truth to be told, windows isn't that bad anymore if you're not too anal about your privacy, but have you not noticed the huge update fails this winter with windows 8? they made huge mistakes and now they want to sweep win8 under the carpet by releasing win10 (probably just the same with a new name) as fast as possible. and the biggest problem of windows it that big security issues are first infromed only to the NSA and that the newer windows reject systematically some 3'rd party products, like some updates ago you couldn't boot a LINUX distribution as a second OS under Win8. look how most countries ban the use of windows in governing institution, because the NSA can pretty much say "nope, i don't want the PCs from country XY to boot anymore and send me all their privat informations".

Please.

Basically every basic windows release is shit. When they got patched up and with service packs, they all became good within their limits. Win95 OSR2, Win98 SE, Win2k SP4, WinXP SP3, Vista SP2 and 7 SP1 are all good/were good in their times.

Yes, even Vista. If you have time/interest, try it on decent hardware.

WinXP SP2 was better, SP3 added much more bloat to force people to upgrade their system to vista.

>>13140629
Because it was just a patched vista and released after multicore / 2Gb+ of RAM became the norm.
Also hardware manufacturers had some years to write decent drivers and port them to 64bit.

Long time no see OSfriends, since when there was no OS-tan thread?

On a side-note, I started to play Hyperdimension Neptunia and I am still wondering why they can do exactly the same thing with OS-tans instead of console-tans/inc.-tans, would you play it something like that? And who would be the protag.?

Linux on the desktop is good for basically three things:
1) Ricing (what children and Gentoo users use Linux for)
2) Developing Linux (what the pros use Linux for)
3) Processing large text files (what I use Linux for)

And I can do (3) on Windows with Cygwin. For everything else, Windows wins hands down.

I actually realized just now after looking closer that IE actually has NoScript and NoSquint (the only two extensions I really need) basically built in (as security zones and a registry key for global page zoom). Goodbye Firefox, hello Inori-chan!

Oh, I'm well aware that we're a pretty technical crowd. I do have my obligatory CS degree, after all. But how important shell scripting is to you really is a function of what you're doing. If you're ricing, developing Linux, or deploying websites, sure you'll spend a lot of time in bash. But I prefer to spend my time writing software. Plus, you can access all of .NET from PowerShell (and the guts of Windows too, if you're so inclined), and PowerShell also has better pipelining than bash. So don't knock something until you've really given it a chance.

Some people don't want to buy American software, as US software is generally bugged by their Gestapo/Stasi. Imagine you are a lawyer or a doctor, and your computer immediately sends all information of your clienst and patients to the regime of a declining Empire which isn't remotely able to keep its information secret, with everything ending up on Wikileaks eventually.

There's no way to hide. Everything we do on a computer is being recorded by some intelligence agency. The American CIA is just the most incompetent of the various intelligence agencies and so everyone knows that they're being bugged when they're in America or using American products. They're not the only ones doing it, they're just the only ones bad enough to get caught.

I want to use Linux but my Japanese games don't run well on it, and dual booting seems like a hassle because I'd have a system that is capable of everything and another one which is capable of almost everything so I would just use the former...

Well of course Nanami doesn't like Linux. Her "guide to installing Windows 7" was to buy a computer that had it preinstalled, and she couldn't even do that right. She's pretty much tech-illiterate. Besides, Nanami is fine, it's her little sisters that made me switch.

She's XBOX-tan I suppose, but not an actual OS-Tan.

Seeing how she looks similar to XP-tan with blonde hair, she is probably related to the Windows girls.

Windows is not free software and does not respect my software freedoms. I strongly believe in free software and whenever possible, I try to use it instead of non-free software. A large part of it is that I don't believe programs can be properly audited and checked to make sure it is free of bugs, both intentional and unintentional. You might argue, "when's the last time you have personally audited a piece of software?" and I would tell you never, but this brings me to another important benefit of free software, and that is the entire community benefits from it: if only a single person audits some software, then the entire community benefits because they now have a greater assurance that it is free from bugs than if it was entirely proprietary. It goes beyond that though, when things are free as in freedom, they can adapt and change long after their original authors are gone, so free programs tend to last longer than their proprietary counterparts. The community also benefits from forking: if you don't like the way a certain piece of software works, you can simply use their source code to form your own project. This reduces duplication of effort and benefits the community because now they have more choice over what software they use, even those members who cannot themselves program. There's a lot of other reasons I believe in free software, but many of them are philosophical and thus probably not terribly convincing to someone new to the idea, but can basically be summed up as the idea that a) it's not nice to your fellow humans to not let them build upon the effort you have expended, as you have built on the effort of other people, and b) that as a software user I should have the right to make and distribute changes to the software I use.

Nanami was never an official mascot (and neither are those Windows 8 girls). You could either get the themes preinstalled on a limited run Madobe PC from a variety of vendors, or buy a "DSP edition" from Dospara which was basically retail Windows with a theme disc. Later on there were four Nanami wallpapers that you could download one of after purchasing WHS, and also a Nanami theme that came bundled on a disc with a Microsoft Touch Mouse. When Windows 8 came out, they released a disc with all of the Nanami graphics, promotions, and themes.

So to answer your question, the themes were always separate from Windows. But because of the way Windows saves text in user theme files (always in the system character set, even though the format supports UTF-7 encoded strings), they won't work for you unless you're using a Japanese locale.

No, I'm pretty sure the twins were also created by vendors to sell computers (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Microsoft probably had to check off the promotion for business reasons (wouldn't want Windows bundled with R18 twins doujins), but the vendors "own" the characters.

The official tans (i.e. the ones dreamt up by someone at Microsoft and not their partners) are Inori and Hikaru (IE and Silverlight, not made in Japan), Claudia (Azure, designed by the same artist as Nanami and the twins and modeled after a Microsoft Japan employee), and the five Bing girls (pic related).

Anyone noticed the new typefaces (Yu Gothic and Yu Mincho) in Windows 10? They're not really hinted for ClearType like Meiryo is, but they should look good at high DPI or in print. They also have several weights, unlike MS Gothic and MS Mincho.

>>13264399
I'm pretty sure Microsoft isn't interested in pissing off all of its corporate customers by spying on them. Though, I admit Windows 10 is looking pretty dodgy. In the past you could count on retail Windows being a stripped down version of enterprise Windows, but this time it looks like it will be enterprise Windows that strips all of the advertising bullshit out of retail Windows. Hopefully Microsoft will still offer a professional version at retail that's like the enterprise version for small businesses.

>all these people saying "Linux"

The proper term is actually GNU.

The GNU project started developing the GNU OS in about '83. They made many central components. The kernel was missing. In about '92 Linux (a kernel) came around and once it was licensed under the GNU license people started using GNU with Linux. This means the OS is GNU, with Linux as the kernel.

If you think the kernel is more central or important than other parts of an OS, you're frankly mistaken. In terms of size, X.Org is huge as well, and it's very central too, yet you won't hear people call the operating system X.Org, or mention X.Org in its name. This is because it's only one component, although it does many things including talking to hardware. Similarly, the kernel is just one component that talks to hardware and does some other important things. But none of these are more important than the tasks of GNU components such as GCC (the compiler used to build everything), Glibc (the C library which virtually *all* software on the system links against), GRUB (the bootloader that loads the kernel in first place), GNU Bash (the login shell), GNU coreutils/findutils/diffutils/grep/sed/awk, and many other such tools which make the system POSIX compliant and are necessary for most software to run on the operating system at all.

And if you say "but those components can be replaced", then obviously X.Org and Linux can also be replaced. Wayland based systems are on the way, and there is already e.g. Debian GNU/kFreeBSD which is the Debian GNU system running on the FreeBSD project's kernel.

To summarize, in terms of project/culture GNU is the project and operating system; and in terms of technical significance and irreplaceability of components, GNU is definitely not any less important than Linux.

Therefore, it makes most sense to say GNU, not Linux. Or say GNU/Linux if you want to be pedantic.

Windows is bad because it's not free software.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/

The difference might not be all that obvious to an average user, but in the grand scheme of things it's extremely important for the software to be truly free, i.e. serve the users, and not serve the developers who just want to make money off of the users.

For a recent prime example of the dangers of non-free software, see e.g.:
>>13336595

If you can, it would be most beneficial for the future for you to use a fully free GNU distribution such as gNewSense or Trisquel, though it's also fine to settle for something like Debian or Fedora.

It might also prove beneficial to you, because these systems have much much lower risk of being targeted by surveillance organizations such as the NSA and GCHQ.

Hopefully we will eventually have a super high-secure GNU system, namely Guix System Distribution, which uses purely functional package management as well as reproducible builds, all bootstrapped with a fixed point (see "trusting trust"), such that we can be 100% sure of source-code to binary-program correspondence.

The catch is that that is what is required to build the system if you're on a standard GNU/Linux setup. Once built, the system contains no GNU components and is self-hosting.

I don't, because I don't actually run that for lack of a proper package manager. The only point I wanted to make is that your application of the GNU copypasta is relevant only when applied to specific systems, and that you shouldn't generalize it to "everybody who says Linux" because there exists a Linux that is not GNU. I run GNU/Linux, you probably do as well, but you shouldn't use overly broad generalities.

I might have used Android as my example instead, since it likewise doesn't have any GNU components and is sometimes referred to (correctly) as Linux, but your rebuttal about usability holds up completely for Android.

Some operating systems describe themselves as flavors of Linux. See, for example, the Aboriginal page. One of the goals is to

>Build the simplest linux system capable of compiling itself.

The author has been involved with systems of all kinds, and with the development of Linux, since the early 90s. He is also the primary developer of this distro. He refers to the operating system he maintains as "a linux system". Your sole objection to that appellation has, throughout your posts, been that it should be referred to as "GNU" instead. But his system contains no GNU, so your objection cannot hold. Therefore there is a "linux system", and you have no right to say it is not an operating system, nor that it should be called anything else.

>What does this have to do with saying that you run GNU/Linux, when you do indeed run GNU/Linux on your PC?

Here is the analogy in painful detail.

Person X claims "I am running FreeBSD on my PC". Person Y responds "No, you are running Windows. I am justified in making this statement because 99% of all things called PCs run Windows".

Person A claims "I am running Linux on my PC". Person B responds "No, you are running GNU. I am justified in making this statement because 99% of all things said to be running Linux run GNU".

Both Y and B use the same justification for their argument. Both Y and B are (possibly) wrong. I think you will agree with me that Y should not have said what he said. Then you should also agree with me that B should not have said what he said. But you are B. Therefore, you should amend your statement.

But your statement actually does say that. It is completely possible that somebody above your initial post used the term "Linux" to refer to a non-GNU system. But you unilaterally say, addressed to "ALL these people saying 'Linux'" that "the proper term is actually GNU".

So if somebody above your post was including Aboriginal (or Android, or any other non-GNU system referred to as a Linux system) in their use of the term "Linux", you told them to call it "GNU" instead.

You are engaging in nitpicking because (I assume) you want people to use the correct terms, yet you know that in some situations your nitpicking is actually advocating incorrect terms. You should change your nitpick slightly so that it does not have that problem.

>I told people using the term "Linux" for GNU (which is 99% of everyone who ever says "Linux") to please use the term "GNU" for GNU.

Again, this is not actually what you said. You told anyone using the term "Linux" to use the term "GNU" instead. You did not qualify that with "IF your system is actually GNU" or such. You are denying the existence of non-GNU Linux systems just as much as people who say "Linux" incorrectly deny the existence of GNU systems.

Sure, they weren't perfect, but Javascript/HTML5 still has it's own set of issues (lack of platform agnosticism, code is not well protected, etc.) and I don't think it's quite a full replacement of the old way of doing things. We certainly couldn't replace /f/ with /js/, after all.

>Seriously learn to fucking interpret. If I tell a group of people using the term "Linux" that the correct term is "GNU" that is NOT equivalent to saying that the term "Linux" is ALWAYS wrong.

But it is. Your post was clearly directed to "ALL these people saying Linux". For fuck's sake, the entire point of you posting that was to make sure people - especially ignorant people - use the right terminology. But your post doesn't actually do that.

Here, have another example. Joe Blow is using Android on his phone. He's heard Android is a Linux, whatever that is. He reads your post. You've just told him that he is actually running GNU. But he's not. Stop confusing him.

>You're stuck up in your childish anti-GNU sentiment.

Here's the funny part: I'm not. I correct people who use the term "Linux" to refer to GNU/Linux as well. But you're telling people things that are completely incorrect. You are part of the problem that I keep trying to correct: slapping labels on things that do not accurately reflect them.

Look, you wrote up an explanation of what GNU is. You got one part wrong. I pointed that out. Now you're getting all butthurt about it and pretending that you can just ignore it because non-GNU Linux systems are an insignificant minority. (For consumer systems, they're actually the vast majority counting Android). But you, yourself, are an insignificant minority: the minority of people who give a shit about GNU. Why should anyone pay attention to what you're saying if you're not making an effort to be correct?

It's all shit and needs to die. Javascript was completely spec'd and implemented (for a demo) by one guy in about two weeks (to be fair, it was because if he hadn't done it we'd have gotten something much worse). It shouldn't have the place in our world that it does.

But if I ever point out how much I despise JS, people look at me with funny faces and start talking about how much they need Facebook and Gmail (and 4chan extensions), etc. So I don't talk about it too much. Those same people share in a hearty laugh with me if I joke about how Silverlight was a piece of shit.

So you'll see more hate for Silverlight/Flash/ActiveX than for JS. And when JS is replaced by whatever follows it, I and my kind will reminisce about how we always fucking hated JS, and everyone will share in hearty laughs.

99% of so-called "Linux distributions" are GNU distributions using the Linux kernel.
Saying "GNU" precludes non-GNU distros; saying "Linux" precludes non-Linux distros. Both exist, as explained in the original post. However, when GNU is present, it's notably the actual OS, using Linux as its kernel. The non-GNU systems using the Linux kernel would ideally be called after whatever name their developers have assigned, like "Aboriginal." There isn't really a term to refer specifically to them, since "Linux distro" as a term has been "soiled" and will make people think primarily of GNU distros (whether they know or don't know that they are actually GNU distros).

No, though I've been considering for the past few posts that you do. You display a complete incapability of understanding analogies and can't figure out how examples are relevant. You also have a fixed idea in your head about what the words you wrote mean, and can't reread them from another perspective and see that, to a reasonable person, they mean something different.

>Or maybe English isn't your mother-tongue and you haven't spent enough time in English-speaking circles yet?

Wrong again. On this point, you seem to be fine, although you occasionally forget to capitalize things.

>Anyway, "all these X" does not literally mean "EVERY X." Blame English.

Since you were making an epic implying meme, it has to be parsed strangely anyway. But any reasonable parsing of it finds that your post is addressed to those who triggered your greentext.

For the sake of argument, let's suppose that instead you wrote

>These people saying Linux

instead. Your post would still have the problem: anybody who had used the term "Linux" would be referenced by it. Any observer would read your entire post as referring to the word "Linux", because you gave no qualification.

The analogies you tried to construct were fundamentally missing the point because they were based on your wrong premise that I'm telling users of non-GNU Linux systems to call their systems GNU, which I didn't.

Your post as a whole is shit and painful to read so I'll just respond to

This is why I'm asking whether you have a problem grasping English. "All these x" != "every x".

>>13341570
People in this thread were talking about GNU when they were using the word "Linux" so what you're saying is absolutely irrelevant.

>If you want majority of installations to rule what we call it
You're going by the idiotic misinterpretation of the other anon. Read *my* posts if you want to know what I'm saying.

To repeat this for the gazillionth time:

People in this thread are saying "Linux" when they mean GNU.

What's so difficult to understand about that?

Oh, please, define "OS" for us. I'm dying to hear how "OS" includes libc, cat, and sed, but does not include my text editor, my email client, my web browser, my filesystem, my music player, my file downloading application, the drivers to run my hardware, the programs I use to securely access other systems, the little bar at the top of my screen telling me what's happening, the program that sets my desktop wallpaper, X-fucking-11, ...

Or would you like to instead retract your statement that GNU is the actual OS? Perhaps change it to something like "GNU is part of the OS?"

Repeating this doesn't change the fact that you did. Unless you can prove that you knew, for an absolute fact, that nobody using the term "Linux" was using it to refer to a non-GNU system, your post tells them they're wrong (incorrectly).

Furthermore, since you didn't even know that Aboriginal Linux was a non-GNU system, it seems reasonable to conclude that you didn't actually know non-GNU Linux systems existed. When you wrote that post, you really thought that everyone using the term "Linux" to refer to an operating system was incorrect.

>"All these x" != "every x".

As I have pointed out, that doesn't change anything in your post.

How about this. Consider the case of Joe Blow above, who is running a non-GNU Linux system, calls it Linux, and then reads your post. Your post does not inform Joe, in any manner, that is a "super-special" exception. How is Joe supposed to know that he should not be addressed by your request to use "GNU"? After all, people like Joe, who don't really know what Linux and GNU are, are the intended audience of your post!
