Run my media and file server.

>>60325998
Install non - store programs

>>60325998
run on anything

used by retards that have no redeeming factors so they go on a Ugandan knitting forum to remind people that they use a better os

>>60326071
best answer so far

It's for neets and people who are not invited to cool parties.

>>60326071
I genuinly wonder how it's possible I've never heard or seen Linux (or Anime/OS as I've started to call it) in real life, yet it's all /g/ talks about.

>>60326085
Tfw use Linux exclusively, have a job, a girlfriend and get invited to parties because I'm not living in a third world country like murica where you can basically kill yourself when you're not a normie

>>60325998
Programming
Web server
Sql server
Firewall / router
Mail server
Dns server
Monitoring server
Load balancer
Web application firewall
NAS
Penetration testing tools

Also, you have 100% control, and it's free.

>>60326097
If you look correctly, all this thread is the same person, you are me and i'm you.

>>60326105
4 wizards with absolutely nothing better to do 24 hours a day every day than complain about OS's other than Linux and women with opinions.

>>60325998
Waste your time.

>>60326113
Did I just trigger you ? Hah

Tfw I use computers for work and let code monkeys do the hard part for me.
I also fuck weemens and don't fall for the GF meme

>>60326115
That sound so interesting wow

>>60326162
Yeah, it's not for plebs like you.

>>60326113
Because people on /g/ represent 0.0000001% of the world's population at max, and so is the chance to see a frequent visitor of this site in daily life

What a faggot

>>60325998
If (for example) the internet suddenly lacked all liniux servers, applications, etc. you'd basically be fucked.
For real.

>>60325998
I'm running factorio and openttd on my Linux server right now.

>>60326115
>Monitoring server
???

>>60326105
Lol, you probably use Linux without realising. Android phones run it, car entertainment systems run it, plane entertainment systems run it as well as the desktop OSes. Also it is used a lot in business as a free security desktop and most servers run it. Without it we would rely on the lack of innovation of Microsoft and Apple who also use it. Microsoft Azure for example and xserve is a steaming pile of expensive shit.

Ya 100% control on a completely exploited system.
Lmao

>>60326172
You notice this with how often you see the same tripfags

>>60325998

The important stuff, but for some reason manchildren want it to have locked down DRM baby toys now. Video games were a giant mistake.

>>60325998
Nice spacing is NOT one of them

>What CAN Linux actually do?
Making you life easier and provides the ultimate comfy experience

>>60326320
Like Nagios

>>60326134

oh cool man, how many women have you been with? that's so awesome!! what's it like??

>>60326479
In it's defence, the X11 crash message is uniquely awful.

>>60325998
Anything Windows can do, plus anything Windows can't do unless you pay for it separately. For example, coming with no ads, running a server, compiling C++ code that works with its own display manager, or being redistributed.

>>60326391
>Video games were a giant mistake.
FUCK YOU.
Video games are a FUCKING ART FORM you MINDLESS PIG.
Computer games will change the world.
Sincerely, a Linux user

>>60326375
>exploited
I don't think you understand what this word means
Allow me to clarify something you likely never had the opportunity to learn when working with Windows. When a system is exploited by the person who bought the damn thing and is sitting at its keyboard, we don't call it exploited. We call it used

>>60325998
Filter idiots.

>>60326175
>Holy shit so how can I OPEN SELECTED FILE WITH SPACEBAR IN WINDOWNS,
This is an undesirable feature. The space bar is too big.
>I WANT TO WORK WITH MANY WINDOWS OPENED
windows does that better
>YOU WANT TO HIDE EVERYTHING IN NOTIFICATION AREA?
this is a bad idea, windows only puts important message there
>WHERE ARE DRIVERS FOR MY NETWORK CARD?
wrong OS, only linux doesn't work out of the box with all network hardware
>WHY OBTANING LEGAL COPY WINDOWS IS SOO SHIT ON LAPTOPS?
pay the money you stupid commie
>YOU BUY PRODUCT WITHOUT SUPPORT!
that's your problem
>WHY I AM PAYING 4 PLN TO PHONE TO MICROSHIT TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS 7 HOMO EDITION?
you have to pay for things to own them, retards like rms who want to tell you otherwise are all evil communists who must be stabbed
>WHY I AM WAITING 3 SECONDS AFTER PLUG IN USB KEYBOARD DO WORK?
maybe because you're using an os that actually has more than one keyboard worth of drivers to dig through to open the right one
>USE ARCHIVE YOU LITTLE FAGGOT
linux arch is an evil socialist leftist os

>>60325998
Run really, really well. I install it on older computers I pick up because of how little it takes to run it

>>60326134
>making a distinction between work and the hard part of using a computer
>implying the hard part of using a computer doesn't deserve to be called work
that's fucking rude!!!!!

>>60326105
basically anything not clearly running windows or osx is running linux

>>60326932
I still haven't found a better OS to install on an oldish laptop than Windows XP though

>>60326105
>I genuinly wonder how it's possible I've never heard or seen Linux
That's because you are a pleb.

>>60326615
it's because the messages were drawn while X was closing, the framebuffer was resized, causing some parts to be improperly positioned
