Won't crash the desktop and close all the folders you had open when run under "heavy load".

Seems every Windows after XP does this if you open too many files and folders. Memory amount does not matter, the result is the same and caused by old bug that is not yet fixed.

Seen this happen on different computers over the years and it always is a pain to explain to someone who uses the computer for work. "Well don't open too many folders because windows can't handle that".

If you want to see this happen, the fastest way to duplicate it is to open about ~20 or more folders, does not matter what is in them but they can't be empty folders. Then open a browser and lets say photoshop or some other program. Start opening few files by double clicking and see when the windows closes all folders and show you empty desktop for a while. Photoshop and browser will be restored but not the folders, if you had opened any files with native windows apps, chanses are they won't be restored at all.

This does not happen in any other OS as far as I know. What seems to trigger the bug is the open folders, because this does not happen if you only open crazy amount of files and programs and use a single window for everything and click back and forward buttons all day.

None of these are complete new environments,they are just modifying parts of the desktop, not presenting an entirely new environment.

Internet recovery. Not being officially part of the botnet.

Also updating your shit whenever you choose to, continuity, tabs in file manager.

The latter things are probably doable but need extra software, which needs to be found, installed and configured first; and generally doesn't work as well.

Needing extra effort to allow things that are basic is the biggest issue with Windows, not lack of functionality.

You are asking me to take a single piece out of a cube and have it remain one, the main difference between NT Windows and Linux/Unix or even MacOS is that at their core is a CLI OS with a desktop environment at the top as it stands today Windows NT based OS is a GUI OS, you can't remove that GUI and replace it with a completely entirely based on a core different desktop environment without rendering the OS unusable.

Linux DEs are not integrally one application, they're made up of different bits and they modify the desktop environment which is X. Making it no different than Windows Blinds.

Clearly you've never run into dependency hell on windows.
All of those media extensions and visual studio C++ additions and redistributables and dotnet and then you have to reboot between installing any one dependency and you don't get readable error messages, just for missing .dll files that Microsoft has removed the download from their page for in 2008 and installing the updated version causes a bsod and it removes your audio drivers on the next boot.

That's dependencies, windows style.

not to hurt my own side, but I've had a lot of stability issues with thunar on gnu/linux recently

I should probably be reporting the bugs but it doesn't always happen and I haven't gotten many concrete errors. It's often when copy/pasting files between two windows. I also had some weird hanging doing file transfers to a flash drive once. Really triggered me, so I've used ranger a lot more since that day. No issues there, so it's not actually a filesystem or IO issue.

Not at all the case... It was more that my answers were redundant and mostly related to the CLI.

>>57800480
can't speak for emacs really but I think vim is pretty easy to learn the basics of, and if you spend any real amount of time in it, learning more advanced techniques is pretty easy as well. The same logic applies to many of the bindings, so I actually often find myself lying awake in bed and wondering if certain things will work in vim, only to quickly use ssh from my phone and test them and see they work just as I expected.

>>57800513
This. I get into a lot more awkward situations both with family/friends and strangers because of being a GNU/Linux user.

>>57801114

I don't disagree, but when you're a for-profit company sacrifices have to be made in the name of anti-competitiveness.
You can still install emacs,vim, or VSCode at will. So ultimately irrelevant.

>Not at all the case
100% the case since you stopped after the two most basic bash commands followed by text editor and "LOL BASH HAS SO MANY COMMANDS"
CMD and especially PSH have all that and gratuitously more at this point. Microsoft hasn't been sitting around with a thumb up their ass for the last 36 years while unix commands slowly developed.

I realized you were one of the Windows users here who just shitposts about the good operating systems all day.

If I have to choose from your answers, I am implying a GNU/Linux distro works perfectly. Especially compared to Windows.

As for Hackintosh. I must agree the one time I tried it I had a lot of issues, but I have seen people have great luck with it, so it was clearly user error. I am willing to accept that and not pursue it further, as I don't have much need for Mac OS anyway.

>tons of amazing cli tools that work beautifully together along with your unix-like shell
I spent quite a while going from Linux to Windows learning powershell/.net and it has left me hating "UNIX" shells for being such a mess of random crap forced to be duct taped together. I use ipython as system shell on my linux boxes now after being enlightened by powershell.

What a bullshit challenge. Linux distriubtions are free, so any system can easily be set up to be a Windows/Linux system, or a Windows + Linux system as I have started calling it.

I will never pretend nvidia drivers work well. I use Arch and they are on a list of under 5 things that are horribly broken and cause me issues. It's a serious problem. Haven't spent much time with AMD hardware. Intel actually does work perfect in my experience.

>you can pretend battery life isn't shit
This one is a bit hard to respond to. Are you going to call it cheating if I mention things like powertop? I think some optimizations are done under the hood in Windows that have to be manually done in GNU/Linux, is all. I also think that you can have better battery life than on Windows after some tweaking. All my laptops are fairly old and don't have the most impressive battery life in general, though.

>you can pretend the gui isn't total shit
Like... all gui things? or desktop environments? This is a bit unclear. I will say the major DEs do all kind of have some issues. I've had a lot of fun since trying out openbox, though. It really breaks free from the restraints put on you when you try to copy Windows or whatever other OS. I don't need desktop icons or a start menu. A customizable menu for my shortcuts is neat. Everything being modular is neat. (for example my wallpaper is not part of openbox, a separate program displays it. This is awesome)

>you can pretend updates, just like on hackintosh, don't fuck up the entire system beyond repair sometimes and people just want to get shit done

This is another one I'm gonna contest. Updates rarely cause any issues. Most major things I've seen over the years were GTK breakage on Debian and Ubuntu, or as I mentioned further up, fucking nvidia. In general updating is quite fine and I do it at least once a day when I can remember to. I like to stay up to date and it hasn't come back to bite me so far. Maybe you've had a bad experience that I can't relate to, but it honestly feels like you don't use GNU/Linux.

I definitely felt some hatred toward Apple growing up in a mostly pro-Windows community, but after coming to my senses and finding GNU/Linux, I realized my ill feelings toward Apple were very illogical. I'm not going out and buying a Mac or anything, but they are certainly more pleasant to use than anything running Windows. I'm not actually a fan of their hardware really, but it's amazing how much stuff they have that GNU/Linux also has. With the age, perhaps I should say this in reverse, but coming from GNU/Linux, it was just neat to try some of the same things on someone's Mac and see how similar they were.

I spent the last year of high school reading man pages on the school macs in my downtime, or doing some maintenance on my servers at home since mac os comes with ssh out of the box. These probably seem like simple things, but I didn't used to know they were there and it was nice to see and use them.

Why do you have trouble talking about an OS without mentioning its hardware? Do you yell at anyone mentioning Plan 9 because nothing supports it?

We are talking about OS vs OS comparisons. Bringing up hardware is off-topic. It doesn't matter if you need* certain hardware to use one of the operating systems. That's a separate conversation, only relevant if the topic was broader or entirely different.

*You do not actually need Apple(R) hardware to use Mac OS, however there's not much point arguing this as someone else did further up. It is also not relevant to this thread considering we are talking about operating systems here.

you can run plan 9 in a vm with no haslle
there's literally no reason to run osx in a vm, the host os would be better

>You do not actually need Apple(R) hardware to use Mac OS
again, you're beyond retarded

>>57801533
>again, you're beyond retarded
Why are you ignoring the option of a 'hackintosh'? Apologies if you didn't know such a thing existed, but I find this unlikely.

>>57801542

because it's a pain to set it up, and updates break it
if you're denying this, again, you're a moron

i won't even mention the fact that only an idiot would run osx, the above fact is enough

>>57801567
I don't think it's a pain to set up, and even if it is, I don't see how that matters considering setup is a one time thing.

As for updates breaking it, I honestly have no idea, so I couldn't say.

>i won't even mention the fact that only an idiot would run osx, the above fact is enough

I hate that you think this way, but at least you saying it made me realize what sort of person I'm talking to. Maybe I can give up on trying to talk some sense into you now. I will probably think about you tonight as I fall asleep. I will be just a little bit frustrated and maybe have bad dreams, but I have to remind myself you're not worth it. It's too late for you and I have to accept that.

>>57801588
>As for updates breaking it, I honestly have no idea, so I couldn't say.
and yet, you still think you have a leg to stand on

>>57801595
Well, of course. Hardware isn't relevant to the conversation so I shouldn't have to defend installing it on non-standard hardware, just using the OS in general compared to another OS.

>>57801588
>i have no idea, so i couldn't say
then why the fuck do you mention hackintosh as a valid way to use osx? are you mentally retarded?

>>57801604
Well, you said you need Apple hardware to run their OS. This wasn't relevant to the thread or our sub-conversation, really, but it was wrong so I felt the need to reply. Whether or not it runs well or without issues is beside the point. I have little to no experience with it, so I can't say much anyway, however it exists and it works, so you were wrong. I had to let you know this.

>>57794354
C:\> msiexec.exe /i muh_warez.msi /qn

>>57801615
ok
>Whether or not it runs well or without issues is beside the point.
>let's list things you can do on Linux/macOS but can't on Windows
well, what i can do on mac os is run it like shit. you mean that point?

>>57801640
I don't know if I'm explaining this poorly or if you're the problem, but I just want to apologize for this painful exchange. I'm going to just leave you be now. This could probably go on forever and you seem to be quite stubborn. I probably shouldn't have come into this thread in the first place. /g/ has too many Windows users and they get irrationally angry when Mac OS is brought up.

>>57801658
i don't get irrationally angry. i'm not even angry. i'm just calling out bullshit when i see it. osx users fucking pretend that there's no problem with their bullshit

apple is like 3rd wave feminism

Windows supports using a shell other than explorer.exe

That work for you?

>>57794515
That's because Explorer runs all of its windows in a single process by default. There's an option to spawn a new process for each separate window if you so desire.

>>57795757

Because you were running in su mode and you typed /* instead of ./*

lol, so you just like xorg poop, right? You like that client\server poop on your desktop machine? You enjoy 10 ugly widget engines, you like that everything has to be configured separately, you enjoy bloated configs in xml, css, javascript. You basically love clusterfuck. This is it, you installed pooptoo. Linus uses Mac, he is smart enough to understand that startx command leads to an ugly bloatware world that nobody sane will use, its slow and shitty, nobody cares about GUI on poonix. Poonix is a kernel with libs and a bunch of console apps with dozens of parameters, you smelly cunts then create shitty python+gtk trash GUI for those console apps and when there are more than 2 of such crap you call this 'distributive'. Now you feel special, you need a domain name and a forum so that other nolife imbeciles could gather there and solve shitty problems that you created in the first place just by designing this clusterfuck that is called "distributive". Because of the trash design and technologies involved in this poonix GUI it slows your PC every year and forces you to buy new hardware, at least windows does it with new games and gfx. And you imbeciles do it with the next KDE\Gnome release, same fucking buttons since the 2000, and you manage to make it slower rewriting this trash like a nuts. MS does this to make money: remaking Office every N years and selling it again worldwide, but you do it just because you can't fucking move on and write something useful for the desktop, its a never ending clusterfuck machine of rewriting GUI toolkits and making cheap and slow software to create this illusion of "the year of linux desktop meme". Yeah, enjoy reading man and fucking with /etc/fonts/ dir, I know you like XML clusterfuck because you have nothing else useful to do in this life.

Jerk off to anime and shitpost on /g/

The difference is, at least you can read shit in OSX without getting a fucking headache and transferring your shit to a tablet instead.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>57802717
I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

But Xorg is generally speaking standard.
I've seen no reason to switch to the others when there's a perfectly stable Xorg available.

Not slowing down after months without a reboot.

You can make the most of your hardware, combine a nas, a media player and a workstation in a single machine.

This is often the cuckold's perspective, and what a lovely, satisfying and arousing point of view it is. There's something magical about seeing your Wife's ass cheeks spread wide open and another man's hard erection, covered in pussy cream, stuck way up inside your Wife's cunt.

Same goes for Linux. Good job nullifying yourself.
