Share something pointless about your life!

I run Gentoo Linux as my primary OS. Been using Linux in general for the last 8 years and couldn't be happier.
It's not for everyone, since my only gaming love is WoW I'm able to live with it quite nicely as a primary OS for both my desktop and laptop machines.

Does it come with headaches? Sure, but I always learn something new along the way and it complements my career field of choice.

Random Fact: It's not Linux but Mac OS X is based off FreeBSD. The OS for the PS4 is also based off FreeBSD. Most of the webservers on the net run Linux. *nix is everywhere!

Long time Fedora user checking in. Hello everyone. I run my games under Windows but it's hard to replace the freedom that Linux distributions offer to programmers and network engineers, I know after a long day I do enjoy booting back into Fedora and remembering what simplicity really is. Sure there's a good chance of running into bumps along the way with any distro, but aside from running games it's a pretty smooth experience.

He's right tho. Smartphones are computers running an OS, which mostly happens to be Linux. There's no point in arguing that.

I figured someone who lives in his parents basement having internet arguments of things he knows nothing about or playing one of his 4000 steam games while vigorously stroking his neck beard would at least know what a computer is. I'm pretty disappointed right now

I hear Andromeda has no concept of context. You might find a home there too.

Yes, Andromeda doesn't have concept of context, because, as far as we know, there haven't been any aliens contacting us in regards to what context is for them.

But seriously, here's context:

Image is about Operating Systems.
The 3 mainstream Operating Systems are : WIndows, MacOS and Linux distros.

The most popular desktop/laptop OS is Windows, nobody argued that.
The most popular computer (computing machine, anything including a processor) OS is Linux.

As you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_...re_by_category

Can we please stop talking about statistics without numbers. Pulling statements out of your *** does not count as fact.

I know it's hard to admit you are wrong, but there's nothing shameful about not being informed well enough. Don't try to argue facts, you'll only make a fool of yourself. Nowhere on that image is the term "desktop or laptop" mentioned. It's about operating systems, and they come on more than just, yes, desktops and laptops.

I had no idea you had a neck beard. Guess I should have figured, though.

But seriously, here's context:

I'll create my own that works to make another comment look wrong.

Fixed that for you.

[Radvo]

Fixed that for you.

He shows a picture with 3 symbols depicting different OS's, running on multiple platforms worldwide.

Obviously he's talking strictly about a small percentage of those, which are desktops and laptops.

Of course.

How did I not see that.

It was so obvious.

Damn, my life is changed. Now that I have the powers to see obviousness in abstract.

[Obnoxious]

The important thing is that you learned.

On a different point, just for ****s and giggles, the view from my penthouse "basement" says hello

Can I just add that there is a lot of data missing off that, one that comes to min are things like POS/Advertisement boards All of which mostly run on a Windows system. IIRC Piccadilly Circle LCDs are on a windows system. Giant LCD Billboards like Time Square.

I'd argue that's no longer the case (it was with Windows XP), but I can't cite sources and am too tired to search...

You're not wrong in regards to some of these devices, but there are more *nix run embedded systems than there are Windows systems.

Prime? Every team can have their moments, heck Leicester is proof of this. Went from nothing to surprise winners of the league.

Teams/managers are forever changing.

I am excited for Euro!! Spain will (hopefully) win!

well,best nationality is Germany,they won the world cup,France and Italy have very strong teams,right now even England has better team than Spain,Spain ruled for like 6+ years football on countries took 1 world cup and 2 EU cups,from 2006 to 2012 it was everything around Spain.
But they are no longer so overpowered they got bored of winning so much xd

They just got easy to predict. Let them have the ball possession, play direct football and their defense shakes from one side to the other. Have fast wingmans and fast midfielders to apply a quick pressure on the defense/attack transition and that's how you control Spain.

Took like 6+ years to underperform that tactic,now everyone took something from it,football became to much passing and passing and gets bored,xd someone must come with a new tactic.
Just look at quardiola he tried his best and skills to make bayern to rule for good years,just like he did with barca,but it's to old and other clubs found the way to counter it just like you said.

IDk whats worse.. Bronze players being bad, or having to deal with Diamond players playing weird off meta things like AP Miss Fortune Support, or Taliyah Jungle. I made a very bad mistake picking Vayne against this MF/Jinx bot....

I'd be happy.. But ****ers keep banning Zed, and when he doesn't get picked I'm last pick so I just sacrifice him so they dont get him. Why did I fall in love with a champ who is perma banned, even if they nerfed him to **** or changed the QSS back to what it was I'd still play the **** out of him, best fun I've had playing a champ ever.

Started a game of black ops 3, started out 14-2 and the second I get my wraith ready the game crashes. But of course when I join a pug where everyone is sitting on .5 k/d the game would never consider crashing.
