>>108564309>I switched to linux for the 2 things linux is notoriously bad atWhatever happened to just using what works best for you
>>108564314It's not 2012 anymore.
>>108564314gaming has been great since i switched, no i don't exclusively play games from 1999. takes some tinkering with some titles but most of the time there is very little setup. also got pre-AI bloat ps installed, photoshop 2021. it's a tiny bit slower than usual from time to time so that may annoy power users but other than that it works flawlessly.
>>108564314Linux is mostly good at gayming>>108564335There's a lot of tools related to production besides Photoshop that have no alternative worth a shit. Clip Studio Paint has essentially nothing. Darktable is nowhere as intuitive as Lightroom. Some people do use these.
>>108564314I don't know chief, games new and old run fine on my setup.
>>108564314>the 2 things linux is notoriously bad atpre-2017, sure gaming was a struggle.the games themselves run the same or better on linux than windows at this point due to all the extra bloatware that comes with window$.the only hurdle is anti-cheat which isn't a linux problem but the anti-cheat willing to support linux.Easy Anti-Cheat has a check box on the dev's end to enable Linux.kernel level (lmaooooo) anti-cheats like Riot Games' Vanguard are not going to be supported, nor should you want this on your machine no matter what OS you use.
>>108564309The year of the linux desktop was a mistake.
>promoting linux needs to stopOn the one hand, we've seen in our lifetimes what happens if good things aren't gatekept, but are Linux developers motivated enough to enshitify Linux based on a new wave of normie critique? While software is still getting regular updates, for the most part things feel pretty stagnant.
>>108564372>There's a lot of tools related to production besides Photoshop that have no alternative worth a shit. Clip Studio Paint has essentially nothing. Darktable is nowhere as intuitive as Lightroom. Some people do use these.well i can't speak on that and you're probably right. i'm just saying the one that most people have a gripe with, and still think can't be used on linux, photoshop, can definitely be used on it.
>>108564309why linux getting all this attention lately? trans people going to win, but then again, bill pederast gaytes, master of vaccinations already won.its a loss loss situation.
>>108564448>trans people going to winthat's gonna happen in tech until a solar flare sends us back to the dark ages, may as well use the OS that doesn't put troon flags on your taskbar
>>108564309>be literal who>have tech issues because the tools you use are gimped thanks to of decades of market manipulation>need tech support because everything you use is, as a direct result, cucked and broken by design>have no friends who are tech literate enough to help>don't wanna ask SO>make 12 minute youtube video about itI am not going to watch this. These people need tec support, not an audience. I am so glad I am not recommended anything on youtube and that I host my own invidious instance to not deal with this nonsense.

I installed Arch today btw. It was easy as fuck why does everyone have such a hardon for it?
Yeah. Promote BSD instead
>>108564604>It was easy as fuck why does everyone have such a hardon for it?Answered your own question.
>>108564619Now try gentoo for an actual challenge and a time waster, or BSD from source (any flavor)
>>108564622I use Arch specifically because it doesn't waste my time. I can also tell you're larping hard if you're conflating every BSD "flavor".
>>108564613No need to promote it, macOS is already widely popular among artists.
>>108564634Sure I'm larping. Nothing in my post suggested me to be larping. Stop badgering me.>>108564638macos is not bsd, although it is a fork of bsd 4.4
>>108564646>the BSD fork with the largest market share>doesn't count because BSD people don't want it to countNot a particularly compelling reason. If they had wanted to have more control over what a BSD can be maybe they should have published it under a different license.
>>108564448Windows pushed too hard with 11, it's crossed a another invisible line of consumer abuse provoking people to seek alternatives. And Mac is expensive.
>>108564434even if they do, who caresthe normies will use slopOS, you'll use whatever you already use or switch to the alternative that'll always existI don't think anything will change though, it's still the same people developing OSSthis is an influx of slop people, not programmers who will get involved in developing the ecosystem
>>108564622>Now try gentoo for an actual challenge and a time wasternot really a challenge but a time waster? absolutely, in the most literal sense
