Then you're too retarded to use it.
A rat can't make a computer werk, therefore, you are a rat.

I you don't like go back to your BOTNET and stop complaining. Its everyday with this shit.

It does.

It's that easy. If it isn't, it's your fault.

Nice damage control, linuxfags

>>58655162
>damage control
that's the best part. there is no damage in linux. it works out of the box and installs in 10 minutes. so while I'm already shitposting and watching anime, wincucks are still looking up which drivers they need or maybe even stuck at "Expanding Windows Files".

>>58654578
I am faggot !

I cannot find solution my brain is too little but my ass is wide open

>>58655223
>so while I'm already shitposting and watching anime
Yep. Linux was made only to watch some shitty Chinese cartoons and shitposting, while Windows is used, other than that, for games, profession software like Autocad and 3dmax.

>>58655340
b-but linux is used in supercomputers and servers therefore i am superior to you for using it.

Gentoo just werks

>>58655340
linux is the de facto standard in science applications and for regular desktop use it's at least as capable as windows. it performs just as well if not better on every application windows is typically used for except for gayming.

>>58655223
you can't be serious

>>58654578
>It doesn't "just work"
FTFY

>>58655397
but I am. I have installed Windows probably 100 times by now and I can remember maybe 10 occasions on which the installation didn't break at least once, not to mention driver problems after installation.
linux has always worked so far. installed it, worked, happy.

>>58655423
>too retarded for windows
>yet can use linux
I thought everyone here used Linux because they were too smart for windows...

>>58655851
if you have ever installed windows you know that you always, 100% of the time, will have to solve problems. I'm not saying it's hard, it's just annoying and the outcome is an unstable system that works for the enemy and is outdated by 10 years. not with linux.

>>58655066

I thinkk he's trolling. Because Mac OSX "just werks"

>>58655359

if you work with submitting calculations to supercomputers via sftp on your linux cluster, you might as well use a linux machine yourself. The majority of the researchers I know that do high performance computations (mostly for chemistry, enzymology, etc.) use linux because it's easier to communicate with the supercomputers and there's more science software that works on linux natively. The only thing you don't have is word (use LaTex) and excel (use some other shit).

>>58654578
No only that, that hobby OS also has telemetry, into the trash it goes.

If your wifi adapter is semi-old and it's never going to get a new driver, is there any benefit to adding a ppa for it, or just download the package straight up from the site?

>>58655387

this. Linux is for scientists & programmers.

>>58655359
Do you have a supercomputer or a server ? i dont think so.Stop being such a fag

The company I work for switched to Linux for all tasks 5 years ago and that made me switch too. Our IT department is now half the size (so you could criticize Linux for not breaking down often enough to provide jobs for IT people). Now, they're pretty much only responsible for maintaining our custom Debian based distribution. Before you ask, no, I'm not working in IT. I just like computers. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.

>>58656096
Linux is perfectly suited for Office Work. Libre Office and Open Office are pretty good office suites and from a company's point of view, being independent from Microsoft is a huge plus. Linux lacks in media creation (video editing, graphic design etc.) compared to Windows and MacOS though. In gaming it does become increasingly better with a hand full of AAA titles available but it has a long way to go, especially concerning graphics drivers.

y'know, I've spent years dicking about occasionally installing a distro here and there or dual-booting and it's never really stuck.

I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Crunchbang to name a few. I've always wanted to use Linux full time but it's always been a ballache for some reason or another and they've always eventually been supplanted by 'doze.

Until very recently, when I tried Arch.
No word of a lie, after following the install guide, I have a working distro that isn't full of shit. Networking drivers just worked, video drivers just worked. Now been running it for three months, no issues.

Arch is fucking glorious.

I'm glad you're on the Arch train but if you every get tired of configuring everything on new installs, check out Antergos.

Why are winbabbies eternally butthurt about Linux? At least when Linux autists shitpost about Windows, they include pics showing how objectively shit Windows.

At least post a kernel panic or something. You can choose whatever DE/WM you want in Linux so if your DE looks shitty, that's because you decided to choose a shitty looking DE.

is it easy to remove partitions from linux? windows 10 went belly up somehow, so i installed ubuntu to recover my files, and now that i have everything off of this, i want to wipe the drive clean, but i have no idea how.

It doesn't come with much usable software. Even the version of Office that comes with it is crippleware that doesn't even let you use more than 2/3 of the screen.

try and stop me

>>58655124
This was my path experience Linux. I simply installed it, explored the desktop environment and used it.

>>58654578
I just installed linux and ticked the box that said Nvidia proprietary drivers and everything just worked. Didn't even have to manually download any drivers

>>58655066
shill posts are very blunt

most important thing is to get the negativity out there - thread header ...
there is a quota of meaningless threads every day that must be filled

>>58655162
ok ... another thread with no effort. the followup from their meaningless single line "damage" thread header ... "nice damage control" .. more negativity. as if they have hordes of people agreeing with them

keep saying it ..

"linux doesn't work"
"linux is slow"
"linux isn't ready for the desktop"

puerile.

>>58655906
install it and two weeks later it will blow away all your drivers; your ongoing work with a forced "update" ... windows is the lowest quality platform on the market .. why they are shilling here ... keep they myth going - keep throwing money at it.

Every system doesn't just werk.

Windows: Have to find proper drivers, in my case default WHQL ones aren't exactly that good, have to find good programs (good luck with that), have to install software that takes a fucking year to install even on SSD because it's "professional"

Linux: Have to find alternative for this, alternative for that, alternative for the other thing, by the way you gotta do manually what you used to do automatically here and there, by the way remember that feature from your piece of hardware? Yeah, not supported entirely

Hackintosh: Hey it's cool, your everything -almost- works, but oh shit your line in jack doesn't work

Worst part...
You have to update.
Now you could rely on every tool you own to have an automatic update feature or you have to manually update every part individually.

>>58658467
if you are too retarded to disable uac, then please use an other OS which is not windows.

also vs 10-15gb and you get c++, c#, js, python etc.

also git installer for windows asks if you want to add it to your path, but you are too idiot to read and tick a checkbox.

so im just laughing at your miserable misadventures with windows
