>all this people using linuxGet a fucking job ffs smelly hippies
>>34814718 (OP)B-but I have a job. It requires me using Linux.
>>34814718 (OP)I'd rather pay for linux then use windows for os x, and i would pay more for it.
I can get any Windows version for free directly from Microsoft, but I still use Debian.>>34814769This.
>>34814718 (OP)Most linux users with a laptop has probably paid for a windows license and then thrown it away like the trash it is.>>34814791Yes i could get it from work for free, but they would have to pay me to use it when i dont have to.
I can pirate linux if I want to.Windows for my desktop and linux for my laptop.
>>34814727Same here. In fact, you can probably tell who on /g/ doesn't have a job by their reaction to Linux in the workplace. If they're surprised, I doubt they do anything software/IT related.>>34814769Pretty much this, too. I have a number of computers with Windows and they're all legit, yet I still prefer Linux.
>he doesn't pay for linux
I have licenses from win95/nt4 -> windows 7.I still use linux like a real man, not like some gaming girl.
But I run SUSE at work. It is expensive.
>>34814718 (OP)>implying you pay for Windows
>ITT: People who claim they run Linux at workObvious liars are obvious
>>34814718 (OP)>being too mentally poor to use Linux and contribute to free software.
>>34814991SLC6 reporting in.
>>34814991Ubuntu web terminal reporting in.
>not getting a job at ARM>not developing Linux drivers>not working with the best kernel known to man
>>34814991Ubuntu/RHEL reporting in. I had an OpenSUSE VM for a little while as well.
Lee-nux is a toy for fags and virgin kissless ugly geeks who got bullied at school.OS X master race, the alpha man OS.
>>34815020well, as much as I love and use the GNU/Linux system, Linux certainly is not the best kernel, if you ask me. When hurd is ever finished (>implying) it will be much better.
Battletanx is a fucking awesome game.I remember being so butthurt as a kid about that virus killing all the women in the world, that would seriously fuck things for humanity.
>>34815090Seriously this.
>>34815097>finishedWhat's left for it to do? I don't know if it's even worth bothering with at this stage.
>>34815090>toy for fags>OS X>Irony
I use Linux on my computer full time. Isn't Android phones based of Linux as well?
>>34815147>>34815097Hurd *is* finished, the reason nobody uses it is because it's shit.
>>34815177It's probably just another episode of Stallman's bitterness.Also their logo is... catchy.
>>34814967>I still use linux like a real man, not like some gaming girl.Angry virgin spotted
>>34814967Archfag detected.
>>34814991I'm a developer in a company of around ~150 other people and most use Linux for development.Google employees use Linux too.CERN employees, Facebook employees - really a lot of people develop on Linux.
>>34815225I can make stuff up on the internet as well
>>34815097But Hurd is shit.Microkernels don't actually work good at all. Maybe one day when they fix that shit, but that probably wont even be a microkernel, just not a monolithic one.Monolithic kernels and exokernels are where it's all at.
>>34815177Hurd isn't Posix compliant because it's still incomplete. Assuming hardware drivers are usable (they're actually not), all that's left to do is complete a multi-threaded version of basic OS functions that are piss easy to do within a kernel in a single thread.
>>34815239You're doing a good job at it.
>>34815097It would be nice if Linux started moving some functionality off into userspace servers. It shouldn't be too hard. FUSE was a nice step forward.
>>34815239Being a developer isn't special at all.If you don't believe me that I'm a working developer, fine, I don't care.But my point about Google, Facebook and thousands of other development companies is true, though.Also you look like a tryhard bitter teenager when you use sage as a downvote. Just sayin'.
>>34815262But that shit doesn't perform as good.
>using 4690 OS at work
>>34815239A lot of people on /g/ are developers idiot. Just because you're here for your 'speccy' and 'rate my gaming rig' threads doesn't mean the rest of us are.
>>34815090yeah but muh centos is pretty cool for servers
>>34815278Surely performance isn't too much of a problem if it's done correctly. Windows' ALPC ports are fast enough.
>>34815287>real job>riced out archYeah right
>>34815347I'm pretty sure Hurd sucks because of IPC overhead for basic kernel functionality. I'm not sure.>>348153940/10, thank god, I thought you were actually serious
>>34814718 (OP)I am getting 50k next month, which I am going to use to rent my own place for a couple years, in which time I will be job hunting around that area. I just want to get the fuck out of this area ASAP. I am using that money to do it. The job will come afterwards.
Morning /g/
>>34815468Ignore. Posted in wrong thread. To tired this morning.
>>34815468>>34815478And it was a glorious mistake.
>>34815468Thank you for proving my point. Leenucks is for edgy ricerfags only. Windows for actually doing a job.
>>34814718 (OP)Are there people here who pay for their operating system in 2013?
>>34815524>thinks this is a riced linux box...WOW
>>34815468>shit text rendering>gvim>mint>shit color configyikes
>>34815524>pretty much default Mint look>poster obviously coding something, aka doing work>"edgy ricerfag"0/10 2obvious2trollI did lol though
>>34815528Yeah... :(Windows was forced on me when I purchased my laptops... :(
>>34815568Like I said to tired this morning. I'll change it later. Posted in wrong thread. I need more coffee.
>>34815563Nobody cares if you can rice it more, fucking autistic neet
>>34815528I paid over $15k so far this year. I hire consultants to fix the OS I use and give me support.

cout << "This program reads golf scores and shows\n"<< "how much each differs from the average.\n";cout << "Enter golf scores:\n";
>>34815604ok, you got me, good jobuninstalling Linux now
>>34815580No biggy anon - NO ONE is making fun of you...Literally, just as already stated - it was really appropriate actually...
>>34814718 (OP)Seriously, that doesn't make any sense. I have always bought my laptops with Windows on them, and guess what? I make it be gone! I'd gladly pay the same price for Linux as I do for Windows... If I didn't already. I have donated way more money to FOSS than I have paid for Windows licenses.
>>34815604sure showed him
>>34815629Still better then what most people can do around here. Fizzbuzz and helloworld.
>>34814718 (OP)>What are servers>What are super computers>What are embedded devices
>>34815680Unfortunately, this is likely true...In fact, it could even be actual work code in the image for all we know (not likely) but certainly not impossible.I live in a town where our steel plant is one of the biggest employers. They use linux for lots of in-house software development to work with the machinery...Idiots don't realize just how common linux actually is in the business world. Sure, it's not really a desktop PC - But that depends on the companies needs - A company can certainly get by with Linux depending on what they need.I usually need Windows for work - But it's not the only OS being used in the work force and anyone who says otherwise is retarded.
>>34815721>what are trollscheckmate
>>34814718 (OP)hardly anybody on /g/ uses linux.
>>34815749>>34815757Living in denial...
>>34815757All the cool /g/ kids use Gentoo. Even RMS approves of Gentoo.
>>34815757I'm browsing /g/ in Linux Mint 15 right now..
>>34815804Same. I just need something simple to get stuff done. I don't want to be worrying if my os is going to break after an update.
>>34814871Snowdens 4 laptops all run Fedora Core linux!
>>34815768What? The OP is an obvious troll. He can't be serious.If you were active on /g/ for over 2 months you must've at least glaced over a few threads where Linux experts were discussing various aspects of their jobs.There are both enthusiast and professional Linux users on /g/, and there's quite many of them.The OP is a troll and if you can't see that you're retarded.>>34815804>>34815832Fedora reporting in
>>34815889Um, that's basically what I was saying...???Maybe I misunderstood you?I'm guessing you were >>34815749, it sounded to me like you saying anon was trolling - but I'm guessing now that you were simply agreeing with him...
>>34815889I don't use Fedora though.
>>34815468>I'm building muh skills on linux!>In reality though I'm only helping a market (linux) advertise itself freely via my newb ass!>It's easy to dazzle my commoner ass!
