Is there anything sadder than Linux users? I legitimately feel sorry for them desu...

>Music, porn, video games, programming and pirating.
Most people don't play video games on their home computers and the rest is easily accomplished with Linux. Get out of your bubble. Not everyone is a tween.

I'm 31.

Is there anything sadder than OP? I legitimately feel sorry for his parents. In any sort of discussion about sex, he is constantly talking about his struggles picking up even the ugliest girls and at the end of the day I just feel sorry for him. He purposely avoids human contact so that he can derive a sense of celibate similar to a high school kid who just starting listening to anime openings. Quite sad to watch.

Is there anything sadder than a 31-year-old still playing videogames? Pathetic.

Me, I'm 33 and occasionally still play some games so I'll come to OP defense. Nothing wrong with it.

i think that what you actually want to refer is the os GNU+Linux and not just the kernel Linux

Based and redpilled

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering 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.

No, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system)!= (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

>muh games
Yeah, I play a lot of them in Linux. It's great.

Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.
You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?
If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this:
Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.
Thanks for listening.

>games
Srsly? Is that the most important thing to you?

not only are videogames a bad thing for anyone that isn't a teenager but you're also wrong.
you can run most games on linux under wine/lutris/proton. inb4 "but you can only run titles from 20 years ago!!!", see pic related.

I use a desktop with Windows for gaming/jewtube, a Linux laptop for work, and a Mac for going to Starbucks and flexing on poorfags. I don't understand why everyone acts like you can only have one OS in your house. Hell, I have 4 fucking laptops all with various Linux distros on them because I enjoy playing with various options.

I bought Assassin's Creed 2 on UPlay, tried to run it under Windows 10 and it failed. Found out that more people have the same problem and UPlay support sucks. Tried it under WINE on Linux, it just worked.

I'm an electronics engineer and I do nothing but smoke weed, listen to music and play video games when I'm at home. I enjoy it.

Like what?

How much work went into getting that to run?

How do you have so much shekels?

Linux just isn't meant for vidya. The entire reason the thing even exists is Linus being to poor to buy an actual UNIX OS and going "Fuck this shit. I'll make my own".
Linux is, by design, a free (as in beer) UNIX-like OS, meant to be used in the same way UNIX itself was/is meant to be used: for or actual work.

vidya friends so far up their poopy place that they can't even imagine someone not playing vidya

i dont like it when my machine recive updates from microsoft server without knowing wtf..
i give up games and adobe for that.
but games with vulcan engine may work better on gnu/linux if you know how to configure it games like totalwar..

I've been playing EROTIC Games on linux for some time now. There is truly no reason to use windows any more.

most games are like 10 mins on the wine site and just follow the instructions, or if they're on lutris it does it for you.

>Is there anything sadder than Linux users?

Cause I'm a good goyim.

But really, most of the laptops I got for cheap/free. The desktop was a gift. The only thing I spent significant money on was the MacBook.

Amiga fans, back in the day, were worse.

>purposely
deliberately

what a fucking consumer

this is the best answer

this man gets it. I also have a windows laptop because its compatible with all my schoolfag tech, mac os music production station and linux desktop for heavy lifting/development. use them all who cares

I have never talked about that. Probably because I also have a PS4, BC PS3, Wii U, GC, N64, SNES, Vita, and 3DS. If I can't play a game on Linux or one of those other platforms, then I don't get the game, and the dev doesn't get my money.

windows is already crafted to be perfect as it is, there is no need to customize it.

i use linux because it's fun. i don't give a fuck if it's a hobbyist Os; it's fun to play with, whereas windows is dull; and macos i wouldn't want to even touch

Nothing wrong with having a common hobby. Video games are a common hobby just like how listening to music is a common hobby. You're pathetic as fuck for thinking video games are only meant for kids. IMO, if you can afford the time to play video games at 31, you're doing pretty damn well.

Just be unemployed and collect welfare and you can gayme 18 hours a day. People who spend more than a few hours a week playing games usually have no social life, have low IQ and are losers in general.

>Is there anything sadder than Linux users?
Yes, adults who play with video games.

That same thing can be said about literally any hobby. If you spend more than a few hours a week on a computer you are a worthless tumor on society.

As a Linux user I genuinely feel sad for Microsoft users.

Otherwise I'm feeling pretty great thanks for your concern, Bill Gates.

Video games are a cancer to society, if one of your major hobbies are video games, you are part of the problem

As someone who very casually plays video games, I agree with this. I know so many people who's "hobby" is video games. Most of them have no real life skills. All they do is work and play video games when they're not working.

If your hobby is wood working, at least a product comes out at the end. Getting trophies on an xbox means nothing.

You're so sad

I hope that one day user, you will realize that Video games provide nothing productive to your life and on that day you will be able to free yourself and become a better person in the process

Until then, i hope you enjoy getting a 6 inch RGB Razer dildo up your ass for as long as you defend the "gamer" ideology

>Getting trophies on an xbox means nothing.
There is an entire genre of trophy hunting on Twitch and streamers make money with it. So fuck you freeturd, eat shit.

Gamers are a form of entertainment just like movies and tv shows, neither of them are productive but you are acting like they are some kind of demon
are you a facebook mom or a sad linux programmer

Watching people play video games is even more pathetic than playing them you oxygen wasting cunt.

>watching people play games
>not playing them yourself
oh lawd

Spot on, user. There's nothing wrong with playing vidya in your free time but as a hobby it's just plain autistic.

This
watching someone playing games is the most pathetic thing someone cna do

Holy fuck this can't be real

Doing speedruns and watching speedrunners is more autistic

True, if i were a full time speed runner (as a job) i would seriously consider suicide, wouldn't surprise me if people already did kill themselves in that scene

A lot of speedrunners are trannies and literal spergs
there is nothing fun with trying to beat a game as fast as possible without actually playing it

What is Wine?
What is Proton?
What is Lutris?
Not only that, but drivers are easy as fuck to install now. I play gaymes all the time on GanooslashLincucks and there’s no problem at all. Not only that, but none of the above takes any work that a simple web search would fix. I’m so fucking tired of this broke ass meme along with the “B-B-BUT GAYMES ARE FOR GAYS DAWWWWWWW” crowd. It’s just so fucking annoying to have this thread everyday.

Imagine having to tinker your games for hours like they are emulators
is this the state of Jow Forums?

Jow Forums doesn't play with childish little games.

Yes it only watches manly animes

Why is this always the retort underage gamers use?

Did i hurt your feelings?

Yep. Anime rules and games are for children. Suck a fat one.

One of the reasons I switched to Linux ages ago is because of the games I used either worked in Wine or froze/were unplayable in Windows. Besides games, I already used programs that ran under Linux. As of today, there is not a single game in my collection that doesn't run under Linux natively or some other way.

You don't need to be productive 24/7 of your life, too much video games or let alone anything is bad and that includes working. Relax sometime.
