Only true answer

linux at work
windows for my vidya
apple for iphone x

don't like it? then deal with it

Is Linux mint still approved on this site? I'm not going full neckbeard with gentoo, I just want to dip a toe in linux just encase windows becomes unbearable down the line

macOS

Windows, Linux.

What do you think? Faggot. I'm not a normie cuck. I'm not a sheep idiot. I AM A FINN.

Android

Customizability (and lightweightedness)
The blessed centralized repo (AUR), godsend in Sudan or anywhere
Rolling release
Installation and modification will improve your understanding immensely

I play some windows games (dxvk/lutris) but I keep a win10 installation for family and most games

Mint is good
but you can also just use any Ubuntu version with the desktop you like (KDE - Kubuntu, Xfce - Xubuntu etc. or regular Ubuntu which comes with the Gnome desktop)
Mint is basically Ubuntu with the Cinnamon desktop, Mint and Ubuntu are both really easy for Linux beginners

My first distro was Debian
Then Ive switched to Gentoo and now, Im using Xubuntu.

based. My first distro was Ubuntu, only thing I ever switched were desktop environments. Tried out Mint for some time, now I'm on Xubuntu too.

University servers used linux.
>type shit in the terminal
>i'm a H4X0R naw

Use whatever distro you feel comfortable with. Some of the most knowledgable Linux people on the planet use Ubuntu.

>godsend in Sudan
Why sudan specifically?

All I want is a GUI API at kernel space, which is not based but I would write it

case in point

I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 5 btw.

Fucking CIA niggers will never EVER catch me.

Debian on my desktop, ubuntu on my server, windows 10 on my laptop and 2nd desktop.

>he doesnt learn windows internals in CS class

Is it possible to install Ubuntu without any kind of usb drive/cd?

All my profs use Mac or win 10. Stay mad neckbeard virgin.

>he gives a shit about the clusterfuck of the windows api

From another linux distro and into VM

no

A lot of useful stuff wrote for windows and I need to know its internals to reverse binaries.

you can mount the ISO on your Android phone, natively or with an app (eg. Drivedroid (proprietary)) and boot from there
you can also create a new partition on your hard drive and write the content of the ISO there and boot it

Fedora / Gentoo / Debian

Netboot but I don't know how it works exactly.

Why do you need to do that unless you're a malware analyst or something?

muss ne richtige scheiß "Uni" sein, aber das wundert mich nicht.. meine Uni war fast ausschließlich Linux und meine Dozenten haben tiling window manager verwendet

I'm pretty sure you need to root your phone for that to work

>those specs
is this your throw away PC?

Arch of course :)

>Mac and PC
Why?

I like to know that stuff and how it works.
Also it gains my competitiveness on market.

Lots of ppas and windows sources of software are banned, were part of the iran, Cuba, NK axis because of state sponsored terrorism

How much power do you need to watch anime and browse Jow Forums?

Windows 10. I don't give a shit about this game nerd bs. the only time I use my computer is to work on school projects and play a bit of vydia games.

Yeah what uni was it?

What's the point of Linux?

not a lot, but I would assume he plays video games too or other shit that requires a good processor

I never had the incentive to upgrade after the first 6 years, then I waited for Ryzen (after hearing about it). When its first gen launched, it kinda was a disappointment, then Zen+ happened and now Zen2 is finally out. Will buy a 3950X (12C/32T) next month when it comes out. And a 5700 XT. Board-partner cards have just been released this week, currently unavailable in stores, unfortunately.

Decent computing experience on a non-mac machine

There aren't any jobs outside of security where you need to reverse-engineer windows binaries

much more flexible system and you really can control it unlike windows.

That's where you are mistaken. I have a linux machine that I only use for browsing the internet + programming

A kernel is necessary for your computer system to function

Both Linux and Windows. I use linux for most things I do, but I still occasionally boot into windows for the few things I can't be bothered to setup on linux, like blizzard games.
Like windows, Linux has its flaws, but in the 4 years I have been using it I have experienced far less problems than in my years using windows. Solving those problems has also been way easier in my experience.

Okay so what can you control with it and how does it make it function better?

>outside of security
You can revese proprietary software for some useful features. Also you can crack programs and generate keys for any software which demans them and a lot of other stuff.

I am a brainlet. If the operating system is open source, wouldn't that make it easier to write malware for the system?

XP

>I am a brainlet
this is your answer

Hello Boomers

Yes i have two operating system

For games

Because all this code is checked by security specialists and it makes for hackers harded to write malware.

It makes sense though desu

Arch w. Xfce

>Free and Opensource
>Not bloated like windows
>Does not spy on you
>Can use a wide arrange of desktop environments or window managers to customize however you want
>package managers are great to use
>more secure permissions systems and so on

The idea is that you have more pairs of eyes reviewing the code so security issues can be discovered

(Obviously not always the case though as time has shown how many occassions simple things have been overlooked)

>Does not spy on you

OS doesn't matter. Intel has that backdoor OS on their cpu. So does AMD probably.

Qt uses a lot of memory, KDE basically built on it.

This. Intel ME is the biggest thing actually and purity team didnt turn it off competently

Which is weird since KDE can be as light on memory as (pre GTK3) Xfce.

Chromebook.

Windows 8.1 with classic shell for steam games on my desktop and as my laptop OS, windows 7 for non-steam gaming on desktop

Isnt the obvious answer core2duo?

One of Qt developers makes his own OS, check this out, it's nice github.com/SerenityOS/serenity

Electron/NW.js/NodeJS+Chromium GUI apps are justified when they do more than just a minimal application like a calculator for example. Deal with it.

It probably has something to do with opengl caching like the article mentioned. Even SDL used a lot of memory with opengl support.
Qt can run on embedded systems without X or wayland.

didn't know he was a qt dev
