Sometimes, and then I'm reminded exactly why when I have to help one of my relatives with Windows 10.

>>60180739
>Linux
Linux is a kernel. Do you mean GNU/Linux? Because if so, then I do sometimes. I remember that I have been pressured into using a computer from an early age and that using free software is the only way to take my computing back for my own purposes, rather than serving someone else.

>>60180739
because i also have a windows box, and administrating it makes me drop kick a baby

>>60180785
This. The girlfriend has a W10 laptop and fucking hell when I have to help her with something on it I have to fight a powerful urge to get the noose out.

Why not
go fuck yourself then you will have the answer

At this point 4chan should just require ID.

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.

this is the most unrealistic bit

how am i supposed to believe someone who unironically uses linux is supposed to be married to this

>>60180928
You're right, GNU/Linux users deserve 9s and 10s, not 6s and 7s like the one you posted.

>>60180739
No. Actually the real question I usually ask is:
>Why am I even running Windows?
And more often than not the answer is vidya.

Or getting anything done that requires something other than a web browser, really.

i have a literal phd in computer science from an ivy league institution, and it doesn't make rubbing my face with a cheese grater or administrating windows any less painful

>>60181278
And the redpilled losers cry and whine all day coming up with excuses why women won't even look at them. You gotta stay in your league.

>>60181430
That's great, but if you're too inept to run Windows at this point, you may want to rethink your career.

They got me hooked because it is so much more fun to use, but I stayed because of the freedom.
I guess ethics start to matter as you get older.

I recommend using Windows 10 Professional for the best personal computing experience possible.

You may be falseflagging, but you're 100% right.

No thanks Shlomo. Now get of here stupid Micro$oft shill.

What about my post even remotely evokes that I think that?

>>60180739
Every time I have to deal with getting a Windows box up and going again I remember why I hate Windows.

Ah, the Linux LGBT community - I love it. Count me in.

>>60181453
Not him, but no one in academia or research runs Windows. It's literally garbage.

No, because I don't use Linux.

But I do ask myself every day why I don't. I should really stop putting it off, I'm just lazy.

>>60181974
Heh, even Carmack doesn't use Linux for desktop use. It's literally garbage.

Because he has money.

>>60182230
Because it's a TV show.

>>60181022
This is true for me infinitely. I use Windows simply because GNU/Linux does not offer the same kind of game support despite Windows in general being shitty bloated garbage that has more issues than a libarts student. Consumer-level work, coding, shitposting on an internet image board, looking at porn, I do all of these easily on the Linux kernel without sacrificing resources and freedom. But if I want to sit down and play some PC games? I'm gonna boot up my Windows rig for that shit.
