There is literally no reason not to use Linux if you don't edit videos or play Vidya. If you dont do either of these things why arent you using Linux

You have more control and better security

Most that aren't AAA games will work on wine

Video Editing
Because even the idiot proof distros inheritantly seem to screw up the update once the new version is out. Stuck on Ubuntu 13.1 and don't feel like reinstalling.

Natron: https://natron.fr/
Pitivi: http://www.pitivi.org/
I'm sure these two are more than sufficient for the average user.

>You have more control
So?
>better security
Who cares? I'm not an idiot so viruses don't concern me.
>wine
Why would I install a new OS and then install wine to use programs that I can already use right now?
I occasionally need to use Linux at work, but why should I waste my time using it on my personal computer for no benefit to me?

I would be using Linux if I had a CPU that supported VT-d. I would be using OS X if that supported VT-d and I could get a system that fit my needs.

Who says the only threat to your security is from outside attackers and not from Microsoft itself?
I just installed Ubuntu. It doesn't recognize my wifi adapter so I can't do anything. I downloaded a driver but there's no installer, and have to use a command line to install it, apparently. Well, this OS is useless to me.

No.

Why the hell do I own a high end PC then?

You'd have more options in terms of software and security. Personally, I have no use for Windows software, but I like knowing that I could always resort to using Wine or a VM if something useful were to turn up.

Who the fuck do you think you're calling a summerfag, you son of a bitch? I'll have you know that I've been on 4chan since April 2007, and that's only counting the time since I graduated from /b/. So you're one of those kids who thinks Pepe is the hot shit, eh? Ha! I've witnessed memes rise and fall, the very ebb and flow of history. Do you recall the days when Longcat was fresh, when Boxxy was queen? Entire boards have come and gone since I came here. I made the Lolcat macros that you and your friends giggled at in middle school. Do remember when /n/ was for news? What about when moot purged /pol/? Hell, do you even know who moot was? Or Snacks? I've seen things you can't possibly even imagine. I've done things beyond your comprehension. I raided sites that don't even exist anymore, and drank the tears of marks long since forgotten. I've gone through dozens of trips on boards you've never even heard of. From Anonymous to Gaymer Gayte, from Habbo to the Fappening, I've outlived them all, and I'm still thriving. And you have the insolence to call me. *me*, a summerfag? Take a step back, kiddo, and think for a second who you're talking to, or you might just get burned.
