It's more stable than windows.
Better programming environment.
Less viruses
Package managers make it easier to install and remove software
Less bloatware

>>61140500
Easier and a lot less autistic than using windows

It's an open palate. I install all of the basic things I need and like, yet I always manage to find new and exciting things to do and experiment with. It's awesome really. There hasn't been a single day where I have been bored with Linux.

I'm a technology enthusiasts so I use an OS that caters to my needs.

it's retard proof so I can install in my father's laptop without worrying about malwares and "MY COMPUTER IS SLOW". also, some distros can give a new life to old computers

This, but I've noticed that big companies which don't have software development as their primarily income source are switching to Windows servers.
In my slave factory it's 30% rhel and 70% winserv

They really don't. They're great at inducing dependency hell, and for keeping out of date software in repos

Multiple flavors depending on what you need. my netbook runs like a champ with ubuntu mate but I probably would have gotten rid of it if I kept windows 10.

Easy to install and I can do it for free

You don't use anything Unix, quit kidding yourself.

Because you're computer savvy enough to understand that your operating system defines your sexual orientation.

>>61140831
And having 3 different versions of msvc and a bunch versions of .Net is better?

I mostly use appimages nowadays so... Oh well.

>>61141028
Well it is unix-like
That is more than enough to me

Stability, speed, and it runs on literally anything. Windows is an unstable, sluggish piece of shit that runs on x86 only with a half assed version for ARM.

Running faster, smoother.

Windows 10 workflow is some janky shit. wheres the hotkey to move a window between workspaces still? Why not just let me set it myself? Jeez

It's easy to use, better drivers, more software.
>>
>>61141595
>It's easy to use
Yeah because you have been using it your whole life

>better drivers
Use Ubuntu

>more software
There are hundreds of free alternatives for any type of software you use on windows
>>
>>61140831
You have to break it manually for the dependency hell to appear. Out of date is by design, distros like Arch keep you up to date like on Windows.
>>
>>61141650
>use Ubuntu
Only one distro has good drivers?
>alternatives
A lot of them are a lot fucking worse.
>>
>>61141681
>Only one distro has good drivers?
Nope, that's just one of the better supported ones regarding drivers

>A lot of them are a lot fucking worse.
Such as?
>>
I actually know what my computer is doing. Apps that auto-install or refuse to be removed, updates that can break anything at anytime for a feature that I didn't need, things like OneDrive preinstalled and harassing me to use them. The whole system is here to push Microsoft's services. I hate that.

Also, the design is retarded because of backward compatibility. Yesterday I learned about the stupid "max path length" thing while writing a Python script.
>>
>>61141650
>There are hundreds of free alternatives
Most are shit in comparison. It's not like Windows users don't run proprietary software exclusively. We use them when there's no better alternative. To deny this is simply dishonest.

Freetard elitism is cancer.

Was writing about Windows 10, if it was not clear.
>>
>>61141369
Lots of software is only available on windows, such as 3ds max, solidworks, photoshop ...
Windows has better video drivers
>>
>>61141721
>Such as?
Why do you pretend that certain free alternatives can compete with their proprietary counterparts? Off the top of my head Foobar, MS Office, VMware, Adobe suite.

KDE is a nice desktop that has nice features.

>>61140500
There're no reasons to use Linux. We are already full of retards on Ubuntu and Arch forums. Fuck off.
>>
>>61140500
unlike you I'm not a retarded /v/tard faggot so there's your reason.
