Yup. When you want real work to get done, you use Linux/Unix. When you want to play games, Windows will suffice.

Linux doesn’t have a bunch of crap running in the background

[JRandomFreeper]

No Vax or C/PM?

Meh. I don’t run ZOS at home either.

Is this seriously what Linux people are bragging about?

500 computers that almost no one will ever use, that just chucks out raw data? Of course they use Linux!

And guess what? 99% of the computers that will ever do anything remotely useful with that data are not running Linux, and number in the billions.

I shudder to think how many of those 500 machines are used by the NSA to mine our data.

Linux just keeps getting better and faster every year. I still have to run the 'doze OS from time to time for some legacy proggies that do not run well under Linux, but then again the Wine app comes in quite handy for lots of those as well.

Surprised the macophiles have not jumped in yet. I remember one loon who was frothing at the mouth at Me not too long ago when I pointed out how his apple bricks were good for little more than paint and poster projects.

Kind of reminded Me of this one graphics chip programmer who swore up and down that if people would just listen to him, his beloved graphics chipset(s) would simply run rings around any standard cpu with a little tweaking of the basic OS.

And, of course, they show really pretty fonts for when you need a fancypants terminal to chat and send messages on:

Linux people crack me up.

Walk into any Fortune 500 business and about 99.9% of the time you will find they are running Windows operating systems (desktop and server). Microsoft owns, oh, about 90% of the market share for home OS as well. SQL Server is the #1 database server and Exchange in the #1 email server. The list goes on and on.

But Microsoft is dying. LOL!
