When exactly did you grow out of Windows /g/? For me it was 2012

>>60882157
I grew out of it last year when I got the MacBook Air

Around the time Windows 10 was released, I got introduced to Ubuntu in one of my university classes. Liked it so much I made it my daily driver.

Nowadays I'm a walking /g/ meme. Gentoo, thinkpad, etc.

Never, since I actually have a job and use my PC for more things than shitposting on /g/ and watching anime and need to run industry standard software that doesn't exist on Linux

I never had to "grow out" of Windows because I'm not the type of person who blindly fanboys about shit. When the quality started going downhill I just moved to Linux. If something better comes along I'll move to that. Windows users, especially on this board, have a tendency to blindly defend Windows to the put of outright denying any of the actual issues that exist with Windows. That's just retarded. Nothing will ever change for the better that way.

Linux is fine and you should use it if you want to.
I prefer stuff like working device drivers, all the software I need, and plenty of other crap. Feel free to hate on Windows 10 but it's actually not that bad.

The only issues I have with Windows are:
1. Clover steals focus on mouseover of the left pane when the file/folder name is too long to fit and brings up the tooltip to show it.
2. File transfer dialogues are pop-under.

That's it.

If you had to go running off to Linux it's probably because you're too stupid for a professional OS.

>>60883609
I think it has a lot to do with excitement about something new. Spending years using the garbage that is Windows will do that to you, when you find out that a better alternative exists, some people can't help but be annoying about it.

>>60883609
>>60883638
yeah I notice this a lot. especially in facebook normies that are new to Linux.

They aren't even close. Many of the non-destructive features that make Photoshop great (filter/adjustment layers, layer effects, smart objects, high-end CMYK support, shape tool, etc.), GIMP isn't even expected to have for another couple of years according to their roadmap. The ability to select and move multiple layers, like Photoshop has had for years, isn't even on the roadmap!

No idea what kind of retarded shit you've done to make it 'unreliable'.

As for security,I have not gotten any malware/trojan in the past 10 years. NoScript + UBlock eliminates 99% potential threats. The other 1% is if you pirate suspicious shit(keygens/etc).
