And yet, everyone uses Windows, nobody uses Linux, at least on the desktop... and Linux desktop still blows compared to Windows.
Can anyone explain?

because Linux can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Chances are you'll ALWAYS encounter a problem everyday and will need to google something to figure it out.
>>60602415
its not about companies or even os itself
humans just are stuipied niggers
Three word: PR propaganda.
then who was unix?
I think Linux on the desktop is amazing
>>60602415
Retarded company standards imposed to thidrworld pajeets and pacos + their tendency to reject ideas not embraced by a significantly large group of people.
>>60602415
normies dont understand FREEDUM!1!!111!!1!!!11
>>60602415
Linux requires reading and comprehension
>>60602874
Of course they don't, that's why they are normies
>>60602415
it's because instead of adding new features and actually doing work linuxfags usually spend 99% of their time recompiling their kernel and molesting children... not that being a macfag is any better... or on windows
everyone is gay
>>60602935
ur mum is gay fuk u

Typical Linux poster...pshh nothing personnel kid
*uncompiles ur source code*
>>60602968
REEEEEEEEEE
>>60602415
What Linux distro is sponsored by those you say?
You you confusing thing here, Linux is the kernel, and is the best at it, that no desktop OS using it is good doesn't mean shit.
>>60602415
monopolies freeze everything
they got to do a mediocre gui for the pc
nobody looked any further
windows now (2017)=a barrier
>>60602935
Correct, that's why I use Ubuntu LTS, Stable, free as in freedom, easy to use, and much more secure than Windows.
>>60604904
im a big fan of xubuntu on laptop
mate on raspberry pi 3 as desktop/server
I just want a honda - don't want to have to open the hood too much
>>60602415
Because Windows just works.
>>60602415
(((Company)))
Thats not how you spell monopoly ya jackass.

Corrected.
You don't anticipated how intelligent bill is. if a /g fag who make indie game and make money out of it after 1-3 years out of college, has IQ x then Bill gates has IQ 10x.
Average /g user is like 0.034x

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.

its like they tried to stick every bell and whistle they could, onto a trabant (windows)
they couldn't get people to upgrade from the trabant 1.0 (XP) to the trabant ghia (7), in many cases. way more than 50pc of business users are still using xp. They haven't managed to provide anything further than a "marginal GUI/filing system" .. even that, compared to linux, they haven't been able to advance. Stuck with the registry, stuck with the fragmentary NTS4. They can't improve it because it's such a mess. It's stayed a mess, because nobody has got to examine it/ fix it .. it being closed source.

a trabant
beep beep .. sometimes starts
>>60605014
its got plastic fenders.
akin to aero desktop (circa 2008 was it)
>>60602627
This isn't true at all.
Did you use it for a week and give up? Some people learn how it works and they can solve their own problems.

>Linux desktop still blows compared to Windows
by what metric
>>60605058
why does microsoft suddenly "love linux"
and want to get integrated / 'replicate'
because their platform isn't viable anymore
they are in the process of abandoning it
they failed utterly
i got linix and i tried to pplay gtav one time and it didn't even WORK!!!!! this os suck its too dum to even run good videogamse
>>60605014
I would drive the fuck out of that thing and hobble it together as it broke until it looked like pic related

Conveniently ignore Microsoft?
>>60602968
Haha nice trolling m8 made me cry.
>>60602415
That's wrong you fucking retard.
99% of Linux is written by Red Hat and a few paid employees. Most of this "muh 10,000 gorillion" is shitty device drivers that they toss it and then forget about it.
Don't eat up the propaganda.
>>60602415
It's simple
Because Linux guys are all like:
>"Ew what the fuck do you need a DE for"
From a certain perspective billions of people use linux.
They just are not using it on their PCs
>>60602415
Note "working on its kernel". There's one unique leadership that drives the kernel. The kernel itself? Works.
The desktop? There are eleventy projects under mixed leadership with no unique wisdom, and the display method (Wayland/Mir/X.org) is developed separately from both the kernel and the actual desktop guys (GNOME/KDE/XFCE/LXDE).
Notice something? That plurality is the problem.
>>60602415
LINUX IS NOT A DESKTOP OS YOU FUCKING MORON.
ITS USEFUL FOR MANY ENTERPRISE THINGS, BUT NOT AS A DESKTOP.
WHY?
BECAUSE THERES NO SUPPORT FROM NOBODY
WHY?
BECAUSE NO ONE IN THE FIELD USES IT AS A DESKTOP
UNDERSTAND?
