Besides stability, user-friendliness and the ability to run popular

anti-sage B)

Probably the main concern tbqh.....
It's hard to find a good chinese cartoon sharing site with a Stallman board where people can discuss Richard Stallman and Stallman related topics without being hounded by paid Microsoft shills and fanbois.

I'm not criticizing linux you fucking autist, I am asking if it has problems besides the ones people bring up all the time

>>56937915
Op can't bump.

Nice try you dumb frog poster.

This will still get like 60 posts of the same shit we had yesterday.

You seem to be confusing memes that people repeatedly spout with actual real life problems.

Setup can be a nightmare for tech illiterate people. I still can't get my bluetooth to work (not that I use it)

I'm torn about going back to windows because I want to play games and use office (Libre is not good enough for what I use) but I can't live without a package manager anymore

Microsoft Word is a huge one for me, too

1. it's a monolithic kernel (why the fuck does it have a sound system inside, for example)
2. it's a bad clone of bsd - for example Linus forgot to copy SIGINFO
3. GPL - it's not really free

Back to your containment thread.

Besides something happended, reporting all you're shit to the NSA isn't very user friendly.
Dual booting is a thing, if there's some windows only software you can't get by without.
Dual boot if you want, Linus Torvalds won't even get mad.

/care.

I want to use my computer to do productive things. Not jerk over which terminal I'm looking at. Seems like every lunix user does just about that.

I was teaching at my old University and I found that the fat fuck lunix using neckbeards were among the shittiest students every single time. It's all show and no skill.

GPL software = contributed to daily
BSD software = anally raped and stolen daily.
>Ever wonder why Linux is everywhere and BSD is nowhere?

It has the largest ratio of virgin males to men of the three main camps. Even BSD has a less embarrassing ratio.

you too

>true proprietary software
contributed to daily by a professional team with clear goals
>quasi free software
contributed to daily by people without proper education and clear goals
>true free software
as above, but actually free or something

also i wasn't talking about bsd license

you can run any windows software on your linux machine provided your cpu has virtualization extensions (VT-d etc). if you need the dedicated gpu for running 3d stuff your mobo/cpu/gpu must also allow for pci passthrough.
However, converting your linux OS into a xen dom0 (or similar hypervisor OS), installing various kinds of hvms and configuring PCI-E passthrough might be a bit overkill, especially if you're inexperienced with hardware virtualization like xen. the advantage of course is, you can have a dedicated windows vm for every windows program you need to run providing good isolation and an easy way to reduce data theft going towards M$.

kek'd.

the only benefit of Linux is that it doesn't make your computer explode (however, it might even do something like that because is sucks shit on laptops because it can't manage power well).

>contributed to daily by a professional team with clear goals
Weellll... that's the goal at least

The ability to run popular hardware because no third party drivers. And my bluetooth mice don't work.

Wifi drivers

After installing Ubuntu within literally 5 minutes I had issues with installing htop and lm-sensors
Something was taking control of apt and wouldn't let me install packages to begin with, after killing anything using apt, htop and LP-sensors both gave me "has no installation candidate" errors
Unity started fucking up
The drivers thing wouldn't let me install proprietary drivers even after checking to make sure I allow the system to install proprietary drivers

I'm buying 8.1 again, because I remembered why I stopped using Linux in the first place, every time is start up I'd get two "system error" popups, neither of which actually explained the error, and for some reason no matter the DE, it was a fucking ram hog

Minix, and it's gone long ago.

Tested and exist.

Wifi drivers are only really a problem with Broadcom stuff nowadays, if you want plug-and-play then get some cheap chinese wifi card/usb dongle, they often have open specs and will work fine without any additional configuration.

Go prep your bull BSD cuck

>>56938310
Nice pasta, mind if I use it?

>>56938463
I use Ubuntu and broadcom wifi drivers are always conveniently found in "additional drivers". Never had a problem,, I just need to install it from there.

>>56938715
why do you think that there are only bsd and gpl licenses?
also both of them are cuck

I really don't understand this meme. I am I'm college and take statistics classes where excel is needed and I use libre calc and it works fine. I also use libre writer for all my assignments and save it as a Microsoft office file.

I haven't had a single professor complain about it. What are you guys doing?
