Er, Windows is only better than Linux for graphics if the card vendor's Windows driver is better than its Linux driver.

Ok. How often is that?

@Mr. Jesus No. You've got it exactly right. Languages have their strengths. No reason not to use .NET or WinForms for quick GUIs. You pick the language which fits the project. Why would I choose C for managing Web servers when Python is more efficient. I used to use a lot of Java for web development but I think it is rapidly becoming superflouous.

That's my point. It's not an OS feature.

right, but it's the practical reason

doesn't matter if linux is better if it doesn't work better.

I remember when ubuntu was good 🤣 damn I feel old

7.04 i think was the first one I used 🤔

@Unwound Trust that feeling.😁

😔 i remember how excited I was to get those cube workspaces with compiz

Oh yeah. I remember that nonsense.

now I can't even get a new phone and be excited 😔

y u getting new phone?

To be spied on more?

literally no fucking reason. damn... you are right.

it's not really spying if they already know about it

more like voyeurism

nah, u can knowingly be spied on.

that's more exihibitionism

heck, every time you leave your house, you are knowingly being spied on.

well, if you live in a city...

I think spying has to be in secret

spying in the sense of spying on someone

nope. I think its intent must be hidden, by design and not in practice

@Paradox it comes back to open source software and it being more eco to build. when software changes then linux can win. but unitl then people will be inprisoned to DRM games and spyware adware in their paid progs

@Paradox yup, going to have to agree with @taekahn . You are being surveilled not spied upon.

what im saying is windows dev, like the oS

no one is doing it anymore.. they deleted peoples files just recently

Well, now that i've sirred the pot, i'm going to disappear for an hour or two.

*its what i do*

people make programs, sure windows still has like REact js etc.. many new cross platform

>it's not a secret

@Paradox well that is windows 10 for sure. they send copies of private keys to their own stuff

>so it's not spying

And it doesn't need to be a secret

obviously the only defintions that apply are the secret ones

@Paradox Yes. Secretly is the key difference. There is nothing secret about it, the cameras hang on posts.

See 2 and 3

2 doesn't apply

don't be obtuse
