Stop saying people don't use desktop Linux because it's hard.It's not.It's buggy, unreliable and unpolished.That's why people are not using it.
>>102475437Can't wait for the baby duck cope.
>>102475437Yeah but so is macOS. I've used it and it's not as good as the shills make it out to be.
>>102475437>Linux is hardit really isn't and that's a good thing
>>102475437>It's buggy, unreliable and unpolished.So is Windows.
>>102475470Agree.But it's still better than anything out there, especially since Microsoft started fucking with Windows for no good reason.
Computing in general is imperfect. Linux has a noticeably higher number of problems but it's not like using any other operating system guarantees smooth sailing
OP is a faggot with nothing better to do with xer life, an hero can't come quick enough.
>>102475437>Buggy, unreliable, unpolishedThat doesn't mean difficult to anyone that is paying attention. However when dealing with normies you have to understand that if the OS isn't limiting their choices to 2 options it becomes "too hard" for them. This is why Apple products are absolute garbage. There is only 1 or 2 ways to do things and the OS governs how you complete your tasks.Windblows at least allows for a lot of different ways to do things so you can get things accomplished the way you like to. The only thing about them is they want to spyhard on you. People love windows and a lot of us would too, if it weren't for the spyware
>>102475437Works on my machine.
>>102475525>spyware memeNo one cares what porn you jerk off to in your basement.
>>102475543If no one cares then why is advertising becoming a trillion Dollar industry?
>>102475542But since you're on /g/ you most likely don't do anything.
Works on my machine
>>102475499I just really dislike the choice of package managers. They're all either mediocre or have too small of a community. Some examples:>brewretarded beer terminologychanges ownership of it's installation folder (/usr/local shouldn't be owned by your user)UNFATHOMABLY SLOW>macportspackages SEVERLY out of date in some casesnot much faster>pkgsrcnot enough packagesno mac-specific stuff (e.g. pinentry-mac)

>>102475437The only barrier is literally laziness.
>>102475437They already have an OS if you want to be a productive coder. Linux users don't want that, they want attention on identity and being intrinsically special instead of their accomplishments, and the worst offenders pick FreeBSD.

>>102475437don't use shitty gnome or tryhard kde and you'll be fine
>>102475748use just works gnome
>>102475759sure if you're gay and you think you're pc should work like a phone
>>102475786>you're pc should work like a phoneyour
The price of control is responsability.
>>102475437I went from Fedora kde to Windows 11 pro and immediately noticed videos like on youtube or twitch are more fluid in windows. I spend a lot of time watching streams and videos so that on its own will have me stay on Windows 11. I still like that Linux is being developped and eventually, hopefully they'll fix this or improve ffmpeg so the experience is better.
>>102475786it's *your btw I use GNOME btw
>>102475437>It's buggy, unreliable and unpolishedthat only applies when you're trying to rice your setups with weird shit and larpi'm on gentoo and i'll admit its buggy, but when running native linux software instead of trying to use compatibility layers for windows shit it runs better than windowswhen i try to treat it like windows and run windows programs through proton or straight up just a VM through qemu, it pisses itself because of some weird drivers issues (its an older computer though)just use your generic DE, and generic easy to setup distro, with stock standard options that automatically detect all the shit you need, and you'll have no issues at alland i could do that aswell, but im human waste that wants to do shit the hard way
>>102475842if you used normal hardware not outdated garbage you would notice that things run better including games through translation layers
>>102475437Long time windows user here. Can confirm. I don't use Linux because it is buggy, unreliable and unpolished.
>>102475437Win+WSL2 will be the comfiest combo if Microsoft can iron out the bugs.
>>102475718I just use Linux because I hate automatic updates man.
>>102475437 i'm making a new gimp plugin for the 80 something time
>>102475437and bloated as much as windows 11/10
>>102475437it's a little bit buggy but the advantages outweigh the minor problems
