Thread 106630946

Linux is not a desktop operating system.
There are two desktop use cases: 1. Home use 2. Business enterprise use
In both these cases linux falls short. In home use, software simply isn't available for many home use cases. Performance is abysmal. Permissions are confusing for laypeople. Etc. All of the server parts of the OS ruin the home user experience. In business use the OS fails to be able to interact with standard business software and groupware.

Linux is only useful for serving up web pages on the cheap, or selling web hosting on the cheap. Another use case, although very narrow, is computation in the strictest sense--render farms and data processing--both of which are NOT desktop uses.

In the use case of server, linux also falls short.
Filesharing uses the gimped out SAMBA which is inferior to plain old windows server with active directory. If you don't know why SAMBA is garbage then you don't have enough experience in the enterprise world.

What would you expect from a 40 year old design where the only innovation is copying other systems. (cups+samba, samba, open directory, kerberos, etc).

Linux isn't even useful as a platform for business communications--there is nothing on it like outlook server--and this is a dead basic requirement for the enterprise. There is no groupware, other than Lotus which is complete shit.

There is no unified authentication for remote users either. You're stuck with a mishmash or kerberos, opendirectory, or maybe even radius thrown in the mix. Totally unacceptable.

Most UNIX innovation was done on Solaris, and their best tools aren't even available on Linux --(dtrace and zfs)--and now that Linux has eaten solaris' lunch, expect no future unix innovation.

Every other use case is better served by a desktop OS.


Linux users-the cucks of computing.

Jumping thru 1000 hoops in hopes to get 'the prize' build up artificial knowledgebase on how to win. Consistently cucked by the industry.

low effort bait

This part is brutally true. Good post, but it will upset the cultists.

Haiku mogs this trooned out garbage.

90% of Linuxfags just code in gay programming languages like Python and Kotlin anyway, so what's the effin point of going out of your way to install a speshulboy Loonix distro if you're just gonna treat your computer like a fuckin Mac user would?

The point of running linux is to tell people you run linux. They think running an alt operating system confers status. Now some people may have particular reasons, but a lot of midwits find stupid ways to differentiate themselves with false accomplishments.

I use Linux at home and for work, on the desktop and as a server, and never ran into any of these issues.
Your idea of office computers is stuck in the 00s, maybe even the 90s. Everything is in the cloud old man.
You sound like a jaded old school Microsoft evangelist, bitter that the world has moved on

it's wrong to call people that deliberately use a worse option bad words
I wouldn't use lunix on a personal device, but we need people using it like that in order for proper commercial OS to not slack
same way I wouldn't pay with cash anywhere I can get rewards on my credit card, but I would try to avoid any places that are "card only" if it's convenient and I wouldn't call people using cash cucks
same thing about IDs
all those people need to be cherished in order for normal people not to suffer
US so far went to extreme lengths in order to allow all edge cases to work
you don't know how bad it is in shitty countries like russia where you gotta have an id just to travel between cities on a bus, this must be prevented if US is to survive

Can we be please rangeban India at this point? This is getting too tiresome at this point

I mean this is true, but you could have phrased this in a more constructive way

>>106630946 (OP)
You forgot the stolen code, the true OS is UNIX.

>>106630946 (OP)
Works on my machine.

You're the exception, not the rule.
Cultistfag. Don't slash your wrist over this.
