From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, I also don't like such general laziness. It's also not just limited to switching to Linux, it's kind of the same with switching to anything that's better but slightly(!) more inconvenient than what you're used to. Well, you can't make or be part of some progress unless you're willing to sometimes get off your comfy couch and do something you've never done before. Like switching to Linux. Like stopping eating meat. Like stopping supporting certain evil companies. Like going to vote for a non-retarded option. Like voting with your wallet for the products you use/buy and also NOT use/buy. If everyone would do it, the world would be a different (better) place. But still too few are doing it. Because it's slightly less convenient. And that would be so damn hard to change. Oh man would that be hard. Not.
I actually think stopping eating meat is easier than switching to Linux, but that matters more on ones psyche and personality
You can always make great vegetarian meals, and limit meat to only eating in restaurants, eating with friends and family or just as a way to reward yourself
Linux is somewhat of an on/off situation, but once you're done switching it's so much more easier
I need Hdr and vrr to work and a replacement for madvr that can make movies look as good as it can.
That's what's holding me, and multiple people I know, from moving to Linux.
The hdr and vrr seems to be about there but as far as I understand there's still not an equivalent to madvr.
Both have been seeing significant improvements recently or have been gotten working. You can test most recent fedora without installing to see if it works.
Linux should have been a developer's platform. Sadly it's incredibly commercial now. Won't be long before it becomes like Windows for the gAmErS.
People won't like it to hear but let's face something: if your reasoning to keep using a proprietary system that violates your privacy and belong to a evil company is because you have to play videogames your intelligence and self control is that of a child.
