As I see, nobody here likes Windows and say's it's shit. Why so? I didn't follow tech news for year's, but as I remember Linux was inferior when it comes to gaming and program compatibility? Questions I want answers for are:
>Why Linux is better
>What is wrong with windows
>What's the point of having two OS in one PC if windows can do everything anyway
>Why Linux is so complicated (Sudo and other crap)
>what are the differences in security
>Is Linux a good option if I like gaming sometimes
My PC's hardware is
>RX480 8GB
>I5 6600k
>16GB DDR4
>Z170P board
So In essence - why am I called retard for using windows?

I run Steam on Linux. Get rekt.

Linux is a hacked piece of shit.

Use proper OS's like Windows or Mac OSX.

And I run everything pirated so I need win. Go suck someone off.

If you can't uncuck yourself from videogames, keep using windows.

Can anyone just provide simple answers and not play "smart guy"..? What if I am ok to give up on vidya? Then what, what benefits would I have switching to Linux?

That's the right answer though.
Linux is superior for everything but videogames.

Steam is a distribution platform, I thought you knew what games were.

>>60485782
So continue using windows then, what the fuck is your problem? It's still a shit OS.
>>
>>60486066
Yes?

>>60486117
Adults have to work you retard.

>>60486225
then get back to work you lazy piece of shit, stop shitposting on the company dime
>>
>>60486120
You don't seam to get it. My problem is that every time there is a talk about pc's most anons will go "ha ha stupid win user" and so on. I'm not even arguing, all I want is someone to explain why so many of ((you)) chose Linux over Win. That's it.
>>
>>60485683
Basically this >>60485739 just keep using Windows if it works for you, the thing is that Lunix users have massive autism and insecurity so they're the most vocal about "hurr windows is shit" or "lmao games grow up" and they need constant validation from regularly fixing their broken PajeetOS.

What are breaks?

Nobody here can speak on everyone's behalf. There isn't a single reason to use Linux over Windows, or vice versa. You know this already, so stop pretending to be retarded in order to bait.

I use Linux because I grew up with it, used it for university and use it at work. That's my personal reason to use Linux.

From an objective point of view, it runs on a gorillean platforms and is well-suited as a server os, embedded os, super computer os, mobile os, etc. It's more customisable, every part of it is can be swapped interchangeably.

It's free as in freedom, and open source.

It has way more applications and libraries, more than you can imagine. People like to focus on cherrypicked applications such as specific games, or specific video/photo editing software, or specific CAD programs, but in reality, there is a larger variety of software and drivers out there for even the most obscure purpose.

It's objectively a better os, not only as an allrounder but also for specific tasks.

Nobody is saying that you personally should use this os or that os. Use whatever you want, and don't care what fucking names the children on /g/ call you. They are literally a bunch of random strangers, what the fuck do you care?
>>
>>60486120
Because there are a lot of games compatible with Linux in steam right?
>>
>>60486535
230 out of 255 games in my steam library works on Linux, so based on that experience I'd say yes.

>Why Linux is better
>What is wrong with windows
These questions are asked daily, check the archive for more comprehensive responses

>What's the point of having two OS in one PC if windows can do everything anyway
What's the point of having Windows on your PC if Linux can do everything anyways?

>Why Linux is so complicated (Sudo and other crap)
You trade simplicity for configurability

>what are the differences in security
Windows has more security problems, but Linux isn't a magic solution. You still have to put in effort in securing your machine.

>Is Linux a good option if I like gaming sometimes
Depends on what you play, but probably not

"Work"
>shitty graphical drivers
>having 230 indy shit. Not that mainstream games are good but if you want to play classics they sure as hell aren't available in Linux.
>>
>>60486620
>>shitty graphical drivers
I use a state of the art Nvidia GPU driver, which works perfectly well.

>>having 230 indy shit.
Implying. Most of them are mainstream games and classics. I just have a lot of them because I didn't literally discover video games yesterday.

I answered your question sincerely, and it's obvious that you are just here to shitpost. Many, if not most, games work on Linux, and this is something that makes people happy. Why are you sperging out over this, like this is somehow bad for the PC gaming industry?

>>60486007
3000 games for linux
Sure only valve games (dawn of war 3 is comming out soon :D)

Thank you, this is the answer I was asking for.

>Why Linux is better

Short answer: It's not.

Long answer: In some areas it's way better. Mostly areas you wouldn't or shouldn't care about. Some things a normie faggot like you might care about is that it doesn't spy on you like Windows, it's free (as in it doesn't cost $ and open source), also free programs that can do more or less what "professional" and expensive programs do, none of the people that the guys who write viruses target use linux so their are no* viruses (rarely any to the point that it might as well be none).

>What is wrong with windows

It spys on you, it isn't free (see above), it's less safe to use.

>What's the point of having two OS in one PC if windows can do everything anyway

Best of both worlds. Use linux when you can to save money and be safer looking up your porn and then boot up Windows when you want to do something Linux can't (or is shit at) do.

>Why Linux is so complicated (Sudo and other crap)

It's fucking not. I'll be nice and assume you aren't a retard and just got caught off guard by not being able to double click things. It's different yes, but so is the way people wipe their asses. Both using a gui interface and the terminal achieve the same thing. However if you give the terminal a shot I think you will find it is not only very simple but also quicker in most cases.

>what are the differences in security

Linux is patched daily. This means when you discover hitting backspace 28 times unlocks any linux system it's patched in less then a day. None of this hoping Microsoft will go back and patch legacy software.

>Is Linux a good option if I like gaming sometimes

Short answer: No

Long answer: No, gaming is not here yet. At least not for AAA gaming. That isn't to say there isn't a ton of options and it's not better then ever. But it's not on the same level as windows yet. There are a ton of options to play games that are only on Windows on linux but just dual boot and save yourself some time.
