Prefixes, gamescope and theming without hacking the OS.

Run things without GUI and for headless operations. That's it, outside of that use case, pretty much a meme and useless operating system.
>>
>>106649584
Web dev is much easier on Linux. That's the only real advantage.

That's why I can't take linux users seriously.

>>106649584
Install a system update at the time of your choosing, or not at all if inconvenient
>>
>>106649609
okay, but what does that actually allow me to do?
>>
>>106649720
>without GUI
so how do you, you know, actually use it?
>>
>>106649584
Lots of ricing possibilities.. You can still rice Windows to an extent, but it's janky and limited compared to Linux.

What do they use Linux extensively for? It’s offered on Azure for anyone that wants it, but they have a custom Windows OS to manage it all.
>>
>>106649584
You can’t do anything on Linux, everything is locked down. Good luck trying to get the debug symbols, when they’re so easy to get on Windows!! Poorfags btfo

how is that useful to me?
>>
>>106650976
For me
SSH then run my command && nohup &; go back to my Windows PC.
>how is that useful to me?
0. Linux is useless for you.
>>
>>106649584
>Use barely any RAM
>Have very low CPU usage
>Update all your apps, drivers, etc from the systray
>Run old Windows programs without crashing on launch
>Use a file system approximately 30 years newer than NTFS, so that you get smaller filesizes (including essentially free System Restore Points) and less file corruption.
>Not get forced to restart your computer to install an update
>Not get spied on
>Install on any hardware
>Have any GUI you want
I could go on, but in the meantime, enjoy a Bacon Deluxe, lad.

Many, many things necessary to the development of software. My Arch install actually boots faster than Windows and shuts down faster as well with less bloat.

You'd know this if you were a computer programmer. The internet you use runs on Linux as well. Also, it's free. Free as in zero dollars and free as in free to modify.

To me, Windows is a hacky mess full of bloat while my Arch install is clean and lean, faster and better looking.

Marketers depend on your mentality:

Cost more = more gooder

Like a smart fridge! Look, it says smart on the label! And it's expensive! Very sophisticated! Not like the poors!

And like the smart fridge, it uses computing resources and internet data to force feed ads in your face, built-in bloat that slows your machine and intrudes on your mind.
