why does gnu/linux not feel like real computing to me? i know how to operate linux efficiently because i just translate my knowledge from using command prompt all these years and translate lingo to its linux counterparts. but for some reason despite having more complexity it still feels like a kids toy in comparison to good ol' windows 7.

i do not say this to offend, more to see if anybody else feels this way. Microsoft is now being run by a bunch of idiots but windows 98, 2000, XP and 7 ran like absolute chads and you knew you could get work done on them and count on everything working as intended, given you weren't a mouthbreather who ran untrusted programs.

hell even win ME and vista worked great in my experience. i probably got service packs because i dont remember them being bad, most of the issues were upon release and were quickly fixed. not excuseable from MS, but it wasn't THAT BAD.

ive been using linux for years now, but only now am i realising i should come home. all those years i could have been using a system that just werks, and prior to 10, had an infinitely better aesthetic than gayDE or footgnome. even win8 looks good if you just install classic shell and use regedit to bring everything back to control panel from the settings "app"

>inb4 nice blog

thanks!

Sounds like your beef is with KDE and Gnome. Try a non-shitty desktop like Cinnamon, Mate, LXQt, Budgie...

You Wot ? The vast majority of Windows functionality isn't available from the command line, and the vast majority of linux commands have no windows analog.

The windows command line is a toy.

Install XFCE. done.

For me, whenever I used OS X and windows, it felt like they had these vast uncovered depths to explore. It was like I was in a tiny boat over a deep ocean, where just about anything could be lurking in the depths. When I moved to linux, very quickly I was able to figure out how all the components of my system worked, so that it felt more like my boat was over a shallow lake.

It's just the sense of familiarity, nothing else.

Everything brought up by you is either cuckery or niggerfaggotry.

OS X is literally UNIX. The coreutils commands are the same for the most part, do the same things, shell syntax is same, and so on.

Are you talking about transparency of the system proper? You're saying the OS being proprietary is "(and that's) a good thing"? Or does shallow mean good in your language?

what the fuck are you talking about?
