>The majority of Jow Forums still uses Windows

Why? Do you enjoy being spied on and given targeted advertisements at every opportunity?

If your reason is games, you can fuck off to /v/.

There is no reason to use the proprietary Windows operating system in our current age of existence. If your employer is forcing you to use proprietary software, you should seek an alternative or find a new job; they are oppressing your individual freedoms, which is tantamount to absolute subjugation to a company that will happily sell all your data to any government agency who pays/orders them to do so.

freetards everybody

OS X macbook for work
Windows 7 desktop for games

visual studio

Should've added this one to the filter list a while ago

wow Chloe Grace Moretz looks like THAT?!

We need to autoban the discussion of linux for a few days, Jow Forums. Not forever, just for a few days, until the over zealous Linux users realize that they are only 1% of that market and it is NOT fair that 1% of the market gets half the threads and discussion here. This isn't representative of the populace and is NOT FUCKING FAIR. I come here to discuss technology, particularly computers. Why is such a small minority in this arena practically owning the fucking board?

I do use Windows, and while I have apple, at least the Macfags and the threads here are representative of population and market of OSX users. Unlike the tiny Linux using minority here that seems to make at least 3 threads a piece, because I know there is not that fucking many linux users.

STOP SHITTING UP THE BOARD WITH SUB PAR SHIT

Jow Forums has been GNU since ever, it's the /v/ and Jow Forums bleeding over and the face that Jow Forums goes nirnslfag tier that made windows an acceptable OS.

Fight the shills, join fglt or piss on the grave like everyone else.

>There is no reason to use the proprietary Windows operating system in our current age of existence
Adobe stuff. GIMP is fine, but it just doesn't cut it by far. I only use Windows for that and nothing else. Rest I do is in my Debian.

that is one grotesque face

It's more like 70% when you take Jow Forums denographics into account. Also way more people are using linux nowadays

True but that body is worth it

i want to let microsoft know my superior taste in porn when they spy on me

>Do you enjoy being spied on and given targeted advertisements at every opportunity?

It's the only social interaction I have aside from Jow Forums

>idgaf
People like you shouldn't even have voting rights tbqh.

And that is coming from someone who uses Windows in very limited sense.

I think the nose is cute...

I only vote for the party labeled fascist, I don't give a shit about politics.

*linux

Do you know the origin of the word "idiot"? It's Greek, for people who "didn't gave shit about politics". How fucking dumb you have to be for this edgy teenage "nihilist" stance?

As long as I get to keep doing research it's all I care about .

This guy gets it.

Collecting shemale porn isn't "research" user.

go rice your distro elsewhere, autismo

Sorry, I use software that is Windows based, just recently they added OSX support but I have no interest in the Apple ecosystem. I use debloated win7 and have that shit locked down like Fort Knox.

>How fucking dumb you have to be for this edgy teenage "nihilist" stance?
Dunno man, if 3/4 of the current world population were to be obliterate tomorrow I wouldn't bat an eye.

>Locked down like Fort Knox
>Meanwhile NSA still has hardware-level access to your machine at any time due to M$ backroom deals

Solidworks, Adobe suite, drivers support, office suite... I use loonix daily but a dual boot with winblows is obligatory for basic work unless you only do code

My production machine isn't connected to the internet if that helps.
I have a debian install on my online machine but don't they still have hardware backdoor access anyways?

Point and laugh at this newfag. Windows was always welcome on Jow Forums until Windows 10 happened and freetards started shitting on it. I mean, they weren't wrong, 10 is a piece of shit, but now they get tumblr tier triggered every time they hear about anything Microsoft.

>he uses windows
>speaking of sub-par shit.

Windows 10 is the only non-shit version of windows, or at least it would be if it weren't a literal malware.

My employer doesn't give a fuck if they sell our data as long as microshit promises to fix possible problems that wouldn't be reparable or would cost a huge amount to the bussiness when using FOSS.

Only using Windows because of muh vidya games.
Whenever I don't play games that require Windows I'm running Manjaro since Windows sucks ass.

Except 7 exists. Windows 10 has nothing worth mentioning over 7, it's basically a re-skin with some minor improvements and a lot of bullshit.

Games.

>If your reason is games, you can fuck off to /v/.
I'm not going anywhere, sweetie.

sweatie*

>Idiot is a word derived from the Greek ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs ("person lacking professional skill", "a private citizen", "individual"), from ἴδιος, idios ("private", "one's own").[1] In ancient Greece, people who were not capable of engaging in the public sphere were considered "idiotes", in contrast to the public citizen, or "polites"[2]. In Latin the word idiota ("ordinary person, layman") preceded the Late Latin meaning "uneducated or ignorant person".[3] Its modern meaning and form dates back to Middle English around the year 1300, from the Old French idiote ("uneducated or ignorant person"). The related word idiocy dates to 1487 and may have been analogously modeled on the words prophet[4] and prophecy.[5][6] The word has cognates in many other languages.

>windows 7
Yeah, no, it's shit. The only good thing about win 7 is it's UI

>locking down windows
is this really possible??

what's microsoft going to see? A hundred google searches on stackoverflow? Or writing hello world in 10 languages? The most controversial website I visit is Jow Forums and the level of shitposting has reached levels beyond that of /b/

I have a macbook pro, pc and a linux laptop. The linux machine hasn't been turned on in 4 years because there's nothing to do on it. I spent months tweaking it to be just right but that's about it. I can't run UE4 or unity on it because the laptop doesn't have a decent gfx card. It's boring as fuck because every piece of software I need is already on windows. I code on ide's for windows and mac. What benefit does running linux give me?

What's the point of quoting the wiki article which confirms him?

I doubt it. It's pretty much sure that several 3 letter agencies have backdoors in the kernel itself.

underages please leave

How is 10 so great then if it's literally 7 + botnet and pajeet code? You must be fucking retarded.

Adobe suite, I need to do professional work. And I'm not being a soyboy using shitty MacOS.

Jow Forums is a board for tech literate people.
At least 40% of tech literate people use a Linux distro as their primary os.

Not the autist who you're replying to, but Windows 10 is faster, also lot of backends fixed since windows 7 like audio bluetooth. Also DPI support is really good, programs can switch dpi between displays. Something I miss since switching to Linux.

>At least 40% of tech literate people use a Linux distro as their primary os.

Gonna need a source for that.

Linux users, you are not immune to spying, this isn't the 90's.

To triggers /g autism, that's why I use it because since it has come out there is non stop obsessive #botnet threads, just accept I like it and some others do and just using Linux won't stop nsa etc

when you talk about computer systems, Linux is without contest the most used system. Windows is the sub par. The fact that you ignore it, doesnt make it less true, just makes you more dumb. Chances are, the servers u use to jerk off and shitpost are all linux. Tech illiterate useless organism.

is this real

Linux isn't any more secure or anything. I laugh when I hear people use Linux for those reasons

I went through a tech phase in my teens but to be honest it's all just mindless consumerism
I just want a machine that works so I can concentrate on other things

is this sophisticated brapposting?

You're an idiot and probably gay.

You really think Jow Forums is representative of the general population? If that was the case, almost every thread would be about social media apps.

I've been collecting these since 2016, so here it goes.

There is no reason to use a server OS turned into a hackish hobbyist dumpster fire desktop OS when there exist professionally developed operating systems that allow you to run commercial software natively.

If you aren't a programmer, why do you give a flying fuck? Open sores is great for the 0.001% of computer users that are programmers, but for the rest of us that aren't, open sores is just buggy garbage developed by a bunch of socially inept, fat basement dwellers that need to learn how to interact with other human beings without a keyboard, use a razor and take a fucking shower. Seriously. Turn off the anime and go meet a real girl, nerd.

>Linux
>Most used system
Guaranteed, if you total up every single desktop, laptop, server, workstation, and super computer, Linux would not be the most used. It's already slipping when it comes to servers, and right now in the server space it's literally only *web* servers that Linux is ahead in. I suppose if you add in Android as Linux, then Linux gets a little boost there at least until Google dumps it for Fuschia.

Windows is the dominant OS overall, losing only in phones, super computers and public web servers but Linux is losing ground rapidly to Azure every single day. But hey, at least Microsoft is releasing their own Linux distro to partner it up with azure in cases like embedded systems where a full operating system just isn't feasible.

>The majority of Jow Forums still uses Windows
I always thought Jow Forums was full of tards anyways.

is there any copypasta Jow Forums doesn't fall for?

Oh god Jow Forums please never change. I come here because it's like watching those really bad reality shows with really disgusting people, like Hoarders, where it's such a fucking train wreck but you can't look away and at the end of it all, you feel so much better about your normal, average social life and friends because at least you're not a Jow Forumsentooman

I think the nose might be fake. And the cheeks, and the jaw. The proportions seem a little too deliberate or intentional if that makes any sense.

I thought the majority did NOT use Windows based on strawpools we've had

Jow Forums BTFO

because linux is useless and anti-productive outside of the server world

Japs are weak and submissive, their opinions don't count.

No doubt. There are other less fake looking ones too.

>osx for work
Your company is wasting money

You are wasting your life and potential.

Windows users should use their containment board /v/. Jow Forums is for Jow Forumsentooman who value freedom over mindless trash like windows and video gaymes

>You are wasting your life and potential.

Every recreational usage of computers is a time waste. Including Jow Forums.

If you have to use adobe use wine. Adobe cs6 works fine on wine on gentoo. If you're using adobe's creative suite cloud bullshit then you're already too far gone.

fuck off freegan
go back to r/communism

are those tits real?

Well, kill yourself for starters...

I know Windows. I've used it for over 20 years. It's comfortable, familiar, predictable. It has never failed me. To do everything I want in Linux is to learn it all again, because it's different. Why relearn to do things I want NOW NOW NOW?

Explain why I should give two shits about a 'botnet' or telemetry.

>Explain why I should give two shits about a 'botnet' or telemetry.

Would you allow a stranger on the streets to make a random check of your pocket contents? You probably don't have anything inside them which could put you into trouble, but you'd still be furious. It's the same thing.

Neets cant afford macbook

>What is a loan

Those are obviously implants. Nice, but fake. Still would hit it with a cosmic fotce and everyone who says he wouldn't is a liar or faggot.

discussion of videogame technology like gaymen grafix cards and gaymen peecees belongs on /v/ just like discussion of consoles and their hardware belongs on /v/. simply because there are tons of /v/ermin here doesn't mean they should be.

apple and windows discussion is okay and belongs here but you should expect to be laughed at if you are espousing either.

if a bunch of indians suddenly start flooding into a Kroger when an Indian supermarket is next door it doesn't mean Kroger is an Indian supermarket too.
