The problem with linux fanboys is that no matter how basic the task you're trying to accomplish, it will always be your fault, they are completely in denial.

Life is easier with Windows for 90% of the users.

Because when it's guaranteed to fuck up, there is no way to blame yourself because you had no say over the matter.

Sounds like an overdramatization to me... I only got a complaint that it didn't have 32bit versions of 1-2 libraries, after that it runs fine.

Skype is Microsoft's AIM or Yahoo IM.

And just as useless.

I absolutely hate Ubuntu users, /g/. I have never seen a group of people be so smug about something so stupid. Oh big fucking deal, you can use a newbie GNU/Linux distro. You’re not some elite hacker, faggot. Why don’t these
people man up and use a real distribution? I don’t get it. Why waste your time with Ubuntu at all? I mean, it’s not like you learn anything by using it. Everything has a GUI interface, updates are easy to get, and you don’t have to do anything on the command line if you don’t want to. What is this faggot shit? Ubuntu is too easy and it’s bringing complete retards into our GNU/Linux secret club. Why do we put up with this shit at all?

If you can’t sharpen your teeth on and use a real distribution, then you don’t deserve to use GNU/Linux at all.

Only superior computer users should be using a GNU/Linux operating system. Faggots and retards can stick to Windows or a Mac. I really think that you should be subject to an IQ test before you’re allowed to download a GNU/Linux distribution. Anyone under a 130 IQ should be rejected and told to never return. Even after the IQ test, if a person passed, they should be made to take a programming test. If they can’t write some simple programs in C, LISP, and Prolog they should be rejected. No exceptions.

What do you say, /g/? Are you with me? I’m sure rms would agree with me.

This... apt-get is the way to do it.

>>58063834
fuck off, the worst thing about Linux is the community are assholes. Linux is a great OS, far superior to anything else, but the people who use it are mostly assholes. Especially people who use Arch.

Do you realize the OP was the one basically calling the Linux community a bunch of fags? What are they supposed to do? This whole thread was bait to begin with but youre too autistic realize it. Stick to windows so you don't have to use too much brain power. It's obvious you don't possess a lot of it.

>>58063754
I've used Linux full time for 5 years but this desu

Try to install the new Skype beta for Linux. Not sure how good it is but at least it's not ancient. Skype stopped updating Linux client pretty much as soon as MS bought them.

>>58062674

sudo apt install skype

thanks for playing, try again tomorrow.

>>58066248
>Do you realize the OP was the one basically calling the Linux community a bunch of fags?

Faggot, you are on 4chan. That is a term of endearment here you fucking faggot.

>What are they supposed to do?

Showed him how to install without hassle like these guys. >>58066306 & >>58063890 (great examples of sophisticated 4chan users)

>Life is easier with Windows for 90% of the users.

As a power user working with Windows for 15 years, I strongly disagree. Having a terminal and package management with a system that is retard proof is very useful for me. I manage multiple systems for family and office. Windows is a fucking nightmare, one asshole gets malware despite having AV and firewall, then spreads it to others through USB sticks and we have to reinstall which takes 2-3 days at least.

The worst was this worm which hid all your files and created shortcuts which lead to nowhere blank folders.

>>58066331
One of the common mistakes made by Ubuntu users from other countries is selecting the server.

In the software sources, it selects the server based in your country which leads to errors and a whole lot of ass fuckery. Just switch to "Main Server" and refresh the apt cache.

Then install ubuntu-restricted-extras, I guarantee all your shit will work including drivers and video codecs for your default player.

>>58066399
The restricted-extras isn't installed by default to appease the GNU autists that REE at nonfree drivers

linux is fucking retarded, you can't just download an setup file and click to install it, instead you fuck around in the terminal just to do a simple installation.

>>58066347
Don't you know know what a "term of endearment" means? "faggot" is like calling your wife 'sweety' irl. A fucking faggot is like calling your wife 'my beloved darling'.

You fucking idiot anon, terms like 'fucking' just adds more verbosity to terms of affection like 'faggot' or 'shitfuck'

>>58063434
