Does anyone use Linux in your country?

If someone pulled out a laptop and booted a Linux distro, would people in your country think they're weird?

I use it, people don't even know what it is half the time

I like Debian. Normal people don't know what the difference even is

I use Linux for what I think is 2 or even 3 years now. I don't play vidya and work related apps work just fine with wine.

cringe, no programs, no games, no hardware drivers

id call the police if someone pulled out linux.

Only people who know what they are doing

Based desu

Everyone I know have Android phone which has Linux kernel, so yeah

I use Arch Linux btw.

been using linux since 2000 (slackware faggot). not many people use it, but ever since ubuntu came out and people were literally handing out cd-s on the street and in bars there's been a lot of people who have converted to linux. i understand the appeal of windows tho. it's just so much easier for tech illiterates

No one will give a shit what you use, autist.

Same. I enjoy using Redhat distros, but typically prefer Debian.

In general? Yes, most probably wouldn't even know what's going on
In my circle? Nah

Which linux should I use?

I do on my notebook.
My entire university runs Linux, too.

GuixSD

In all fairness, a lot of it's just convenience and compatibility. The average consumer would rather just be able to download something in an easy to use GUI than have to download something via command line (or have to install various packages to make something work)

I installed it on some of my relatives computers. They are happy with it. I use it but people at work think I am a nerd i don't even know how to code.
Windows is still installed on computers sold commercialy so it will stay dominant .

what if they wanted photoshop or something?

If you're just starting out I would say use Ubuntu. It's easy to use and user friendly. Though almost all Linux distros can be configured via installation have a GUI. CentOS or Mint might also be up your alley.

debian/ubuntu. don't bother with meme distros unless you feel like your life is worthless so you can spend precious time on them

Yes i do. Mac OS X

adobe photoshop

my блять
not linux, though it does have gnu and bsd components

fucking snowflake generation hard at work again

We used it on our high school computers

I like kde plasma

Linux is 28 years olds now

and it's still shite
why?

not so many
most of them are open source developers i think

They would think this is someone that spend a lot of time on computers

nobody pumps money into the codebase but rather all the linux software is written for free

Imagine if Windows XP GUI designers suddenly started to write a GUI for Linux? That would be awesome. But those people want money.

look at all the fortune 500 kernel contributors and think before you speak again, pleb

i have always preferred win 3.1 gui, but you certainly have a point there

I was talking about GUI design money and you are talking about kernel

I never said there is a single thing wrong in Linux kernel

We use Linux for research on physics.
Numerical calculations need reasonable and simple OS.

>Imagine if Windows XP GUI designers suddenly started to write a GUI for Linux? That would be awesome.
fuck no, current windows 10 is literally kde

Mainframes?

on the userland side of things, it's quite a catastrophe
millions of forks, distros, window managers, desktop environments and their utilities (file managers, pdf viewers, text editors, terminal emulators, etc.)
all of them do the same thing, maybe in different ways, or just have some other implementation
now what if these guys just work together?

Win10 GUI was written by different theam than the WinXP GUI

Actually WinXP GUI programmers were fired before Windows Vista was released

Can you really say there is anything wrong with Windows XP GUI?

>Does anyone use Linux in your country?
Yes we call them red eyed because they always have red eyes as they are forced to compile kernal everyday

all our scientists use linux. the most important reason tho is the power of command line. lots of science books now include short tutorials on how to automate things on the command line and they are mostly distro agnostic which is great

>XP
Fuck off with your fisher-price shit. Beta XP, now THAT was a GUI.

But anyway, KDE is pretty damn good and they actually have been improving their consistency and aesthetics by a lot over the past year or two. Some former apple guy has been contributing to it and blogging about it pointieststick.com/.
Valve is also now funding work on KDE but that's more on the backend side of things for improving performance and latency issues.

they will only develop for linux if microsoft tell them so, but they're already fired
so there's that

>Some former apple guy has been contributing to it
cool. i'll keep an eye on kde now. apple knows user experience
terveisin, macOS user

I use Mainframes.
And personal-use model(usual PC)
There're 16 usual PC in my lab for usual calculation, and we rent super computer in other place.So We can ssh-access to use super computer.
But, "usual PC" are each over 50,000$.They have 24 cores and 50GB+ RAM. have no displays and keyboards.

Yes.We are the same.

I study cs so yeah lots of people who I know use it.

i used to use ubuntu.

>mfw study cs at decent public uni and almost all machines are macs

I sometimes used Ubuntu or one of its derivatives (Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint)
currently I use Windows 10
Ubuntu or one of its derivatives like Mint
