"FREEDOM " *= 10

Doesn't force updates on me at the worst possible times. Also free as in beer. Idgaf about OSS freedom crap.

string str ="";
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
str += $"{i +1}. FREEDOM\n";

>Lets me administer my system how I want right from the start, no special versions required
>Free as in free beer (no licensing and keys to install)
>Free as in freedom
>the shell
>no forced updates on any version
>No forced upgrades on any version
>Entire OS is your my development environment
>Penguins are cooler than windows

i hate windows and microsoft

Fuck, missed one.
>5 minute installs

comfy
just werks as much as windows/macos
can make it work however i want
lightweight
the community, albeit a bit mean, will help users and are passionate
free as in free
can reinvigorate older hardware
doesnt advertise bullshit to me
user choice in almost every aspect
its something a bit different, y'know

it just works. i dont even remember when i installed this distro and it can run for months without any problems

- She's a girl!
- She's a tomato!
- I love her!!!!!

>automation is very intuitive
>can create ramdisks on the fly
>a mail system is basically built in, fully integrated with Thunderbird
>file based systems are great; i can tell Linux what to do with simple file write commands
>amazing community support
Oh, it's also free as in free beer, but that isn't really a reason to choose a private is for imo

1.Because Win 10 and Mac OS are not computer operating systems for adults, they are toys for children
2. - 10. See above

brainlet. powershell is unironically more powerful than lunux shells.

1. So I'm not a faggot like OP

1. one
2. two
3. three
4. four
5. five
6. six
7. seven
8. eight
9. nine
10. ten

Was this suppose to be hard?

1 steam for much games
2 because Microsoft put ads in start menu.
3 because Microsoft fucks up my system when it updates.
4 because I'm tired of restoring from backups every fucking time Microsoft fucks it up with previously mentioned updates.
5 fuck telemetry on windows 10.
6 because I can't get XP to work on my current laptop.
7 I didn't have to do much with xubuntu. It basically just werks.
8 so I can brag on Jow Forums about my OS usage.
9 yeah let's just mention steam again...new steam updates made it possible to leave MS forever now.
10 and finally I now once again own my computer, as opposed to leasing it from Micro-Dick.

Things I hate about Linux.

1 lack of software.
2 difficulty in regards to installing software.
3 fuck the terminal in the ass.

Powershell? you can run that on Linux :^)

There's a package manager for Windows btw. It's called chocolatey.

>open source
>config files
>package manager
>networking
>bash
>root
>system design
>development
>supported file systems
>it is beautiful

1.) I like having a package manager
2.) MUH FREEDOM
3.) Some open-source software runs better on Linux (e.g. mpv)
4.) It allows me to have an up-to-date OS on my shitty old laptop, that can't handle Win7
5.) I like being able to choose between different DEs
6.) It's easy to set everything up to compile software from source
7.) Updates are fast and don't require a restart
8.) I already know how to write bash scripts
9.) Fedora specifically somehow gives me less of an headache on my Surface Pro 4
10.) I hate Window's terminal

>free as in freedom
pretty much this
ask again when Windows goes FOSS

1. You can run it on gnu/linux no problem
2. I had to learn it at work and script stuff with it for about 9 months. It's fucking cancer and you know it.

The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Freedom
Free
Update when I want
Better Update mechanism
Easy and reliable way to install software
OS is a full IDE on it's own
Like to look at code and learn from it
No ads
Supports my broadband internet stick without needing some thirdparty software running
Plug in Phone or similar device, get access to filesystem without some thirdparty software

1. save
2. does what I want
3. customizable
4. open source
5. programs are a lot less bloaty, focused on function
6. easy to use
7. easy to upgrade
8. easy to backup
9. rock stable
10. no big company behind it, trying to make as much money out of me as possible

File systems
Fast
Lightweight
Doesn't BSOD
Easier CLI
Better performance
O P E N S O U R C E
other things

1. no botnet (compared to windows)
2. lightweight
3. customizeable
4. no need to install gazillion drivers after you've set up the os
5. i hate microsoft and proprietry software in general because poorfag and privacy-fag

That being said, linux is shit and inferior to windows 7 in almost every other aspect as a desktop OS. Secretly hope to switch to Fuchsia in the future if someone forks and de-google's it.

1. Free as in free beer
2. Free as in free speech
3. Customization. You can compile your own kernel for your CPU with our optimization
4. Works perfectly with GNU
5. Runs literally any hardware imaginable (excluding 286 and older CPUs)
6. Free community support
7. Works perfectly with Android
8. UNIX-like
9. Supports many FS
10. GNU/GPL, so no anal slavery, compared to other commercial products like Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X

Yes but not integrated directly

Where are the reasons

Oh. I though question was why do I use Linux.

11. I can install whatever DE I want
12. Free software becoming better
13. Has surprisingly less bugs, than commercial stuff.
14. Majority of GNU/Linux distributions have package manager, so no more searching for software in dark corners of the Internet
15. You use the software, not software uses you. (i.e. no forced updates)

win 10 user here
chocolatey is slow as shit
linux definitely beats windows in this aspect m8

I do not use "GNU+Linux" but I do use the Linux operating system. Had you made a serious thread, I might have decided to share my wisdom.

onions

>libre
>stable
>package manager
>fast

>botnet free (distro dependent)

> i hate microsoft for collecting muh data

> package managers are handy to say the least

> Genuinely interesting to know how the os works

> Less overhead, so better performance

> Customizable to my needs/preferences

> most linux software is free

> Feels good to know i have complete control over my machine

Idk thats it i guess

>le powershell
yeah totally
powershell is a shite, too complicated stuff for nothing
bash is just werks, can do anything at any time

>fuck the terminal in the ass
>noobuntu user
the shell is one of the most redeemable qualities of linux and unix that can't be matched by anything microsoft ever creates as a scripting language

Because I have nothing better to do with my life so I get satisfaction from running half broken software on the imaginary premise that somehow I will brake free from the proprietary jew.

1. pacman
2. bash & scripting
3. superior filesystems
5. runs anywhere.
6. remote access with ssh+sftp. if windows ever had a solution to that, they'd need a better shell too, because you really can't do shit with ps
7. I can give it to my mom without having 20 toolbars installed
8. kde
9. gratis + libre
10. just werks

>1: Free
>2: ""Secure""" LOOOOOOOL LMFAO at least more secure than Applel's MacToyOS and WinSHIT any day
>3: I don't have to fret over nor bother with any premiums nor licensing of any sorts
>4: Yaourt & AUR are both simple, quick, and easy, and both easily beat apt any day
>5: Tabbed file managers
>6: Broader selection of completely free file managers which of course include tabs as well unlike Explorer which still does not have nor support tabs
>7: Broader selection of desktop environments
>8: I don't have to worry about anti-virus programs for protection from/against malware because the only real malware that nowadays that targets Linux operating systems are crypto-malware
>9: Broader selection of penguin operating systems for me to choose from
>Updates and Upgrades are nowhere near as shitty, naggy, nor as slow as Windows's BULLSHIT updates/upgrades nags and process and software installations are a breeze thanks to yaourt

Microsoft and Applel FUCKERS can all fuck right off and eat a bag of shit as well as drink their own bottled urine

I like it.

>quietly activates bitcoin miner in the background

It's sad there's not a single adequate statement in the thread. I know that Jow Forums is a bunch of retarded manchildren but I hoped there'll be a couple of adults that can say something interesting.

makes crappy laptops run faster

0. ethical
1. hackable/customizable
2. not controlled by a single pajeetcorp

Yeah but it's shit

>easier to update
>easier to install software
>easier to get work done with doing anything technical
>freedom to do shit the easier or the harder way, lets me do what the fuck I want
>doesn't allow me to be as brainlet as you
>package managers
>lighter weight
>the community has far less brainlets, like you
>far more options for doing what I want
>file picker doesn't show stupid thumbnails so I can't see all the garbage I have in all my folders

It works well on really shitty hardware
It's easy to set up on really shitty hardware

That's it.

Freedom
It works
You can fix it when it breaks
It's fast
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

no ligma! so I'm safe.

What else would I use?

1. Freedom
2. Not made under the profit motive
3. No botnet
4. Control over my system. Never once do I get 'access denied' as the administrator, unlike windows.
5. Ties into 4 but no forced updates or reboots.
6. Lighter on RAM
7. Faster boot times
8. Smaller disk space usage
9. Integrated package managers
10. Easier to program
11. Extreme customization.
12. Ties into 11, but I can if I so chose build my own system from the ground up, piece by piece, as I see fit, and create any combination of possibilities.
13. Better support for fixing problems
14. Much fewer drivers required. Most devices are plug and play.
15. Easier to work with file systems and partition methods.
16. Bash goes at the end because it's available on Windows now but it's still worth mentioning. I don't think zch or other alternate shells are though.
17. I get to look and feel cool using it.

Oh, and, one more
18. Allows me to learn more about how computers work if I want to, while at the same time offering options for those who don't.

Good bait
