platform. Right now I feel like Linux is the Wii U of gaming. Niche and doesn't have the library to support the wide variety of gamer tastes compared to their competitors.

I just already knew vim so I used that. I plan on using conkerer as a browser so I will end up learning some emacs standards as well unless I decide to just mask all keybindings to vi.

To me vim is best editor because I don't get into scripting behavior enough to fully utilize emacs/justify learning it. Honestly I tried emacs and it just didn't click like vim did.

Try spacemacs. It just werks, has powerful and convenient vi bindings, almost doesn't require any additional configuration. My .vimrc ended up with >300 LOC and it still wasn't comfortable, not even to mention complete bundles like spf13.

.spacemacs in the other hand has literally couple lines of my code and 10 or 20 variables set up (which, btw, can be done via embedded gui).

No, it's flatly not.

Does GIMP have clipping masks, yet? Layer styles? Stackable layer styles? Content aware fill? Puppet warp? I could keep going.

>>56047591
(Last I used GIMP was in or around 2009, so maybe this isn't accurate anymore)
You have to install a bunch of user scripts to get a worse version of what Photoshop does by default, and it fits the whole theme of working harder for what other software does quickly and easily out of the box that plagues GIMP. As someone who bills at a flat rate for most of their projects, I can't spend more time fighting software to do what I need to do.

>>56046117
I will definitely give spacemacs a shot. I try to minimize my vimrc as I have found even a few plugins weigh it down. One of the main reasons I use vim is because it has no delay.

Wouldn't true freedom entail using both proprietary and free software as one desires? It seems to me that both proprietary and free software offer an advantage or convenience that the other doesn't. The people who dedicate themselves to one side or the other are the ones who are not free, just like our good friend Richard Stallman.

I will reap the benefits of using both proprietary and open source software for as long as I live. I will use open source software to make proprietary software for as long as I live and so will everyone else around you. People who bitch about this kind of thing just come across as pathetic desu. Any free ware can be made proprietary at the drop of a hat and the reverse is true if you are a good enough programmer.

>>56044509
yeah, isn't it sad that the same arguments still work against linux 10 years on.

it's a fucking mess.

>>56058388
RMS seems to feel that the question of freedom is more about the user's freedom to modify something he has on his computer/owns. your counter-argument is a little like saying that people have the freedom to put chains on and live in prisons (albeit he's not making such a bombastic point).

the truth is somewhere in between. there is a sort of utilitarian freedom that is dropping when a developer exercises his freedom to restrict the freedom of thousands or millions of users, but that's hardly akin to imprisonment or slavery.

the problem is that rms is melodramatic, so he argues all this shit with urgency that just can't be justified.

>>56058414

I don't think that is at all an accurate metaphor for my counter argument. A more accurate metaphor would be: You have the freedom to walk into prison and chain yourself up, you also have the freedom to leave your chains and prison whenever you want. You also have the freedom to decide the color of your chains and the content of the prison cell in which you reside. If you have the know how you could also create a portal within your prison and go wherever you want from there. I am trying to say that the only real difference between free software and proprietary software is that a developer just has more programming to do when modifying something that is proprietary. I just don't think that there is such a thing as proprietary software. The future of free software will all be is on the web. Soon we will be able to use whatever OS we want within our browsers just by going to a URL.

>>56058414
furthermore just what does it mean to own a computer when it's connected to a network of many more? I would rather use a network of computers then just a computer and thats exactly what I do when I use a computer that is connected to the internet. It seems rather stupid to limit myself to modifying what is on my computer when I could be modifying the content of the network as well as the network itself. Again, I think that the ones who are truly free are the ones who recognize that ownership of anything is an illusion and making the distinction between proprietary and free is essentially meaningless.
