Can you not touch it for 5 years, get a 5yr uptime and then update it without rebooting or fixing stuff?

No, you don't. You have a glorified web browser that barely works.

Because about 95% of the PCs on the planet run it, that's why.
If you want to be different, more power to you, but when you have problems because you chose to run against the crowd or fight the river trying to swim the wrong way, blame yourself.

you mean this concept that was first introduced by Linux?
>>61420803
Why would anyone be proud to be black?
>>61420803
plenty of reasons.
- it just works
- supports all consumer hardware
- has a good window compositor, unlike Linux. Guaranteed hardware video decoding + tear-free environment with any modern videocard.
- windows 10 comes with all features you expect from a modern desktop environment: overview of all opened windows like OS X Exposé, virtual desktops, fully featured file explorer.
- plenty of third-party programs, more than any other OS. Easy installation of third-party programs thru official websites (compare installing Spotify on windows vs linux)
- familiar interface
- comes preinstalled with laptops and prebuilt computers. Cheap if you buy an OEM version for a custom built PC.
Software availability.
I like Linux, everything that represents and software libre too but it's more comfortable to just use Windows at the moment.
>>61420803
because i have work to do and cant waste time on constantly trying to fix my os

Why would anyone use Linux?

Unless they were a paedophile or a faggot?
>>61423839
No. That would be Office, Exchange, Sharepoint, Active Directory, Lync, SQL Server, QuickBooks, Paychex, etc., etc., etc....
You literally can't get any real world work done without Windows.
>>61420803
application compatibility and universal support from nearly every piece of hardware known to man
>>61420803

>>61423839
Windows has dominated the workstation market for well over a decade now, and it does see plenty of usage in the datacenter for infrastructural roles (AD, RDP, Exchange, etc.)

"Productive" when you're not being constantly interrupted by endless "updates" or ransomware or bloatware or your cheap flimsy Lenovo / Dell / HP craptop shitting itself again, so in the end you're really only working about a third of the total time (and babysitting / fixing Windows for the other two thirds).

The better question is
Why would anyone use Linux?
>>61420803

Your answer is Visual Studio.

I was told this nigger OS was free but I just made a vm and it wants me to "activate" it, what do?
>>61425067
I do. Software for manipulating Genomes and CUDA eat up a lot of resources. Stupid himan genome requires 32 gb of RAM.
>>61425316
>Stupid himan
heh

You misunderstand, it's a new species of human he's inventing with his 32GB of of RAM
>>61425307
Supply your credit card information
>>61424832
CLion, no need for Visual Studio.
Visual Studio 2017 installer hangs, when finishes leaves a process using 30% of cpu.
Compiling a solution (project) made in another Visual Studio most of the time doesn't work. You try to install the C++ runtime for that specific version, fails because you have a more recent one.
Visual Studio sucks if you are not using it in one closed project inside a company.

EXE installers are a lot easier than .run/.sh installers that don't install dependencies or uninstallers, so you don't have to hunt down one .deb after another to make it run, and you don't have to hunt all over your file system to manually remove the application.
Look at all this work you have to go through just to run Maya on Ubuntu.

I'm not going to put myself through all of that when on Windows I can be up and running in just a few clicks.
>>61420803
It does everything and no other OS can claim that.
>>61420803
If I need Linux, I can just 1-click install it from the Windows Store.
>>61420803
People use it because it is pre-installed, no normalfag would want to install a different operating system.
Windows is familiar and they don't give a fuck about their operating system, so they would never even think about switching.

>>61425881
>It does everything
But "everything" includes spying into the private life of billions.
And "everything" does appearently not include things such as customization.
computers come with it. most people think an "os" is windows but nothing else.
>>61424282
Because he cares about his Privacy?
Or customization or freedom?
unironically for the commenters on microsoft.com
You use Windows to work and play games
You use OSX because it's unbreakable and powerful, ideal for work.
And finally you use GNU/systemd/Linux (Desktop) to reinvent wheel by developing infite number of software that's supposed to do the same thing, yet none actually works without hours of troubleshoting and perfect combination of hardware.
>>61424815
If you don't care about Privacy, go ahead and post all your private information here...
And I mean ALL, all your accounts, possibly credit card info etc..
If you don't care about Privacy that is no problem, if you do then why are you fine with Microsoft collecting your data and most likely selling it.
>>61426311
Have you ever used Linux?
Recently?
It is about as easy to install as windows and significantly less likely to shit itself.
It also will work everywhere perfectly.
>>61426284
Totally worth it
Work? Just excel is fucking unique in windows.
>>61426359
Typical elitist denialism. GNU/Linux has plethora of problems that could be solved if it wasn't for fags like yourself that pretend that everything is fine. Fedora is a gem hidden in a pile of shit, because they plan to get their shit together and create standard ABI/API and works with AMD, Intel and Nvidia to deliver hardware support.
I need to dual boot in order to use AutoCAD, ArcGIS and Photoshop. I don't play games, though.
For everything else Linux is just fine.

I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong or what, but half the games I try to play on WINE don't work, regardless of their rating. It just seems like a ridiculous hassle considering you could just dual boot or use a VM and have it just werk with no issues.
>>61420803
It just werkz like VLC! But seriously. Write me device drivers for anything I would possibly buy in the next 10 years or -10 years and I'll go Ubuntu, okay?
And for the last time having my computer display 800X600 res with 256 colors is NOT "just werkz" .....or even "better", give me a black screen of death on a vanilla USB install.
