As a person who likes owning my computer and having control over the OS that runs on it I agree!
You can install windows on a Mac using bootcamp on intel macs

What kind of stuff would you want to do on Linux?

For general document editing, there is LibreOffice and OpenOffice
For gaming, there is Proton and WINE
For programming, there is massive support for code editors, compilers, and interpreters
Exactly. There's this thing called “options”. You don't have to use the proprietary software made by big corporations.
If I ended up on a computer running Windows, I would use Linux. I am talking about people who want to keep using software made by big corporations. BTW, the software I use has Linux support (cause I can use it online), and I am happy to use alternatives for some software like Safari. ( I can actually make Firefox look like Safari, and also Linux entirely.) I was talking about people thinking that Chrome is the only browser that exists. (Chrome is supported in Linux anyway(but I won’t use it.).)

Yes. Because, my mom backs up her photos on the laptop, and my brother downloading weird stuff and I use like 1 GB on the laptop (I store most stuff on iCloud). So there are 20 GB left on the laptop which my mom will use some of it to “backup” photos on the laptop. And my father has a PC for himself. And I expect getting a new Mac soon. So my mom installed Chrome before I first used the laptop. So I used it for Dev tools. (I didn’t know at the time that Safari had this option hidden in Settings) Then I stopped using Chrome, but I only use it for Scratch for….. Extensions.

I know I was just talking about people who think there are no alternatives to the service to use.

I found that Steam supports Linux. What is Proton and WINE.
And the software I use has Linux support anyway, but I can’t install anything on 20GB remaining laptop. Not even Linux itself.

Wine is a program that allows you to run Windows programs on Linux. Proton does the same, but for games.

I want to make a simple Linux distro. What should I base it off? (I want a basic non-gui Linux distro that DOESN'T NEED ETHERNET. My parents hate ethernet for some reason.)

arch because archiso and you can make it work pretty easily with wifi

That's if you want to make an iso with it, if you don't then it really doesn't matter, although arch is pretty barebones.

Perhaps Arch. It's a simple distro without a GUI that has a package manager and terminal and login screen built in.

Fun fact: If you have malware on a Windows NT device, it's possible that deleting system32 will severely damage the malware. It will also damage your Windows install.

Don't most, if not all Linux distros have login screens?

All Linux distributions TTYs. These present a login screen. Also, Arch only doesn't have a GUI if the user hasn't installed one. It doesn't have a standard out of the box configuration, its how the user sets it up.

Technically no, as in rare cases some distros set /bin/sh as the init.

We all know what things we like on Linux (that's why we like using them, aren't we?)

But what are the things you don't like about Linux? (and other OSes other than the Big Two, I guess)

Hi! This is an alt of my main account.
I'm “back” from a 10-month hiatus.
I forgot the ways of the forums, so I might be wrong.
My first post!

It could be more user-friendly for non-technical people.

By the way I use MacOS but if my parents would get me Linux then I would switch to that. I have gotten experience with Unix because of using MacOS.

You can use a VM or search YouTube for a tutorial on installing Linux for Macs.

This is more of a gnome thing but windows are grouped together in the alt-tab menu. MacOS also does this and its stupid.
Also USB headphones don't work for some reason. Interestingly on windows the 8mm jack doesn't work but it does in linux
