I got Mint and it sucks ass, Skype for Linux is shit, looks basic as fuck.
My webcam didn't even have sound, I had to manually find and install the drivers for it, because Linux is incapable of looking for fucking drivers by itself.
Installing my motherboards drivers was even more of a hassle.
Wine sucks.
To play Windows native games I had to install some shitty emulator type thing.
I hate Linux.
Gone back to Windows.
Fuck you assholes.

Jose Jackson
Cool story, bro. Have you heard of Cred Forums? Or maybe /k/(ys)?
Nathan Nguyen
>spoonfeeding
No, I could figure out how to do everything, but why, why would you want everything to be such a long ass process of DIY?
Adam Barnes
gnu/linux is not for a retarded peoples
Jeremiah Lopez
Enjoy your shitty no-support, bullshit ass long way to do everything that Windows does without you asking.
Angel Perez
which is why it's not for those who actually understand their machines.
Jonathan Ortiz
and win10 look way better than your gay shit
Kevin Powell
like spying you asshole
Noah Reed
I understand my machine just fine, I just don't see the point in having to do so any things manually when you shouldn't have to.
Carter Lewis
Spying lol, anybody spying on me is in for a boring time. I'm not really into doing anything worth spying on on my PC.
Anthony King
Then you don't understant
Jason Hughes
Why the fuck did you use mint you jerkoff? Try a live cd first. Start with TAILS.
Seriously, wtf is your problem? If you don't work for pussy, you don't get pussy. Go use windows, it's like a bbc for your ass. Get linux if you like a cumslut who never says no.
Charles Howard
>anybody spying on me is in for a boring time >so when something bad happening, start to crying about, like everyone else that use this crap
Christian Bell
Why would I use anything Linux, can't even get DX12 to work and didn't seem to want to let me install my Oculus Rift
Jack Morgan
why would you take advice from Cred Forums?
Brayden Green
I don't understand why it doesn't have an automated driver detector, no.
Luis Cook
see, YOU shouldn't use anything linux. because you're retarded
Anthony Flores
m8, write them drivers yo-self. It's what linux was made for.
Jonathan Davis
You listened to that whore when she said no. Typical beta.
Aiden Lewis
It's not just Cred Forums really, I've seen a lot of people mention it.
Andrew Morales
i've always had a good time with linux. maybe you were buying an orange expecting a banana, and then you got pissed when the banana didn't taste like an orange. if you wanted an orange the whole time why would you buy a banana based on other people saying they like bananas?
Ryder Baker
To be honest, if your rig is for gaming, and it sounds like it is, you don't really want a Linux distro anyway, Windows will always rule the market for gaming.
Mason Howard
it's your fault the only research you did going into it was googling "linux" and installing the first thing you saw
Hudson Collins
you should get a mac. dont ever have to worry about drivers, everything looks and feels great.
Kevin Stewart
No, I looked in to a few distros, redhat, fedora, arch, kali... I went with Mint after reading quite a bit about it. Went with the latest version. It's like a shitty windows 10 that doesn't work properly.
Henry Martinez
Becaus it's a trap
Zachary Kelly
Shut up
Easton Wood
so you read quite a bit about it and didn't ever come across any information about how the OS actually works? especially pertaining to drivers?
sounds like what you're saying you did and what you actually did are two different things
Carson Myers
From what I read, it should have detected hardware drivers when I first installed the OS, but it didn't, not a single damn one.
Levi Harris
Im glad someone else reached the same conclusion I did.
OP read 1 article and installed it.
Justin Williams
Did you build the PC, or did you just buy an off the shelf peice of shit?
Austin Johnson
Built it

it's funny because most people that switch to linux are too stupid for windows.

Linux is not, nor has it ever claimed to be, a drop-in replacement for any OS. Linux is another way to look at computing, with appreciation for the way that things work, the choice for how they work, and the opportunity to change it. Linux is the way you describe entirely on purpose. It is never to make things hard, but to keep you in total control. If I sent you a driver for your webcam, you know how to install it in Linux. If I sent you a windows driver to try, your OS would snort at it and turn up its nose unless I made a step-by-step "wizard" for you to follow.
The learning curve is steep, but like learning to use a toolbox tool by tool, the possibilities grow exponentially. Yes, other OSs can get you from where you are to where you want to be in a simpler way for you, but not only do you get no choice in how it does it, you learn only how to get that result and nothing more. If Linux is a quadbike, Windows is a tram. With a quadbike, you need to learn the directions. You need to be skillful in it's operation, and practice what you have learned, but can ultimately get anywhere you choose. You get on the tram, you get off the tram. Someone chooses when, someone chooses how fast, someone else is responsible if it breaks down, and you are simply subject to these things.
I fell for the bait I guess, but I had a good time typing.

Cortana is minimized, I use it for quick access to certain things.

No. Just fucking with him till he asks a real question. He needs to keep windows in a virtual machine till he can get a grip on linux. Or give up like a pussy, but i don't think he's ready for that.

>Edge is so I can use two browsers at one when I need to Learn to use chrome... Fucking profiles and incognito.
Juan Martinez
I’d just like to interject for moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Carson Sullivan
I'm convinced OP is trolling, considering his build and certain things he's said, I'm pretty sure he's fishing.
Christopher Rodriguez
I like to listen to headphones so it isn't a problem.

Adam Thomas
i think most of us are using the term linux colloquially but this is a good piece of information
Aiden Jackson
really? i prefer to listen to music, but to each his own.
Aiden Collins
Yeah because Gates knows all about software, like when he stole DOS. I mean all Linus does is piss people off with the years of work actually coding like a real person.
Juan Sanchez
The only thing inherently windows 10 on that image is your shitty taskbar which is easily emulated in linux The rest is a wallpaper and a chrome theme.
Evan Gonzalez
oh god this has to be bait now.
you went too far OP. nobody plays Zynga poker
John Price
Linux is for losers and geeks. It's only decent for purpose built servers.
Anthony Miller
>losers and geeks are the only people who care about how things work
Christian Barnes
Well then you won't like the IPhone. The only way you can listen to your music on the go is with incredibly unreliable Bluetooth.
Alexander Phillips
Bait? Why, yes. Bait.
Henry Reyes
>losers and geeks are the only people who care about how things work
Yeah, and that's why I like Windows, it works better, it doesn't make me do all the shit that IT should do for me. You think you're a hacker because your backwards OS is open source? Fuck off.
Justin Watson
Since the beginning of time.
Luke Campbell
They have Speccy for linux?
Dominic Ward

To get your webcam mic to work on Skype in Windows:
Go to recording devices, select webcam - Done.
To get your webcam mic to work on Skype in Linux:
Click on the "Recording" tab. This tab shows the applications that are capturing audio in that very moment, so it will probably be empty. Start skype then call the Echo / Sound Test Service (or anyone you like who will answer) When the other party answers, Skype begins capturing audio and will be shown in the "Recording" tab of the pulseaudio volume control window From the "Input from" drop down list, select your webcamClick on the "Recording" tab.

this is a stretch, but i think he was >implying that if you're just writing HTML, a markup language so easy a monkey could use, you have no reason to go out of your way to install linux, not figure out how to use it, and then complain on Cred Forums
and i agree go back to your macbook and make more HTML and javascript in a starbucks somewhere
Blake Miller
what? all of the best HTML interpreters are linux only. do you even computer?
Jacob Davis
OP tired out an airplane when what was really needed was a bicycle. But yea, its the damn airplane's fault for being a plane and not a bike.
John Cox
>HTML interpreter browsers?
Nicholas Hughes
Still *nix.
Why you faggots fail at reading is just nothing short of spectacular.
If you know what your doing, any *nix box is fun, useful and stable. Furthermore you actually learn something every fucking time.
But if your a general user who doesn't know the difference between his ass and a kernel, it's best you stick with windows. Theres just no point cause ull have to undo every lie windows taught you. Also, there's basically no fun factor when it comes to games. Basically, OP, just go get a tablet cause that's all you're actually capable of using anyways.
And as for you *nix/linux/Mac apple penguin cocksucker mother fuckers: congratulations: you know what gnu is. No need to be so fucking full of yourselves over it. Both of your fagget ass platforms (Mac and *nix/gnu) came from the same place and they are BOTH equally fucking useless because of your fucked up elitism. Macs are worse cause I can't even use them as a decent service.
But the fact that they don't apply to so many things is what takes the cake.
Winfagz: can u make a decent nas with winblows? A stable embedded platform that isn't stuck at win Ce 6.0 for decades? How bout any network service that will never fail? Nope.
Macfagz can u use anything besides office and Photoshop and Web apps? Nope. You guys are deep in apple ass for usefulness outside of your sense of self righteousness.
Linux fags can u honestly give me one single reason why Linux should be in the work environment with a kvm, like in front of a secretary? Nope you can't. Why? Cause you can't support it and ull have no time if you do.
So fuck off with this Trinity bullshit argument. You don't buy a pocket car to. tow with and you don't use a bulldozer to go get milk. And you sure as fuck don't use a bicycle to ride in the snow.
But for some reason people wanna argue this.

Linux, Unix, BSD, and similar OSes aren't about ease of access and use. They're about power and control. Learning how your computer works and equipping to tools necessary to get what you need done.
Windows IS about ease of access and use. There's no shame in it. As a network technician I feel handicapped without a good Unix based laptop in my hands but I still come home to a Windows gaming rig.
Mac is unix with training wheels that costs WAY to fucking much.
That's the broad over view and the discussing the details tends to just devolve into dick measuring.
