Privacy. The main reason why people should use it. You obviously haven't used Linux much, because every distro has its own repository of packages, specially tested for it. We are used to Windows fan boys, your speech is copied over an over on every forum.
Why do you participate in this Linux specific thread? In an other thread you had a similar problem: the TO had opened a thread specific about his programming language Python and you tell him in that same thread that his choice is shit. Now, you repeat your same problem also in this thread. I would say you have a deficit in your head. Are you maybe a psycho?... Just be happy with your Windows, and leave us Linux users alone.
For me the GUI is really just secondary. I instead want a very responsive system. The idle CPU usage is only about 1% with this desktop. A friend some years ago had showed me his fancy KDE with animations etc, but I was shocked, as it ate more than 60% of the CPU for the desktop management only I cannot use such a resource monster
Not every distro does though many do. So you don't think this thread is full of Linux fan boys either? Yes, each one has their own preferences though I question the use of Linux by many here on this site given they are going to such great lengths to get windows based apps running under Linux. If privacy is such concern then it's funny how they are so willing to provide emails and other login details on public chat forums and on social media or risk getting hacked on crypto websites...
So only fan boys are permitted to post here? That's a rather strange notion. I find it strange how so many run circles around making windows apps work on Linux. Lots of wasted time it seems...
yea it depends, what i mean is that in comparison with 20 years ago now is super easy to make software working if options are not directly available. For instance i use mac os and the tc2000 cloud is super slow to run in a browser, so i installed on a windows 11 emulator, parallels, and is running super fast, even if I am doing some coding work with super heavy IDE on Mac(market opens while i am working)
And how is this useful to let all your other cpu threads sit idle and consume about a similar amount of energy?
That's not a bad idea, but wouldn't you be running Windows and Linux at the same time? That will eat up resources and slow your computer down. I'd rather be running 1 thing at a time, and I like the idea of having a choice when I start the computer to either run linux or windows. And yes I am a windows hater and I'll tell you why. It is managed by bill gates, who likes to install all these unnessacery programs that he thinks is important. And these programs connect to the internet and are constantly downloading and updating and slowing your internet connnection and eating up memory. And you can't delete them either. It's like driving a Farrari and having the e-brake on. I am even going to try to install Wine program on Linux. Wine will let you run windows applications on Linux, but they don't always work.
