The scaling is amazing on linux, No issues whatsoever. Windows 11 the desktop is laggy and the scaling sucks, as well as having less FPS and worse frametimes in games.

At this point its pretty embarrassing that linux is more smooth and stable than windows 11 at this point from my experiences.

VRR just werks, gaming just werks, browsing just werks.

Okay, I will bite, it's just a bad experience All desktops suck and I am becoming more polarized to unix (and linux being build to be similar to it) the more I learn about it.
>It just werks now for 99% of people.
Far form it, it might compete with the chromebooks and chromeOS but, most people have phones, and for thoese who still use PCs in 2026, We want lot's of things that Windows does well and the Linux Desktop doesn't.

Compromising as in forced to use locked down software because adobe and microsoft are clutching onto the last crumbs of power they have?

People will always find alternatives to bad things. We wouldnt be in this situation if we just embraced open source instead of letting greedy companies dictate everything.

Most of everything is done in a browser, or is cross platform, any important stuff anyways. Adobe photoshop and their suite is not important enough to the 99% of people.

>Why aren't you using linux?
Linux doesn't offer me any advantages and only disadvantages. Even if 99% of things worked just as well as on Windows I would still not switch since I can get 100% on Windows. The Linux desktop is a solution in search of a problem.

>It just werks now for 99% of people
That's just not true in any way. If you even have to think about your OS then you have already lost and with Linux you spend more time thinking about your OS than actually using it. Having everything be needlessly complicated doesn't mean you are using an advanced tool for professionals, it just means you are using a bad tool.
>>
>>109189959
but 99% of games just werk even modern games on linux with a single click with proton and wayland.

The lie of
>muh linux can't run games!

Is just 8 or 10 multiplayer titles that refuse to support linux.

There are other games besides fortnite, cawadooty battle royale, RUST and apex legends, you know that right?

I do, I got 2 laptops with it, one with Mint and one with Arch.
My main PC is still on Windows because braindead faggots over at Riot cannot make TFT a separate game and I enjoy playing it with my GF so, also Adobe software for work.
>>
>>109189538
Then you either don't know what you're doing, or used a distribution with packages that are ancient, because gaming performance being significantly better on Linux is the primary reason a lot of people are switching away from Windows 11 to Linux. The only downside to gaming on Linux is that some (not all) games that use kernel level anti cheat haven't bothered updating the cheat detection and the anti cheat will disconnect Linux gamers (mostly just fartnite and GTA Online), but hey you know everything because you used Linux once. You should email Valve and tell them to stop shipping their new console until they replace the Linux SteamOS with Windows! I bet they'll appreciate your expert opinion and saving them from a costly mistake!

Ever since valve has been bankrolling linux with the steam deck in 2022, they are making a good effort to centralize and make linux actually usable with KDE, flatpak, pipewire, VRR support, HDR support.

KDE is the only linux desktop that has any future to compete with windows, and so far its at the point where its getting to the polish of windows 10. It seems Plasma 5 and Plasma 6 were subpar for general desktop use but somehow they pulled it together in the last few years.

Linux FINALLY has a modern display protocol with wayland that works for the future and its polished for KDE.

Ubuntu LTS or Debian stable. Pick your poison because both have their issues but realistically they're your best bet.

>but 99% of games just werk even modern games on linux with a single click with proton and wayland
Almost all games I played on Linux had performance issues, audio issues, crashes and incompatibilities. But gaming was the one thing that at least worked somewhat. Even doing normal tasks was completely impossible and nothing worked. Felt like some kind of sick joke. All open source apps that were available on both Windows and Linux had issues on Linux that ranged from making it borderline unusable to completely unusable.

Without exaggerating I could probably list 50+ breaking issues that made Linux unuseable and none of those have anything to do with apps being unsupported. I can't even comprehend how it is possible to make something so bad where even web browsing becomes complete torture.
>>

>gaming performance being significantly better on Linux
Benchmarks say otherwise. Linux performs better in a small minority of cases, but in most games it's slower.
>>
>>109189480
Seems annoying to setup and hate the idea of some stuff not being usable on Linux. If microslop gets more annoying I would be forced to switch though.

The fact that you actually believe a trillion dollar company is so petty that they would pay for indians to shill their OS on some random chinese cartoon website is beyond delusional. Maybe it's some type of coping mechanism because Linux nerds just can't handle the fact that most people in the world don't like their tinker hobby OS.

If you have an AMD GPU you might as well install Linux. Their drivers on Windows are fucking atrocious, and I don't say that lightly. Holy shit.

Linux lacks the ability to run applications in real time, which in turn makes day trading at a high level impossible. Garbage code.

I see a resident Linuxfag is having another melty once he got reminded of Reality™ that people still aren't flocking to Linux en masse despite his daily shilling and has to take out his frustrations by ragebaiting on /g/ again.
