Freetards

Why are people still using Windows after Linux has made it obsolete?
It's ecosystem is full of malware and spyware and its backdoors are legendary.
It's slow and bloated and treats its users like 5 year olds. It is sad.

my hentai games don't run on leenux

Because you're too stupid to use wine

why bother when I can just dual boot

Shit like this seriously puts me off Windows, but the alternatives like OSX and Linux don't do themselves any favors by having such a steep learning curve to use.

If I don't like Windows Office, I can switch to LibreOffice and I pretty much already know how things work.

But if I don't like a Windows OS, I have to spend days learning to do shit I already know how to do.

When users have to be told by Holla Forums Holla Forums how to play simple games, the problem isn't the user, it's the OS.

I wonder what Barron's favorite distro is

Imagine tomorrow Holla Forums's entire user interface changes. You need to look up new ways to do everything, from attaching images, to greentext, to bringing up the reply box.

Is this user-friendly, y/n?

...

...

Because you don't have to search up anything on windows.

>they must be retarded idiots!

If you think you can disable it, you dont know anything. And with that attitude, you never will.

Friendly reminder there are intelligence agency mandated hardware backdoors in all major vendors. This is publicy advertised and studied.

...

You sound bitter, Pajeet.

information should be free, if only for logistical reasons. it's utterly impossible to stop people from simply adopting your idea once you've released it to the public. it's one thing to outlaw theft of physical goods, but abstract concepts cannot be controlled.

besides which, imagine if the guy who invented irrigation had kept that idea to himself; society would have never progressed any further until some other guy came up with irrigation and actually told other people how to do it.

If you think it's hard then yeah, you are a retarded idiot. Only reason you want to claim it's hard is because you are unwilling to try, and are looking for an excuse to justify how stupid you are.

ok then, I think you should write a guide and create the software to make your OS work like ones people understand. chop chop!

Idiot

the thoughtful contributions of linux advocates.

IP is shit and the freetards are kind of right but obviously autistic

im just a lazy nigger that wastes his time with vidya otherwise id probably go gnu too

The main argument is gaming support. Not everything runs in wine. Dual boot. Don't let other peoples choices / opinions affect yours.

Idiot

Oooooh boizinga! Yew shure tolled him.

Retard

Linux has far from made Windows obsolete. Thats the fucking problem

You dirty double nigger. Linux is the equivalence to buying a used car from the lot sale without all the parts. It's a fucking kernel of a kernel of a OS. I mean why would someone spend 10 hours figuring out how to fix one minor problem due to fucking around and downloading unpolished user programs to something that can take 5 to 10 minutes to figure out on a OS that's at least polished upon it's fundamentals.

The reason why he hasn't bothered installing GNU is because he'd realize what a god awful, nonintuitive, tedious process it is to get any GNU install set up and he'd probably kill himself knowing his autistic ass

Linus Torvalds himself can't even install Debian by himself. I can say I have more experience installing these OS' than the two people who made them fucking possible. And freetards defend this shit

freetards are cancer but so is spyware, bloatware, and DRM.
The comparison of libre software and communism is naive, but unfortunately somewhat accurate.
If you think white nationalists are into purity spiraling you should check out the GNU evangelists.
Free software will always be there for hobbyists, programmers, security experts, governments, and corporations that benefit from the advancement of free software.
The Freetards try to make an argument by effect (that the software is superior), but the real argument is a moral one which 99% of people fail to see because they think computers are magic.
You cannot sell free software (shut the fuck up stallman), but profit from supporting it in other ways.

I like freedom
Stay slaves, cucks.

Idiot

its nothing like communism. Only communists with their retarded confirmation bias believe this. Free Software is more like Classical Liberalism

The operating system itself irrelevant, it's the programs that are relevant.

It's like having a really nice, fast car with nowhere to go.

Since Windows is able to run native Linux binaries now, and since Linux is somewhat able to run Windows binaries via WINE, its not even really the programs that are relevant anymore. I'd say now its a question about how well can each respective OS run applications and how easy is it to set each respective OS up. I think Windows wins overall tbh

Good luck getting a normie or even a regular PC gamer to learn how to use WINE.

even if they did figure it out, its still not perfect, I think its able to run maybe 20 percent of all Windows software flawlessly. Which is a lot, but its not covering the 80 percent that runs like shit that more normies will run into. Thats why I think Windows is still overall better. Since its able to run just about 100 percent of 64-bit Linux software thanks to Windows Subsystem for Linux

Holla Forums may not be worse than Holla Forums yet, but its getting really fucking close

The consumer advice page is pretty shit too.

I would just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've taken recently to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functional system of GNU made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital components of the system that consists of a full operating system 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 GNU project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is only one part of the system that 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 the addition of Linux, or GNU/Linux. All the distributions of so-called "Linux" are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Dude, you are so late. Most systems are now in fact systemd/gnu although linux kernel still has small part but will be obsolete soon.

Thanks for your input, Linus.

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?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

I think The Free Software Community might've adopted Marxist subversion techniques after they became overrun with communists because ever since a few years ago all their arguments against Windows have been pure rhetoric, and argument by assertion.

install gentoo you double nigger

google this shit you retard it's true and you're an imbecile for not having heard of it. we're not here to spoonfeed silly babby. you deserver your NSA/windows AIDS

Baka!

That's Stallman, you fucking newfag.

So you have nothing to validate your conspiracy theories.
Fuck off back to Holla Forums

Thousands of people would love to know every little detail of his life, the same can not be said about you and me.

Just end it already.

LFS, he compiles it in his head

Not everyone lives in your fantasy autistic child play area, freetard

If i'm a freetard, what does that make you? A slavetard? Just kys, drone.

You're a slave to your retarded, meaningless, software politics, stop kidding yourself

Bill Gates is alpha as fuck.
All Freetards have is a fat neckbeard who eats shit off his foot

and this is the problem with windows users. they are too stupid. to google information for themselves. they have to to rely on the propaganda big corporations and governments feed them. yet they're smug and call the well informed conspiracy theorists.

install linux, start with an ubuntu based distro.
