looks like the world is being attacked by a very serious Ransomware virus.

so far UK, US, China, Russia, Spain and many more data's being hold to Ransom. its called WannaCry. and affects windows computers.

The infections seem to be deployed via a worm - a program that spreads by itself between computers.

Most other malicious programmes rely on humans to spread by tricking them into clicking on an attachment harbouring the attack code.

By contrast, once WannaCry is inside an organisation it will hunt down vulnerable machines and infect them too.

Some experts say the attack may have been built to exploit a weakness in Microsoft systems that had been identified by the NSA and given the name EternalBlue.

i just go with ubuntu wich is a decent operating system plus there are more games because of steam os

same. plus it looks nice and i show off to my friends

I guess I'm not allowed to have an opinion expressing why i personally don't want to use Linux. *sigh*

who said that? of course you're allowed to have an opnion, only if its on REAL facts. not those myths, or facts from the '90s. I went against all you said with facts, see above

Premium or free as well? I'm using free currently

I used the free version for a while and then a cracked one. In the end, I bought a legit licence for a year, as I reckon its a top piece of software, as it's helped me out loads in the past that other apps didnt pick up on.

Welcome to "IT'S OPEN-SOURCE AND YOUR OS IS A SPYWARE" rant, where idiots try to force you to move to Linux.

Nobody's trying to force anyone to do anything. It started off with a suggestion which devolved into Windows users spouting off incorrect information about why Windows is better. If anything it's the Windows users trying to convince Linux users that it's better.

It's exactly opposite but you Linux fanboys are ignorant as fuck and decided to derail this thread by making posts like "Meh, spyware 10 got viruses and our Linux doesn't".

1: Alright, I really don't want to argue this one as I've never used Zorin.
2: It's bad for development. Say there's a major bug in Ubuntu's version of GNOME that can be easily fixed by compiling a patch released to the main upstream, but if you install it it breaks the entire setup because of the changes Canonical made to it, so instead you have to wait for them to fix it. This is very detrimental to the end user.
4: The AUR isn't the main Arch repository, though. Arch's officially supported packages come precompiled. The AUR is entirely ran by the community and pulls unsupported sources from multiple locations, which is why everything there requires compiling. This also allows the developers of said sources to maintain and update their stuff independently of the AUR. It's actually quite brilliant.
5: I don't like GNOME because I don't like DEs. They're impractical and inefficient for production. I don't like GNOME 3 specifically because I feel that it got ruined by meaningless aesthetics that use incredibly difficult means for customization. I'm not talking about installing GTK themes and icon packs either. My prefered setup is a slim window manager with tiling. Many come with virtual workspaces as well, have no problems with Wayland, and support libinput-gestures. These things are totally independent of GNOME. GNOME's applications can also be ran independently of it itself too, but be prepared to install a shit ton of libraries. Though there are always alternatives that use GTK that can look just as beautiful.

2. I see
4. but you cannot argue, MOST of the useful stuff is in AUR, am I right?
5. Cool. I've heard of Sway and Liri as other Wayland compositers. even i use libinput-gestures and my workspaces i meant dynamic workspaces, so i blank workspace is automatically created for me. Only Gnome has that feature sadly.

Ignorant? I believe the word you're looking for is arrogant.

You've apparently missed every single post I've made in this thread. I've stated quite a few times that I don't like Linux, so I fail to see how I'm a fanboy. I can't stand Windows either because it's miles worse, but whatever. I, as well as others, have also named off Linux malware, so I dunno who said it doesn't get viruses. And every post I've seen from Linux users hasn't been fanboyism, but rather a good deal of truth about the system. All the Windows users have done is complain about Linux being too hard to use because I guess they all suffer from ADD, complain about not being able to play games like a bunch of children, and tout off information that was relevant seven or more years ago. Yeah, this thread is just teeming with Linux fanboys. If you didn't know, a fanboy is a person that ignorantly defends something they strongly favor with bad information.

The propaganda in this thread is actually so hilarious, I've been here for awhile and I can tell you that both Windows users and Linux users in this thread have been arrogant.
It all started with how Linux can game just aswell as Windows which we all know is pure bullshit. And how linux users basically saying there's no reason to stay on Windows becuse Linux games just as well.

Problem sorted, everybody can move on now :^)

 

[omegasoul6]

I'd leave Windows in a second if Linux ran all my games without a performance hit.
But it doesn't, so I won't.

Is that not what @Joom said?

Afaik, if he meant that then idk. He basically wrote something else.

You've heard it folks, gaming is apparently for children.

 

[smileyhead]

why is this thread still alive?

I'd say his definition was more nuanced.

*Looks at the website he's on*

I'm so confused.
