So g/u/rl, what do you use your gnu/linux for?
| I don't rice, my desktop looks spartan (Fluxbox) since it's only a backup. I mostly do everything through TTY & SSH, except when using apps specifically needing GUI.
It pays the bills and makes me a level 27 wizard.
| I use linux for everything. Bureau work, media processing and creation, playing games, programming, running servers. There is nothing you can't do with linux. It's just a question of attitude.
| The same as anyone would. I read websites, watch movies, listen to music, write stuff, calculate stuff and play stuff.

What games are you playing on it?
I dont see many options when it comes to linux, knowing that 99% of aaa games are windows only

| I use my ThinkPad with GNU+Linux on it for everything. In fact, I don't own a Windows or Mac computer. It's rather refreshing having literally zero need for those proprietary operating systems. I program, browse, watch animu, learn, pay my taxes and do e-banking. No need for Wangblows.

I use wine. Works fine with most games. I also prefer older titles, because the actual "aaa games" include too often and too much forced online shit, dlc shit and telemetry shit.
But I also played some newer titles recently, just for testing. Had no problems, except my weak graphics card.

Wine is pretty awful but it will run majority of titles, even newer ones. Thought nowadays I use Parsec and an AWS instance to play games. Not ideal for twitchy and competitive games that benefit heavily from low latency. But I completed the most recent Tomb Raider and it only cost me 0.14-0.16 USD an hour. Not entirely sure how many hours I put into it.
Slight shill, but Parsec is a decent option for Linux and laptop users. Proprietary though.

Haha, that's similiar to what I did:
1. Converting vectorgraphics from shitty adobe format into svg
2. Using sed to change colors.
My boss would have done this manually.

| general computing, and home server needs
| >>359090 tf do you mean by general computing? It sounds like you're a mad scientist that computes everything everytime
| >>359110
t. Windows user. Proper Hackers utilize the powers of pure text to bend their data to their will. This is computation. Clicking around a GUI is not really.
| >>359110
there is no specific thing im using it for. i didnt install it just to make use of its rich image editing software, for instance.
| Kali pays the bills.
| >>359167
As in you literally use it for professional pentesting, or are you one of these countless beginners who thinks Kali is a good idea as a daily distro because it's associated with hacking?
| I just use plain gnome 3 at work (also at home). Pretty good stuff
| For dank memes of course.
| >>357278
I rice all my operating systems, because I like to feel at home and look at something pretty that I made. I riced my Android phone, MacOS Macbook, Linux Desktop and Windows Desktop.
| >>357320
I don't play aaa games. I like dwarffortress type of games, like rimworld, factorio, OnI, or 4X strategies from paradox. All ported and supported for Linux. Never touched Overwatch or PUBG.
| you can easily play win games on Linux using special program that emulates win environment

| I'm guessing you spend a lot of time "ricing" it than doing something productive? You're so awesome!
