This is a Linux board and you're not wanted here. Windows isn't an operating system for tech enthusiasts, it's an OS for normies; people who are too dumb to code. It's like showing up to /k/ to brag about your butter knife.
Windows is an OS for consumers. Linux is an OS for people who know what they're doing. If you don't know enough about tech to realize why Linux is superior to Windows you don't belong here, or in any tech communities.
Now go play in visual studio and pretend you're a real programmer because you know how to press buttons.
It's obviously not a Linux board since Windows users keep coming here.
Now kill yourself freecuck.

This is a technology board you fucking autistic sperglord and shut the fuck up and deal with it
Camden Johnson
>free >cuck
That's an oxymoron.
Because Linux is free it can't cuck you.
Windows on the other hand is literally a cuck OS.
Charles Bailey
trybuilding up arch and gentoo and then who see is cucking who
Hunter Jones
Because Linux doesn't cuck you you don't have to install arch or gentoo.

Honest question to Windows users:
Why don't you just leave already if you hate Linux so much.
Why can't Linux people have ONE THING to themselves? Why do windows users have to ruin EVERYTHING???

Ok, Windows users really need to leave.

Archlinux would be pretty easy to install with such great wiki contributors as Gentoo Linux, and I managed to install both with no formal tech formation (besides Excel when I was 15).
You just need to stay motivated.

Oh, poor baby. Do you need a safe space?

there's a lot of technical stuff to windows you know that isn't programming, maintaining a server for instance

You're an idiot.
They don't use Windows in professional development environments, they use Linux and Unix. Windows is not secure and it's a piece of shit.
Just because you saw a secretary editing a spreadsheet when your mom took you to the doctors office doesn't mean everyone who uses a computer runs windows.
Most professional developers stay far away from windows and the only people using Visual studio or any MS products are code monkeys getting paid 35k/year to re-write legacy spaghetti code while their wife cheats on them with black men.

So you do edit config files all day? :^)

No it's not. If you want the Linux board you need to go back to reddit.com/r/linux/

I'll take the bait.
Being a Windows users does not mean you hate Linux, nor does it mean you're not technically literate. This isn't a board dedicated to just linux.
It's not called /l/inux. It's technolo/g/y, something which includes such popular topics as GPUs and Smartphones.
Depressing to have it dominate the board, yes. Against the purpose of the board? No. Windows users, GPU threads, Smartphone generals, that all applies to technology.
If more people on Cred Forums were interested in programming, in linux, in all that other smooth Jazz, such topics would be just as active if not the dominate topics on this board.
The fact is however most people on Cred Forums don't give a shit and can't code. Coding is hard. It's literally learning another language, one that works contrary to 'natural' languages, and one that is greatly helped by understanding math.
Not everyone is good at math. You don't have to be good at math to talk about technology, or to use it, enjoy, or anything. It would certainly help. Someone who knows about the inner workings of a CPU is much more useful and certainly understands technology 'better' than someone who only knows the general purpose of clock speed, cores, hyper-threading, L3 Cache etc
However, you don't need to know how an engine is built or works to know how to drive. You don't need to be able write for a kernel to be able to write a very helpful program that people smarter then you would end up using.
Hunter Garcia
yeah maybe but, I want to have arch linux to my main rig and so i made a virtual machine with arch but it took me hours to do and I fucked up at the end
Josiah Gutierrez
A willingless to subject yourself to hours of tinkering, customization, optimization, blah blah blah, of whatever Linux distro you fancy is not any sign of being more informed about technology than a Windows user, especially if during the whole process you were reading a point by point guide online.
Oh well. I'm done writing this ranty piece. I like Linux. I'm very happy it's a thing that exists. I run Windows on my main machine, and I'll almost exclusively use it until the day comes that running Windows 8.1 in -current year- just isn't cutting it anymore, at which point I'll likely take the dive and switch to Linux.
But especially with so many Linux distros that are now literally for, are used by, and work just fine for 'normies', the people who 'don't know how to code',
This idea that using Linux means you know shit is a very stupid argument.

The Windows vs. Linux troll posting and baiting is a cancer to Cred Forums. I don't know what happened but this place is really trash lately. You are part of the problem.
Christopher Morales
I've noticed that Cred Forums's been really shitty recently too. The fuck happened to this place?
Jason Anderson
I know right. You sure told that Wincuck who's boss!! :^)
Liam Torres
Then leave.
All this was mostly started by the snowden leaks showing that Microsoft secretly colluded with the NSA to hand over data on it's customers. It was called PRISM much of congress didn't even know this secret program existed.
A private company was operating with a rogue government agency, and you guys don't get why they lost all respect of tech enthusiasts?
Brayden Lopez
Its actually an autism board. One progresses from Cred Forums or Cred Forums to Cred Forums and lands at /r9k/.
I will make a dot-file that explains the traversion of autism using the data i mined from the postfags
Isaac Moore
No idea. I stopped visiting regularly for a year or so, come back and its all shit outside the generals. I'm really only here for the thinkpad and linux generals.

Unless you have a Cred Forums pass, you're being tracked here too. reCAPTCHA is owned by Google.

It's a fact that the NSA and Microsoft colluded. It's not conspiracy.
Actually, this is a board for Mac users, specifically, Mac users who want their daily laugh looking at Winpleb and Lincucks issues crying for support. That and teenagers who participate ironically in GPU wars, the single most autistic thing one can do on the internet.

because Cred Forums is a technology board, not a loonix board

I'm seriously embarrassed to use Visual Studio and I'm pretty sure it cost me my last job.
What is a good alternative?
Robert Gray
What if I told you that I enjoy Windows and Linux both equally for what they are?
Elijah Sullivan
because i post about things unrelated to OS (most of the board)
Nathan Miller
>because Cred Forums is a technology board, .. and you didn't laugh. Bravo.
