    @Sicklyboy, all those Amazon links are storage aren't they
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Close enough to Windows that my parents wouldn't notice, for example (although my parents are probably a little older than yours, I would imagine)
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    Plus, in Windows you just ran the installer and it was installed.

    Close enough
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    in Linux you first look for software for your version of the OS, then you look for how to install this software, then you look for how to install all the dependencies, and after 4 hours of compilation and installation it turns out that one of the smallest dependencies is not supported by your version of the OS and the program cannot be installed
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    And you get an uninstalled program and 146 GB of hard drive space filled with God knows what and where. :rofl2:
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Just gotta follow. Guides in most cases and you're golden in linux
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv3, I mostly want a performance boost
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Linux is just awesome for a free open source alternative
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @lapot2, yeah something that Windows is better than Linux is that you don't have to compile every single software you download

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @Xdqwerty, you'll have your own system someday I didn't even know what a performance boost was when I was your age
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I don't believe that is the case
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv3, well I can tell my PC can be somewhat slow

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    You just use the terminal to download things, I don't think you have to compile every download
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    If you just need to surf the Internet, then maybe so. But if you need to do some serious work, there are often no open or closed tools for Linux at all.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah Linux has its own store with most apps you need
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It's mostly github projects that require specific sh files for install
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and on Windows these tools are already ready, you take them and use them
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Every os has its place
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    yea either way Linux isn't for me lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Linux is also good for android devs and what not for obvious reasons
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    so for the near future Linux will remain a parody of a normal operating system with a bunch of compatibility issues and program availability
