how true is this /g/?

iCuck must be losing a lot of marketshare

>>106410739 (OP)
yes

>>106410739 (OP)
Very.
Desktop Linux is a giant waste of time for everyone involved. Even Linus himself gives 0 shit about it.

How the world should be

>>106410739 (OP)
Stop cropping the Windows guy

>>106410918
More like:
>normalfag gets stuff that just works and moves on with his life
>autist spergs out over technicalities, time passes, he still keeps "fixing" his broken freetard crap, eventually he dies without achieving anything during his pathetic life

>>106410964
You can seethe and cry over autists using software too complicated for you to use, but it won't make your purchasing decisions any better.

>>106410977
Complexity for no reason is waste you useless masochistic tard.

linux is an operating system
nobody who uses linux cares what distro you use
nobody who uses linux cares what DE you use
gimp has import/export support for cmyk, but currently editing is done in rgb. i'm not a professional image editor, but as far as i know this isn't a significant issue. gimp has for some time now supported 16bit-per-channel rgb so i'm sure colour precision isn't a major issue
it is not linux's problem your wifi isn't working. if you want to use linux, buy hardware that supports it, or add support yourself. the same goes for any os/hardware combination
use syncthing for automatic two-way file sync

>>106411036
why would you assume there's no reason? just because you don't understand the reason doesn't mean there isn't one

>>106410739 (OP)
>stop needing things
Unironically I reached linux zen by cutting off everything I don't need.
The problem with normalniggers is that they don't know what they want.

>>106410739 (OP)
tl;dr

>>106410739 (OP)
The right side is very untrue.
The left is true, though.

>>106411112
>why would you assume there's no reason?
Because there isn't one.
You're a programmer?
You buy a Mac and use Docker to run your Linux hosted apps.
Wasting time with desktop Linux and its retarded issues is for poorfag unemployed spergs who don't know any better.

No need for filesync or the official Microsoft 365 Copilot Bing AI Suit with Teams from the Skype series ™® when the only purpose of these is to open the retarded formats sent from management and marketing

>nice fucking cancer, fat retard

>>106410739 (OP)
Everything on the right works on linux fairly reasonably these days, the vast majority of games even work with wine/proton, the stuff that doesn't work is mostly because of aggressive anti-cheat

it's funny because the best argument people had about adopting linux (for the average consoomer) was le ebin privacy, which no longer holds true for most distros.

GOOD MORNING SIR!

Name the distros you think have privacy issues and detail what the issues are

>>106411483

>Stick to Arch or Debian or their main forks
Wouldn't recommend either of these to a beginner, and most of their main forks suck.
>Canonical is evil
Yes, but the real reason I'm not recommending their operating system is because I don't want to spent any extra time diagnosing their hardware problems because snap didn't work with something.
>Get Mint if you want Debian-based
Or Neon, or Pop, or anything else that's Ubuntu-based without the crap. Beginners want Ubuntu-based, not Debian-based, but not Ubuntu itself.
>not that DE
I've never used Cinnamon and wouldn't know what to do with it. I do have experience with KDE, GNOME, i3, MATE, XFCE, IceWM... but on Windows you get one choice. Any of them are fine. I can't imagine Cinnamon is different enough to make me care.
>You don't actually need to play PC games
You absolutely do, and we have them all.
>Photoshop
Yeah, but just get a Mac for that. Don't use Windows.
>Google workspace
If it works for you. I personally don't want a large corporation scanning my private documents and potentially banning my account because I wrote a short story about titties, but it's not like it doesn't work.
>The Windows guy
Windows is a relic of the past. Linux for most things and Mac for the rest of them.

Linux is not made for desktop users.
The OS, at a fundamental level, is made to manage mainframes and servers which users would login to via terminals.
