If Linux is so good, why do people in poor countries rather pirate Windows than use free Linux?

Poor people's time is worthless, so they spend it on video games that require Windows.

Poor people doesn't get education, they're usually technologically ignorant adults or stupid kids.

That's difficult? It's harder to make boot media out of a flash drive than it is to find a Windows activation crack. They're both fucking easy but still.

Same reason niggros go into hawk to have iPhones, they think $$$$=everything. Surely, a free product can't be any good, right? I mean, look at all of the free applications you can get for Windows...
>>
>>60055966
The thing is you don't even have to crack it or anything, you can just install whatever copy of Windows and use it normally, save for a little box on the corner of the screen asking you to "activate".
>>

i was born and live in a poor country
i've pirated windows
i am using gnu plus linux

>save for a little box on the corner of the screen asking you to "activate".
If you're lucky, like I was, an update will break that. I'm on 10 Pro, and the Creators update came along and I can now change my themes and the watermark went away. It's the first time I've actually been pleased with Windows 10.

If Linux is so bad then why do rich, educated engineers prefer to use Linux instead of expensive OS like Windows and macOS?
>>
To pirate is when one takes licensed disc, cracks it, makes many copies of it and sells. To pirate means to risk and to take any efforts. People now just copy ready packs of software through Internet and push Install.exe, no more. Water and electricity always find easier way.
>>
Voluntary Windows users trigger me REEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>60055823
Windows is a more lucrative family of OS's as far as tech support scamming goes, so you need the proper tools to do it.

they use whatever work requires

Nigga do you even third world country?

Most people here are dumb af, there are a few that know some stuff but some of they are only smart to enough to download a torrent and install windows.

So it's easy to make bank on tech support, the other day I "repaired" a laptop just by changing a wifi a password
>>
>>60056079
Doesn't mean that they use it, regardless of skin color really. Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people.

If you wanna use Linux you often go thru softeare like Windows the basics of computing. If you feel strong enough and are raged by bad things in Windows, then often you willfull choose Linux. That was my story.
>>
>>60055966
Most of them don't pirate it themselves. You have no idea of how many times my brother and I had to install pirated windows for others.
>>
>>60055823
Linux was shit for playing SA:MP or Warcraft 3 and that's after affordable DSL spread. Before that nobody even knew what that shit was. It still is regarded as shit because people know a fucking 20 yo fag made the kernel for the keks, not a respected company.
btw, people from poor countries who have been pirating XP yesterday are taking your jobs today. You happy faggot? ;)
>>
>>60055823
I don't even know why I use I Linux. /g/ said to use it, and I thought I liked it, but now I'm just too lazy to switch back. I like using gcc and g++, though.

I am pretty sure that they just go to an independent IT shop.

>want everything to be open source

what the fuck is wrong you people

All software should be free. I don't give a fuck how devs are paid.
>>
>>60055823
>If Linux is so good, why do people in poor countries rather pirate Windows than use free Linux?

Because they have never gotten to use it or haven't even heard of it, just like most normies in first world countries.

>>60055966
>but smart enough to pirate windows?

In 3rd world shitholes there are usually people who sell pirated software and movies on every fucking street corner. In South America for example you get a pre-activated copy of Windows, Office, Photoshop etc. for about $2 fucking everywhere.
>>
>>60058999
Just reverse search it you retards.
>>
>>60058930
Thank
>>
>>60055966
You can buy Computers preinstalled with pirated Windows. And any local tech shop or IT guy will install it for you.
>>
>>60055904
So why is windows so dominant in rich countries too?
>>
You get what you pay for, even when stealing you get what you would have paid for.

Also whilst GNU/Linux is free as in beer and free is in free-speech it is not free as in free-time.

>Happily ever after

Yea bullshit. People that get things handed to them end up being consumed by vanity and are unhappy people because their appetite for it will always grow and will never be satisfied.
>>
>>60066167
This. Did you know that the total cost of ownership (TCO) for Linux is over TEN TIMES as high as a comparable Microsoft system? Or that Linux software infringes on now fewer than 235 Microsoft patents?

Ask for genuine Microsoft software today.
>>
>>60066361
Thank You, Microsoft Sales Assistant Manager.
Now please leave my office I have I real meting with the folks at Red Hat.

>>60055823
I think only people who don't have a career in tech ask these sort of stupid redundant questions about Linux and act like Linux is some niche hobby OS.

Linux is everywhere if you work in the bay, it's the core infrastructure for like 65% of companies and for the other 35% it features prominently in their stack somewhere.
>>
>>60055966
they don't pirate it, they buy the shittiest low tier crap that ships with windows.
home licenses for windows is an insignificant part of the money microsoft makes, they are trying to make it more profitable now by including advertising and a store for applications.
besides that pirating windows is very easy, perhaps possibly bypassing the activation in a good way, but remember that these are the same users that install a dozen different "pc cleaner" and other nagware, so they think thats just how it's supposed to be, and they only read the buttons in dialog boxes
>>
>>60066211
>instagram slut
>live happily ever after
If you thing life ends mid 20s I'll grant your point. Otherwise pick one
>>
>>60055823
Because its literally easier to pirate Windows than actually register Windows.
>>
>>60066519
these sluts earn millions of dollar from advertising companies and high end brands to shill their products. They are set for life if they do it properly.
>>
>>60066582
This is like saying that anyone who plays soccer or football is set for life for being in a big team. Not everyone is Beckham, Brady or the Kardashians. Very few will earn big bucks, most will do meh and will have to find a real job or become a gold digger at some point

I'm a huge animefaggot who hates 3D and she's at least 8/10, don't be like that

Agree with the rest though
>>
>>60066672
I'd say a 7
>>
>>60066672
>>60066679
She's cute, but I find that redness in her cheeks off-putting. Still would fuck her tho
>>
>>60066679
>>60066672
>>60066698
makeups automatically deduct 3 points from a bitch
>>
>>60066742
Yeah, I don't want her to by my gf or the mother of my children. I just want to fuck her.
>>
>>60066742
I agree, but you gotta take butt, tits, eyes and other stuff into consideration.

Plus, it's not like she wears gigantic earrings, has long neon green fingernails or anything like that. I've seen worse makeup in my life. She's got a no-makeup makeup pic in her profile and she still looks cute.

>>60066679
7 is 2 points over the average of 5.
>>
>>60055823
Poor people don't have money so they might as well use a pirated installation with keyloggers and spyware since there's nothing to steal from them.
And NSA or whatever ever other burger alphabet agency does not care to use the backdoors on them,so they are immune from the American surveillance.

They may as well use Windows since it works better.
>>
>>60055823
Because they desperately want to be 1st world normies.

hmm.. you are right my dude. I stand corrected.
>>
>>60066139
So the normies working desk jobs don't freak out. I worked at an eyeglass shop that had Linux thin clients. The desktop was altered to act as much like Windows XP as possible.
>>
>>60055823
Because it works
>I use loonix, therefore I'm smart and productive is just a meme
>>
>>60067018
Oh, I thought it was because most usable/productivity software is available for Windows
>SAP has integration problems with Open/LibreOffice
>>
>>60055823
Idk man but that's not true - my country is considered a second world country because it's fresh ex-communist that had a very weak economy and took lots of time to start fixing it up and just these days it's approaching a normal state.

But ever since I was a little child people used linux, every computer geek, hacker, programmer I knew as a kid used linux a lot and nowadays I go to computer shops and see laptops and desktops sold with ubuntu.. it's amazing.

t. Romanian.

>>60067138
I still remember my cousin telling me install Gentoo every time, before I even knew about 4chan and the meme.. it was actually a fact lol.
>>
>>60066211
>5/10
pic related, is you
>>
>>60055823
Because most people, even the poor are normies and Windows is the only only OS normies know about

windows keeps getting worse while linux is just getting better and better

it won't be long

Because windows is actually useful
