Thread 107113421

It's actually the year of the Linux desktop.

>>107113421 (OP)
Linux will never be a proper desktop OS.

>>107113432
Proper in what sense, Mr. Anon?

>>107113432
Hu ho

looks like absolute shit
you do nothing but dilate lintranny

>>107113421 (OP)
Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love Linux, but if Microsoft didn't enshitifiy Windows10 and 11 which is worse than 10, if Microsoft didn't screw up Windows11 then Linux would not be getting the extra attention lately

At the end of the day I am glad Microsoft has screwed up because it opened the door wider for more Windows users to consider switching to Linux

>still no iStripper support
what's the point?

>>107113432
There is nothing that I as a desktop user want or need to do that I cannot do with linux. Not a single god damn thing. In fact, I have WAY MORE options and things I can do after switching.

Microsoft does not and will never care about the desktop user experience. They do not care about their customers, they only want to extract as much data from them as possible. Once you realize this everything they do makes sense. Sure you can fiddle and tinker with windows to remove as much telemetry as you can find but you will always be fighting against your entire OS and have to be on constant guard after EVERY FUCKING UPDATE because the entire infrastructure and purpose of the operating system is spying on you.

>>107113432
Cope, sandderp. It already is and it works better than cuckdows 11.

I tried installing windows 11 on my old laptop. I really did it with an open mind. Holy fuck what a fucking shit show. Went on this fucking earth does it take 1 how old "updating" stuff?? And even when you finally make it to the desktop, if you restart, it gets stuck in "updates are underway" and just days there until you hard reset it. Then there's the fans running loud as jet engines (which never happened with w10). Everything is laggy, the UI is absolute garbage, the start menu and settings app are even more convoluted and hard to read than before. And the sheer hostility towards the user... Everything feels like "you can't do that because we say so" your settings get reset, your choices get changed back to default.
Im absolutely baffled. How can you make it this bad? W10 was already ass, there wasn't anything bellow it but ms found a way to dig even deeper. They copied KDE and GNOME's UI but for the worst... Wtf.

Cool for you, but I'll stick with my Windows 11 debloated where I enjoy a better compatibility across my games and software with better performance and way less bugs.

I am a linux user, you black macfag, and I know for a fact you are lying. Name one autocad equivalent. Name one lightroom replacement. Show me how to run Cisco packet tracer on Arch or Fedora. Install neofetch (impossible, deprecated). There are no video editors except Kdenlive and Blender, fucking Blender, the 3D modeling program. And how, pray tell, can you use multiple versions of a program, simultaniously without virtual machines? Tell me, nigger, does latte dock still work on your machine after the plasma 6 rapedate?

>>107114034
Nta, but that's delusional. There's no good alternative to AutoCAD, Solidworks, or the Adobe suite. Even fucking Calc still hasn't reached feature parity with Excel.

Huawei is releasing fully Chinese computers (cpu, hardware, etc) and using a linux OS. They're selling them outside of China, too.

Anyone in BRICS-world should be using Linux.

im so sorry for them :(

Windows is way better and everything just works, installing drivers is few simple clicks, unlike linux where you must tinker in some 80s style command prompt like some sawage.

In the year of our Lord 2025 we either click or touch, anything else means nobody will use it

>>107114239
>the wincuck makes us suffer due to his dunning-krugger effect
many such cases, sad

kek, 10/10, close to a perfect meme

Linux couldn't even surpass Vista or 8 on release. Windows will survive 11.

>>107113587
Absolute cope in this post.
Dont you have some dahl with shit on the side to consume?

>>107113421 (OP)
i actually legitimately gave linux a try when win 10 support ended. i went with the most windows like shit i could find, which was zorinOS. Appealed to me because rather than being built around kde plasma, which is already windows like, it used a heavily modified GNOME desktop which has tighter integrations with accounts and shit which i thought was cool. Booted it up, installed, played around, tried to set up my fingerprint reader for log in on my laptop, and found out it has no such support out of the box.

no big deal i thought right? i'll just google how to fix that, and turns out there's no real fix for it and if any of the supposed fixes listed on some random reddit post which requires you to go into terminal and copy paste some code to actually get it to work, doesn't work, then now i'm the problem and the new solution is "lmao just don't use it then linux is great"

so i installed windows 11 instead and it worked perfectly out of the box.

>>107114034
Im inclined to agree with you but auto desk, solidworks and fusion 360. In fact any of the other larger CAD/CAM drafting programs puts freecad and other browser based derivatives to shame.
Its not even a competition anon. This is one of the few cases linux users are incorrect. You have fun taking months to design your project in freecad, ill be done by friday.
Its the only time ill use windows, and even then itll be some fucked up form of it likewin 10 ghost spectre in a totally offline format.so i can use a pirated 8 year old version of solidworks thats still leagues more efficient than any drafting program linux offers.

>>107114469
Im sorry that goodix is kiked anon

>>107114255
seriously, buddy. The 80s command prompt is why nobody is using linux. Android got rid of it completely, why cant desktop linux? The only usable linux would be linux where you even cant run the command prompt, where it is impossible to even start it - that would force developers to make real working user friendly linux. So far it is very unfriendly, yeah some Mint distro where you just open web browser and thats it is kinda user friendly. But i want what my Windows(11 with latest updates) is doing, new AMD driver? just download,click,click,done.. can loonix do that? Or do i have to do some command prompt wizardry where nobody even knows the commands(certainly not normal user who does not have time for that bullshit)

>>107114649
you're not using command prompt, you're copypasting shit to it at worst if you've picked a newbie distro like bazzite or mint and you're only using it if you need a specific more advanced function

>>107114035
If I was a jeet I'd actually like browndows 11. Don't you think?

>>107114649
>can loonix do that?

>updates are available, click here
>do you want to install them? (y/n)
>enter root password
and it's fucking done

>>107114469
this is exactly why nobody uses loonix, basic stuff works, but if you want something else you would have to study it for weeks and years on the internet to find out how to do it

BITCH NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THAT SHIT, I JUST WANT TO CLICK, CLICK, DONE...FINISHED!!

>>107113432
If Windows is what a "desktop OS" is supposed to be then I don't want Linux to ever be a proper desktop OS lmfao

By golly just stop using Windows already. Why do you have so much stockholm syndrome? Nigger Nutella won't come to your house and murder you if you don't use it.
Move on, there's a lot of OS alternatives to Window, not just Linux. Even an iPad with a keyboard is light years ahead in usability and stability than Windows. Macs are good too if you need those "professional software" programs not available anywhere else. Linux is great if you don't want to spend money and configure your shit to your liking.
Just stop using Windows. Try it and see how silly you were for accepting sanderpsoft dick all these years.

>>107114649
Literal kids can use command prompts(ie. minecraft's command line), why do so many adults like this anon throw an absolute shitfits at the mere sight of one?

Not linux's fault that whatever company makes your fingerprint reader didn't produce drivers for it, or have an open standard for its drivers

It's been Year of the Linux Desktop for 10 years now, things are great! What you retards want is for a bunch of grain-fed niggercattle to use it. Have you forgotten what happened when we let them on the Internet?
Linux is in the sweetspot of popular enough for good support but niche enough to keep out normalfags.

What an ugly gnome mod, which is something, since guhmome looks like shit to begin with. Quite a feat, I'll say.

>>107114725
Something that "just works" and runs all the software you need? Yeah to be honest, I can see why a lintard wouldn't want that. They prefer to turn everything into a struggle, fooling themselves into extracting value from their false productivity, there's always one more thing to fiddle with, so that the elusive use case for real work is always deferred, kept at arms length, used as an excuse to justify more configuring, but never a destination intended to be reached; for getting there would shatter the illusion of the perfect desktop. Still, he tinkers.

This reminds me of someone who reads books on fighting, convinces himself he's a martial artist, but would never dare get in a real fight for that would instantly expose his fraud.

>>107114741
You know people outside India have multiple computers, right?

>>107115204
>too stupid to learn a different DE
Usually the reason people reject linux is lack of software, not an inability to use it. We see users moving between Windows/Mac/iOS/Android with ease. The ability to operate linux isn't as special as you'd like it to be.
>expertise is learning to navigate windows
You're exposing your own surface level understanding with that comment. Read the sysinternals books, Windows is an incredibly deep operating system beneath the simple veneer.

>They prefer to turn everything into a struggle,
Modern linux is about as much of a struggle as using windows 7, which is to say it is not. Unless you specifically gun for barebones distros.

>>107115665
Linux has never been a struggle, windows just really streamlined ease of use for retards over the years to the point they can avoid opening up any form of command line interface on it now.

>>107115319
software thing is valid and it can be resolved by just dual booting for things that aren't on linux yet
the other shit though? no, retards just get an overinflated sense of self and think they're smarter than they actually are so they ignore the retard friendly distros like bazzite and mint

Sure hope /g/ isn’t as retarded as /pol/ when it comes to seeing the glow for what it is

>>107115760
Dual booting probably takes too much technical skill for people who barely know what an OS is to begin with(aka most people).
All this OS popularity slap fight really ignores that outside of autists on taiwanese basketweaving forums people hardly know jack about what is on their computer. They use what OS comes with it, which for pc 90% of the times is windows, and dont change. That simple.

>>107115870
if you can install linux you can dual boot, it takes the same amount of competence
>They use what OS comes with it, which for pc 90% of the times is windows, and dont change.
that's why i mentioned wintards getting their egos pumped by using windows at the surface level for years and thinking they're hot shit and destroyed by linux since all they ever knew was using the windows desktop environment

>>107115895
>it takes the same amount of competence
It absolutely doesn't. You see posts on here all the time about retards who fucked one partition or the other by doing shit they did not understand.

>>107115946
you can make one in the installer and you get asked which you want to use every boot
maybe fucking them up is easy but accessing the other's partition is guarded by needing to enter root by default with those babby distros

>>107113421 (OP)
The problem is that most people aren't comfortable installing their own operating system. If they get tired of their computer they will just go to the store and buy a new one and almost all of them for sale will either be Windows PCs or Macs. Prebuilts in stores are an important key to Linux's success.

>>107115870
>Dual booting probably takes too much technical skill for people who barely know what an OS is to begin with(aka most people).
This is /g/. Anyone with enough knowledge to build their own pc or swap out their SSD or whatever (aka not most people, but anyone with an interest in tech/computers) can figure out how to set up dual boot easily.
