security, speed, useful for servers, better customization, etc

do you only try to stuff up threads or something

Hey now, telling everybody that Obj-C is the future, then abandoning their standpoint on that and switching it to Swift isn't much better

There are no good mobile operating systems.

He probably thought you were implying that Linux isn't better than Windows, which is a very controversial statement.

what the forget i was just asking what are the benefits

your comment came off as like a "so what's the point" kinda thing to me

and if it was just innocence then I'm sorry for snapping at you, it's just that the benefits have been well documented

i'm slightly interested in dualbooting arch linux on my server PC for running servers like some minecraft servers and other things, but i want to keep my windows install and not forget it up in the process. how would i do that?

Most of the more popular distributions come with ways to install alongside Windows easily. Arch is a bit different from most in that the installation is done entirely from the command line. If I were you I'd just use Ubuntu server or Debian.

Tbh, as an Arch user, I'd only ever use it on a PC anyway. All the servers I manage use Debian.

Assuming this is your first time installing a linux distribution... Just don't use arch. Make sure your windows installation is set up in UEFI mode and try Ubuntu, Debian, or similar beginner-friendly distributions. You won't have fun if arch is your first time, especially with dual-booting complicating things further.

dual booting seems like a loving hassle. I'd honestly rather just have two separate machines lol

well you dont need to dual boot theoretically
if you have a mobo with integrated graphics and you have a discreet graphics card and two monitors you can run vms off of your lincucks box and use the virtual machine as a full-fledged windows machine
i do this (except i use unRaid like a cuck lmfao) and it suits my needs well

Arch anywhere lets you install arch a lot easier.

Just a question
What's a good Distro for regular Dev work? IE Computer Sci. Courses, independent web / program development, etc.

Depends. If you have enough time and want to learn how to properly use Linux- Arch or Gentoo.
If you don't, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

Arch and Gentoo are long term goals.
I guess I'll probably go with Ubuntu

Ubuntu is pretty good for beginners, but if you're not too perturbed by having to initially install a lot of packages you might like Debian better. Ubuntu is based off Debian and adds a lot of 'bloat' to it, Debian is faster and has less bloat.

do people still think linux mint is alright? or do they just roll with something else
