Linux is already miles ahead of windows on desktop. The only thing we need now is Linux gaining marketshare so first party drivers are also being developed for linux. This will improve support for laptops and phones and then finally winblows and jeetdroid will fall.

God please no. Loonix would be filled with even more wintards.

What do you mean? The open drivers for nvidia gpus are getting better everyday. As a matter of fact, arch switched to nvidia-open and nvidia-open-dkms a few days ago. They are not that far from the proprietary ones and the gap should close soon enough.

Vanguard doesn't supoprt it.
EAC doesn't support it.
Javelin doesn't support it.
Photoshop CC doesn't support it.
Premiere CC doesn't support it.
VEGAS doesn't support it.
FL Studio doesn't support it.
Denuvo doesn't support it 90% of the time.
No industry standard software that is up-to-date will ever support it.
90% of MP games will simply perma ban your account for being on GNU/+Linux (eg; like Apex Legends did).

All spyware and malware
You don't need all this
Linux is the free OS

You always post this and I always tell you to remove FL Studio from the list. Werks with WINE. Unless you mean a Native version of course.

>>107649373
>You don't need all this
Most of those programs have no decent alternatives.

>>107649391
Would a repack of Fl Studio 21 work? I tried one on my system but it got stuck at the demo song and I couldn’t interact with the UI

>>107649179
It won't make a difference. James Jones is still the man in charge and Linux will never have feature parity with windows.
Look at all the time nvidia put into replacing nvcpl on windows because they kept breaking dropdown boxes and couldn't disable one feature automatically upon enabling another, and revert it when turned off.
They went with nvidia app or whatever that garbage is.

There's no way linux will ever get the same treatment unless James Jones keels over.

At *best*, Linux will hit 7% market share in 2026. Hardly a dominating percentage

Not all distros. Ubuntu and some other distros are literally just linux for winfags

I'm putting together an air gap Windows box for all of my retro Gog games so I may as well just convert over to Linux for my main rig. Holy cow has Windows gotten bad but I'm pretty sure that Redmond just wants to exit the consumer space altogether

2025 already was the year of the Linux Desktop.

>>107649194
just send them to bazzite or mint

Linux is useless for office work, can't video edit, can't game due to VKD3D rendering issues, can't utilize AI or CUDA functionalities, can't stream, it's literally just a server OS. Linux on desktop was a funny meme back in 2006 but now it's just sad.

People need to wake up. Desktop Linux will never go over 10%

Must say I have to admire your optimism (delusion).

This. It's beachhead will definitely be secure especially with PC components becoming prohibitively expensive but it will not go inland.

i dont get it
whats with the weird cope that loonis will never be a dt os
people havent ditched wintra$h yet because theyre running w10
m$ft themselves are pivoting away from home desktop and into cloudshit
and its not a big problem to port a game from loonis to wintrash.
somewhat. dxshit can be a problem, its proprietary
everyone's gonna follow the money though

if users ditch wintra$h the rest will align
>but macos
no. you cant legally run macos on anything else than apple hardware
and if you still wanted to, its possible but youre not gonna have drivers for your stuff
last gpu supported by appo was rx 580 iirc

It's called "I've seen the lowest common denominator play out too many fuckin Goddamn times".

everything is relative
if wintrash will become shit enough that loonis will become the path of least resistance
thats where the lowest denominator will go
and sata nutella seems to be intent on doing just that

its unlikely but it can happen

It's embarrassing how many jeetrannies keep shilling microjeet winshit and saying stuff like "LTSC", "Debloat", "Disabled", "Privacy"...
stfu, thats cope, there is no real privacy on those "operating systems". And remember ""real"" /g/ bros: whenever you hear a jeet talking about ""Software"" they come in bad faith, people with a ""real"" job, already have a seperate machine. And those gaymers? They would even install hardware based anti cheat modules and have an always online connection and open their assholes for riot and ea. Play real fucking games... or, if you are addicted, get a fucking Ps5 for 300 bucks.
