Are failures of Linux the proof that no profit incentive = poor quality of the end product?

>>105764603 (OP)
List some of these failures anon.

>You don't break userspace.
Break userspace on every odd day.

1. Can't just werk
2. Ugly cheaplike UI in all DE
3. No standardization
4. Monolithic, bloated, worst ever designed kernel
5. It's alive only cuz corps don't have to bring themselves in courts so they just take it and add features they need tho

I bought a laptop. I installed Linux on it. Everything just worked except the fingerprint reader. I came from Windows 10 LTSC and KDE looks just about the same. Zero need to adjust. Everything else I don't care because it works on my motherfucking machines and all the machines I am expected to maintain.

>>105764727
Why not just use win 11 + WSL or MacOS where literally everything really works? I can understand using linux as server but I can't really understand to use gnu/linux as a primary desktop OS where trivial things are much complicated compared to desktop-oriented OSs.

Even installing docker desktop, postgres with pgadmin and with its default db are much easier on windows. On linux I had to figure out how to do that for hours.

>>105764804
Windows 11 is hot garbage. I've been installing it for other people lately and it's not a great experience. Every time I need to use someone's computer at work that's running it and I open that piece of shit start menu I'm filled with disappointment. Any other task works basically the same on Linux as it does on Windows. I don't have issues with most things. The trade off is that not every product under the sun is targeted at your OS. Like my SDR for example. I want to listen to the radio on my computer and SDR# is my software of choice. The driver support is there but I can only get older versions of that software working through Wine. Little things like that are a small price to pay to not run a jeetified dumpster fire of an OS that keeps getting worse over time. Some tasks I do are actually easier on Linux and I much prefer having a terminal that isn't shit.

He just wanted to install Steam.
Nuking OS should never be even a possibility in such case.

>>105764990
why should the retarded be protected from their own stupidity? everything needs a barrier to entry. when you dumb things down to normgroidal levels of retardation, it instantly becomes shit.

>>105764990
I don't have steam installed but I'm gonna do it right now just to prove a point.

>>105764708

a day of the month that's not divisible by 2

>>105765035
There was a bug (which shouldn't exist in a proper tested product) where just saying "Yes" while installing Steam would destroy your desktop.

>>105764727
I had the same experience with my laptop back in 2022 and I was really pleasantly surprised how well everything worked. I honestly don't even know what normies think they need windows for anymore.

>>105765053
Now who's fault is that? Is it the fault of Linux or the fault of Steam? It doesn't matter in 2025 because it fucking works now.

>>105765050
Linux hasn’t broken my user space today (yet)

>>105765058
Well I'd love if I could just tell everyone here at my work to switch to Linux but it's not easy because of Microsoft Office and other proprietary shitware they run. I'm glad I don't need it. Because they do we now need to get rid of a bunch of old machines that don't support 11.

>>105765053
>saying "Yes" while installing Steam would destroy your desktop.
More accuratelly, saying "yes, do as I say" to a message that said more or less "doing this shit will remove a bunch of essential stuff and could fuck shit up, if youre really sure you want to proceed type YES DO AS I SAY"
>>105765065
>Now who's fault is that?
Whoever maintains PopOs! considering it was only a problem in that particular distro

>>105765065
>Now who's fault is that?
Incompetent package maintainers.
And that's why application distribution shouldn't be left to those who have no stake in doing their job properly - autistic script kiddie distro maintainers.
It should be left to application developers themselves - exactly how it is on other platforms.

>>105765113
It has never caused me any problems. Probably because I wouldn't use a meme distro like PopOs!

>>105764603 (OP)
So why does his kid doesnt look like him?

>>105765173
Because he race mixed.

There has never been an OS designed with a profit incentive in mind. Implemented sure, but fewer than you would think.

>>105764603 (OP)
>Linux Tech Tips
>uses windows

>>105765209
what's a race ?

>>105765310
A construct

>>105764603 (OP)
There is profit incentive involved in Linux. The failures of Linux are usually attributed to the fact that most companies are actively malicious.
>>105764990
>Fresh install with outdated iso
>Know just enough to use the terminal based package manager, but not enough to know even the basic steps for how to use it, like updating first to avoid dependency related shenanigans that would lead to your packages being uninstalled
>Don't read any of the warnings, but do read the text telling you how to proceed
At this point "being able to do this" is just a natural consequence of being able to use the computer to do anything. At any point he could have easily avoided this, so it's obviously just for clicks.

>>105765065
Fault of the user for being in the terminal and not reading / trying to understand the gigantic nuclear warning message before typing 'yes do as I say'.

do the entire linux community a favor and FUCKING KILL YOURSELF
we don't want subhuman nigger trash like you using linux
you are not freechads like us, you are brain dead subhuman freetard nigger trash
you are beneath literal actual fucking niggers in intelligence
the entire linux community would benefit from YOU ENDING YOUR WORTHLESS FUCKING BRAINDEAD NPC LIFE
YOU ARE AN EMBARASSMENT TO THE ENTIRETY OF LINUX
KILL YOURSELF YOU SUBHUMAN FREETARD NIGGER SACK OF SHIT
WE DONT WANT YOU BRAINDEAD SUBHUMAN NIGGERS ON LINUX

>>105765113
There's a reason why I use Gentoo and not some wintoddler tourist distro.

>>105768021
Just as funny as first time I saw this.

>>105765540
And the OS refusing to install steam wasn't a problem?

>>105768322
No.
It gave a clear error message that would have been resolved by just updating and upgrading before trying to install new packages with conflicting dependencies.
