lets get real for a moment. You install windows 10 in about 45 minutes and for most linuxes its about the same but remember. Biggest base linuxes are about 1 gigabytes or 2 while windows 10 can be more than 5 gigabytes of data. And what happens when you open them. On the linux there are about 2 functional buttons, 3 are nonfunctional and in those two buttons there are some pictures to play with. Maybe slide down or up. On windows though, you feel like a god. Its professional its fast, its all functional. You have a godlike user interface. The thing that the linux does not have. You have those two buttons in the linux, but you still search google for codes to write in terminal. Linux is free because its not worth a penny. Nobody would sell a paper without taking the money. Just not sure why people still buy android while windows phone does 10 times more. Trust me. When you work with windows you know some genius ground breaker dedicated himself to give you an operational os

>no privacy
As a normally functioning member of society I already use numerous social platforms where privacy is basically non existent. The government already knows everything they need to know about us and I doubt that using Windows makes the situation worse than it already is.
I came to the conclusion that the only people who autistically care about these 3 points (especially when Windows OS is involved) you're making are social outcasts who basically have no jobs and/or close relationships with other people so they make a big deal out of "freedom and privacy" to give some meaning to their pathetic lives. But how can your life be free and private when you have no life?

>>62458565
>You install windows 10 in about 45 minutes and for most linuxes its about the same
Bullshit. I installed my Linux distro on SSD in 5 minutes.

>>62458565
I remember this shitpost

>>62457349

Dear privacy and safety fags:

"Microsoft uses the data we collect to operate our business and provide you the products we offer, which includes using data to improve our products and personalize your experiences."

This is the reason Windows 10 is so advanced is because it is the result of actually knowing and understanding what the users want. A comfy system with minimal tinkering and technical understanding of the system being used.

People who claim this is a privacy issue seem to be negligent to the fact that you can opt out in just a few clicks. "And because Windows is personal to you, we give you choices about the personal data we collect and how we use it."

There is no data sent out automatically which contains sensitive information. "Files that aren’t likely to contain user data are sent automatically."

To further confirm that Microsoft is not interested in your porn tastes and loli addiction lets check if Microsoft's Windows 10 allows us to connect a VPN using built in services Oh wow, interesting... "Whether it's for work or personal use, you can connect to a VPN (virtual private network) on your Windows 10 PC. A VPN connection can help provide a more secure connection to your company's network and the Internet (for example, if you’re working from a coffee shop or similar public place)."

So in conclusion, it appears to be that the privacy and safety concern argument is nothing but a superiority based argument that is meant to belittle users of a system that is truly more comfy to the average user who isn't really interested in wasting hours on end tinkering their systems.

it's a common misconception that companies only bother with "interesting" people, for some definition of interesting. This isn't the case at all, they'll collect whatever they can on anybody.

Also note how when Microsoft talks about your privacy, they implicitly mean "your privacy from people other than Microsoft". If Microsoft truly wasn't "interested" in me and cared about my privacy, there'd be one switch in the control panel saying "report nothing at all to MS". They don't deign to giver consumers the option to turn off telemetry, only enterprises (who may be subject to laws regulating what can and can't go to third parties). Why? If Microsoft respects my privacy, they should just shrug their shoulders and say "okay" if I want to tell them nothing, whatever my reasoning for that may be.

>"Why, yes, I do hinder my computing experience by exclusively using FOSS garbage and CuckCuckGo under the false pretence that not only do I matter, but I matter so much that the machine built for convenience should be as inconvenient as possible to protect muh privatez, thanks for asking"

Arch Linux.

Never had any problems. I don't use an external GPU though.

If one makes the presumption that the modern IT is all about the internet, then you have to ask yourself
'Does Linux even have a choice in this matter ?'

A modern computing system is not one that is run from the command line - it is a system that is tied in with the internet Cloud. Just have a look at Windows 10 with Cortana and OneDrive for an example of this done right.

You need the outlook to connect in with the mass of email flowing around us every day. And then there is document collaboration - the sharing of Wordfiles and Excels between users across state boundries ! Voice over IP, cloud enabled 'Surface' computing, and voice command interfaces - all tied together with .NET and the OneDrive.

The driving force behind this internet is the Microsoft Sharepoint Server - a central peice of systems software which connects all these end points together, in a synergistic kaleidoscope that achieves both balance and symmetry.

The smart Vendors know that in order to get ahead in the future IT, that means integrating with the Cloud.

Linux has nothing on the Cloud.

People had a life before social media existed, so you can still perfectly have one without it, it doesn't matter if you use Windows or Linux, or don't even have a goddamn computer.

I'll give you that MY definition of "werk" is unusual in that it boils down to "server shit (where a large degree of system mutability and autonomy and privacy is great) and programming", but, with that definition, Linux is much superior to Windows. Those are Linux's niches. Windows's niches are casual use, games, support for select fancy hardware and software, etc. No system obviates the other yet in terms of being equal across all these niches.

>wifi keeps disconnecting
Yeah this is a fucking weird thing that Windows 10 does. Go to your device settings or whatever and find your wifi card, right click on it and find the options for "power-saver". For some reason it was turning off my wifi card every 10 minutes to save power, and turning it back on a minute later lol

>no xorg configs
>no kernel configs
>no GRUB
These are not positives, these are negatives lol where the fuck is the freedom

>no dependencies
You clearly have no idea what the hell a dependency even is. When you install a program, even on Windows, it usually depends on some package or library like VC redist or something. Most of the time the devs will just package those dependencies with the software, but sometimes they won't, and things won't work, even on Windows. You probably don't realize what's going on when this happens, because for example say you're trying to install a program and you're following an online guide. It says "First install this, then install this". That's dependencies. And it's the same on Linux. Usually the devs will have the package manager pull in all the dependencies, but if it doesn't, you gotta install those yourself. Same damn thing.

i have never touched these in my 3 months of using debian after windows. grub was installed automatically, and configurated automatically.

>>62462111
this. OP, most distros already have those set up for you. you don't have to do anything. kernel's already configured to work with most hardware, xorg's already configured, and grub installs automatically when you hit the big "Install Ubuntu" button or whatever distro you're installing.

>but you still search google for codes to write in terminal.
This ignorance hurts to read. They're not "codes", they're commands, it's not some indecipherable code that only hackers can understand. They're just tools that you're invoking via commands. And if you don't know what they do, you shouldn't be using the terminal in the first place. A proper *nix terminal is powerful because if you know what you're doing, you can write shell scripts to automate a lot of things to make your life a lot easier than you can on Windows. This is especially useful for sysadmins and anyone who runs and maintains servers. And piping, piping is fucking magical. It takes the output of one program and uses it as the input to another. You can create a long string of programs and chain reactions to perform a time-consuming task and do it all just with the push of a button to invoke the shell script you wrote. Very useful.

what is remotely comfy about a bunch of windows and popups flying at you? Not to mention all fullscreen app crap.
They want to turn you computer into a windows ipad ripoff

it might have systemd, but it's still damn comfy, everything just works and is smooth, nothing is flying out in your face or hidden behind corny touch shit

that's actually a bad thing since wangblows' is significantly worse.
>no dependencies
Au contraire. Enjoy spending an entire fucking week trying to install a single piece of software because you have to dig into the anals of a test program to figure out based on the failure conditions which software is missing, then waste hours locating the package compiled for wangblows, or even worse: compile it yourself and deal with even more errors because >msvc

>no xorg configs
Nobody configs xorgs. xorg config has basically not been a thing for a decade.
HOWEVER it's still true that xorg itself is dogshit and full of bugs.

>no kernel configs
Nobody ever config'd their kernel.

Freedom only in the sense that it's not big enough to warrant the eyes of corporations and government. Anything touting freedom and anonymity is sure to shit the bed once it goes big. By shilling your 'free' platform you're actively hurting it.

Safety? If you can sit at you computer for hours on end tweaking your distro then not getting swept up in malware should be second nature to you. That's only something that appeals to the 60 year old who doesn't understand why the Norwegian Prince hasn't sent her return on the money yet.

Privacy? Same as the first. Once it gets big, prying hands will inevitably come. It's only a matter of time.

>Freedom to do what, exactly?
no freedom to own and control your OS. If microsoft decided to remotely brick your computer then it's nothing you can do about it. You don't own Windows, it's a service. It's MICROSOFTS service, which is why it's legal for them to snoop at everything you do and sell to people without notifying you.

>Your isp knows what you browse
Microsoft knows what imgages you watch, what kinds of files you have on your computer and what's in those files. Microsoft knows your passwords and reads your emails (we know this from the terms and conditions where they mention it and a lawsuit where some microsoft workers had to look through the files of pedophiles who use windows 10 so that they could collect evidence and involve the police. Apparently the workers did not get any therapy after watching all these pictures and videos)

>Apparently the workers did not get any therapy after watching all these pictures and videos)
That's a huge problem on /g/.
