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.

>>59678251
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

pls stop posting disinformation

>>59676685
Because of vidya @ 1440p144FPS.
Because of software like Photoshop CC, Premiere Pro CC, Vegas 14, foobar2000, Shadowplay & Notepad++.
And because Windows just works, and if it doesn't it literally takes few seconds to fix something unlike on GNU/+Linux where I'd spend hours on finding a solution for something.

>inb4 get called a manchild because I have fun in vidya with friends
>inb4 freetards start recommending their garbage FOSS alternatives
>inb4 get called a retard because I don't spend 24 hours on my PC daily learning a garbage "OS" like GNU/+Linux or whatever you faggots call it

Because I was busy as shit all week and all I had the time for was download the image and stick it on a bootable drive. Now I'm gonna be using this drive over the weekend.

Wish me luck I guess.

>>59676685
Linux can't 144 Hz, absolute no go

can only go up to 120

also /csg/ graphics tablet for osu doesn't have Linux drivers even if I could get it to 144

>>59676685
overwatch
literally only reason, otherwise I'd arch fulltime

>>59678529
Shadowplay sucks compared to most Video Capture Software on Linux
Notepad++ is a Joke
Photoshop runs through Wine just fine
Foobar is a valid point, but you will never be as cool as me playing my Music through emacs
Games @ 1440p144FPS run fine through a virtual machine with GPU pass through
Don't know about the other Stuff, am no Editor or Designer

And lastly
Problem with Windows: Have to reinstall the System
Problem with Linux: Copypasta from Arch wiki and everything werks again

>>59678756
Do you have an Integrated Graphics an an External?

>>59676685
How THE FUCK can you get a bottom right corner button to show desktop, middle-button click to scroll and calibrate the Mouse speed correctly?

Because Ubuntu is fucking crap and I still want something to dual boot Win7 for muh games and am too stupid for something like Arch.

>>59676685
I have a brain, so I run Linux as a Hyper V virtual machine like anyone else who's not completely retarded.

>>59679126

I don't know that much about Linux but I know Arch is bleeding-edge which is what I don't want, I just want stable and GUI's and something for morons like me.

>>59679468
Install Xubuntu.

>>59676685

I did, I also tried Kubuntu and different versions and it's trash. Always crashes, errors, corrupt partitons, locking me out when I try to install a graphics driver, etc.

lol its not 1998 anymore, grampa.

>>59679513
k pajeet

>>59676685
Yes I have

No games

>>59676685
I have. Several times. I always run into something way more bothersome than Windows and i end up switching back.

If you faggots want people to make the switch, stop making obscure forks and fix whatever already kinda works.

>>59676685
Because Linux sucks.

>>59676685
Because Wine is pretty unreliable, and I don't really like wasting my time configuring stuff. After a year of using ubuntu, and having to go back to W10, it's honestly not that bad. You guys are really hyperbole when it comes to the pros/cons of operating systems.

>all these Linux posts

I don't want to start my own thread, so I'm asking-

How can I get a decent gaming PC, spending the least amount of money and not having to build again?

I'm perpetually lazy.

Sounds like you installed a literal virus OS.

Kubuntu is shit all the same.

This here.

I can use it well it enough for daily tasks but once you get deep there are niggling issues all around.
