Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?Do you care at all about the blatant spyware shoved into your OS?
>>109003903what kind of internet connection do you think you're on, retard
>>109003903As a Gentoo user, I'm not
>>109003917>WhataboutismFuck off
>>109003923
>>109003934You gonna make an argument or are going to pull the "everything is le hecking spying on us so it's okay if I let them do it more" shit?
I have a job.
>>109003939This is the only valid answer to OP's question.
>>109003903
>>109003903I'm not a troon
>>109003953Being brown isn't much better
>>109003903If you really care about privacy and spyware then you shouldn't be online.
>>109003970Being online isn't an option in the modern world. Life doesn't work without it anymore.
>>109003903last time i tried linux it was basically unusable because my laptop has hidpi and there was no fractional scaling.
>>109003939I use Linux at home and at my job
>>109003917Illogical, if the ISP level spying was working they wouldn't need to waste time and resources putting spyware into Windows OS. Why would the glowniggers need to hack phones and implant spyware if they could get 100% of the intel from the main internet backbone level? See how your childlike response breaks apart with the base level of logic and critical thinking? >If the situation was hopeless, they wouldn't need to flood us with propaganda>If you can't overthrow a government with AR-15s they wouldn't want to confiscate themIt's the same thing here>If they can see every thing you do via ISP level backdoors why would they need to waste time and money making your OS come with root kits and keyloggers? Like seriously, why would Windows OS need keyloggers natively if all the keys are logged at the fiber backbone?
>>109003903SolidWorks is the only reason I boot Windows at all.
>>109003903Yes. I have a job and am not a pedo, so I dont care. I use Windows 10 LTSC
>>109003903No one has made anything better.
>>109004058This crossed my mind too.
>>109003903Software & hardware support, the core reason to use any OS as that is the job an OS is supposed to handle. Linux, unfortunately, isn't quite there yet, especially with support from smaller hardware manufacturers (like my audio interface).
>>109004259>>109004058you have no clue how any of this worksthere isn't a literal centralized data sink where feds get your data from, they get it from multiple resources, so yes, it does make sense for each respective chain in your internet connection to harvest data independently of eachother
>>109003939>I have a job.I don't, but I get it. I learned so much, just from using it many hours and people with less time probably don't want to learn something new, when there is "no need" for it. Coming home from the goyjob, watching goytube, shitposting on 4chan and playing goyple A games on Windows. "It just werks"But yeah, there are definitely some tricks to learn/find out, but even as a noob there are many beginner friendly distros, if you care about privacy and just a clean, more secure OS.I don't know if this is Stockholm Syndrome speaking, but I really like Linux, it's such a cool OS. You can do (almost) everything. And you have to remember that basically every AI is trained on all the open source linux code, I literally set up a server with GPT. But I get it... no Kernel Malware Games and no Adobe.
>>109003903>Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?I'll give you three reasons.https://affinity.studio/https://cavalry.studio/https://www.maxon.net/autograph/
>>109003903Have to use Photoshop, After Effects and FL Studio sadly. wine doesn't work right with them
>>109004359Affinity and Cavalry not being for Linux is criminal
>>109004352Trvke. Like how can you even be on /g/ without using gnu/linux in ANY form? Bare-metal, VM's, WSL, Docker.
>>109003903id be on linux now but i have an nvidia gpu : (
>>109004380It's not about privacy all the time, it's about security as well, it's about a stable no slop OS. I don't even care that much about privacy, I still think it's important, but Linux and MacOS are just way better than Windows.
>>109003903>Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?GIMP is still many years behind.
>>109004448>>109004459Thanks for the sources, anon(s). But I still think that MacOS is better than Windows, I personally use Linux, but MacOS is definitely the better option out of the corporate operating systems.
>>109004058>why have 11 players on the field just have all of them stand in front of the goalpost
>>109003903I might go back to windows as I need some windows softwares to work and wine isn’t reliable.I’m not sure what other options there are.
>>109003903Revit, Civil3D
>>109003903It just works?
>>109004352This is the nonsense lintroons spew to gas themselves up. >>109004384Linux is great for servers and embedded applications. I use it for a lot of things, but I hate the type of person who makes it their identity.
>>109004507Use WSL in Windows for linux if you need things occasionally. Or run Windows as a guest VM in linux.
>>109004507>I’m not sure what other options there are.qemu/kvm with the virt-manager UI. Fastest VM, near native speed, you could just spin up a Windows VM, or try out Winboat.What kind of applications do you even need? Maybe they even work in wine/bottles.
>>109003903Because I need a desktop OS. This means either Windows or macOS.Windows works fine and it'scheaper than buying a Mac.
>>109003903w10 ltsc is just fine + you can turn off everything. I just want to start computer, install apps that i need and they work i don't have time to play with config files or debate rust troons why everything should be rewritten into Rust. Get rid of Rust troons and Rust in kernel maybe i will think about Linux.
>>109005171>I just want to start computer, install apps that i need and they workanon, linux does work like that. config files are optional if you want to rice your apps but the default settings are fine
>>109003903Its exhausting to have to worry and care about everything all the time. I have it set up how I like, and it just works. If/when I grow out of pc gaming I'll look into other options. But I want it to be something where I can just set it up and have it work. Computer is a tool for doing things, not the thing to do.
>>109005191>Computer is a tool for doing thingsFor us it's more than that.We use Linux to feel like we're part of a family.We are a movement. We are a revolution.
>>109005217>We are a revolution.No, you are a kulak hoarding the peoples' RAM. Your local commissar will visit you promptly, to appropriate your PC hardware to the State for fair redistribution to the people.
>>109005217Gross.
>>109005188
>>109003903tfw you got CLIV tools tho...
>>109003903I just dont care and have never had an issue? Whats the point in switching if i never have a problem?
>>109005408Windows being mostly vibecoded is worse than rust desuYou're comparing an indian shitting street to a public toilet stall.
>>109005408what about it?
>>109003903>why are you still using Windows?Because repositories are retarded.
>>109005628so you never install windows updates?
>>109003903I prefer convenience over 'perceived' privacy. Big Tech and letter orgs are spending Billions on surveillance and you think using protonmail via Tor on Gentoo is going to save you? >kek
>>109003903I use Windows because it works for me. I also know how to use gpedit.msc, services.msc and regedit.If it's okay for me to configure Linux for 1 hour then it's also okay for me to configure Windows for 20min.
>>109003903Genuinely, why do (You) still care about people using Windows?I thought people using superior alternatives are superior therefore they do not need to think about the inferior OS and it's inferior users as they simply enjoy using their superior OS.
>>109004025Same. I work as a contractor writing copy, managing Marketo, and compiling analytics. I don't need Windows to do any of those things. All of the software I could possibly need is fully functional in Linux these days. The future is now.Most importantly, I'm doing it all from an ancient ASUS laptop that predates hardware baked backdooring.
>>109003903Genuinely, it runs Creative Cloud and Falcosoft MIDI player really well. I’m equally glad people are using Linux because that OS making Microsoft give a shit again.
>>109006719
>>109003938>The McDonalds employee took a piss and didnt wash his hands or wear gloves before he made your McDouble>Therefore you might as well go work at a gloryhole, since you already ingested a few penis residue molecules
>>109006921He's perpetually butthurt that despite his daily astroturfing people aren't flocking to Linux en masse.
>>109003939/thread
>>109003903>Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?Certain security software I need to use to authenticate at work only runs on windows or mac. Literally the only reason, all my personal computers run linux.
>>109003939For now.While everyone is making a big deal about AI replacing software developers, which isn't actually happening, office drones are being quietly culled.
>>109005540that would equate to 1.74 lines of code per second following a standard 40 hour work week and not accounting for breaks. not even ai can do that.
>>109003903I have a windows drive exclusively for using word in. otherwise I use arch for 99% of everything
>>109003903>Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?It works. >Do you care at all about the blatant spyware shoved into your OS?No. What are they going to find out about me? That I use a PC, shitpost and play the odd game?
