When you see someone running ubuntu or arch

...

No I mean the proprietary one
Also KDE is the only DE with a file picker with thumbnails and fractional scaling

Nothing? Then I'll just keep using it, you unhelpful prick.

>No I mean the proprietary one
Just use Mac OS if you love proprietary software so much.
Then use their file manager. It isn't indefinitely tied to the DE.

I don't have the money for an applel

Stupid proprietard.
Just call it Ubuntu. The default DE of a distro is unimportant.

So it doesn't support Nvidia drivers then? Sad!
>b-but muh freedom
>b-but you don't need it
not an argument

It supports Nouveau, which is free software and infinitely superior to the proprietary malware that Nvidia craps out. If you want proprietary software you should not be using GNU at all.

Installed Ubuntu (minimal install) yesterday on a naked system after finally passing on Windows (I had already bought a copy and had it ready) - hands down, one of the most straight-forward and trouble-free installs I've ever done. Installing e.g. Spotify is like PlayStore-levels of simplicity...

Infinitely superior? Dude, nouveau provides practically no acceleration on Pascal cards.

>proprietary malware that Nvidia craps out
If Nvidia craps out malware, how does running nouveau make it any better, freetard? Need I remind you the GPU runs proprietary firmware which has access to system memory and all the other PCI devices without the processor even knowing about it?

>If you want proprietary software you should not be using GNU at all.
Why, because your boyfriend Stallman says so? That's not a valid argument.

>Dude
Oh fuck off, stupid negroid.
>nouveau provides practically no acceleration on Pascal cards
What's more important, your freedom or your mouse cursor moving a little smoother?
>Need I remind you the GPU runs proprietary firmware which has access to system memory and all the other PCI devices without the processor even knowing about it?
Maybe on newer processors, but only a moron would be used by such a thing.
>That's not a valid argument
If you want to be a slave to Nvidia you should have no objections to being a slave to Apple or Intel either.

>implying there's anything wrong with ubuntu

>Nouveau
>superior to the proprietary [driver]
user..

Why do you hate your own freedom? Do you want to live on your knees?

I am free to use the proprietary driver if I wish
that's a freedom too, you know. the freedom to choose

What are the general consensuses on Fedora, Debian, and Manjaro?

People often associate Ubuntu with GNOME or Unity

pretty good, it's the testing grounds for redhat

also pretty good

Not sure if bait or you're really this new
DMA has been a thing since the ISA bus on the original IBM PC. So unless you're running your programs on an Altair 8800, yes, your GPU can read your RAM

>its the testing grounds for redhat
Too bad RedHat is proprietary and dead. Fedora has always been better than RedHat because they cherry pick shit and often remove what is generally considered good because they don't like it.
>also pretty good
Yep.
>please stop breathing
Well, since you asked nicely.

You mean the freedom to be enslaved? You're missing the point of free software. Just go buy a pajeetOS box.
So? The default DE is unimportant.
You don't even know what you're talking about, just spouting memes. Show me the data being sent to and from the GPU and then being transferred over a network.

>Fedora has always been better than RedHat
you don't have a job, do you?

Attached: 1516835305463.jpg (1000x1000, 187K)

RedHat is the Windows of GNU.

>You aren't free unless you do exactly what I tell you to do
really made me think, Mr. Stallman.

No...
But owning RedHat would make me a bigger neckbeard than Fedora, so unemployment would be a bigger issue. Only real neckbeards pay for their freedoms.
Real socialists get their freedom free.

>But owning RedHat would make me a bigger neckbeard than Fedora
No but having a job would give you more insight into why redhat isn't dead

RedHat has been dead since version 7 and version 7 was YEARS ago. Dead as a fucking doornail.

Yeah, just let me buy a $1000 FPGA PCIe development board and spend 6 months developing a demo just to show some freetard on the internet how DMA works

>YEARS ago
this is exactly why it's popular, actually.
you should really educate yourself. linux as a desktop operating system is a small minority of all the linux boxes in the world

>Maybe on newer processors
So what CPU do you use, Jow Forumstard?

this. I hate the way that freetards insist that you're only free if you use their shitty programs
what if I want to chose the software that performs the best? am I not free to do that?

no, you are a slave and you should get the fuck out of this board

Are you telling me that people use RedHat for server systems?
Why not fucking Gentoo.

you're just a stallman drone with no individual thought or choices. what distro do you run by the way?
wow you really are just a typical basement dwelling zoomer, aren't you
have you ever heard of this thing called support?

>I can't prove something
>therefore it's true

>IMPLYING GENTOO DOESNT HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT
OH BOY I GOT A FUCKING SURPRISE FOR YOU KID.
THE RED HAT DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING PAJEETS. THEY ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FUCKING "BETA" DISTRO, FEDORA, THAN THEY ARE RED HAT AND HAVE BEEN FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

>>IMPLYING GENTOO DOESNT HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT
That is what I'm implying
your NEET really is showing, buddy

Fun-fact, the Google servers run off of Gentoo. If a billion dollar company like Google can use Gentoo for a server tool, than so can everyone else.
Sounds like it's supported enough to me.

are you insulting my freedom? repent you fucking heretic
when the leader hears about this... you just wait

>t. communist drone
>still doesn't know what enterprise support means
lol

at what age were you diagnosed with autism, friend?

He isn't a communist drone, he's a socialist drone, one.
Two, I obviously don't, fucking explain it to me. Still sounds like Gentoo is a more viable option if Jewgle uses it. Remember, Jewgle is fucking everyone. They will take over the world someday (if we don't start vocalizing our socialism).

What phone number do you call when you are having a problem with gentoo?
Oh, that's right, you go sit in an irc until some neckbeard finishes masturbating to loli and angrily types a halfassed response to you

also, he is a communist, all freetards are. probably antifa too

Attached: 1522306874295.png (637x209, 10K)

Gentoo has documentation, forums, mailing lists, and IRCs for support. Official support. From the dev team.
They don't have some stupid fucking number because they have a do it yourself mentality, which is why it is a better server tool. Only what you want/need out of it is present.
Also, why the fuck are you even using Jewgle, they were just an example, don't accept the Goolag. Use SearX.

kek
so I just say something and you believe it? is that how it works?
of course google doesn't run gentoo, how much of a naive retard do you have to be to believe that?

>Official support. From the dev team.
o im laffin

Attached: 1536069421086.png (717x148, 17K)

No, they do. In their offices they run Ubuntu to develop on, but on their servers they run Gentoo.
Chrome OS is based off of Gentoo dude. They love them some Gentoo over there.

what did I say that suggested to you I thought google uses gentoo? I don't know for sure either way
I do know that chromeOS is a gentoo flavor though

Still better. DIY >>> being a support line babby faggot.

>t. has never had a job related to or working with servers
I honestly don't know why I'm still replying to you

The fact that you still are replying to me shows that you don't have a job either.
Actually, being on this site means you don't have a job. Nothing you have said here means anything I can assume. You are just making shit up. Quit being a babby and install Gentoo. A part of Unix philosophy is that you do it yourself. Gentoo respects that. RedHat doesn't. Don't use a Unix based kernel if you aren't gonna follow Unix philosophy.

>Quit being a babby and install Gentoo
I have
>A part of Unix philosophy is that you do it yourself. Gentoo respects that. RedHat doesn't.
your boss doesn't give a shit about muh unix philosophy
he cares that if (when) something goes wrong, it is brought back up immediately and in the proper way

>dude
Oh fuck off, stupid negroid.

>Actually, being on this site means you don't have a job
so you are a NEET then you stupid retard?
how about you grow the fuck up?

This is why I only deal with free software. Being a community student currently, I only need odd jobs, my last job was at Domino's pizza.
I swear, if this is how it legitimately is, and I wouldn't doubt it because capitalism runs America, I am never going to work in software. I am going to develop free software anonymously to contribute to my favorite community is autistic man children.

you should probably just kill yourself, dude
not gonna make it.

>how about you grow the fuck up?
Where do you think you are right now. This is 'Autistic Man-Child Weeaboo: The Website'. Go back to fucking plebbit if you have a problem with it.
Fucking beaner trying to be cool right here.

good. nobody needs you breaking production systems, you are far better off writing shitty scripts nobody will ever use

he did it... the fucking madman he did it xD

I have a small apartment on a decent side of my town and I'm attending community college as a CS major (which I won't end up using if I don't conform to crapitalism, which I don't intend to do). I feel pretty confident in my life right now man.
When I lose a job, my parents pick up my bills until I'm on my feet again. If all else fails, I can go to live with them until I die from my unhealthy hermit life style.

Cue cue.
[insert le epic soimeme here]

>which I won't end up using if I don't conform to crapitalism, which I don't intend to do
wow the jew really got you, huh?
I honestly wish you do kill yourself, so at least you won't grow up and poison my kids minds with the same garbage that got you to the place you're in

>admitting to being underage
I shiggy diggy

unironically off yourself you degenerate commie

What part of that says 'underage'. In-fact, I recall typing out 'man-child'.
You wanna stop your kids from growing up this way? Block connections to Jow Forums from your router like an asshole (or just monitor what they do until you see that they go on Jow Forums, then block it, in-case you wanna use it for a bit longer).

I used Jow Forums from my junior year in high school until present day and I'm not a degenerate communist like you
not at all. maybe you're just a weak mind

I just dislike being fucked in the ass by big corporation. I'd hate to use the newest Win10 update for October as an example, but...

Dude... I feel sorry for you, really

Why?

Thank you for making me aware of its existence. Just need GNU Hurd and its obviously the future.

open your mind.
freedom doesn't mean doing what commie jew stallman says
freedom means doing whatever the fuck you want

I am doing what I want. I use Debian, which has some non-free software (systemd) built in. I like GNU/Linux. I don't like Windows and I don't like how Microsoft hires amateurs for professional jobs. Like, c'mon, files deleting themselves? Christ almighty.

How is systemd nonfree?

>Like, c'mon, files deleting themselves
not a problem for the enterprise releases
that said, I like it well enough. I run some flavor of linux on every computer in my house besides this one.
the point is, I feel like most freetards are in this kind of trap where they feel like they're not allowed to use any software that isn't approved by stallman or the Jow Forums hivemind
that's not freedom

systemd reports some data back to the NSA, is software that is centralized and developed by a definite group of people without any outside contributors, and has been known to sell (admittedly trivial) data to Google.

but it respects the four freedoms

>software spies on you
>but it respects the 4 freedoms
lol the absolute state of stallmanites

you can change it if you want nigger
why don't you stop being a nigger

I'm white as fuck
also, I use gentoo and devuan because I'm not niggerlicious like yourself

absolute state of freetards

Post the source code of your OS if you're so free.

but I can't

Are you not free to do so?

The only people who hate Arch or Ubuntu are sour grapes Debian faggots.

no, it'd be illegal

What happened to your freedom?

it's gone
