Linux only has 8 LGBT people in the whole world without any LGBT related things anywhere. I am trans and will never use facist nazi Linux ever. Fuck your Luke and fuck your Pewdiepie. I am also jobless so I don't mind tinkering with regedit, debloat and activation scripts, ESU, LTSC, group policy, task manager, powershell/cmd, fixing broken updates and I don't care about +30 thousand new CVEs and bugs every month. I only use Autocad and Photoshop so I have to have Windows 7 where those don't work because maybe I need them some day.

>>106896369>every program has to be on the system partition because of Linux's rigid file structure. Meaning I have to start over everything I I decide to nuke the distro. It completely renders extra drives and partitions useless because I can't install games on it. Not every game has a portable torrent I can use. Also, I want executables, and to not have to write a whole ass screen of code just to play Lula 3D
>>106896429>clearly the corporations know best for meIt's downright frightening that people like this actually exist.
>>106896460You could probably set something up with symlinks and shit, im too dumb for that. Personally the only programs so big i had to store in a different hard drive were movies or videogames. Which you can do on Linux.Also with lutris it's very easy to do executables for windows. But again, if you don't want that friction it's fair

>>106896644>sound perfectly doableI call them out because there is “sound” and then there is “are.” I have a solution in front of me that is already perfectly doable. I do not need to figure out what the solution would be in Linux.A Linux user might say, “just have your phone next to you and pick it up. Why do you need your computer to do it?” The answer to them is “you’re right, you don’t,” but once you have it you expect it. Since OP is asking for specific reasons why I won’t use Linux, my examples highlight Linux as an OS looking for a problem to solve within my jurisdiction. There really is no “true” OS to switch to. They all have their pros and cons. To me, understanding their various quirks is more productive than isolating myself to Linux and its distros exclusively.>pic related, standard Linux distro
>>106896646>art programKrita is cool>icons in file picker??? Works on my machine
I'd have also said video games, but on the contrary,valve continuously kowtowing to the demands of payment processors made me sick and ashamed of ever supporting them through the bigger titles
>onedriveJust dont want to interrupt my workflow. I love my linux vms, but just dont want to mess with my data.Windows docker desktop almost broke the camels back but i got it to run cross platform with pythonGetting tired of my 2 core laptop getting hammered by onedrive though.
>>106896714To add to this there are a couple things Linux is great for:> Getting your files out of a failing Windows Installation partition with nothing more than a Live Boot USB> Running really old hardware like it’s close to new> Avoiding corporate ads (OneDrive, Copilot, etc.)I put Mint on a dying Toshiba P770 once and was surprised by Linux’s superior touchpad driver. It was better than the OEM driver.

>>106896460you mount different partitions (or even drives) where you want them. Theres fstab flags for ordering mount orderFirst time you do that you probably have to chown ownership to yourself but never after thatIts like mounting the D drive in a folder in C so its a confusing thing coming from windows but hell I have an entire drive dedicated to steam games mounted in my home folder which itself is a different partition and its way more flexible when you get a grip on it
>>106896865nofail else systemd will crash cause an fstab item is missing one day
Nothing at the moment. For years I was developing Windows software so I used Windows.
I'm on Linux at least 95% of the time but what's stopping me from nuking my Windows LTSC partition is my pragmatism - some shit either takes too much effort to make work on Linux, some shit straight up doesn't work. I know I can spend hours trying to get things to work and that I may or may not succeed, but I also know I can just restart, boot into Windows for that one thing I know will just work.
>>106896865>you mount different partitions (or even drives) where you want them. Theres fstab flags for ordering mount order>you have to mount a separate physical drive in a folder inside of the OS drive in order to use it.This is mental instability, Anon. It truly boggles the mind how you morons expect wider linux adoption.

>>106896369My main personal machine is still Windows (10) because I have a 2080ti and I'm told Nvidia Linux support is still quite shit.I run Fedora on a work igpu-only Intel machine and Bazzite on an AMD APU gaming HTPC, and those both work great.
>>106896369I'm not into that sort of stuff but have you looked into two tail launcher? Also gog has games like that. Or do you just mean ren,py games? Those work you know...And winboat that other thing. You're welcome
>>106896396lol noit just breaks differently
>>106896369That video games are controlled by Valve Corporation under Proton and they refuse to release the library for having open source Proton for others to create. People stop calling it open source if you can’t run Proton without Steam Client. No, Wine and other software aren’t good enough to use if I still have to use Steam to download the games.
>>106897447https://github.com/ValveSoftware/ProtonLooks pretty open source to me.
>>106896369have you tried wine unironically it works very well nowadays, just install dxvk first which involves copying 2 dll files
>>106897456>iTs OpEn SoURceCan’t use it without Steam Client as it states in the readme file. Valve Corporation refuses to release the library files that contains Proton calibrations. Does not support new features people have been asking like Nvida ray tracing. Unnecessary ram usage because of Steam Client. Force to make an account to use Proton.It’s not open source.
>>106897087yeah its not intuitive to windows users so I get it, but it really opens up when you can seamlessly just have a bunch of drives in places without having to put a bunch of links or directing programs to like the D driveLike steam isnt even aware I have a different drive, none of my shit cares my home folder is its own partition. It knows what paths are at stuff and gives 0 shit how its mountedYou set it up and you just have more space, no working around it like constantly telling programs to save to D instead of Cor dont and just mount new drives in /mnt and you get the same windows workflow

>>106897701there are different desktop environments. I thought the same until I tried KDE, which feels pretty close to windows and macos for me
>>106896369The fact that linux uses one dependency for all packages, meaning if one maintainer decides not to give a shit, a lot of software will stop working. I want a distro like Arch but with multiple dependencies so when a software needs it it can use it. This is backwards compatibility and no Linux distro has it, which is just silly. It's not a serious operating system without it.

>>106897687same was as windows, just pick a location you want it atFor me its in my home folder but its arbitrary. If its like doom or w/e that you can actually get off a package manager it’ll go into the linux equivalent of program files but its kinda rare since most games arent open source. The standard is to dump those kinda programs in /opt but its your choice Like the big thing is how little linux gives a shit about devices on a user level, it just knows paths and files, there is 0 fucking with drive letters or fixing installs if you move shit and some registry entry has an aneurism, or a your links are broken now. Maybe not enough to stop using windows over but I like the linux approach better overall
>>106897721Yeah because Windows 12 will have Linux Kernel.
>>106897727>filteredYou're gonna format your C drive and format every other drive while you're at it as well because they're treated as one.Troontards need to rope.

>MSI Afterburner and especially RTSSI know there are similar programs for Linux but none that work on a driver level with Nshittia.I'll use 10 LTSC IoT for now and if 12 is garbage as well probably switch to Linux then.
>>106896369>>106896369windoze just works.also windows is backed by one of the biggest companies in the world and nearly all developers support this OS because it has the highest market sharemeanwhile linux desktop experience is maintained by people doing it basically for free and app developers don't really care about an OS that has a laughable market share and a bajillion of variations (distributions) when with windows you have versions 10 and 11 which are not really any different from a dev's perspective
>>106897818I can’t believe your faggot ass is concerned about it. I work a 9-5 and my MacBook was paid for by work. I bought myself a cheaper model for shits and giggles with savings interest so that was free too.Aren’t you supposed to be playing Battlefield 6 right now, edgelord?

>>106896369Lazy nezumi.No I don't care if Krita has a stabilizer we use it for its scripting abilities and the fact it can apply stabilizing to -any- program; not just constrained within a singular art program.(i'm an animator).
The fact the system design was deprecated before the implementation even began.All the complaints the Unix authors had with Unix itself resonate with me.It's a great first attempt at a general purpose operating system in the 70s but was already superseded by the 90s when Linux began. It's now 2025 and I have to conform to these standards when trying to develop the system. When you consider alternatives it just feels like an incredible waste of time and effort to target POSIX, let alone use Linux.

>>106896369What SPECIFICALLY makes you encourage braindead normalfags to contaminate my special Linux world? Literally WHO can be so retarded to trivialize the good stuff. The internet is shit exactly because tons of normalfags flooded the cyberspace with their fucking smartphones. Do you want MORE of that you fucking retard?
>File Explorer!!!!!!!!!!!!!>Control Panel>Taskbar (Funny that these three are the same exe)>Install WizardsWindows 11's, Mac, and all WM's or DE's on linux are garbage so I'm using MAS to get those 3 year ESUs and staying on Win10Pro as long as possible

just get two ssds to run linux and windows. all problems solved
>>106899215who stops you from using xlibre?
>>106896369I can play all the eroge with linux, don't know what your problem is specifically but it's likely that you just don't know how linux works>paintoh this is a troll thread
>>106896460That's simply not true at all
Poor scaling options.
>>106900450>All relay to Valve Corporation, there is no actual way without Valve Corporation.Even if this were true (It's not), who the fuck cares?Valve's incentives are aligned with yours. They want you to be able to play games on Linux. They built a hardware platform that completely relies on that technology to function, and be economically viable.And are you really arguing about this in a fucking thread about "why not Linux" of all places?What sort of retarded reasoning is that> I don't like that Valve's project that has made it so nearly all games work on Linux doesn't perfectly fit my contrived model of what open source ought to be. So instead I'll keep taking it up the ass from Microsoft and use Windows.That's got to be the most schizo take I've ever seen.

>>106896369>clip studio paintTry FireAlpaca.https://firealpaca.com/
>>106903169>he thinks csp is ms paintSo we're both retarded
My own ability to solve problems. >just google itI do and then I'll try copypasting the solution but it doesnt work for whatever reason and eventually i give up and just reinstall windows where everything I want to work just works.
>>106896369What does clip studio do that Krita doesn't?
>>106896369It does not do anything better than Windows for the purposes which my Windows machine is used for (gayming and casual web browsing).
>>106896369>what SPECIFICALLY is keeping you from switching to linux.every single person i have ever seen use linux or advertise linus uses it in ways i dont or dont care about or just makes a cool desktop to look atanother reason is its always "if you do xyz it works just like windows" or "ok well sure YOUR favorite program doesnt work but there is a similar one :)"well im already using windows so, like a vegan advertising "impossible beef" its "just like real beef" ok well i can just eat beef tho?so its like well, windows isnt advertised to me, its just the default and obviously everything that is on pc works on windows, there are no questions and the things i want to use it for it works perfectly without thinking about anythingand there is no windows ++ there is just windows, everyone is on the same platformalso there is a huge "well linux xyz is SOOOO light weight!" ok well im not using a thinkpad from 2006 so "performance" is irrelevant to me.that could have been an argument in well 2006 but it just isnt now.if windows ever goes subscription onlylike its literally impossible to use windows at all without paying $15 a month and you cant go to an earlier windows because Microsoft forces all developers to remove support for earlier OS then i would probably move to linuxbut there is also i chance i just sell all my pc/android stuff and go full mac/ios.im sure faggots here will screech for 500 hours about how its an even worse ecosystem but compared to the yearly bullshit i deal with with pc/android it seems more conducive to a simpler more relaxed life.but mac is even less of a fully fledged gaming platform than linux was a decade ago.so it would have to be console + mac and THAT would be cancer.

My old ass macbook refuses to die and linux would severely degrade its trackpad, battery life, and ability to sleep. If not for those problems I would use linux.>>106899919He's not lying. On certain devices, for certain tasks, Linux really does just werk.>>106896384>>106896405>>106896635>>106898344Stop being fags

>>106904173It isn't a bailout. It's an investment. Argentina's new Free Market policies are set to make Argentina the strongest economy in South America. Once again TRUMP cannot do wrong. He is the Dealmaker in Chief.

>>106896384what? what the fuck, you people are even more retarded than i tought
>>106897865>AI nativehahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>106904228Correct.
>>106900338try to install a linux game on windows, bet you would gave up and reinstall linux, your example is retarded because only retarded things can be derived from a fucking retard
>>106903613>No it’s not true that the only library in Proton is lockdown to a Corporation like Valve.There literally is no option to download the library. Stop declaring things that aren’t true.If they wanted people to play on Linux they should’ve promoted native Linux apps and actually supported Linux OS. Not a few or exclusive OS like SteamOS that just track your activity.It’s not their hardware, the Steam Deck is a piece of junk from China with build in AMD, doesn’t support Nvida, no intel and no Snapdragon. A laptop HP can run better Linux then the Steam Deck, if something like HP can do better than Steam Deck is a disaster.They are lying about open source. Proton library (not open source). SteamOS (not open source). Steam from Chromium open source (not open source).Wake up steamie.
>>106904412Excellent. Now explain why I'm supposed to care about any of this.
>>106897087Why is it difficult? My dead grandmother has been mounting drives into the file system root for at least two centuries. If an undead grandma can do it, don't you feel like a complete and utter moron for being such a baby?
>>106896646Krita is really good. Dave Rapoza has been using it for 2-3 years.

For personal use? Nothing. I'm already a big fan of FOSS programs like LibreOffice, Octave, and KiCAD. Arduino IDE and ST-Link run on Linux just fine.For school? Probably just Microsoft 365 (formerly Office), but then again, Google Docs can do most of the work Microsoft Office can. Some of my instructors have given me permission to use FreeCAD instead of Siemens NX/Autodesk Inventor, so there's that.For work? Practically everything at work runs on Mac OS X, so almost nothing. Occasionally we got a few devices here and there that interface with a program that need a computer that runs Windows, but we already got a special computer just for that.I've been working over the last year on persuading my boss to adopt Linux, but he's adamant in his belief that Mac OS X just works and that anything else, even Windows, is "too complicated" to work with.
>>106904465>I don’t care about corporate lying to my face for profitThey not only lied about open source but by continuing to support Valve Corporation, you also help them do illegal business. They committed fraud on Australia customers for not offering refunds. They lied to German government about ownership. They are liable for stealing patent from small businesses in the USA. Lied about adult games when credit cards demanded the removal.This is the company you’re referring to. This is the corporate business you are supporting.
>>106896369Pretty much the only caveat I see here is creative suites like Adobe and Autodesk. But even then Maya runs on Linux and Adobe is facing lots of competition for photoshop, for drawing at least Krita is amazing. Say it with me, the year of the Linux desktop is slowly approaching.
>>106904638Oh no. Anyway, gotta go check out some new video games on steam.

I want the OS to get out of my way and let me do my shit, not suck up a bunch of my time figuring shit out.I'll probably shift over to Mac if Windows becomes unbearable.
>>106896369>clip studio paintKrita, FireAlpaca, Paintstorm Studio>porn gamesProton.
>>106905657Krita is shit and basically the GIMP equivalent of art programs. Firealpaca is too basic. CSP just werks for 99% of people who actually want to draw in any meaningful capacity, and the fact that there's no native Linux distribution of it is frankly retarded. But then again, maybe the devs just don't give a shit about Linux just like how Adobe couldn't care less about it.
