No. AFAIK I was the first one who popularized the CEIP (customer experience improvement program) which many of you anons should've disabled by now but you won't (completely) as other CEIP services are super hidden process and can only be modified with an NT kernel account.

I used to use Ubuntu pretty heavily back when Microsoft switched from XP to Vista. Ubuntu has gotten much better since then, but I still can't use Ubuntu for my professional work since I require software that explicitly only runs on Windows or Mac, and I've dual booted Ubuntu with both operating systems before and that's just not an efficient workflow for me, to switch back and forth between two operating systems. If my job simply required typical office suite software and/or programming, I'd be using Ubuntu full time. Even then though, it requires more research than either of the major operating systems, and you better know your way around Terminal.

Cheers

>>60607700
Then linux isn't for you. Go try FreeBSD or TrueOS. Have you tried debian unstable? If you plan on using windows (assuming you have older hardware) you should use windows vista. It is the last good edition of windows.
>inb4 vista is shit meme
No. Vista x64 shipped with 1GB RAM (back when memory is fucking expensive). Nothing about vista is bad and in fact many features were removed when windows 7 shipped.

>I'm now using Arch
>Nothing works
kek

>>60611069
Maybe now, but Vista wasn't as viable for many when it first came out because so many drivers that worked for XP weren't compatible with Vista until like a year after it came out. That's where Linux was a saving grace for me at a time when my professional work didn't require Windows. By the time 7 came out enough drivers were fully compatible and 7's new features made it much more attractive than Vista in terms of workflow efficiency

>>60607625

You are going to hurt yourself even more. Go for W7.

>>60607625
I know what you mean. I loved Mint 17, but 18 threw me off, got annoyed googling basic stuff that should just be there.
Moved to Ubuntu Mate, it's so much better, I feel stupid for being pro Mint over M'buntu.
It's simple except USB data delete, its better on Windows.
You can't delete data on a USB using Linux to save space, you have to do disk writer or some annoying crap.

I have W10 on desktop for 3D/VFX.
It is simple and easy if you brace yourself for Windows updates and treating your own computer like a public computer due to Spyware10 being what it is.

>>60607700
That shouldn't be a problem after the first week or two of Arch if you're halfway competent. I know this is bate but I have to let people know I use Arch somehow.

i somewhat agree with this, there are 2 reasons where linux would be useful. The first being if you need to use it as a Job, server bs. The second being if you have old hardware, then linux is a great choice. Linux is useless except for those 2 points.

>>60619564
Linux being good for old hardware is not a meme, it lets you have modern software with good performance, something you couldn't do with a recent windows version. All the BSDs have shit package managers and update systems. Google and Red Hat use Linux at the core of their businesses so they would be harmed if they hurt Linux and Microsoft alone can't override all the different contributors and the iron hand of Linus.

Nice blog.

I installed Arch on my computer two years ago and update once a week after checking the news on the archlinux.org front page.

Everything just works, super comfy. Hope you figure out your Youtube gofundme shit, or whatever it is you fags do on Windows

>>60617293

That would be, hands down, a Windows attribute. Try changing something that doesn't have a GUI in Windows, it's certainly no easier than Linux.

I bet everyone thought you were real smart, so it's odd about how mediocre your grades were; must be the system that's broken and that grades aren't important in the real world. But hey, somehow you managed to get into college! What's this? You know how to use vim now? Wow you're so cool, knowing how to type stuff into that terminal thing like hackers do. Man I wish I were like you! I bet you even have some snarky comment stowed away in your artillery ready to be used whenever a prominent figure in tech is mentioned. Oh you heard the name Stallman? You say he hasn't done anything relevant since emacs and then quote that interjection you read on /g/? Haha, you're so witty! What's this now? You even attended one of his seminars but don't remember anything he said but have an sd card filled with his pics you've taken? You're an absolute madman haha!

>>60607625
Serious question here. I've tried many different distros, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Arch,.. I experience crashing in all of them, usually when I'm browsing the web or watching youtube it seems. Chromium also seems to trigger it. What should I do? I don't want to go back to windows but it's hard not to.

Windows 8 came out a long time ago. If you're still having massive problems and can't find a use for linux in all that time then you might be doomed to a life of windows and taking your ailing machine when that time comes to a pc repair place and having them spit out their coffee in laughter over your browsing habits.

That's actually quite the opposite of what OP wants, why would you want to spend time on something that wouldn't matter in Windows anyway?

>arch is not for retards
I suppose that's a joke or something. However, if it's not then you're the retard. Anyone can search for something on the internet, no but seriously; anyone.
But people would prefer not to do it if they had a choice, in this case there IS a choice: Windows or Linux.

Do you have (a lot of) time to spend? Do you like technology? Are you ready to search and read a lot about things you don't know how to fix? Do you have any interest in computers other than the usual "it's just for getting my work done"? If so would you like it as your hobby? If all your answers were yes then Linux (more specifically Arch) is for you, otherwise it'll most likely be just a pain in the ass for anybody else that answered with a "no" to any of the questions, for them it'll just be a waste of time which could have been avoided by installing Windows instead.
The day Linux gets as user-friendly as Windows is will be the day people starts seeing it as a viable option.

Just move to Debian and it'll completely resolve the issues you're talking about. I'm being 100% honest and am speaking in literal terms when I say this: Arch is nothing more than a big fat fancy timesinking meme. It's a relatively decent distro, but it's not at all the minimal and secure easy choice /g/entooman make it out to be. Hell, I'd even recommend Ubuntu. Don't give up on it, anon. Just interacting with the OS and command line is a valuable experience, and aids you by making you flex that brain and maintain a bare a minimum amount of relevant knowledge in software at the very least. Skip the Xfeces meme, all that. Just go for some Gnome setup and call it a day.

(You'll thank me later, I promise.)

How's Bluetooth on Debian? It's one of the things I hate about ubuntu. Fucking niggers haven't fixed that shit.

I see a lot of Linux pros around, so let me ask a question: Can Linux handle multiple graphics cards with multiple monitors attached to them? Both are Pascale series novidya cards.

These shill threads are just silly.

If you're a computer enthusiast who actually enjoys programming, looking at the code other people have written, tweaking it, contributing to it, etc, etc than using FOSS and GNU/Linux is a no brainer

No amount of stupid shill threads is going to convince people otherwise.

It'd be like me making daily threads on a car enthusiast forum about how much more practical a Prius is compared to a Ferrari. It's not going to chance the fact that people still enjoy driving their sport cars.

I really don't know what these shills hope to achieve.

Gamers, children, officecucks and those casual people who use computers as a means to an end will continue to use windows. While enthusiasts will continue to use FOSS.

Are shills really moronic to think that they can change people's minds with crap like this?
