>>58454826
the answer to that is to keep improving the platform and gaining ground inch by inch. market share has been climbing pretty steadily as of late and that's no coincidence.

theoretically, there should be a "critical mass" point after which growth accelerates rapidly. if we had so many devs hopping on at <2% imagine what 15% or more could do.

or it could wither and die. I don't know. I can't see the future.

Yeah you might be right, what distro is that?

Windows assumes I'm an idiot and treats me as such. It has done so in every version from 3.1 through 10, and the reason for it is simple: It's built for idiots. It's built with the ASSumption that users are incapable of fixing errors themselves. Why bother giving them meaningful error messages? They're too stupid to interpret them anyway. Just say the wifi connection "could not be established", that'll do.

I used Arch for 6 years and I'm even on their donor's page but once you get a little older, fiddling with config files loses its luster. I really hope this doesn't make you think less of your stunning achievement.

>>58457278
Well I'm either going to fiddle with config files after installing arch or fiddle with them after installing something else and deleting the defaults. Arch just has more up to date packages, more of them, and a better wiki in case something does go wrong.

Also always back up your home folder.

>>58456469
This is false. Windows has no GPU drivers (not even generic ones), and no ethernet or wifi drivers at all. So you literally have to use a second machine to download them to be able to use internet. Tested all this on latest windows 7 on professional and ultimate, also tested on w10. Multiple computers and laptops. And this is a problem every time on a clean install.
So, you keep killing your own arguments, pajeet. Windows is useless without another PC. Unlike, let's say, Ubuntu, which provides GPU drivers for majority of cards and all connectivity drivers you'll ever need. It's very rare for something not to work there.

Even if something doesn't work on Linux it's easy to just paste a line or two of "code" and everything is done for you automatically. While on windows you have to hunt down drivers manually at first and install them, hoping they work because windows handles drivers shitty and doesn't give you any relevant information about anything. So good luck with pajeet tech support at Microsoft helping you if something goes wrong. Also, say good bye to updates in 5 years unless you use backdoors 10.

>>58457305
Yeah, I can pretend to be a cool kid to if I wanted to.

>>58457441
Well this is also false xD
With 2 of my usb wifi adapters both of them worked out of the box with Windows but not under linux and I had to run ethernet through my house to install non-free firmware(which then needed some configuration instead of just clicking on the setup.exe) and then it caused huge lag spikes in CSGO because said drivers were shit.

>>58457501
You should always do this, to avoid looking like a shithead!

>>58457441
Except that's complete bullshit. Windows 7 and 10 both have built-in drivers FOR THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF RELEASE.

Windows 10 has most drivers for wifi and ethernet since it was released in 2015. You should not expect Windows 7 to have drivers for jack shit, since it was released in 2009. The Linux kernel was still on version 2.6.22 with most distros still using 2.3.something, which ALSO didn't have drivers for jack shit. Go on, try to install Ubuntu 9.04, see how much of your shit works. I'll wait.

>>58457555
To add to this, gigabit ethernet was popularized in 2010, so no, windows 7 will not work with your ethernet controllers out of the box either.

That's just what happens when you use extended support OSs. This is also why having proper backup software is important, so you only ever have to do this shit once.

>>58456867
>It's built with the ASSumption that users are incapable of fixing errors themselves.
If this is true why do i get so much money for constantly fixing other people's windows machines?
I recommend linux to my relatives and friends and it reduces a lot the maintenance burden, their machines works for years without hassle. For other people they're constantly paying to get their windows problems fixed. Having good error messages and being average joe friendly is not mutually exclusive.

>>58456905
>muh third parties
you utterly missed the point didn't you

>>58457630
>reduces a lot the maintenance burden, their machines works for years without hassle.
I read this a lot, exactly what maintenance does Windows require?
I don't have an antivirus, no "tuneup" type of tools, defrag, cleaner or whatever you want and I fill it with a lot of garbage that most users like relatives won't even do to the system.
And my install is still fast after almost 2 years.

>>58457530
>USB wifi
They work differently you idiot. All USB device drivers are installed offline from the actual device. Laptops use on-board wifi and don't have this privilege, they can't use internet at all. And you also completely ignore the ethernet not being supported.
I experienced the opposite problem. Linux worked with my USB wifi while windows kept disconnecting every minute or two. Stop spreading false information, unless you use literal chink shit your drivers will work on Linux.

>>58457555
Except you claimed windows 7 has all drivers, right here >>58456333. When your only option is either the outdated W7/8 or literal malware W10 I can't see why you'd still use anything made by Microsoft.

>>58457555
>The Linux kernel was still on version 2.6.22 with most distros still using 2.3.something, which ALSO didn't have drivers for jack shit.
But now they do and it can be installed for free and without any need to accept asinine TOS. Windows 10 upgrade was being given for free but a lot of people is rejecting it similarly as how it happened with w8, people still recommends windows 7 over 8 and 10 so the problem still stands. Not only that but i have tried windows 10 and sometimes it doesn't even have the fucking ethernet driver and the compatibility with old hardware is vastly inferior to linux's.

>This is also why having proper backup software is important, so you only ever have to do this shit once.
Stating this is ironical because the most common argument against linux is "fucking linux users always says it's user's fault, that's why linux will never be relevant", now you're telling me a problem on windows is fault of the user? now what? windows will never be relevant on the phone?

>>58457761
That ain't me jackoff.

>>58457673
>exactly what maintenance does Windows require?
It degrades over the time, maintaining you applications updated is hell if you don't want to have a lot of background processes running, it needs to be reinstalled often.

>And my install is still fast after almost 2 years.
Sorry, that's not my experience. Good for you if you can cope with it but windows wasn't supposed to be the average joe-friendly os?
