Thread 106482183

Why did desktop Linux fail?
25+ years of development and it still suffers from pretty much the same problems as back then...

Works on my machine

Because Linux (and freetards in general) is user hostile. Even the worst Windows is still better than the best Linux distro.

Does anyone else get business boners when they close a sale?

>>106482896
I don't work in sales.

Because there are hundreds of DEs and WMs. Effort that could have gone into one or two environments is split between hundreds. Add in forks increasing for ideological rather than technical or design reasons and you get even more fracturing.

>>106482950
Everything is sales. Getting girls, getting a job, pull requests, sharing an opinion, sending dick pics.

>>106483071
I don't do any of those things.

This is not entirely true.

X11/Wayland = garbage.
Pulseaudio/Pipewire = garbage.
LUKS = garbage.

Real programmers working on real software (that people pay for) ask themselves the following question, when coming up with solutions to technological problems:
>Is this solution good for 99% of people?
If the answer is yes, then that solution gets implemented, and it's THE solution to the problem.
however open-sirs, tinkertrannies, unemployed hobbyists and others who contribute to Linux ask themselves a different question:
>What if there is a specific type of retard (like me)?
And so another fork of a fork of a half-assed solution is created. Real consensus and general usability are not the concerns of open-sirs. Their solutions are not tailored to 99% of people. Their solutions are tailored to retards and autists. And that's why opensource software mostly sucks dick and forces you to fuck around with terminal to do even the most basic shit.

This isn't entirely true of Linux, it's more of a middle ground between Windows and Mac because it's ideologically not focusing on backwards compatibility in favor of modernizing the kernel and the libraries. Of course they still have to maintain some compatibility, but installing some old unmaintained package would be a pain because it will come in conflict with the rest of your system, at which point you'll have to manually dockerize it or something of that sort. Windows though? Most of the Windows 95 software still runs, although even Windows started killing off some of the older APIs now.

>>106484342
It's not "real programmers", as all programmers are autists like you described. "Real software for 99% of people" can only be written by for-profit companies because their incentive is money. Although on the other hand once they do have 99% of people using that software their incentive changes to squeezing out even more money out of them by making the software actively worse.

your pic answers your question: users are too retarded

>>106482183 (OP)
Watch some "testing 90s Linux" type videos. It's insane to think things haven't improved massively.

do you even boner?

How come some projects like Blender and Krita is great and others like Gimp sucks?

>>106482196
problem exists between ceyboard and chair

>>106484393
Truly an answer worthy of a delusional linuxoid.
>"THE USERS ARE TOO STOOPID!"
No, your hobbyOS requires constant fixing to provide basic functionality

Unix / Linux permissions is just a normie filter and will forever will be.

Typical Linux experience:

>Install application
>App creates folder structure
>Try to run app, gives error because it can't access something
>Look into it
>Find out it created a folder for itself that it DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO
>chown that motherfucker
>now it works

Can't even tell you how many times this happens in Linux. It will never be mainstreamed because of this. Ultimate tech filter: you MUST suffer to use it properly.

>>106482183 (OP)
It didn't. It has way more users than it did in 2000, and any lack of users has nothing to do with whatever problems you think it has. It's been working fine for me since 2000.

>>106484552
Sounds kinda gay

>>106482183 (OP)
Because it sucks.
Kubuntu asked me three times for my password in a timespan of 1 minute: once for log in, then for Kwallet and then to update the packages.
Guess how many times per day normalfags want to type their passwords? (Hint: it's a number less than or equal to zero)

>>106484866
>Linux sucks because passwords
Are you an actual retarded person?

>>106484902
What does my IQ have to do with Linux being an absolute piece of shit?

Nobody has a real interest in making desktop Linux succeed. People who make free software do it out of personal need or interest, which means they're going to make software which is adequate for their own use and that's where they stop. Nobody has a dedicated interest to make desktop Linux for the actual desktop computer users out there, nor does any coordinated group stand to really gain anything from it. Hence there is no real motivation beyond various people and groups tinkering with their own projects and as such the whole thing never quite works fully and completely and it's never quite fully polished or put together properly.
