What are Linux's killer apps that aren't on Windows? Desktop ricing doesn't count.

>>105992286 (OP)
No usecase

Not having half the population of New Delhi spying on my every move is killer app enough for me, Rakesh.

I mean ricing aside, the fact that there are full fucking UIs (DEs, WMs, compositors) and that's something you can just pick and choose from is pretty neat.
Gnome is sick. KDE is sick. Hyprland is sick. What's even better is you can tweak each of these to meet your needs fairly easily. I don't get the holy war that DE fags have because you can literally just install the shit you like and move on with your life instead of shit talking. Or you can just straight up start contributing to the software instead of being a faggot online.

Windows you're just stuck with whatever slop Microsoft shits out and that's it, end of story.

Almost all good linux software also has a windows version.

KDE Plasma

>>105992286 (OP)
Honestly, for the home desktop or laptop user there aren’t any. Most of the very best FOSS software, and some proprietary apps, are cross-platform. The killer app is the operating system itself. It’s less bloated and faster than Windows on equivalent hardware, contains no adware, no spyware, no forced automatic updates, no unremovable useless crap you don’t want, and above all is YOURS FOR FREE.

>>105992680
>Why wouldn't I just double-click the game on my desktop and play?

Anything command line related. It's a fucking hassle to use Powershell on Windows for anything, I just yt-dlp on Linux and it just works. Package managers are fast and save shit ton of time, try setting up winget on Windows.

>>105992845

>>105992680
Dog, btrfs snapshots are nothing like system restore points. In fact, not having btrfs on windows would be enough to kill it for me.

Massively depends on who you are and what you do.

>for software engineers
The one really critical advantage is having actual local Docker (not an awkward bloated VM setup). For those who use containers a lot it's a pretty convincing reason to use Linux. Other than that, for a desktop SWE workstation, it trades blows with macOS.
For laptops you 100% want a Macbook though, no question.
Windows is a very poor choice unless you're a gamedev or exclusively writing native Windows software. WSL2 and tools like Git Bash can make it bearable if you really must.

>for gamers
Gaming on Linux only really makes sense on devices like the Steam Deck, where the whole hardware+software stack has been carefully configured and tested for you. Fuck DIYing it. Just use Windows.

>for software engineers who also game
Buy two physically separate computers and a KVM switch. Don't try to make your personal and work lives mingle on the same hardware, it's a recipe for misery.

>for casual users who literally just need a browser
Linux is actually really nice for this. Chrome works just as well on Linux as anywhere else, and the OS won't force you to restart to install updates.

>>105993029
Oh great so now only the government my isp and every corporation on the planet plus some courier pigeons still knows everything that goes in and out of my computer and where I am and what I'm doing. Luckily my removing of that one set of data points means they know nothing.

>>105993060
>gamescope

The only purpose of these is to make Windows programs work on Linux...yeah, of course they're not on Windows because you can just run the applications anyway.

>>105993231
It's more about how shit and slow Windows has become with those things but I'm sure your 2 rupees for shilling will feed your growing family.

>>105992922
yt-dlp just works on Windows as well, the trick is to install it with winget and it should update the path.

Package managers.
On Windows, I'd have to open my browser, search for the program I need, download it, open my Downloads folder and install it.
And I'm not even talking about uninstalling it.

>>105992286 (OP)
procmon

>>105993279
>open my Downloads folder
Why not click the convenient downloads drop down menu in your browser and click on the installer you just downloaded?

>>105993279
Not at all.
I recently set up a Windows computer from scratch and installed everything with winget, right inside the terminal.

>>105993279
>>105993295
Also, downloading stuff in your browser is better. Why? Because you can research software and then download them within the same program; you can't research software with Discover or pamac.

They really are not, also a non shit DE like KDE has a proper task manager with more customization. Also Discover shits on windows explorer and leaves the asshole gaping white hot liquid.
Your last point is fucking retarded your step father should have hit you more.

>>105993501
Nah, being able to do shit on Windows doesn't count anon because it's easy and fanboys work hard to replicate basic Windows functions, that makes them elite
You need to install Linux for yourself so you can understand just how elite they are

>>105993506
All of these can be installed on windows

>>105993522
So you're upset that programs thats tarted on linux have windows support?

>>105993239

what uses linux kernal?

Android,

Steam Deck/SteamOS

ChromeOS

most websites,

super computers,

cars,

Kisko like mcdonalds use windows hence why they are always crashing...

>>105993567
all those listed are not killer "apps"

>>105992677
Because you're supposed to run every application as separate, unprivileged user.

This actually works fine thanks to Wayland. If you wanted to crack GTA 6, you could create a _gta user first, then give it a whitelist, restrict its access to your ~/Games folder, and run it for the first time.

(It's also more secure than on Windows, where videogames can access to your personal files and change your wallpaper.)

>>105992286 (OP)
Open source programs aren't made artificially exclusive for no reason. It's pretty awesome that all the cool software I've discovered since moving to Linux (syncthing, vim, yt-dlp, MPV, and more) is also available on Windows (and other OSes like BSD). Part of the free software mindset is, well, that it's free, that you're free to use it how you want. It's less that these applications are exclusive, and more that they're integrated better with the Linux ecosystem.
Also, good luck installing ffmpeg on Windows.

>>105993544
So why are you bitching?
Fucking sperg

>>105993587
Oh, so now we're moving the goalposts to "killer apps" but ignoring the fact that Linux is literally the foundation for the world’s computing? Cute.

Fine. You want “killer apps” that run on Linux kernel-based systems?
Android runs the Linux kernel, so I guess I’ll just list Google Play Store apps next?
Would that help you cope better?

Because if 3 billion devices running Linux aren’t “app platforms” in your eyes, you’re not asking for “killer apps,” you’re asking to stay ignorant.

best way to switch to linux is probably by using open source programs on windows first. That way all you need ot get used to is package manager and desktop.

>>105993659

>>105993644
>windows has a command line package manager now
I wish I had known about this when I was on Windows

>>105992286 (OP)
On the desktop? Probably nothing at all.

>>105993708
Yeah, it's pretty much what makes Windows usable to me now. What's great is that I can uninstall Windows Store (get-appxpackage *windowsstore* | remove-appxpackage) and still get anything available in there with winget, plus it'll download all sorts of regularly used stuff from the web.
I'm not hating on Linux though. Like you (or the other poster I responded to) said, Linux's value is precisely in the fact that it doesn't have killer apps. You own the software in the system. There's something to be said for that.
I like that I can enjoy using both, and I do.

>>105993204
>Fuck DIYing it. Just use Windows.
I just click 'enable proton' on steam or install the game through lutris and it just werks.

Alright,

Emacs + use-package
oniux

Windows is literally dragging research behind. And you can install texlive-full in 3 minutes with a fiber connection on Alpine Linux.

And you can't use Windows on mobile phones. You can use a POSIX environment with pmOS, e.g. I plug my OLKB Planck into my Pinephone and start taking meeting notes. I use my phone to reprogram and flash my keyboard, natively, and Emacs with nov.el on pmOS is the best way I've found to read ePub documents.

>>105993847
A killer app is an app with high mainstream demand that is exclusive to particular operating systems.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/killer%20app
While I'm sure the software you mentioned is great and has a ton of value to your own personal workflow, it certainly doesn't possess the desirability that would put it on the "killer app" level.

>>105992680
>My Windows programs already self-update.
Some argue this is a very bad thing since you lose control over your software and thus your computing experience
>Why wouldn't I just double-click the game on my desktop and play?
It's so you don't need to install 4 different launchers (epic, Gog, Amazon) and can centralize all of your management to a single source
>Windows has system restore points.
As mentioned not the same thing

If you like windows it's probably fine to stick to it. It's the best OS for retards. I was just responding to the OP questions

>>105992286 (OP)
Almost all games that come with dedicated server softwares support Linux plus VPS primarily use Linux.

>>105993204
I think you don't realize how easy gaming is on Linux now.

All of the shit Valve did for the steam deck (proton) applies for existing distros too. If you have Nvidia you're always going to be a little bit cursed on Linux but AyyyMD gpus are great.

Performance ranges between worse than windows and better than windows depending on the game

The only reason you should not consider Linux on an AMD gaming build is if you are set on playing games with non-supported anticheat.

But I mean take a look at protondb and look at how much shit works across various distros/hardware. All you need to do is enable compatibility via proton in the global settings and you're set to install basically anything without an issue

This isn't a flamewar troll thread. We celebrate the fact that most Linux apps are able to run from the WSL, and it's a development goal.

But GNOME software, among others, still counts as Linux-exclusive because it couldn't run on Windows without the WSL; we wouldn't claim otherwise about Adobe Photoshop, even though you could run it in a VM or thanks to an emulation layer.

Linux doesn't really have one. But it's proof you don't need one as well. Free software means anything can be ported to a non-free system. But it also means freedom.
I use both.

>Because you can research software and then download them within the same program
What is the benefit of these two things happening within the same program?
what if I want to release the resources I was using by browsing but have the download continue??

I can think of many reasons why this is bad, and no reasons why it is helpful that the download be tied to the browser

but maybe these use cases dont matter to you, so you should stick with windows

better yet an Ipad

I can guarantee you, this retarded map counts Linux as Android. Jeets are literally too low IQ to use Linux, let alone own a PC. They play Tekken on Android TVs ffs.

>Linux is just an app
So is Windows. All Windows is is a little app called WINE that gets automatically opened when I want to play some games.

At least I don't need to run a full blown VM, like you do to run Linux apps.
I love how Microsoft fought so hard against other OSs, but is being gradually forced into adopting Linux because of it's overwhelming industry relevance.
In the future, Windows will be nothing more than a Linux distro. The writing is on the wall.

Pipewire? macOS has been doing the equivalent of Pipewire for decades.

with WSL, windows is linux now.

>>105992647
multiple UIs are a Desktop Linux flaw

You want applications on Linux, there needs to be ONE UI standard as a base.

>>106008581
for the Mac, try Orbstack

Why would anyone ever bother with this stupid shit

>>106008626
what, WSL2? because you're cucked to use windows and need an alternative.
also WSL2 conveniently seems to be immune to corporate AV. kek

no need to ditch nt, wsl even support systemd.
