At what age did you outgrow your edge Linux phase?

18

Then started using it again at 25 because coding is comfier

Now, when will you realize that you are a pathetic fuck shilling for Microsoft for free?

Outgrew windows at the age of 25 when I grew out of video games.
10 years of Linux.

I do graphic design with a bunch of Adobe shits, so never got to be an edgy linux fag

Linux cut me down to size pretty quickly in my early teen years after I tried installing Redhat on my grandmother's computer and ended up deleting all the partitions and panicking not knowing how to fix it.

Now in my 30's I still have a sort of primal fear of partitioning thanks to that incident.

Linux just works better for my needs

>>59998977

This is what freetards actually believe.
Linux is one size fits all everywhere but the desktop. Why waste time with Linux on the desktop when you can just SSH into a Linux machine from a Mac or Windows machine? Even Red Hat employees realise that this is the way to go.

>>60004434
>Linux is one size fits everywhere but the desktop
You're right. You really can't do much with just a kernel on a desktop.

I moved from being a 100% linux user to a Windows user after I realized Free Software isn't as perfect as I would like to believe. Nobody wants to work collaboratively, developers keeps hurting the community by "me too" just because they want to be a leader and not working on what really matters, and a shitty community of users who suck Stallman's ass even if he is pretty much wrong and out-of-touch with what professionals really need.

I stoppped fucking with my time and since then, I use Windows. I still use Linux a lot, because work, but it will never be my main desktop again. Windows does an excellent job on the Desktop, while I use Linux on virtual machines or through SSH.

>>59998304
I'm actually going into that phase now at age 24 because W7 support is going to get axed soon and those NSA hacking tools getting released make me nervous. Even though I use my computer all day the tasks I actually use it for are so limited that there's no reason for me to not be using Linux instead since I get to do everything I normally would but with no backdoor for Bill Gates to look into my machine. It's taken quite a while to set up the way I want it to be but I suppose that's because I'm using Arch.

18 - replace arch with debian
-only mildly rice it
-stop posting in desktop threads
-start just working on things I care about
-adobe products pretty useful, spent most time in windows
-decide to remove linux altogether, run debian in virtual machine on windows if needed
19
-not as much need for adobe products
-more need for python and bash and generally comfy coding environment
-install ubuntu 16
-don't even attempt to rice at all
-literally still have default desktop background
-use windows occasionally if I need something on it
-95% of time spend in ubuntu, just working on things I care about

so thats basically it - linux allows you to learn, and may or may not have use for you

On Linux, I can't just spontaneously decide to install and play any game without having to fucking tinker Wine. (I'm not gamer but sometimes I just feel like playing a round). I can't produce music because 99% of all plug-ins aren't available. I can't use Adobe products with GPU acceleration. It's a fucking time sink.

Must suck to be too poor for a Mac.

I started my edgy phase in high school with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and used all Ubuntu versions all the way until Unity and GNOME Shell arrived, which made me switch to KDE and realize that it was a broken piece of shit on everything but OpenSUSE, so I switched to it. Time went on and I felt I wasn't being edgy enough, so I switched to Manjaro, which lasted about a week on my computer because its update cycle is retarded. I tried to install Antergos but I couldn't get the installer to work, so I installed Arch, which really says something about the garbage Antergos is. I used Arch for a long time until having to manually merge the new conf files on every update pissed me off, so I went back to Xubuntu, because it just werks. I stayed with it until a year ago when I finally outgrew my edgy Linux phase and installed FreeBSD.

I had been suffering with Slackware and then Debian for about 10 years before I started watching Bryan Lunduke's Linux Sucks lectures and realized that every year that was going by the same fucking problems still existed on Linux that were around when I first converted. I realized that neither OS was perfect and decided to just dual-boot on my main laptop and use Windows exclusively on my gaming rig.

>>60010424
Meh, Brian was bitching about no wayland a few years back, which is not an issue anymore.

Same with audio issues but Lennart actually solved the problem. My windows laptop is catching the dust for the last two years

Coding is better at linux and I have zero distractions and it runs well in my old laptop, but if I had the money I would buy a MacBook pro and use osx.

edge isnt released for linux yet so i cant outgrow it

im sticking with firefox thx

I tried multiple times, but honestly just found it wasn't worth it. I spent more time fixing very, very basic shit that you would expect to work "out of the box" than I did actually using my computer normally.
Don't get me wrong, Windows is still a piece of shit, but things tend to at least work, even if they don't work terribly well.
Linux has very little middle ground. Either shit works much better than the equivalent would in Windows or it just doesn't work at all and you have to spend hours tinkering to get it to work. I'd rather the consistent mediocrity of Windows.

Used Linux from 2004 - 2011.

Bought a Macbook for battery life and build quality with the intention of installing Linux on it, but found it was perfectly fine as is. Still using the Macbook as my main, so it turned out to be a good investment after all. I also have a small netbook with OpenBSD on it, which I like more than Linux. It's far less complex.

Even though it wasn't intentional, I jumped ship right before systemd took over. I read what kinds of issues Linux niggers are dealing with these days and it makes me shake my head.

Even if it blew up tomorrow, six years would be a respectable lifetime for a laptop. Though I plan on using it for a decade+ if possible.

There are probably some gimmicky new features that my model is already arbitrarily locked out of. I don't care though.

>>60013972
Anyway when my Macbook ceases to be usable I will probably just go full OpenBSD instead of going back to Linux.

That would mean losing compatibility with my iPhone and iPad, but they are also around six years old. My hope is that we will see genuine free-as-in-freedom mobile devices sometime in the near future. I can't trust Android.
