Why would you limit your device capabilities by putting a server OS on it? Are you running a server? Sysadmin? Managing backend? If not then you don't need Linux.

Now try uninstalling on Linux. You have no idea where the remnants of the installation are because of the retarded file system where almost all directories are locked under root.

Cleaning up on Windows is easy with Ccleaner and control panel. Linux is a fucking nightmare you cock goblin.

>>57206946
So what? It doesn't run any good mainstream software. Wine only supports outdated installs with limited functionality as IE11 dependencies and DirectX9 are broken as fuck in Wine.

If I have to use Windows software on Linux to get things done, then might as well use Windows.

>>57206928
> locked under root
What? Don't you have root access on your own machine?

In any case if you use a package manager, you can easily uninstall.

>>57206928
apt-get purge firefox

>>57206960
It's good for new users until they get used to the command line. Wouldn't catch me using that shit now though.

>>57206928

 sudo autoremove 

Shit that was hard.

>>57206977
I had to copy one fucking file from my home to a system folder. It became a project. Had to manually type the command line under SU to copy a stupid fuck file.

I need to SU for every small thing. Meanwhile Windows is Ctrl C + Ctrl V. Any program can be launched as administrator automatically.

Linux needs to die quickly.

Doesn't work especially with dependencies. You don't know which dependencies you need to keep.

I tried removing the default mail app on Ubuntu it bricked the system. Tried removing global bar in unity, it bricked the system. Removed dependencies for Wine from my system, Ubuntu can't login to my account after that.

What the actual fuck?

Ubuntu is literally the worst distro, of course it bricked when you removed the bloat.

Ever wondered why a ton of malware can fuck windows up despite UAC?

>>57207042
Regardless, Windows does not have this problem. You can remove any software and its related Visual C++ etc, and Windows runs fine. None of your software is tied to Windows system files and the installers do a fine job on their own without my input.

Well if it gets removed from the system then it does.

I have never gotten malware or any infection for the last decade. I am currently using Avast and a blocklist for qbittorrent.

Fun fact: Most drivers and their configuration GUI relies on IE. My Synaptics touchpad animation and config was broken when I removed IE. Same goes for certain games like League of Legends.

>>57207076
>I used a shit distro so all the distros are shit
Also as I and many people have said if you run autoremove and purge then it also removes all unused dependencies.

>>57207109
No, you turned off a windows feature. It's called "disabling", not "removing" or "uninstalling"

Dumb wintoddler

>>57207122
Linux is the same no matter which DE you put on top. The core is a turd, you polish it however you want.

Also I used nearly all flavors of Ubuntu, Manjaro, Arch, Fedora, Linux Lite, Linux Mint, eOS etc. Ubuntu was the least annoying of them. The worst offender being Fedora with its RPM nonsense. Seriously Fedora should not even exist, it is horrifying. The most stupidest spinoff has to be elementary OS with so many bugs, it feels like an Alpha release.

>>57206726
Or just download the .deb file and install everything through the Ubuntu software center :^)

>>57207094
>currently using Avast

Thanks for proving my point. I'm not saying that those people who open legitprogram.exe kind of stuff aren't dumb. I'm saying that the fact a even a standard user executing a program can cause so much damage that you need to reinstall is hilarious. In linux it can delete your personal files at most and can't damage the systen files directly as it isn't running as root. There's a reason why antiviruses aren't even remotely popular among linux users.

>>57206911
GNU/Linux was not intended to be a "server OS" nor is it. It can be used for any purpose the user deems needed.

>>57207192
.deb is not an installer. It is like a 7-zip self-extracting archive with a preset directory instructions.

>>57207211
That's exactly what .msi files are

>>57207130
No, it gets removed.

>>57206743
Wait what. I used Ubuntu for school a couple of times and I always had to install everything with the command prompt.

>>57207242
Cry harder, may be it'll come true

In this days and age, explain how typing a command line is better than browsing and downloading. You have to browse anyway to find what you want to dl and repositories and stuff.

You need a password so malware doesnt do it too.

>>57207211
>launch deb file
>software center opens and asks if you want to install it
Never did I imply it was an installer, what I meant was it allows an identical process of installation you would have on Windows, just like >>57207216 said. Download the file, open it, install the software, no need for the terminal. The only difference is you have to enter your password unless you're running as root.

Sorry but I tested windows 98, xp, vista, 7 an 10 and windows still doesn't open selected file ising space key.

>>57207016
>I tried removing the default mail app on Ubuntu it bricked the system.
We may have different views about what bricked means.
When you remove software, you get a list of packages which gets removed as well.
If you don't know what that will do to the system, don't do it.
>Tried removing global bar in unity, it bricked the system.
This seems more believable.
Removing crucial parts of a DE will brick the DE.
It is the good and the bad part of having applications which are entangled.
They work better together, but they also depend on each other.
If you don't like a DE, pick another. There is so many out there.
Either you stick with the defaults on one of those, or you do a bit of research on how to modify it.

>>57207242

Let me play devil's advocate for a while.
How do you install software on a Linux machine which doesn't have Internet access?

>>57207004
>>57207070
>>57207306
That is a problem on Linux, honestly. It should give you an option to elevate like on Windows instead of just saying you don't have permission.

Put the packages on something like a usb stick and install from there.

>>57211252
Plus you can literally put all of the software repo on a few DVD's and have access to them anytime you want if there is no Internet available.

>>57211197
Make sure you have ALL the dependencies.

windows 10 just werks, at least. mint is supposed to be one of the easiest to use distros too. I feel like linux is still not user friendly enough to begin with. Obviously I'll stick with it and once i learn what to do it will be great, but getting started is just one headache after another. especially with the terminal I look up problems and people can rattle off a long command no worries but how the fuck do you learn this stuff without taking a course in linux or spending years working with it. this is mint, not gentoo.

>>57207081

Kind of counter intuitive

>>57207076
Because Windows has multiple copies of the same libraries instead of a sensible dependancy system

>>57207016
With Arch, at least, it comes up with 'dependencies no longer needed:' when uninstalling or updating programs. It's a really useful feature of pacman, one of the reasons I love it.

a better cli environment is the only reason to use linux.


babbys should just stay with windows.
