The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

[Eternal Spirit of Light]

Gotta be a troll. Though it could just be the average arch user/tranny.

Of course it's rust.

pedos

Windows is made by Bill Gates, notorious island visitor.

The biggest issue with linux will always be its users.

So.......... there is no issue with linux? You can't criticize software for the people who use it.
The truth is that any "criticism" that you attempt to give is trivial and nonsensical. You're just a retarded faggot who can't use computers that don't treat you like a child.

If you don't use a CLI you're a normienigger and shouldn't be allowed to use computers.

I would switch to something else because I don't like the looks of Windows 11. But I mostly use my PC for gaming. Remember that old meme from years ago where some woman is standing in front of a shelf and has her hand pointing towards and says "you can play some of my Mac games" but the shelf is completely empty. The kids she is talking to is totally confused. You could just scratch Mac out and replace it with Linux. You can play some of my Linux games. Me: ??????

Hopefully Valve puts more work into Steam OS and gets more game compatibility.

What do you use Linux for not dev related? Frankly, I don't see any benefits for using a system that is as like 2% of share in PC industry. Make it even 10% but still... I want to turn on my laptop and do things and don't bother with tty and some cli's and other shit that I don't need but I have to use for my admin privileges. Most of the proffesional applications run on Windows. I don't like how LibreOffice looks like and Thundebird isn't an exemption. Most of the CAD program are also written for Windows/Mac. The only working for GNU/Linux are the free ones that are utter shit and aren't compatible in some ways with proprietary software.

I don't have opinion towards Windows 11/10 because simply I use it for gaming/office work and it runs flawlesly for the tasks it has to accomplish. I literally don't care that Linux gives me freedom in selection of GUI that will shit itself once I update Linux kernel or the faggots behind Gnome/KDE break something that I will have to struggle to find answer in dozens of hundreds threads on different boards that never works in my case or are left unresolved.

When I was considering installing Linux on my laptop and play games on my console then it struck me how pointless it is if I would like to play something available only on Windows and had to wrestle with Wine or other paid shit like Crossover that never runs fully natively.

If you are a dev or work in IT then it is a definetly solution for you to work in such toxic environment like Arch Linux but otherwise I highly advise against.

Development is actually one of those things that's better on Windows, for the most part. (I say "most" because Git is a perpetual foreigner on Windows and too many projects are still using it) Doing what your grandma does - reading Boomerbook, watching youtubies, checking email, making and printing the church bulletin - works as well as Windows or better. My grandma-aged family members are all getting Linux Mint once their old Windows 10 installs fall off the cliff next year.

 

[Eternal Spirit of Light]

don't bother with tty and some cli's

CAD program

Freecad

that are utter shit

They're not by the way, you probably never even bothered to learn them

aren't compatible in some ways with proprietary software.

Not being compatible with glownigger software is bad how?

gaming

If a game can't run on Linux then it's probably not worth playing in the first place. The only game you need is Minecraft, then you can mod it however you like.

office work

Stop working at NiggerSoft and get a real job.

I literally don't care that Linux gives me freedom in selection of GUI

Slave mindset. "I dun care that I can have freedum, I prefer to be comfortable with my masser!"

Gnome/KDE

Maybe don't use inferior software and use DWM

toxic environment like Arch Linux

Arch Linux is bloated and inferior. The people who use it are often midwits.

Most of your Linux problems stem from you choosing to use inferior software.

To anyone using Heroic Games Launcher, how do you add games from your Steam Library to Heroic so that you play on Heroic and not on Steam? I'm using it to test GTAnline and see if you get banned or whatnot due to BattleEye.

I was going to say arch rust tranny but didn't because I thought they were using c++ from what was mentioned in the video. And I didn't look into it. Lol.

Everything people use windows and Mac for. Just with less glow nigger shit baked into the actual is itself.

Development is actually one of those things that's better on Windows, for the most part.

Depends heavily on what you're developing and what your dev workflow is like. If you are using any kind of containerization, you end up having to use Linux anyway, whether through a VM or WSL.

 

[x3firehexx]

Development is actually one of those things that's better on Windows, for the most part.

If you are doing game development or something that heavily relies on microsoft .NET, then yeah, you'll need windows in one form or another. For everything else, there's Linux..

 

[Verpa Teutonica Ingens]

If you are doing game development or something that heavily relies on microsoft .NET, then yeah, you'll need windows in one form or another. For everything else, there's Linux..

Even then, there's .NET Core which also runs on Linux and MacOS. It's really just a bunch of older stuff like WinForms/WPF that's still Windows-only, even though it's usable with the same .NET that's now crossplatform otherwise.

Not even remotely. Consider Ryujinx: Full C# Switch emulator, runs great on Linux. (Mario Wonder 0-day was only playable on Ryujinx because Yuzu were such copyright cucks from Day 1.)

Yeah. I feel like I see a lot of soydevs running Mac, or some kind of Linux distro. That tend to do only web development related work.

Speaking of web devs.

 

[TheDataHorder]

Nonsense, SolidWorks is better.

I've never used SolidWorks, but its nice to know theres options to who you'll sell your internal organs to.

What do you use Linux for not dev related?

Everything else I do that isn't dev related, including gaming. I don't do much video editing but I have before, it's not impossible, you just don't have the Adobe suite basically.

Most of the CAD program are also written for Windows/Mac

It's amazing how many people use CAD software nowadays as a reason for not switching. Then don't switch, who cares? I personally doubt most people who say this even use AutoCAD on their personal device, it's just one of those programs they know doesn't run on Linux so they bring it up. Used to be games were the reason "dude you cant even play games on linux why would u use it." It's in bad faith, basically.

I don't have opinion towards Windows 11/10 because simply I use it for gaming/office work and it runs flawlesly for the tasks it has to accomplish.

Well for me, many times I've been at work and Windows 10/11 has told me it needs to install updates now and then ruins whatever I'm doing, even kicking me out of a meeting once. Just last week I was working and then suddenly Outlook fell apart and it was a big white box and there was a driver issue where the computer wouldn't talk to my docking station so I had to have IT come in and tinker with it. Windows is not a flawless experience, it's just one people have trained themselves to accept over their lives.
Not like Linux would be flawless either but I'd prefer it.

 

[0gh]

What do you use Linux for not dev related?

If you want to run any sort of server, run a lower powered/older device faster and/or extend its battery life then it would make no sense to run Windows.

I don't think running things like Home Assistant, Plex, sonarr or radarr is really dev related. The vast majority of users of most of these self hosted software are not devs at all, just take one peek at their support forums and discords. You can run a nextcloud instance just with the RAM you're saving from not using Windows

Most of the proffesional applications run on Windows. I don't like how LibreOffice looks like and Thundebird isn't an exemption. Most of the CAD program are also written for Windows/Mac. The only working for GNU/Linux are the free ones that are utter shit and aren't compatible in some ways with proprietary software.

If you work with Windows/MAC specific complex tools you might not be able to run them well or at all on Linux, so yeah you have to use their operating systems in that case. There's definitely proprietary software that has a lot more features than open source stuff, but shilling for proprietary software is quite a retarded take.

The proprietary stuff is a minus for those applications. Is it beneficial to you as a consumer that you now have to pay a subscription to use Photoshop or Fusion360 instead of just buying them? Fusion360 has a personal use free version, but it restricts features that run locally on your computer unless you pay for the subscription. So it's not even a "use our cloud? you pay" type of deal, they're not letting you use your own hardware for the tasks unless you pay them 85 bucks a month.

On the other hand, there's also open source stuff that beats out every proprietary software out there when it comes to other things. Look at Playnite, Input leap, copyq, espanso, obs, home & music assistant, wireguard, most AI related stuff that you can run locally, backup solutions such as duplicati, any sort of comic/manga reader, the databases that run most things you use, ersatztv, web servers and reverse proxies, 3d printer firmware, and the list goes on and on and on. Go to your nearest corporation, befriend someone and see what they use internally and you'll find mostly open source software and self developed tech that also uses open source software. Almost all of these other than Playnite run on Linux, and Playnite intends to run on Linux too in the future

Sure, corporations use aws and ms azure and shit like that, but that's just because they don't want to pay sysadmins and want to make it someone else's problem, not because it's of superior quality. And guess what? Amazon uses plenty of open source software too.

When I was considering installing Linux on my laptop and play games on my console then it struck me how pointless it is if I would like to play something available only on Windows and had to wrestle with Wine or other paid shit like Crossover that never runs fully natively.

Valve has made incredible advances in that area. It's nothing like it was a few years back. What's something only available on Windows that you'd have to wrestle with?

I mainly play games on Windows because I don't want to part with Playnite, but there's not too many things that genuinely require Windows other than stuff with certain kernel anti cheats. Most of those aren't games made to be fun, but to be a "sport" and to sell lootboxes and microtransactions so there's no real loss anyway

This is similar to the complexity argumeent. Linux commandline is super simple. Have you ever dealt with one of those Windows issues that you had to scour the internet for days or weeks and still never found a solution? Then you remember about it every odd year and curiously search if anyone found a solution yet, only to find other people encountering the same issue and Windows support asking them to restart and update their drivers or some shit. That has never happened for me with Linux

I'm not trying to shill Linux. My main computer runs Windows, but this User made Terrible arguments and I'm not sure if he's trolling or not.

To anyone using Heroic Games Launcher, how do you add games from your Steam Library to Heroic so that you play on Heroic and not on Steam? I'm using it to test GTAnline and see if you get banned or whatnot due to BattleEye.

Add the game to the HGL library and point the program to launch the Steam executable.
