>>56210213
No ones shilling it's a technology board so we discuss technology

Linux is a meme op. Join the smart guys and use Windows.

I only once every needed to find drivers after installing a new Linux distro. That was due to Linux not liking my r.a.t 7 mouse. Wasn't too big of a pain to do it either.

GNU/Linux is for people with an IQ of 130 or above. If you are too stupid to use it then please use the shitty botnet that is Windows 10.

Tell me my Linux fanboy friend, how would you have worked around literally not seeing anything on your monitor on your brand new Linux install? No, not even a terminal. Absolutely nothing.

You're literally autistic if you can't understand that people benefit from using Linux even though it doesn't match *your* computing needs.

This is LITERALLY a symptom of autism; being able to understand that other people are independant entities. I understand this, and I use Linux exclusively. Let that sink in; you're more autistic than someone who uses ganoo slash loonix 24/7. You're not the good kind of autist like I am, who programs robots, maintains personal servers, tries new programming languages, and makes their own electronics. No, that's the smart kind of autist. You're the kind of underdeveloped child-like autist who plays with electronic toys and will die ignorant.

That's the point, don't waste your time and file reports with bug and suggestions, everyone can do that, or develop extensions/themes.


Too much time wasted on forks and alternatives because turboautists can't stand each others. It really piss me off as we have the minds and the tools to do great things
but we wasting it because of pride and autism.

The only distros that try to push GNU/linux forward are... Ubuntu and Fedora. What a coincidence, they're sponsored/developed by companies.
If we can't establish a sane community with defined and realistic goals, we won't go anywhere.

Just use Linux for your daily computing and you'll learn Linux. Think of it like moving to a country that doesn't speak your language.

First you'll do things similar to how you do it on Windows, then you'll have to do some things via the command line, and will resent it. Then you'll wonder how you put up with the fucking control panel, 100 different installs of the .NET runtime and anything but a tiling window manager.

>>there are few GUI settings compared to Windows and Mac, you have to put crazy shit on terminal to even change mouse options
Incorrect. On any good distro like Ubuntu you can access almost all settings you'd regularly use through GUI (which even includes mouse options). It's not our fault you're too dumb to scroll down in the settings.
>> Laptop and Desktop support is shit
Linux supports more hardware than anything else. Again, you can install it on everything from a toaster to a self aiming rifle. Laptop and desktop computers of all kinds are well supported.

What does this even mean? Internet connection? Depends on what you use your computer for. If you're mostly shilling on /g/ then why are you surprised that your system doesn't fit your needs when offline? Drink bleach.

>>56210164

> it's hard to use, even the most simple task
> It's timesink os to get it works
>few GUI settings compared to Windows and Mac
Just use Ubuntu. Unity has most of the shit you want working out of the box. I use the terminal extensively, but I have never used it to change mouse or keyboard options.

> sudo apt/yum etc. etc. every fucking time to install shit
Well aside from the fact that many distros actually have GUI front ends for this (I remember several years ago on OpenSuSE doing most of my package management through a GUI, rather than through the command line), why should any of this be considered a valid complaint? The terminal isn't hard to use.

> You can't run games

> Can't watch anime without codec problems
VLC. Use it on Windows, use it on Linux, use it on Mac OS X, use it on Android. It just fucking works and there is no reason to use any other media player. There are no codec problems because it comes with pretty much every codec except for a few old and abandoned ones from the 90s that won't be used in any anime you find on bakabt, thepiratebay, or whatever fucking tracker you're using.

It would be a lot more convincing if my experience weren't completely oposite:

> Not optmized
For me and a lot of other people i know windows becomes slow after some time even being careful with what you run on it. Windows is crafted with programmed obsolescence in mind.

> it's hard to use, even the most simple task
I've recommended it to people who doesn't know anything about computers and they're using it fine with a lot less problems than windows.

> It's timesink os to get it works
I don't understand very well your phrase but it has benn the oposite of a timesink os for me, in fact it barely needs any mantainance compared to windows so i can use that time to actually do shit.

> my fan always go 100% speed and I have to write on terminal crazy shit to get it run properly.
It's working perfectly fine for me and for all the people i know that uses it.

>too much distros, too many choice, they are all shit
That's your opinion mate, also just stick with the user oriented distros like ubuntu.

>there are few GUI settings compared to Windows and Mac, you have to put crazy shit on terminal to even change mouse options
Yours is a corner case that only happens in certain desktop environments. In my own experience there's a lot more of GUI settings on linux. If you want corner cases try to change your system font or your icon theme on windows without touching system files.

> Laptop and Desktop support is shit
Hot opinions but this depends a lot on the hardware manufacturer, hell, you can even run a full session without even touching the hard drive in most machines.

> Laptop and Desktop support is shit
Yes, you can but it's true that if you want immediate access to the huge catalog of software from the trusted repositories you need internet, otherwise save the packages on an external drive.

The only problem I have with linux is that it tends to break when you update.

>>56219191
> sudo apt/yum etc. etc. every fucking time to install shit
You don't have package managers on windows that solves dependencies, chocolatey is very slow and buggy on my experience even if it's an important step forward. If you use bash on windows you don't have control of the OS from there like on linux and the package managers are just too convenient, so it's actually one of the reasons why i wouldn't touch windows soon if i'm not obligated.

> every fucking dist-upgrade freeze my computer
Works fine for me, also in contrast i know a lot of people who is already fed up with the wnidows 10 forced updates, even some of their devices has stopped working.

> You can't run games

The no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

hmmm, and your original post is a proof is a proof that that whatever OS you use you're better. Please at least be subtle and don't be hypocritical unless you want to be mocked.

I wouldn't touch windows with a pole if not necessary but i respect your decision.

IMHO microsoft is mistreating their users and abusing their dominant position but if you don't care about any of that or any of their anti-competitive measures just go for it.
