Open source software is for people that have more time than money. An open source solution is usually a patchwork of mutually incompatible systems jury rigged together into a semi-workable solution. Finding how to assemble these random components into a working system takes time and effort. (Time is a cost just as money is a cost) "Ahh so I have a MySQL 4 database I'm not sure which connector I should use so I'll get the latest then I'll write some code..." then when I test it I find that the latest connectors only support the most recent version of MySQL and I have to find an older build of the connector but that version is full of bugs because no one tested it before they released it (which explains why there were 93 releases last year one per fucking bug apparently) and half the shit that is supposed to work doesn't (why would anyone need parameterized queries - just strcat a line of dynamic SQL together you pussy) so I have to re-code for bug avoidance purposes. After a few tries you'll successfully dodge all of the non-functional features and you'll cruft something together that functions (most of the time).
OR! I could skip all of that hassle and develop the whole thing in ASP.NET where the database was designed specifically to work with the web framework that was designed to work with the language that was designed to work with my development environment and it was all designed to run on my desktop OS which is BTW is similar to my deployment server OS and get the job done with zero hassle and in 1/3rd of the time. Oh but I'm an idiot because I paid a few hundred bucks for software! Microsoft really fucked me didn't they?

having a package manager>>anything lacking one.

Windows is the only decent gaming platform, so of course, it is OK at that (and there's Steam serving as a package manager in that case anyway). But it starts there, and ends there. For anything else, it's just entirely worthless.

Of course, you won't get why. You don't even get why you shouldn't take a shit on the street, poojeet.

>>59021825
What do you need a package manager for, and how is it a requirement?
Also Windows HAS package manager.

Microsoft is getting desperate, aren't they?

>>59021856
yes, microsoft is so frustrated over some shitty anonymous containment board with ~50 active users so it wastes it's assets to make these threads
Get real, stupid nigger. Linux IS SHIT and you're a fucking faggot for using it

>>59021842
>how is it a requirement?
One stop management of errything installed. Anything else is shit flinging ape tier.

>Windows HAS package manager
Windows store? Empty and useful as a eunuch's balls.
Also, what are third party repositories?

And package management is just a disqualifying start: lacking text file configuration and file abstraction of errything is just as much disqualifying.

>>59021980
>what is MSI
>what is MSI cli
> is just as much disqualifying.
because?
It all seems to be your opinion. If it works then why do you care so much about config files?

How do I disable updates on Windows 10 home? They keep rebooting my computer and resting my settings.

But now I have to restart the service to manually check for updates. This is objectively worse than any Linux distro.

>The IT department at the Vatican Library uses many open source solutions, Ammenti confirms by email. The Apache Hadoop distributed storage solution is one of the main components of the long-term digital conservation project. The library also runs many servers using the CentOS Linux distribution. The Vatican Library uses Postfix as its mail server, in combination with EFA to filter spam emails. The IT department uses GNU Zebra to manage its gateways.

So now I have to write scripts to do something that used to possible by selecting an item in a combobox?

>>59022429
No, you can also disable auto restart after updates via certain 3rd party applications or a simple registry edit
your question is not serious at all, but anyway: check out winaerotweaker

>>59022444

I have to install third party applications to restore functionality? Gee, Windows 10 sure isn't a timesink.

>>59022467
no, you can
>write a script
or
>untick one option in regedit
or
>pick one option in services.msc
or
>change one option in gpedit
or
>use 3rd party application

So much possibilites, so little usable brain in your head.

I can just do my computing and the OS doesn't get in my way. All the basic software is kept up to date by the distribution. The distribution has periodic stable releases and I can choose when to upgrade.

Whenever I learn how to use a program it usually sticks around for years and years instead of getting fucked up since the UI flavor of the day requires a rewrite.

The OS comes with a high quality terminal instead of some DOS level shit like on Windows. Even Microsoft knows it's shit since I hear they finally included bash on W10.

All I have to do is be sure to never pick up unsupported hardware.

"freedom" to do what stallman tells you to. He even takes away your freedom to call the OS you're using the way you prefer.

I use linux on my laptop for web browsing, basic text editing, network testing, and listening to music occasionally, although I usually use my phone or my desktop for that. For those uses, it's easier to use linux for a number of reasons.
