Only real complaint is that pacman doesn't color its output. Yaourt does but you can't do -Ssr as in pacaur.

I've been using Windows 10 since beta, so a little over 2 years and I'm at 0 comfy. It crashes every day, sometimes multiple times a day and I could never fix it. It crashes sometimes even if I let it sit on the desktop without ever touching anything or doing anything, it's completely random.

On my desktop and servers I've used Debian since 1999 when neckbeards were memeing it hard on IRC and Usenet. By 2002 I had gone full Debian and completely removed Windows 2000. It's one of the comfiest operating systems out there. I also tried Slackware around 2001 but I didn't like it. I used a PowerBook from like 2003 to 2006 alongside my Debian desktop and it was extremely comfy. Then in 2006 I bought a ThinkPad R60 for over $1200 which I still have and use Debian on, until mid 2012 when I got the computer I have now which is a ThinkPad T400 with Libreboot that I used to run Debian on. I've been trying out Fedora on it since late February of this year and I like it just as well as Debian, though I'm seriously considering switching back because I'm not a fan of bleeding edge stuff. I prefer maximum stability and compatibility where I can update once a month or so which Debian provides. With Fedora it's 200-400MB of updates every week or so and I get fucked up packages when I neglect updates for more than two weeks or so.

I suggest sticking with Debian for now. It doesn't get much better. If you want a super secure computer then use OpenBSD. It comes at the expense of software compatibility and ease of use but it's definitely worth it for server and embedded stuff. I have an old netbook running OpenBSD in my closet that I use as a personal email server and it's great. I have a Raspberry Pi cluster that I might migrate to OpenBSD in the future as well.

>>62055628
Definitely use OpenBSD. FreeBSD is pretty retarded because the GUI installer is clunky and half assed and package management isn't very good. It often makes things unnecessarily complex, whereas OpenBSD is made by the devs for the devs, unlike FreeBSD which tries to please everyone and always fails. Don't be afraid of the text installer. It's easier than FreeBSD's graphical installer.

the fly in the ointment is the degrading performance of Firefox, but I found it to be slow on FreeBSD and Linux Mint too, so it can't just be the OS.

I tried to make the switch to linux (mint). I liked it and all but the lack of a quality music player ruined it for me. And it wasnt as easily customized as i would like. I have the perfect setup on Windows 7 with emerge desktop and rainmeter. I also like having my start button on my right click and i hate toolbars. Doing to linux what i did to windows is way beyond my scope, and theres still the no foobar problem.

It's really great for just doing general daily tasks/web browsing, far better than any Linux distribution I've ever used. Bonus is that it actually has pretty good software available for it. Points off because you still run into some Apple bullshit every now and again(antiquated OpenGL in particular effects what I do a lot) and you have to download some things for window snapping that isn't a huge pain in the ass. Also you're a fucking moron if you buy Apple desktop hardware and don't Hackintosh. The laptops are fine.

It plays video games and runs the things macOS does not.

I've played with Linux a lot, hopped between most of the popular ones for years spending the majority of my time with either Debian or the popular derivatives. macOS does everything I asked of those but in a better and more intuitive way out of the box with a better software selection.

As always with Windows, it just werks for the most part. The main selling point of 10 for me though is WSL, it's incredible and makes my job a lot easier as I can use Windows and Linux tools side by side, no more having to fuck around with VMs or dual booting. I also haven't had any issues with things like ads, automatically installing programs, or forced restarts. Maybe it's because I'm using Pro, or the yuro version of 10 is less cucked. Either way I've had no problems apart from the occasional issue that you always get on Windows, only thing keeping it at a 7/10.

I hopped between Debian and OpenSuse from 6-11, then used Windows until I was 13 , switched to Mint, and then switched to Arch when I was 16. So I've been using GNU/Linux for 8 years, and used Windows briefly for 3 years.

>>62060379
Oh wait I forgot the comfiness. Debian was a little hard for me. I had to do most stuff through terminal, but I sort of liked it that way. Suse was just confusing and came with a lot of shit, which wasn't good on my 20GB hard drive at the time. I think Mint was probably the most streamlined I used, I almost never had to open the terminal. When I used Windows, it was always very frustrating. Nothing really worked ootb, there was always some issue I had to fix, and I couldn't do much of anything through the terminal. Whenever stuff would break in Windows, I would have no idea why, and google searching the issue never turned up anything useful. I think when I finally switched to Arch, I really found my comfort zone. The terminal is an extremely useful tool, and even though stuff can break randomly, I find fixing it to be easy and fun most of the time. Strange to think I've been using GNU/Linux longer than I've been on 4chan. I even used it long before I really used the web.

Explained:
It was really hard to configure your system correctly back in the days, you needed even packages from experimental to make your fglrx work properly, update was unpredictable in those cases, xorg broke more often than it worked.
Now, upgrade is a no brainer, bumblebee works as expected, fglrx disappeared and instead you have 2 drivers that work perfectly, debian picked cinnamon and mate, along with xfce, so you have a plethora of options for stable DEs.
It is a time where I can without the slightest fear recommend debian to everybody, because it is polished and there is no needs to do hacks to make things work.

I've used Windows professionally (sysadmin supporting Windows and RHEL platforms) for over a decade and while 10 wasn't the worst rollout for us, it's been one of the most irritating long-term. Microsoft has been sqeezing their best customers to fund stupid shit like Surface products and mobile phones, meanwhile their flagship software products are languishing with little attention. The new problems with telemetry and literally-why integration is just icing on the cake.

>RHEL / CentOS

See above. I've worked with it professionally for a long time. It does what it's supposed to and Red Hat is generally a lot more responsive than Microsoft to support issues when they arise.

OP here, I have been considering Slackware, I have it installed on a VM but I am not that confident with it to move over at present. Even if I DO work everything out I am still not sure about moving since I start my degree very soon and will need a machine that just werks.

I have four months' experience with Debian stable - not much, considering others here - but I have come across and solved all issues relevant to my needs. People moan about systemd but, truth be told, I am not that bothered about it.

Slackware is the definition of just werks as far as GNU/Linux is concerned. The name Slackwre comes as a joke fro the Church of the Subgenius, but also because it's tailored so that you can "slack off" as much as possible.

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.

>>62086627
stop bitching about systemd and install gentoo then, pleb

OpenRC ftw tbqh

MacOS. About a year. It's fine. I wouldn't use it if I didn't spend so much money on it though. Linux is just as good if not better. Used Linux from 2004 till 2016. imac was an impulse buy. I'd install Linux on here but it's not compatible yet. Display issues because it's 5K, and no scaling even if it did work.

I'm innately familiar with the Windows platform from a developer standpoint and a systems and network admin standpoint. I've also been doing Linux admin work for around 5+ years now. I think I'm going to switch over to Debian when I do a ThreadRipper upgrade. My only issue is that I'm considering getting a GTX 1080 Ti for it, and I don't know how good driver support will be in Deb. But, with PCI-e passthrough, I guess I can just ignore that issue and rely on the Windows platform for gaming.
