define better

>Is linux just a meme
Yes
>is it better than windows
Yes

windows is the absolute worst garbage on the market so yes obviously

From personal experince which have you perfered using and for what reasons

From personal experience I prefer linux mainly because all I do on the computer is listen to music, watch movies, torrent stuff, write documents in latex, read documents in many different formats and browse the web
This works quite simply on linux and even can allow me to automate it and customise it as much as possible and it doesn't come with any extra featuresI'm not gonna use. Why would I go buy a windows license when I don't need most of the features windows comes with out of the box and I can do them for free on linux WHILE having calm of mind when it comes to privacy issues

Understandble
Thanks for the answer

>what are use cases
I use Linux because the only thing that Windows offers me is shit that I'll never use (but someone else might)
it's not rocket science
get rid of the "my team vs your team" bullshit and use whatever works for you

>be you
>a gamer
>not even a skid yet
>is linux a meme :^)
I'd say windows is better for good goys like you

>play gaems on linux
>same or better fps as windows 10

My company fell for the meme and decided on Chromeboxes for flexible workspaces along with Citrix. Not very productive. Is there a way to bypass the Citrix sign-in with the Chrome OS sign in? Having to type my pass twice ten times a day is a fucking mess.

My use case? Well i dont computers for gaming anymore but i was asking because i wanted anons opinon for what they use a computer for and what they want out of an OS (more like a personal survey to help me understand the whole linux meme) sorry if i sound like a newfag

Linux is not a good desktop operating system.
But it is very customizable.

This whole thread was gonna be bait but i got some pretty good answers anyways funnily enough

>unironically posting here
I bet you haven't even noticed most of the posts here are paid advertisements yet

I use Linux as a hypervisor. I run Windows to play games, I use macOS for real work and I use GNU+Linux for certain testing environments.

In short: Whether or not GNU+Linux is good or not depends entirely on your case. Is GNU+Linux good for Desktop usage? Probably not, there are better alternatives out there.

if all you use your computer for is youtube facebook and porn then it doesn't even matter what OS you use

Thank you user
I think i got what i was looking for from your answer
Do you have many PCs/laptops or dual boot?

>facebook in 2019
Do people actually still use facebook? Color be suprised

>i wanted anons opinon for what they use a computer for and what they want out of an OS
I-i-im just dataming, s-sorry if I sound new

Which version of Linux are you on?

5.2 currently
on the NixOS distrubution because I can afford using something experimental and kinda neat

linux is a kernel, windows is an operating system

Linux because it's easier to use, easier to install, easier to troubleshoot, faster, has no DRM, has a terminal that's not as useless as cmd

Linux has no adobe, edius or video games
its not really a choice if you want those

iT'S A BETTER MEME THAN wINDOWS.

>adobe
Has less users than Linux
>muh games
Majority work fine.

Actually linux plays up to 80-90% of steam games (70% perfectly) according to proton.

>Has less users than Linux
so what? I need it for work
>Majority work fine.
not the ones I want to play
also probably not natively too

Depends on your use case. Generally windows is a better choice.

I hate shilling for Microsoft, but power shell is pretty good.

>Linux has no adobe
Reader, Photoshop Express, Lightroom, Scan, Illustrator Draw, Spark Post, Photoshop Mix, Fill and Sign, Create Cloud, Premier Rush, Photoshop Fix, Capture, Photoshop Sketch, XD (???) and many other Adobe Software Products are available for certain Distributions of the Linux Kernel.

Depends on the machine.
basic desktops, probably doesnt matter.
touchscreens/convertables, windows by a long shot. dont let gnomes skin fool you, it aint fit for purpose yet
laptop with dedicated (amd) gpu, kde/gnome is trivial, windows is tedious trawling thru radeon/windows settings for blessings

freedesktop needs to die

natively?

Yes, of course, officially published and supported by Adobe.

and no one told me
bastards

>certain Distributions of the Linux Kernel
Android?

It's better in every way, except if you want to play gaymes on it

It only looks good because cmd was unusable garbage

No, not a meme. If it works for you and your use case it's not bad. You have to have the right hardware though, but that applies to anything.

I play games often. I keep thinking of switching but everytime I use a Linux distro I have to wrestle just to get about the same performance with -some- games, and then have nothing on another set of em. I can't undervolt my GPU either. My gamepads are also fucky in different ways, depending on which one. Personally I'd rather not have the headache if I can't have any advantage besides a cute interface I can change. I'm all for sacrificing certain things to accomplish others, but not just so I have more "privacy" or faster boot times. Yesterday I was fiddling with Ubuntu MATE and sure enough it's decent, but out of the box it's already crashing without doing anything but updating it and somehow it doesn't like my external USB hard drive, so I had to use ntfsfix when chkdsk on Windows would show no errors. I'm not gonna complain too much about this either, but the animations skip frames half of the time or don't work at all. It's 20 the fuck 19. I get MATE is not designed to be the next generation DE and compiz (the only thing that doesn't lag, stutter or tear) is probably a little dated, but come the fuck on, it's an animation. Disabling mouse acceleration is convoluted as fuck too.

Like I get it on a laptop where you don't have much else to do than browse websites and read PDF files, but it just doesn't suffice. Not a meme, just not up there for some people.
