I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.

And if you dont breath you die, so?
Great post, how about telling us something we dont know?

I have no argument against it.
You win, OP.

True, Windows is far better at spying on you.
Owen Jenkins
Really, what's the point of shilling against an operating system that has roughly 2% market share? Are they really that scared over it?

It really depends. I find in my highly customized arch install im far more productive than I could be on windows. Linux simply allows more control over your system, so you can customize it to your needs.

Congratulations, you figured out the secret. Noone cares what OS you use as long as you get the job done. As long as you can do it. The only reason Jow Forums is such a hotbed for linux and obscure distros is so they feel content with their sad lives on a site they spend all day on.

literally the only advantage of linux is security.

That's not how that works. Fox and the grapes only works when one of the two isn't accessible. Since Windows is so accessible that it's actually difficult to avoid contact with it, and Linux is free to download with quite a few easy to install distributions, neither one of them are inaccessible. You'd need to be talking about something like macOS vs Windows/Linux where those who can't afford to buy a Mac or build a hackintosh can't reach the delicious apples and content themselves with the sour grapes of Windows/Linux, claiming they taste better than those stupid apples anyway.
It's the equivalent of young children picking on someone they like instead of showing their genuine affection.

Hey OP, I bought a ps4 controller.
It works without any sort of config when I plug it into my linux.
It doesn't work at all on windows. I have to download some odd software I never heard of.
Ian Lewis
Windows (Win7 to be more specific) is better than linux at being a desktop computing OS.
On the other many, many, many tasks linux is better, not just as server, but at embedded and specific tasks in general.
Josiah Long
>implying you can have any security at all a winshit workstation
There's a reason why secure workstations are sold loaded with Linux or Unix, not micropenis shitblows. I work for a US government sub contractor and Windows is outright banned on our campus. They did it right after Google decided to ban it on their campus. Windows is literal malware.
Parker Myers
>>forced updates
>can be scheduled
They can be scheduled on Loonix too. It's called cron.
The big issue people have with forced updates though is not the fact that they happen, but the fact that they almost always require a restart or interrupt a person's activities. In GNU/Linux systems, they rarely require a restart or interrupt you at all.
>>slow startup time
>win7 was slower
Yeah and GNU/Linux has been and continues to be faster than either of them.
>>telemetry
>can be disabled
Opt-in should always be preferred to Opt-out. Always.

oh yeah, just that little minor thing...
