It's not that I hate Linux, but I wish it had more professional media production software.

>>105694935 (OP)
Used to be a linux user myself but I just got tired of
- endless wars about every random software
- jeets and trannies
- powertripping narcistic faggots like ebussy
- commiepedotroons like devault
- half-baked foss trannyware

linux is not safe.
its an always online server os full of exploits that anybody can ssh into.

>>105695379
What a bunch of weirdos.

>>105695379
How does _using_ linux expose you to the things you mention?

>>105694935 (OP)
Desktop Linux is a meme.
Huge waste of time. It's extra work. Unnecessary extra work.
You won't realize it at first. Because of all the dopamine comes from trying out something new at first.

And that's why many people end up distro hopping. They seek more easy dopamine by trying out new stuff. Like unboxing new gifts.

But after some time it's gonna start to feel like a weight.
You'll start to realize all the extra work of staying at the Linux side.
Like you hold something, it doesn't feel heavy at first, but, like after half an hour later it'll start to become really really heavy.

>>105694935 (OP)
The amount of NPCs that latch onto opinions about their software is unlike any other group I've ever encountered. People will make it their entire personality to "do something the X way" and never even bother to try something else or understand why doing something the Y way might be just as valid, or even better. Everyone wants to plant their little flag on their little islands and shoot at their rival factions. Everything is splintered and everything sucks because of it.

>>105694968
anything related to audio/MIDI
kde

all unix-derived systems are ugly. like a virus, they make you sick and have only one advantage: they're very well adapted to spreading. unfortunately, that means that sooner or later Windows - the only other ecosystem worthy of note - is going to give up and graft cancer onto itself. WSL is just the start.

and whenever someone makes a hobby OS, what do they do? they set out to reinvent unix rather than making something new and good. "sneedOS is a unix like hobby OS..."

>>105696519
It kinda does, since I am tired of the foss developer attitude, like "NOOOO, YOU DONT NEED THAT FEATURE, USE CASE UNCLEAR, OH MY FAUCI, ITS SO HARD TO BE OPEN SAUCE DEVELOPER, REDHAT PLEASE GIVE US MORE MONEY!". I also needed some proprietary software that won't work on linux.

it finally happened to me on my ten year old thinkpad. I upgraded my distro because of a libc 3.2 thing and my audio is fucked now, spent an hour trying to fix it and I did but the hardware keys no longer work despite x catching the events appropriately. fucckkkk

>>105694935 (OP)
If Linux doesn't work, blame your hardware.

>>105700541
>blame everything but linux cope

Prove me wrong.
PROTIP: You can't.

>>105694942
i want that dragon cock up my ass
>>105696655
People cling onto software because it works for them. If it aint broke dont fix it, but wayland tards want me to switch to their buggy mess. X is still way more stable on nvidia. I’m not beta testing trannies new best thing(tm) as I actually want to get work done on my computer. I am not changing my workflows. If you disagree, go neck yourself.

>>105696595
What is there to use? Windows? MacOS and Apple's overpriced hardware? Linux desktop is a big mess but still a tiny bit better than having to deal with the proprietary alternatives

>>105701332
MacOS is just unix without all the freetard bullshit. If you’re gonna spend your entire lifetime at computers, might as well pay a bit more.

Not something specific to Linux per se, but I dislike how nowadays every "simple" program has to be this bloated mess of libraries, dependencies and overall unnecessary stuff. I used to think Linux was supposed to be "KISS"
>search for a wallpaper program
>find a nice one that sets up the "picture of the day" from diffrent sources
>have to install hundreds of Mb just to automatically change my wallpaper
Holy shit why do you need all that crap? I ended up just using a bash script that does the exact same thing. And this happens to all modern "simple" tools like calculators, pomodoro timers, counters, etc.
>just download more disk space bro
That's not the point, the point is general programs shouldn't be full of bloat and much less recommended and prefered over simpler alternatives.

Why is nobody bringing up font rendering? It's one of the most obvious issues that newfags notice. Did you all just get used to it?

>>105704126
I once upon a time read that Ubuntu once had a dedicated team working on proper font rendering. Which is great, because it means somebody is taking care over there. But, that was more than a decade ago by now, during upstart and unity days. No idea what happened and if Mr. Shuttleworth is still putting focus on it.

>>105704666
I see. Kinda pathetic that Linux has been around for ages, yet hadn't even been able to get fonts right. Year of the Linux desktop my ass.

>>105694935 (OP)
My complaint isn't about Linux as such, though it is rough around the edges. It's the "community", where every single problem is Your fault (core dumped), even when its documented a million times across the internet.
Say what you like about Microsoft or Apple, but they tend not to lie about the limitations or flaws of their OSs, and fix them pretty quickly and publically, instead of blaming the user and quietly fixing it in 18 months time.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Linux would progress in leaps and bounds if we simply genocided loontroons who go spastic when you criticize their waifu OS, and try to cover up its rough edges instead of fixing them.

>linux is a unix os
>doesn't come with apple keyboard support, despite apple being the only big tech player using unix

>>105698574
>It kinda does
Not if you avoid shit like that, stay away from desktop environments for example.

>>105702471
If something's as easy as a simple script most people are doing it that way and you're only downloading software for retards, so that's what you get.

>>105704126
I just use bitmap fonts, works fine.

skill issue: the thread

>>105709712
We had a loontroon come through the last /fwt/ bitching and moaning that M$ was conspiring against him because the UFD he made with the Windows Media Creation Tool wouldn't boot. Turns out the blithering tard had "boot from USB" disabled in his BIOS.
Then you Zimbabwean apes wonder why we've called you "freetards" for the last 30 years, and your "u-ur stoopid" cope gets laughed at.

Fuck this shitty emulator. It only emulates game, even then it doesn't work like half of my friendslop and mods

Install Linux Mint as your OS and be free of any problems you might have with Linux.
I've been on it for over a year now, I don't even know what a gnome is, don't care.

>>105710432
idk man, works on my machine and powers the world
it is quite literally plug and play, and yet wintards are too retarded to do even that. meanwhile on windows, if the boot partition isn't exactly where they want it it shits the fucking bed when booted directly. I installed grub just so windows doesn't complain.

>>105710711

Yes, because waiting for people to type "how to get sound in linux" or scraping web server responses is just so much more accurate than hard sales figures.
Not shaking the "freetard" moniker, here.
