I've had this kind of discussion (win vs linux) for 20 years. What I've learned is that they lead nowhere. Windows people will keep saying their OS is better because they have paid for it and because they are unable to use linux. On the other end, the world is full of selfish nerds that use linux and are very close minded.
No reference to anybody here.
You simply gotta get the best of the two worlds, and stop complaining.
Why would someone say their OS is better because it's not free? Also why would someone say something is better having not even tried the other?
1) because they paid for it and want to show others they did not waste their money.
2) it happens everytime: people like to talk about things they don't know about, and they want to do things they don't know how to do. learning is too tiring for most people.
I like free things, I also have used nix. Nix is extremely cryptic. Anything remotely advanced you do in it, you have to use the CLI for... much like Win 3.11. There is just a nice looking UI layered on top of that is borderline worthless other then just running a web browser and maybe some productivity software like document editors and such. If you don't know what you're doing in the CLI or can't find the commands to do what you want to do online you're screwed.
if you took the time to learn CLI, you would know that it's a fast and powerful tool, much more useful than the GUI.
the GUI is for people who don't want to take the time to learn.
and the tools and documentation to learn the CLI are everywhere: man, info, tutorials, guides, FAQs, Q&A sites like stackoverflow...
take some weeks to learn the CLI and save months of time fighting with the limitations of the GUI!
Why would I take time to essentially gain a degree in a area when Windows works pretty much just as good only without the huge learning curve? Just saying 'something is better' isn't really a argument. In this case, its' not, which is why a lot of people use Windows instead of nix and why it'll never catch on for normal users... and why it's also not relevant at the current time.
Nix has a place in life, which is databases and the backbone of the internet... and as always there are people with degrees and certifications working on it.
I only fight with the UI in nix. In Windows it's quite intuitive to get around and do what I want to... that's why there is a UI in the first place, to make everyones life easier without having to memorize a couple hundred commands, infinite variables, syntax, and cause and effect... Meaning seeing exactly what you do right away.

It's not even about the raw "which is better" argument - they're each better at different things. The point is that Bensam goes and talks shit about an OS - and almost every point he makes has ZERO support. Why? Because he knows not a goddamned thing about it, but he wants to trash it. Then the dipshit asserts he's not lazy and entitled because he TALKS about distribution methods... which because he also has jack shit for knowledge of development or sales, his ideas are equally fucking stupid and/or unworkable.
I guess usability and the ability to navigate and repair a OS for someone who doesn't have four years experience and a degree isn't a point. Just because you selectively read my posts doesn't mean I don't make points...
lol... yup a miner fee is unworkable and/or stupid. Also don't have a four year degree... Hey... Claymore, how's your miner working out now that you have virtually every Decred and Ethereum AMD miner on board? Oh yeah... why would he say anything when he's funneling 1% of all Eth and 1% of all Dcr mining into his pocket?
You're a dumbass Wolf0. Anytime you're wrong you bury your head between your legs and start licking your nuts until you can insult the other person enough they don't talk to you anymore... or you just say things that are outright a lie or untrue. That's being said lightly. How often do I throw insults around in a argument? How often do I make points without belittling the other person? It's not hard to get pissed off, show lack of control, or throw insults around. It's hilarious that some people think they're on the winning side because they can throw a tantrum.
Hey look... more points I don't make.
*Nix is cryptic because you are fucking lazy. Second, your miner fee bullshit is not only far from ideal, you try to force it on everyone like they owe you something.
You wanna talk shit? Fine - you make lots of points, most of them based on either faulty logic or are straight up bullshit. I'm not the only one who's gotten annoyed with you, simply because you TRY to annoy people. Assert you are always right, the logic of this being that anything your argument is based on is right. Then wonder why people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about don't like you - it's hilarious that you pretend not to understand why people don't like you.
By the way - Claymore can keep his Eth and DCR profits; I'm happy for him. I'm working on being far ahead of the game, as I've been doing, and I should soon be building my own farm - and mining at several times the efficiency of others, again. So, go ahead - call me a dumbass. You're not even really worth insulting - not like you begin to learn a damned thing. Keep trolling; I'm sure it fulfills you.
Nix is cryptic because I'm lazy? Are you lazy because you wont write code for me for free? People's time has meaning and in this case it's a waste of mine to learn essentially a programming language for a OS so that I can do what I'm already doing with another OS. Get over yourself. You're not the only one whose time is worth something.
Cryptic is not also the same thing as being lazy. Cryptic means it's hard to understand/learn. Most of the time they make it a huge pain in the ass to learn. It's not like a modern day CLI which offers a lot of tips or helpful hints. It's literally a programming language. When I have to dig through the bowels of the internet to find a niche answer that I can't find in the OS on a regular basis there is something seriously wrong. There are a lot of ways they could make learning CLI easier and more intuitive too... however, nix as always doesn't fail to disappoint at being very... cryptic.
I mean why do you think nix (and its bajillion variants) isn't popular outside backbone infrastructure? Its not because no one knows about it or they're lazy.
Look more points. I guess with faulty logic because they aren't yours.
Where did I ever talk about people liking me or hating me? Once again you just talking random shit out your ass in a desperate attempt to win some cred in the argument by making me look bad.
I assert I'm right with my points and with logic. You assert yours by talking down to someone, insulting them, then just saying they're wrong without disproving them. So eat my fucking points, eat all of them, you're wrong.
Going on to Eth... show how little know how you have when it comes to cryptoconomy if you're turning your nose up at 1% of Ethereum mining profits across the board. Oh and this is another point of why a mining fee works, but once again this isn't about you, is it? It's about proving a system works and your acknowledgement or approval means exactly dick when it comes to a system that works and is beneficial for everyone. Matter of a fact it has nothing to do with disproving they work either.
As far as building a farm goes... go at it dude. Not sure why I would care about your success again, but I guess since everything is about you... There is a reason there is more then one job in the world. You'll eventually figure that out once you try to do everything.
"You're not even really worth insulting" ...yet you do it all the fucking time and that's all you do in a argument. Lets add hypocrite to the list of your adjectives.
