>>729852904Yes, the 80s were a bad experiment. The changes made to the stock market and recognizing software as equivalent to literature when it comes to copyright were both completely untenable paradigms, even more untenable than "Intellectual Property" was to begin with.The GPL is currently the only way to license software that is actually future proof and leads to good development.
It is good but I'm not touching it before HDR is at least decent
>>729853058why is hdr such a monumental task that only tv manufacturers manage to do itlike good luck finding a free image editing software that outputs hdr in 2026
>>729852904Eh, I'm still waiting until I see the frames. I am a simple man to please. I'll put up with a lot of nonsense to get better performance. Every time I've done an experiment with Linux it's resulted in lower fps.
>>729852904>I'm brave enough to say it:N
>>729853138HDR is being pushed by the HDMI forum to maintain their grip on an industry that is poised to eventually push them out, since it is such a bad connector standard compared to literally every other display standard.
Do not say this around normalfags or they will start fuming endlessly about how they can't actually use computers. It triggers some kind of a bizarre inferiority complex in them.
>>729853138The woke racists at redhat delayed hdr support by 10 yearsThey've also delayed high refresh rate support by at least a decade too(probably more, well no compositor even attempted more than 60hz until 2019/2020 afaik, then the dogshit optimization made it stutter)It's because of the thinkpad autists, there's been nobody with experience on linux's video internals that isn't a thinkpad 60hz 1366x768 tn 6bit frc autist
>>729852904The software I need to use still doesn't function properly on it.
>>72985379299% of those are botfarms running kali linux though
Meanwhile in Ubuntu 24.04: audio crackling because some retard thought good behavior when the audio buffer runs out of data is to PLAY RANDOM SOUND
>>729854638Ubuntu is genuinly horrific. Use linux mint, or one of the atomic gaming based distros
>>729853138TLDR: it's all fucked upEverything related to display technologies are a clusterfuck of 10000000 different standards and protocols. Hdr included. Linux is still very early in hdr support due to the miriad of implementations and the quirks they have. Some technologies are intellectual property owned by consortiums like the HDMI forum that want to charge money for them.
>>729852904The fact the niggas in this thread all shill different things proves that wrong.
>>729852904Just install it bros, don't suffer Microsoft's bullshit. You can even game on it now.
>>729852904>now that we have a working open source software we'll soon need open source hardwareFight never ends it seems..
>>729852904>I'm going to delete the root folderUhm... why doe?
>>729853201I
Can we get an operating system that's more like Windows 7 and less like debugging a commodore 64?
>>729852904There's no reliability. I don't even wanna use it to check coin prices in case it randomly shits itself while I'm shorting
>>729856931you never installed it to begin with
>>729852904i want to fully drop windows because fuck me it's gotten bad, but it's not entirely possible to make the switch to linux for me. developing for nintendo hardware is only possible on windows for example. kinda sux
>>729855345RISC-V my brother
>>729852904Are wheels plug&play on linux too?
>>729853416not surprising, Linux is purely a hobbyist OS. professionals who know what they're doing aren't programming an OS for free. Richard Stallman despite being a commie isn't doing it for free, either, he gets paid millions of dollars to do lectures and attend meetings and shit.
>>729858080That kind of reminds me of how Godot operates. The engine itself is free and you can do whatever the hell you want with it, but the creators own a company that offers to port Godot games to consoles for a fee or something? It's not the most amoral revenue model I've seen so whatever, though both RMS and the Godot creators are kind of assholes.
>>729857945Dead on arrival. It's killing itself by fragmenting with a billion optional extensions when in practice Chinese closed source chips will set the actual standards.
Bazzite or CachyOS?Also does Linux still not have HDMI on nvidia drivers??
>>729858336cachy, bazzite is a training wheels distro hdmi is an issue on amd due to the hdmi consortium being niggers that hate amd's drivers being open source
>>729852904>nowIt was always good if you weren't a bottom line retard.
Wake me up when Linux can decide on a single version I don't have to mess with to make everything work. It will never have mass market adoption until it does.
>>729858503arch or one of the easier derivatives with kde retardstop crying about needing to choose, do you have choice paralysis every time you go to the store?
>>729858568>This one or several others based on itYou obviously can't read. Because, again. One that just works, not a bunch of others that also might work that have their own quirks.
>>729858628there is functionally no fucking difference past the first week
>>729858336cachy imo, feels way less bloated and performance is also a bit better for me though not much. the "difficulty" of arch for this distro is so overstated. i use it exactly the same way as bazzite, just upgrade through the "cachyOS Hello" tool they bundle, i never touch the CLI. i also like to use octopi for installing software, its pretty simpleIf you choose a bootloader like limine its also simple to have a similar snapshot setup to bazzite so you can restore easily if you somehow fuck up
>>729852904Is it finally safe /v/? Can I finally state that linux is indeed good without having to fear microsoft kil
>>729858681Lol you are so mad
>>729854838why not just steamos?
what the fuck is thisdid valve brick the survey
>>729858628Default KDE CachyOS then. It's easy to use and works out of the box.
>>729852904I had started a playthrough of BG3 before deciding to switch to Linux, but as soon as I'm done, I'm making the jump. W11 is way too shit to abide.
>>729859460there's linux native version of BG3
>>729859687is it better than playing through proton though? linux native versions often aren't worth the hassle
>>729859687Yeah, but I had already installed a billion mods and didn't want to go through the whole process again. I'm near the end now, anyway.
i have a 4090should i switch to a 9070xt just for linux?
If Linux was so great it wouldn't need any shilling. Simple as
>>729861183i don't think anyone can answer that for youare you going in blind? you can just try using it and see if the seethe from having to deal with nvidia's shit is worth the drop in performance
What is Linux? Why should I use it?
Nuff said.
>>729858336What are you on about? Nvidia obviously has HDMI. They use closed source driver. AMD has a version of HDMI that is behind the version that nvidia has.
>>729861343You know what, you're right.I was about to make the switch until i heard linux is just better on amd and you lose a lot of performance on nvidia.But i think the most likely scenario is I boot up a game on linux and notice practically nothing different.
>>729852904is it actually good or have commercial products just gotten so shit that it's tolerable by comparison?
>>729856531C
>>729861183If you plan to use Linux long term, yes. I don't really see nvidia fixing their driver, even if they are trying. Supporting consumers in general is not their priority and Linux consumers are specially not their priority.Doesn't mean you can't use Nvidia on Linux, but if you're using it long term you'll probably encounter enough annoying problems to get tired of it eventually. Took me about 6 months.

>>729852904I've been using it off and on for over 10 years now, and just last year I finally got rid of Windows. It has improved so much recently, and it's only going to get better with more people ditching Windows.
>>729852904https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4FlL1FCbvA
>>729861281windows is only a thing because they were shoving it down everyone's throat in the 90sthey cared about it being popular more than about it being goodit's a kikery of the highest order and we're finally starting to recover from it
I'm not against using Linux, I'm just lazy and set in my ways. I will say, however, that Windows 10 is going to be my last Windows OS so when it becomes unusable in the next 10 years that's probably when I'll make the switch.
>>729861423>"just double click an old game and it just works!"You have no idea how much I wish that lie was how it actually fucking workedin reality the shit fails to launch because it relies on DX6.0 or earlier, and then you need to google for sourceports, compatability patches, or fucking remasterseven recently I spent hours trying to get AVP2 to work on W11 using some "all-in-one" compatability patch made years ago which didn't work at all, then I used dgvoodoo2 in the end to force the game to finally run, but the resolution is warped because it's trying to stretch the 4:3 screen by defaultI've had more luck with WINE running older games than modern windows....
>>729852904I've been using it for a couple years now. Aside from stuff where the developers seem to go out of their way to make it not work under linux (anything with kernel level anticheat falls in this category) it's fine.
>>729861923You know, funny that you'd say that. Back in the day a long long time ago Microsoft said "Windows 10 will be the last Windows OS", I actually made it my last Windows OS precisely because they said that.It's the last Windows OS after all.
>>729858719Not yet anon. We have intel that Bill Gates has personally killed at least 3 Linux shills just this week.
>>729861987That was just some retard on Twitter, MS never actually used that line in their advertising.
>>729861615dilate, sar
>>729862168I took that retard very seriously. I put all my eggs in the Windows 10 is last Windows basket.
>>729862212Surprised you didn't bail after the atrocity that was 8
>>729862247That retard is exactly why I didn't bail. I figured "hey if it's the last Windows, I might as well use it since I never have to change from it". I still could get enterprise keys for free at the time too.
>>729852904This little nigga looks like the good ending version of Sam Hyde
>>729857789Never said I did jeet. I just know it wont ever get past binance login screen
>>729862903HuhMicrosoft India employees aren't even trying any more are they?Usually they'd act like they'd at least tried using Linux but I guess your script is just shit
>>729862903What sort of tech illiterate shit are you blabbing about. Shitcoin stuff works fine on linux, even binance, I've used it myself on it just fine.
>>729853185linux performance is already better in a lot of cases on aymd and that's while going through wine, goes to show how bloated windows truely is.
