why isnt there a linux distro that is just windows without the bullshit? i feel like that could be successful
>>
>>109706994
There is. It's called Fedora with KDE.
>>
>the bullshit
care to elaborate?
>>
>>109707007
so i can download a windows program and it will run natively on fedora with kde?
>>
>>109706994
Yes it's called Windows.
Why would you need Linux if what you want is actually Windows?

Mint.

It depends if you want to use actual good software or Linux software. If everything you do is browser based then you're not limited to any specific OS or hardware.

Example: even though DaVinci Resolve is on Linux it's fucking crippled. Libre/OpenOffice does not replace Excel, not even old versions, not even close. Its so bad its not funny, people who shill Libre/OO don't actually understand the way spreadsheets are actually used.
>>
>>109706994
most linux distros come without windows bullshit
>>
>>109707015
Sure, just pulled the github repo and compile a native app
>>
>>109706994
That would be a Windows distro.
Distributing Windows without Microsoft's permission is illegal in the US and most other countries.
>>
>>109707015
Yes, typically anything worth running will run in Wine.

Retardbro said native, prepare for the melty after mentioning wine
>>
>>109707085
Nothing runs naively on Windows, every single Windows application access the OS through a dynamically linked runtime which is exactly the way Wine works.
It's why you can have Wine on Windows but you have to recompile everything for cygwin/mingw or use crazy kernel hacks like WSL1 for Linux.
>>
Windows purposely used underhanded techniques to make certain software only compatible with Windows. Direct X, direct kernel access for Internet Explorer, ETC

Apple is no better and has been sued many times for discriminating against Americans for foreign replacements.

Ironically Linux is founded by a ton of Jews, but they're unironically the good Jews
>Stallman is a radical anti-Israel extremist
There is no Linux distro without the windows bullshit because Windows bullshit was engineered to fuck over Mac and Linux
>>
>>109706994
Because we want to keep (you) away. Now go back to the trough and consume the slop.
>>
>>109706994
“Just like windows” is bullshit, you cant have bullshit without bullshit because you would end up having nothing. Using linux is not that hard just fucking use any big llm and within a day 99.9999% of things you would use would work exactly the same way they do on windows

Torvalds is Swedish/Finish. Most of the work on Linux has come from Redhat and Suse.

The only major Jew I'm aware of is Stallman and he's quite the secular Jew but just one jew being involved really isn't the end of the world and as you said if you ignore the communism he's been pretty good.
>>
>>109707023
>Libre/OpenOffice does not replace Excel,
Right, you should be using either Jupyter notebooks or a proper RDBMS (at least sqlite) depending on what you're doing rather than scrawling things in a spreadsheet like a half literate accountant.

Now ask it if jews secretly control israel

if you need windows only applications there is nothing stopping you from spinning up a VM, treat it like a toilet, you enter, do your business, then pause whole vm and close.

Linux is not immune.

>>109707196
Linux is a kernel
>>
>>109707213
Windows has a kernel too.
>>
>>109706994
Yeah, that’s Mint.

And I know what I’m speaking about, I’m an ex-Windows retard.

There definitely is some alignment garbage in whatever model they're using but my point stands regardless. Novel isn't run by jews.
>>
>>109707196
>Linux is not immune.
This. There's nothing magical about the API. Just like if you immigrate to Europe and still act like an African you'll effectively live in Africa still.

If you install Linux and fling binaries at each other like illiterate cavemen you'll have the same experience you did on Windows.
>>
>>109706994
Because Linux isn't Windows and it's not trying to be, duh. There's ReactOS for that, but it's not very usable.
>>
>>109706994
Because Linux is modeled after Unix, it's like asking "Why isn't there a gas car that's like an electric car but without the bullshit?". They're fundamentally different designs with their own pros and cons
>>
>>109707189
I've never understood how people can get actual work done in VMs, I follow the toilet mindset, but I dualboot (On two separate drives, as anyone should) because the only Windows-only program I use (Vegas Pro) runs like shit in a VM

It's called Windows 7.
If you can't make modern software run on it then that's a skill issue.
>>
>>109706994
Why haven't you done it yourself? That's why. Nobody wants to do it.
>>
>>109707178
Retard take. Excel is a critical app for people who need it and cannot be replaced easily because no single good encompassing alternative actually exists. Libre Office Calc is so shitty it's a joke. Sure it can do a 5 col X 10 row table using sum and average but it doesn't do the stuff Excel is needed for. The genuine closer competitor is Google Sheets which shits all over Libre. Sheets weakness is it stalls, crashes or very slow with large datasets and has a smaller cell count limit
>>
>>109707189
If you need Linux applications there's nothing stopping you from using the Windows version build that works better
>>
>>109708058
Windows 7 automatically updated itself to Windows 10 back in the day if you weren't at you computer to say no to the update
