Thread 106231956

I fail to see a reason to make the switch. Hell, I asked a few IT nerds in cybersecurity and they just told me to stick to windows and don't bother with Linux.

Here's two big reasons:
No game compatibility, unless you tinker for 5 hours or use Steam and hope they made the game compatible
99% of companies still use Windows regardless, so its moot to use Linux and fucking up your layouts because programs like Word do not even align.

Appimages never worked for me

>>106231956 (OP)
Literally no said Linux is good only that's free and open source. Being good is not the point of linux. Linux can run like shit or extremely difficult to use and I'll still use it as my main os

>>106231956 (OP)

Game compatibility is WAAAAY better than it was even a year ago.

LibreOffice works fine.

As Microsoft becomes more & more Indian, Windows will naturally become more of a designated enshittifying street. It will put people off, it's not a matter of it, but when.

The EU is finally starting to move towards Linux, which is a good start.

>>106232056
How does antivirus work? Is it something you should trade bitcoins on?

>>106232031
I said it's good, though.

>>106232075

You don't need it. Linux is much more secure on its own. Antivirus only exists because Windows is such a large attack surface.

No one is actually talking about Linux with comments like this, they are talking about whatever autistic DE they've decided to use.
Linux is by far the most widely used OS on the planet

Linux has always been mediocre. If started off as s unix rip off. They can shove africans into microsoft and itd still be better than linux.

>Here's two big reasons:
I'm not a gaymer. Not my problem.
It works on my servers. If I need to write something is either as simple as an email or a document on LaTeX, both work on Linux.

I haven't used Windows in over a decade. You're just a bunch of childmen obsessed with video games.

>>106232194
Boring ass nigga
What do you do on your computer all day

>>106232330
Apart from work, watching videos (movies, TV series, anime), reading manga, listening to music, browsing forums.

>>106232194
I'm a gaymer and all my obscure shit works. Don't even need to tinker with winetricks 99% of the time. Just select proton ge instead of system wine and it'll run most likely.
I don't play live service slop though.

If corn is so good, why does government need to subsidize it for it to be viable to grow?

>BUT MUH GAMES
you don't even play good games to begin with. good games always work flawlessly in linux.

>>106232056
>Game compatibility is WAAAAY better than it was even a year ago.
I have 200 games and not a single one of them fail to run and very well. The single time I had issues was with Japanese VNs that ask for specific locale envs.
Linux has more games than all consoles available now. I regret buying a PS5 and a switch, should have saved to buy an even better GPU/

You know this means they think you're a fucking idiot, right?

>>106231956 (OP)
ok?
stay a retarded normie, we don't care.

>>106232031
It's good. And fairly easy to use.

>>106233141
You can set wine to use JA_JP env with `LC_ALL=ja_JP.SHIFT-JIS` (or something like that, cant remember the exact syntax), but it requires you have the Japanese locale enabled in Linux first. Still better than windows which either requires locale emulators that often don’t work, or to completely change your entire systems locale and turn all your backslashes into yen symbols.

The closest we are getting to Linux on the desktop are Steam Decks (proprietary gaming interface) and the Android-ChromeOS merger (Proprietary Google UI). Normalfags don't care about Gnome (which removed too many features) and KDE (which doesn't get as much debugging). I've come across people with degrees that still don't know what Linux is.

>>106231956 (OP)
If shit is shit... why do so many flies eat it?

>>106231966
install libfuse2

probably because the linux community has become an extension of the most disgusting 2% of humanity on the planet so nobody wants to invest their time and money into it

>>106231956 (OP)
Linux is retarded to its core. Like the home folder and all the folders in it. It's just anoying how stupidly named they are and are not easy to go through like in windows
Idk how regular Linux does disk but for the steam deck the memory stick isn't a separate entity in home or a second home folder, it's a folder inside 5 other folders with machine names. It's retatded

>>106232056
Modding is a issue man. As someone who primarily plays RPGs and mods them, it's so fucking difficult to get modding done on most games. For example I have no issues instaling GOG games on linux using lutris, it's honestly pretty flawless most of the time except for some small issues like for some reason VTMB with UP if you enable surround sound completely fucks up the sound on linux but it's fine on windows for my soundboard. But modding is just unbearably shit, trying to mod KotOR games for example is pain because TSLPatcher isn't case sensitive/insensitive like linux wants it to be so it just fucks everything up

>>106231956 (OP)
>>106232056
I don't understand why the Linux crowd doesn't fight tooth and nail to make gaming more compatible with the OS. Clearly, it's one of their major setbacks. If all games even obscure could be made compatible with Linux it would be HUGE.

>>106236599
Fight how? You can fight however you feel like but I'm fighting by only giving money to Linux compatible games. No Tux, no bux. I'm not going to walk circles outside a game studio with a sign in my hand yelling that I need everything right now. If they fail to make it run on Linux they fail to get my money. I'm not a cuck who crawls back to Windows if told to do so.

>IT nerds in cybersecurity
those are normie cucks or zogbots, you should disregard everything they say

>Game Compatiblity
Hasn't been true for a long time since gaben bankrolled proton

>99% of companies still use it
Yeah, it's how microsoft makes money, to have one foot in the normie world you should use windows.

>>106236559
Yeah you have to run the modding software in proton, you can't just drop the files because of the case issue linux has, learned that the hard way when I tried to mod oblivion the oldschool way.

I've torrented every single yakuza game from 0 to 7 and they've worked flawlessly without issues on linux, All I had to do was use proton experimental.

I always get a laugh imagining it's Logan spamming this to try and revive his dead channel but it's more likely to be some 15 year old jeet that has no idea who he is.

>>106232056
Can I play obscure furry porn games I downloaded off Itch.io?

>>106239881
Yes. By this point, I doubt anything but games with anticheat will have issues. There are also console emulators for everything non-PC. The older the game, the more likely it'll work flawlessly, so boomergamers will have a good time with Linux.

Frankly, by this point the only reason to stay with Windows is if you need Windows-only software for your job. For example, say you are a civil engineer and need to use Civil 3D, or you are a mechanical engineer and need to use Solidworks. This stuff is painful to run in a VM, so if you need them, you'll want a Windows machine.

But otherwise, it just works.

Correct and very wise post regarding jeet shitquilibrium.
Any system of Indians will naturally turn their environment to shit because their natural equilibrium is shit. This applies to both physical and digital space. Thus, if you take a well functioning organization, and then replace all the people who make it up with jeets, it'll turn to shit inevitably after some time. This is jeet shitquilibrium.
It's funny that they brag about "taking over", but when you look at everything they're in charge of, it's all shit, or it's turning to shit, they just haven't had enough time to reach their natural equilibrium.
Jeets, as a race, are much like the mythical King Midas, but rather than everything they touch turning to gold, it all turns to shit.

not regarding the point youre making, but they told you this bc they know youre a dumbass and the second something went wrong youd run to the people who said switching is a good idea

I asked this about VP9 for movies and everyone got mad at me

>if linux is so good
It's not. You can't even disable auto arrange files in a folder like you can do on windows 10

>>106241846
>it cannot even do *insert stupid_shit*

Dual booting is the easiest shit ever especially if you keep the installations on separate drives and choose with the bios, foolproof

>>106231956 (OP)
literally everything just works, also stop running proprietary shitware games and grow up.

good question, germany closed all of their nuclear power plants just to bulldoze 400 year old villages and dig up the shittiest sootiest coal imaginable, very environmentally friendly and safe!

office as a whole is pretty retarded if you actually sit down for 30 minutes and learn LaTeX and/or GNU octave.
>>106232075
use your brain. don't run random proprietary malware like your "kernel anticheat" CCP spyware, especially don't run random shit as root, and you'll be fine. if you're worried you shouldn't run any proprietary software at all (that includes windows, because windows is literally malware at this point), and you should sandbox your shit. (i.e. make a chroot or just another unprivileged user)

>>106241949
the funny thing is that "anti"viruses behave exactly like malware themselves, which is why they often flag each other as malware, because THEY ARE.
windows is malware, your proprietary intel ME backdoored UEFI firmware is malware, your proprietary GPU drivers are malware, your games are malware, and all the proprietary shitware you probably have to put up with daily is also malware.
try decompiling and recompiling (or simply repacking) random proprietary software made by big tech companies that gets whitelisted by antiviruses, just change the signatures and keep the code 1:1 the same, most antiviruses will lose their shit because THEY ARE malware, all of that shit just gets whitelisted because its made by big tech companies, and malware written by them is suddenly okay.
