>try Linux >Encounter problem on program I absolutely need that makes it unusable>No solution works >Reinstall Windows, never encounter the issue again Every single time I have used Linux this has been my experience
Linux is not for people that use their computer to actually do things. Its for people who live inside their computer.
like 0.01% of computer users are graphic designers who absolutely need the adobe suite, everything else has a Linux alternative except Fortnite. you people are just bum ass lazy niggers who refuse to learn a different program, I refuse to believe anyone here absolutely needs windows. krita is the best application for drawing and danvinci resolve is the best video editor there is

>>108847962>0.0100000%?
>>108847954>be me>An old graphic designer who dips their toes into Linux every once and a whileBoth of your programs listed are not vector graphics editors. Inkscape is probably the only decent free open source Illustrator competition. The only other real drawback to Linux for windows users is the office suite, which there are alternatives to as well like LibreOffice.At the end of the day, it's familiarity. If you could give a windows user a world in which every button was the same as the system they grew up with, most would gladly switch. The best use case I've found for Linux is extending the life of windows and apple machines that have reached their OS EOL. Linux realistically gives them another year or two. It's like going from PC to Mac, you have to re-learn everything
>>108847954What about all my VSTs doe
>>108848400Just kill yourself boomer faggot, you can't learn anything new only how to suck nigger dick. Microsoft baby duck thinks Linux is still only good for low end systems. Squash boomers heads in a vice grip.
>>108847954>like 0.01% of computer users are graphic designerssums up the reason posts like these are pointless. you people insist video editing and shit like that is "real work" when the only REAL work for like 95% of the population is documents and spreadsheets. and you can do those on linux, since ms suite is accessible through web, and natively libreoffice/onlyoffice would likely cover most people. programming is also very accessibleyou're just slightly more tech literate than a normie by nature of doing digital work (hence you being on 4chan at all) but too retarded to understand most people don't actually need the programs you're using
>>108847848>be a cuck and proud of it>post about it on 4chincool?
>>108847954Creatives moved to apple over a decade ago, grandpawindows is only for cad/cam and the odd vfx studio, but mostly at the backend

>>108847855>4chan is not for people that use their computer to actually do things. Its for people who live inside their computer.you are unproductive therefore your opinion is invalidproductive people are productive on any os. unproductive people are unproductive on any oseven if there was a higher percentage of unproductive linux users than unproductive windows users (which is impossible to measure but seems highly likely), correlation != causation
>>108848572>seems highly likelybut the opposite, linux is used most by programmers/server admins
>be deliberately vague>obvious shitpost becomes obvious
>>108847848>>108847954It's pretty wild how easily people can overlook the palpable lack of any functional software on Linux. If all you want to do is write code and browse the Internet, it works better than Windows, but end-user applications aren't a thing on the platform despite the effort that's been put into making it an easy OS to install.>everything else has a Linux alternativethat crashes constantly and lacks a responsive interface.>krita is the best application for drawingIf you're a crossdressing furry, maybe.
>>108848515>Adapt or dieWhat's wild is the same people pushing for progress couldn't care how older systems ran, and why people actually enjoyed them. Which ends up filling OS's with bloat. I never said Linux distro's were bad, only that people had a hard time adapting to something new. Friction kills a lot of the potential user traffic into Linux for 3 reasons:1: One needs to have the technical know how to turn a PC or Mac into a Linux machine. Unlike other pre-installed OS's the user would have to completely uninstall their older system.2:The reason people like Windows or MAC is because the shortcuts, workflow, and tools change between models. Assume your average user is impossibly lazy and can do nothing.3:Support and Compatibility with Linux is getting better than it was a decade ago but due to the smaller user base, program compatibility is poor.Can all three of these issues be solved with enough programing gusto? Yes. Are things getting better? Absolutely. Would I recommend everyone reject windows and apple for linux? Not exactly. Some older folk still LOVE command line interfaces if it works similarly to DOS. At the end of the day it's ease of use which comes down to learned familiarity.
>>108848736>Assume your average user is impossibly lazy and can do nothing.FOSS is constantly fluctuating in and out of concurrency between its dependencies, and being unable to maneuver around that isn't tantamount to laziness by end users. The development effort might be valiant but it lacks actual coherency, and Linux advocates aren't doing themselves ay favors by pretending they're too smart to deliver actual solutions for end users.
>>108848836>FOSS is constantly fluctuating in and out of concurrency between its dependenciesSomeone has a word a day calendar. I'd say more money doesn't always mean better product. The whole point of open source systems is to allow for users to change, improve and branch off into more customizable sections. A fragmented (sometimes pretentious) user base gives many open projects a bad reputation amongst the wider public.>being unable to maneuver around that isn't tantamount to laziness by end usersI wouldn't put all of the blame on the users end. I'd assume long term Linux users that have lost touch with other OS's might find Windows or Mac hard to come back to as well. For the average computer user navigation becomes muscle memory eventually. The point is that friction between the user and end product reduces potential adaptation. Apple and Windows are competing systems because they each have unique (albeit similar) programs. Some users find transitioning from Finder to File Explorer to be difficult due to the placement of UI elements and function keys. Even if Linux was a widely adopted system that cam pre installed on billions of computers with the infrastructure and support needed for mass adaptation, some users would still stick with what's familiar over what's new.
