Maybe their server business is subsidizing their consumer departments. I'd like to see HP dead within this decade.

What should we choose then?

Source? I'm interested in this.

No, we can't. That ship has sailed.

You mean your Jeef collection stored in Sequel on a Scuzzy drive?

Your problem was that you didn't smoke pot at your workplace.

You got it wrong, it will present that as "malware.jpg"

SSD's firmware get many necessary updates.

Yeah, because it's obvious people in a company will only work with people in the same company. No e-mail will reach people outside the organization, right?.
Why don't you think a little bit before posting? Is your company willing to train every single guy who needs to use a document?

Have you ever left your basement?

Mod parent down, never worked with non-techy people.

It's all right, I don't care about the opinions of fanbois. Link me to some benchmark showing a significant (more than 20%) difference on Windows vs. Linux for the exact same workload and I might believe you. Otherwise you're just pulling out your Windows 98 era knowledge, which I don't care about.

Most of that stuff is getting done on the GPU nowadays. Except on Xfce, of course.

Are you seriously claiming you can't spare 1 or 2 GB of your computer for the OS on a 32 GB of RAM computer?

Audio editors are much better on Windows or Mac OS. Where the fuck are you getting your information from? Small business owners use Microsoft Office. Are you Linux fanboy?

I'd rather pirate Windows 7 and get (almost) anything the way I want it. 3 minutes of tweaking (Always show file extensions, taskbar like previous versions, disable sticky keys, etc.) and it's just what I need and want.

Why, why is this still and issue? Are you using a Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM? Otherwise I can't comprehend how on earth you would claim any OS to be "resource intensive." There's no such thing in 2015. Every OS works fine with decent hardware, and if you use computers for a living I can't believe you're not able to buy 8GB of RAM.

Anyway, I'm not telling you how to use your computer or anything. Whatever rows your boat.

Xfce is for those people who think Windows 95 is the pinnacle of user interfaces. It's fine for a OS-in-a-USB-drive kind of thing but that's it. No redeeming features other than "it's better than Gnome 3"
