LINUX >> WINDOWS

I dare you to make one argument that favors Windows over Linux that doesn't depend on Windows' monopoly over desktop.

That means you can't use the following:
>muh drivers
monopoly (not an issue anymore btw)
>muh software
monopoly (lmao, wine is just as good and sometimes even better anyway)
>muh gaymes
monopoly (one word: proton)
>muh user-friendliness
monopoly (this argument is bullshit anyway, i can assure you that linux >> windows when it comes to ease of use, you're just used to windows)
>inb4 support
lol, this one is just a blatant lie but i guess this will be the only argument you winfags will think of so im going to answer it anyway. linux has far better online community support than windows (no, pajeets telling you to restart your pc doesnt count) and if you want professional support you can get it from suse, red hat, etc.

Admit it, Windows falls short when it comes to things that really matter like reliability, security, speed, privacy and customizability. I've never heard a winfag listing any of those as Windows' advantage. The only thing that's saving Windows is its iron grip of the market and you won't be able to prove otherwise.

muh east asian language support is awful both on Mint and ubuntu, can't be arsed to try others.
Wine is utter shit with non latin languages, garbled text and shit not launching outright.
Even MacOS has shit ton better support than linux.

based and redpilled

Who cares about language support? Its barely important in computing

Yellowfags have to contribute too if they want support for they're runes in wine.

linux looks like shit, feels like a cheap patchwork, and sometimes simply doesn't fucking work

Maybe try an east Asian distro, then. Just a thought.

>i can assure you that linux >> windows when it comes to ease of use, you're just used to windows
Yeah, I suppose this does become true after you put the amount of effort tech illiterates just don't have into understanding how the system works.

The crux of the matter is that when you reach this point you don't actually want or need easiness of use, do you?

>linux looks like shit
How do you see the kernel?

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.

just witnessed an archfag get owned the other day because software he needed didn't work lmao

>because software he needed didn't work
This didn't happen.

ok, pajeet

This never gets old

(im linux user)

unified behavior across the world, the only fragmentation is based on the different versions of the operating system, every five years or so they come with a new Ui or improvement. On the linux world you have Gnome, KDE, Unity, Xllfcfasgtwv2, i3, i3-gaps, meme123 but it dosent stop there, every year distros get a major update meaning every thing changes a bit meaning a grandpa not updating his distro for 3 years wont find the trash can on the latest ubuntu update.

Jamal from the US his granted a short vacations (restricted to 100km prison) goes to a computer and orders two tickets to Spain, he arrives in his destination country and now needs to find Antonio, goes to an internet cafe, knows exactly how the computer works and finds his tortilla con chorizo friend.

Charls from forchin uses bspwm, rando girl from a rando university ask him complete an algebraic work by using WIndows Word in exchange of sex and she lets him cum in his mouth, Charls declines pretending that sex is to cheap and he wouldn't ever do something like that but in reality he has no idea how to write formulas on Windox because he always used LaTex and google everything from the terminal.

>monopoly (one word: proton)
This is as dumb as people 10 years ago saying Wine makes Linux the better gaming os

it literally did happen, which is why I posted it

trannies btfo!

Found the problem

You do know video games are for children, right? Surely no self-respecting man would play with those things.

>I dare you to make one argument that favors Windows over Linux that doesn't include obvious facts that makes Windows superior to Linux

As a 100% GNU/Linux user, these threads are fucking retarded. Windows is better than GNU/Linux in every aspect for the average consumer.

GNU/Linux is made for developers by developers. Stop trying to make it your personal Jow Forums machine with copy paste dot files from plebbit and thinking you are superior to Windows users.

Prove it. Give me the bug report.

kek
soon Loonex will be the 'gaymen system' and no one can do anything about it.

>Windows is better than GNU/Linux in every aspect for the average consumer.
In the same way that dying of AIDs is better for the average consumer. Meaning it isn't. Non-free software is not good for anyone or anything. Not even the people who make the money from it.

what the fuck are you even talking about? I can make up specific examples too, watch.

>I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease. I believe in open development, and that very much involves not just making the source open, but also not shutting other people and companies out. There are 'extremists' in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do 'free software' any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred.

Besides muh games, a distro like Ubuntu is superior to Windows in every aspect even for an "average consumer".

>bug report
dont know if he did that or not, why would I be aware of it? all I know is he complained it didnt work and blamed it on arch. it worked for some other person using another distro

only communists can make strawmen like this, like all the other time they've made to defend this failed ideology.

That wouldn't really solve the problem with wine though...

Pretty much everything important runs of Linux. Even Microsoft runs on Linux.

Try aiding the development, then. If you aren't competent technically you can still ask nicely for the contributors to consider your request.

fucking yikes

Why don’t you look at the post I’m replying to that literally did the same exact thing. But you ignore that holler “straw man”! Why is that?

And I don’t care what you doubt, so why even bother replying to me?

I'm not retarded enough to work for free like communists do.

Then don't complain about issues if you won't try to fix them.

Not an argument, commie shit.

last year I would have laughed at you and denied it, but now that I am like one year on linux only I can say that you are right.

The fact that you keep name calling shows you have nothing of value to say.

You're running the bare kernel?

It would more than likely be runnin' z/OS, actually.

you wouldn't need it if you didn't push shit code then whine when everybody RYNO

poor penguin

i think arch's main problem is that it isn't retard-proof, yet attracts a disproportionate amount of retards to itself

>"fuck arch, it so unstable guyz, lel"
>"what did you do?"
>"i just edited some shit in /etc/ and now it doesnt boot xD, shit distro"

If you're incompetent, why bother being a developer? It's plain stupid.

redpilled

The problem is that it has an undue reputation of being difficult to install, so not only does it attract people who think they know what they're doing, but it emboldens them once they successfully install it. They don't realise that Arch uses a text based installer because that is simpler and easier to use.

actually the distro debian. The bare kernel would be hilarious.

>reliability
Windows has never crashed for me once, which is ironic because I crashed like 10 times using default ubuntu, even crashed so hard I got locked out of my DE, which then broke my install entirely..Simply by changing a monitor option.

>security
Works on my machine

>speed
What does this mean? it performs better FPS wise in pretty much all apps because of drivers and software being developed for windows.

>privacy
Sure, but nothing bad for me personally has ever happed based on using windows, or for millions of other people.

>customizability.
I've seen enough desktop threads to know 99/100 people just create a fucking mess of pixel fonts, or they just copy Mac OS.

Linux is cool but not as a home user OS

You clearly have been looking at reddit. Go back

Linux is a scam. It promises freedom but is proprietary.

All of these look strictly worse than default MacOS or Windows from a usability standpoint.

It's absurd, these people have no eye for design at all.
>durr I took away all the UI elements and then I put a porn background

desktop threads are for attention whoring imbeciles

even gnome looks better than windows in every way imaginable

>Unironically saying that the desktops look like a Mac's
Get back on your meds. You need them.

Linux is a kernel.

Windows 10 is the most secure OS ever. Much better than loonix, it gives you all the upgrades you want for no cost!

Use English then you fucking insectoid. Computers means English.

So far, that monitoring works real well. Despite Linux being a top choice for servers and mobile phones Windows still manages to have the most problems. Enjoy having all of your files deleted wincucks. Enjoy your ransomware. Enjoy. :^)

>Not using english when on pc

My native language is well supported by both windows and linux, and it drives me crazy that people actually use it instead of english, it's just unsuable... also, try googling error messages in language other than english.

wsg

>LINUX >> WINDOWS
error: invalid operands to binary >> (have 'char *' and 'char *')
Unless WINDOWS and LINUX are global constants, but you didn't point that out

Just like windows and mac, and every other os.

The difference is that with windows you'll get bluescreen with meaningless error code, and searching that error message in ms documentation gives you a meaningless description.

After rebooting in 7 of 10 cases you have no log about what actually happened nor you know where to search most of the time.

And no, windows doesnt work always, if ti works for you then great, you've found yourself the tool that works for you. But I just had always terrible experience with windows or just the entire enviroment that grew around this broken platform.

In this case, you'd be working for your own personal benefit. The fact that others benefit too is just a side effect. Right now, all you're doing is expecting others to work for free so your moon runes don't fuck up. Don't be a lazy faggot.

current thought:

xserver and screentearing, its still an issue in 2018, I even got the latest kubuntu and that thing has screen tearing not even sure if it runs xserver or wayland
I really dont understand how can they cot fix this for so many years
