Thread 106389249

Desktop Linux sucks because there's basically no use case for it.
Why would anyone invest serious money and effort into polished desktop Linux experience?
Where is the potential return on investment?
There isn't one.

why spend time and money installing and running windows when i can do the same thing for free with linux?

To have a working computer without bullshit issues that shouldn't exist.

That's true OP, but we still need an alternative to windows in the PC world.

RHEL sells support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux at 328.90 USD per year; this is a reoccurring revenue stream.
>Where is the potential return on investment?
Contributing to an open source resource such as Desktop Linux, theoretically provides a higher ROI than a proprietary OS (such as windows/ macos) as the R&D of multiple businesses (RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu Pro) are invested independently to improve the overall ecosystem.

>inb4: linux is free!/ windows is a one time price!:
Linux and Windows are effectively subsided by businesses to make it so people can learn how to actually use the platforms outside of the workplace (i.e. schools get windows for free). Businesses need to pay for support plans and are willing to because when the tools they use to make money break they loose potential profits, i.e. when shit breaks they want it fixed ASAP.

Fact
Please stop using Linux, please please Windows can like, run games anon, please install windows please

until linux invests in providing photoshop-compatibility, it's a non-starter for me. Deeply unserious OS.
