What operating system does /r9k/ use?

linux plus gnu plus xubuntu

Used to use gnu/linux with debian sid then I stopped really caring about being a freetard and went back to Windows 8.1

OSX right now but going back to Windows when the Surface Pro 5 comes out

>>35461636
Factually incorrect. Android is the most used operating system in the world. If we're talking specific uses, Windows is most relevant for desktop usage, yes, but GNU/Linux recently reached 2% market share on the desktop market, and Macbooks are still going strong as well. Microsoft doesn't have the power it used to have, and it shows. Just look at Windows 8 and 10. They're desperate to stay relevant.
>>35461222
>>35461468
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering 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!

>>35461817
Every server you use, including the website you are visiting, runs software written for UNIX, on Linux.
Every video you have ever torrented has been encoded with ffmpeg on Linux.
Every OS developer runs Linux. This includes Currysoft.
The only """"developers"""" you are talking about are game developers.
Only /v/ manchildren care about gaymes.
If linux faggots are pathetic, then manchildren are 10x more pathetic.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

you should ask yourself why not use GNU/Linux if that's all you want to do?

Yeah it'll take a little bit of work to get your environment set up, but it will be exactly the way you want it to be. Not the way microsoft or apple want it to be, but YOU. And you will also learn a little (or a lot, depending on how much time you wanna spend) about computers along the way.

>>35462230
Yeah it does, but it's WAY easier to get it working on Linux. You are also limited in some respects on Windows if you are a normal user.

Basket weaving? Is that some obscure joke I don't understand? My physics teacher used to call the liberal arts "Underwater Basket Weaving".

i just do basic things. internet, movies, music. i don't play games or use photoshop, so i switched to gnu plus linux because i got bored one day, liked it, and stuck with it. if all you do is basic stuff like this, why not use it? it's free, you don't have to deal with microshit botnet backdoor bullshit, you can customize everything, and package managers make installing and updating software unbelievably convenient, i don't know who microshit hasn't stolen the idea yet.

For work and shitposting. Also for holding a lot of books. Like more than I could possibly read if I lived two lifetimes.

Don't listen to these Linux fans; most popular implementations of their OS still break all the time and the UI/UX kind of sucks compared to Windows/OS X.

>Yes, but how do I choose the right distro?

it really doesn't matter anon. It's not that big of a deal. Choose any beginner distro and just jump in.

I recommend openSUSE, it's a pretty nice distro that is very accessible for beginners

>>35464072
Ubuntu MATE if you want something pretty and functional
Xubuntu if you want something functional
Lubuntu if you want something barebones for say an old craptop

Ubuntu is the most popular distro for a reason. I use xubuntu and I'm loving it

How's arch? I like the idea behind it but i don't have too much linux experience.

does it really break often? what would fixing it consist of?

Windows 8.1
Ubuntu 16.04

I use Arch. My current install has lasted me two years now and I've only had one single issue through updating, and that was related to the Infinality font bundle that I should never have used in the first place. I'm very happy with it, and most games I'm interested either runs fine on wine or has a linux port.

I left the Windows world almost three years ago and distrohopped a lot, from stock Ubuntu to its derivatived, into fedora and debian, and settled for a while on Mint Cinnamon. After that eventually shat itself (partially my fault) I just went ahead and set up a barebones minimalistic Arch, and I never looked back. Currently using OpenBox.

On a desktop PC Windows 7, because I don't care about it and it's also used by the rest of my family. I have some Windows programs on it (Photoshop, AutoCAD etc.) and some shitty games (but I hardly play games anymore).

On my laptop, Void Linux. I wanted to go with Arch, but it adopted systemd and I also didn't want to fuck with installing it manually.
Void Linux has freedoms, a good install script, nice repositories, a fast package manager, is rolling-release... The only downside is that there's almost no documentation. I have to use Gentoo Wiki or Arch Wiki if something breaks (but it rarely does).
