install linux

| "When someone gives you a linux DVD, just say no." -- Nancy Reagan


| I already have the linux, and you should too! Do it! Install the Linux! If Pewdiepie can do it so can you gurl!


| The current linux hype concerns me. It can't die out soon enough.


| >>1081666
cry about it


| >>1081666 hmm.. sell your soul and all your info to Microsoft, pay 20billion for Apple, or deal with issues sometimes on Linux. Gee, you're right, the other two options sound so much better than linux.


| >>1081666
I mean at least you can run linux exclusive programs under WSL.
It's something


| >>1081685
he's just a mindless contrarian. no need to feed him dopamine by acting civil

>or deal with issues sometimes on Linux.
Implying that you have no issues on MacOS or Windows...
As an admin 80% of working time is fixing issues on windows machines beginning with its miserable default configuration, going over fundamental design flaws (most prominent the lack of support for open standards) and ending with MS rotten update policies. Apple is surprisingly more standard friendly - at least on the desktop. For iOS I would never spend/waste a second.


| >80% of working time is fixing [...] default configuration
who's hiring admins who don't know how to make custom install isos, i want in


| >>1081724
There must be someone who customizes the isos, keeping them up-to date etc. I work with imaging solution, but here again linux is just waaay easier and reliable to customize/distribute.
Especially driver handling in an environment with diverse hardware is still hell on earth with windows. After 10 years not working with windows it suprised my recently that such things like the infamous "bluescreen" are still a thing.


| Working on a windows systems always feels clunky and slow. Find out what caused an issue is detective work. The *nix typically simple log files (or even the rotten journald) is thousand times superior and more convenient compared to windows default tools. The windows gui shell is broken and ineffient to the core leeching 5-10% CPU on an average 5 year old bureau machine when opening the start menu (Which is why i replace it with openshell)

Prove me wrong.


| You need to install tons of additional tools and software to get basic things done but there is still no working central software installation system/package management. Yes, I know there are winget, chocolatey, etc. but they are still buggy and centred around too few repositories (and policies) to choose from.


| On top of that the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and the x-desktop standard, based on the simple "everything is a file" paradigm is in their simplicity so much superior and easier to handle than windows infamous "registry" and "group policies".
The user and filesystem permission management is superior too on *nix. Same is with the command line. Microsofts bloated default Power(s)hell is better than cmd.exe but still by far no match to any available POSIX conform shell.


| Install Kubuntu or Linux Mint and you'll be in heaven


| >>1081741
I'd recommend KDE Neon as the hot shit for people coming from Windows, Ubuntu or Mint. Arch/Manjaroo may be better for more advanced users. And there's also SteamOS for people more focused on gaming/media consume.


| Ive been wanting to swap when I went from windows 7 to 10. And now seeing that 10s support ended and how awful 11 is. I want to jump ship i just am scared at how long getting used to it and customizing everything will take


| >>1081811
End of support for windows 10 means nothing, you would be a dumbass to accept their "support" in the first place. I really like windows 10 for when I must use a windows computer, and I have it completely rigged and rearranged so that absolutely no microjew spyware can reach me.


| >>1081816
stop jacking yourself off, no one asked about your computer. imagine acting this cocky because you can run a script...

end of support means no more security patches. you sound like you thought the only thing it meant was the end of the support hotline, you ignorant dimwit. gb2 /news/ you fucking wannabe.


| >>1081811
you get used to it quicker than you think. lots of people are making the switch right now, especially americans for obvious reasons. steam reports a 70% increase in steam linux users the last year too.
