why are linux users the most friendy* loving pieces of stuff on the planet?

[carolcat]

because they like to think they're better than you for using linux, just like how vegans like to feel like they're better than you for not eating meat. all just a superiority complex

i wonder if there was something for this... hmmmm

might have to think about it over some wine.

emulation is not the same as having support for a filetype on an operating system.

i tried linux once and it didnt go too hot for me
basically i just tried installing something from the internet and i was like "wow i am completely out of my league here and i have absolutely no clue what im doing"

it isnt that hard
use terminal package manager if you're not running something like ubuntu, and if you cant use package manager try to use the repository, and even if that doesnt work get the source code and try to build it

that sounds so much harder than just using windows

what did you try installing?

it's not as hard as it seems, it's literally just "sudo apt-get install audacity" in the terminal to install Audacity on distros with apt-get

apt being the package manager

So it isn't as difficult as you'd think, but some packages can be a bit difficult to install. In my opinion the package manager is a great thing

also I'm not going to say to switch to linux unless you're in the right crowd for it, which I think I am

emulation is not the same as having support for a filetype on an operating system.

wine literally stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"
"Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly"

haha thatso nly ubuntu
arch uses pacman, redhat uses yum i belive

Linux distros are generally better if you want full control of your computer. Windows is beginning to tire me (they're dropping 7 + Win10 seems to invade your privacy + Win10 has forced updates + Win7 isn't even that good + a million other small things) and if more things start being compatible with Linux, particularly games, I would absolutely switch completely (for now I dual boot into Ubuntu for development stuff)

Windows absolutely isn't perfect, it's pretty much just enough to keep most people from looking for other options. The nice thing about Linux is that it's customizable enough that with enough know-how you can make it closer to perfect by tailoring it to your needs.

install gentoo friend

you talking to me

[ReddBoi]

install it on your computer book

I should have restated but I was meaning this as in this as in it's subjective per distro

also that isn't "only ubuntu", many distros use apt-get, I'm on KDE Neon and it uses it. iirc Neon is based off of Ubuntu, but still
