How many years of your life have you wasted away joining the cult of Linux?

Do you ever think about the great things you could have attained, had your better years not been squandered worshiping at the alter of FOSS? Many zealots dedicate themselves wholly to pure evangelization, only to be cast aside when the corporate overloads behind the curtain of this hobby OS “rebel” movement issue new dictums of current wrongthink. And if that weren’t bad enough, it’s been over 30 years slogging away for a system that is scarcely any more functional than Windows 95. Thank you for your attention to this matter, have a nice day.

It's pretty hard to calculate really.
I reinstalled linux around 3 times now, 2 because i got a faster storage (HD-> SATA SSD -> NVME SSD), and one because i was fucking retarded and symlinked the arch package repository folder to try to save space.
On each time it took me around an hour to config it as i want, probably 2 hours on the first go because i had to google how to do everything, so in terms of raw lost of time i would say 4 hours.

However, as i was in a HDD for most of this time, and i was (and am) using XFCE that makes the OS load significantly faster than windows 10 (say 30 seconds versus 2 minutes, there's time savings here.
Given i'm using linux for 3 years, give or take and 2 of those were with HDD (720 days), that's roughly 18 hours less in terms of boots.
Add 2 hours for the mandatory updates on Windows where you can't use your computer (assuming 10 updates), and well i lost around -20 hours of my life with linux.
>>
>>106427894
Whoops, i forgot to add the four hours after all that.
It's actually -16 hours lost with linux.

Use linux if you can, if you can't, use Win10 LTSC.
That's all that there's to it.
OSX is an absolute piece of shit OS, so is Win11, and anything that has autistic centered icons.
>>
>>106427998
Because some linux users are fucking annoying.
Not as much as ijeets, but they are.
"NO YOU'RE USING THE WRONG LINUX" etc..
>>
>>106428009
nigga how can they be annoying? like nigga just don't read their comments. just close your eyes nigga
>>
>>106428025
Well, they just are.
And that's coming from someone that is using linux for a while now.
For someone that is actually fine with win10 it just be even worse.

my career has been linux related mostly. do you know how much money i've made just by knowing linux?

I think the Linux Desktop is going to fail regardless. It would be better if someone makes a FLOSS desktop from scratch that normies can use.

I think the issue with Linux is that its hard for normies to use and its pain for software developers to release client based software on Linux. If someone makes a FLOSS desktop OS that eliminates those issues then it would replace Windows or if Linux fixes those issues than Linux would replace Windows.

But knowing Linux fags I doubt that they would listen and fix those issues.

I think I've put maybe 15 hours into linux breakfix in the last 15 years.

I stupidly belived the year of linux shitpost and forced myself to use it as my main desktop for 3 years. It was not worth it.

>>106430221
For me it's less than 30 minutes on Windows in the last 20 years.

The same could be said of modern Windows.

I'm pissed of that I didn't learn about it sooner. While I was wasting time with DOS and windows 3.1 I could have at least learned unix basics instead, sadly as a kid I was completely unaware of it. Since I started using it maybe 15 years ago now I have used nothing else. Personal use business use all. Only time wasted was not getting into it sooner

I spent years and years trying to make Linux "work". Endlessly distrohopping, DE hopping, WM hopping, thinking with enough effort, I could put something together that felt polished, stable, and capable. Linux tricks you like that, because there's so much variety and the system is so open (meaning it's easy to fix a lot of things, build your own system, and find workarounds yourself), you think that with enough effort, you can finally have the perfect desktop.

But no matter where you go, there's always some stupid fucking bug or rough-edge that you can't get away from. The people who are content with Linux are, by and large, people who are either blind to bugs, okay with "good enough", or just don't happen to run into the edge cases where Linux falls apart. I've gotten close to perfection, only to have it ruined by a shitty update by freetard devs who don't care about QC at all.

Mind you, Windows is no fucking better. It is a dogshit, painful nightmare in its own right, and the people who shill it as a "just werks" OS deserve death. I do not have much experience with MacOS, but I imagine the story is pretty similar there and I don't trust the shills for a second. Pretty sure every OS just fucking blows.

idk bro i just use my computer for the same thing on linux as i would on something like macos

Whites banned men marrying young virgin girls, so no, nothing could be achieved.

The only thing that would have been "achieved" would have been serving my enemies interests and working for their benifit. Which I will not, YHWH willing, do.
