Look, I don't want to deal with you, you are the one that is making a joke of yourself.
We'll see about your "smart" replies then.
I only will tell you a couple of things. "
will" comes before "only" in English grammar, Mr. Superior
Unix, specifically Linux, is used for research all around Germany.
The HPC pools run Linux, centres for big data analysis run Linux.
Most development is done in Linux.
False, see below.
Servers for most of the tools and services used and developed inside Siemens run on Linux.
That's nice you found usage examples but they're quite meaningless since of course it is being used by some people. Nobody denied that so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. Concentrate on actual contradictions.
That said, to your points:
- Windows and OSX are programmed in C mostly, be it C++ or Objective C, that are extensions of C in the end. That said, software in Linux is written in C, C++, Java, .NET, Python, long etc. Don't be ignorant.
Linux has far more C software outside of the kernel and it's an unstable language hence the "segmentation fault" crashes on many of them. Oh and what is this "long" programming language you speak of? Never heard of it...
- You don't need a terminal, but the same way someone who does real IT work on Windows or programming for real projects, you of course benefit of using a shell, be it PowerShell or a bash derivative.
You do, for using the Linux system, not programming on it. Ever even used it yourself? Almost nothing works without it but of course you're falsely comparing to IT projects when arguments were referred to "users".
- Open source developers are paid, what the hell do you think is open source for the sake of god? Open source actually doesn't mean free software, but even in this case when some company develops something that is to be used loyalty free they have business models (e.g. support, consulting, etc.) to make money, don't be ignorant.
False. Most open source developers are obviously not paid in general and when they are, it's essentially a corporate quality product. Google and others make "professional" open source software which doesn't suck hence it's the exception of the rule. Some non-funded projects are still high quality but typical Linux basement-dweller open source software is overall crap.
- GDB is not the only way to debug, and actually the possibility to use pipes and run servers easily on any Unix based system, specially Linux, but including macOS, make it more suitable for development of software used by big companies across multiple servers.
For debugging you use IDEs so I don't see how your meaningless mumbling about servers makes it any easier than Windows for example. Windows has servers as well and they're easier to use because it's Windows. Linux is by the way "only" used by 20% of all developers but you claim most use it (which would be more than 50%):

- I would personally use Microsoft Office over LibreOffice any day, and this is in my view a weakness of Linux (regarding office software). But this is not its main use, and also in the world of research where it is used widely publications are often created using LaTeX, it is the standard for publication in the scientific world.
You agreed that Office is better and your statement about LaTeX is once again without context hence has no meaning as response but it's correct. LaTeX is also available on Windows but Office isn't available on Linux.
- I don't really edit video on Windows or OSX (I am a Mac user mostly, but I use Windows and Linux often for work), and even if I don't know very well about this field, I think you are right, Linux is behind regarding video edition.
I edit videos so I know but since you agreed here, fair enough.
- Basic applications like GDB reintroduce bugs: this is wrong, I don't want to write further, I used already more energy on you than I was willing, expect short answers from now on.
Nope, it's right because it happened to me and other people in the course. Period. Don't bother arguing when you don't know just to act smart.
- There is no good game cheating software: this is not its forte, but I am fighting your ignorance regarding other field, Linux is widely used professionally for WORK and RESEARCH in everyday applications in the world.
Nice excuse, so again you agreed with me that the software variety is poor yet again. Windows is used by most people, it doesn't lack anywhere like Linux does in plenty aspects. What about security/process isolation/application tamper-proofing science and research? Uh, whack tool support for that and it has a good purpose...
- I got tired...
Yeah, tired of wannabe correcting someone. Grow up and quit acting high and mighty but then fall flat on your face when you're trying to sound smart. What a joke. You barely made a valid counter argument in a whole wall of text. Too bad, it would've been nice to read some more untargeted random bullshit by you. "Hurr, durr, the sky is blue. You just got out-argued". Yeah, no. You actually refer to claims and not post generalizations. Sit down.
