Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users

I am going to take the bet.

The thing is : microsoft won't stop spying, collecting data is a nice business, and also most people don't need windows:

Office docs can be open through onlyoffice, or you can also switch to libreoffice (the best option would be raw text like markdown or csv with a nice editor)
Who really needs advanced photoshop stuff that gimp can't provide ? AI ? (also gimp devs just revamped the project to bring modern features inside the editing core)
web browsers work on linux.
only kernel anticheats do not work on linux because kernel. Shame on the devs for needing a full fledge malware when it is purely cat and mouse (and if game devs could provide hostable private servers this would be nice). Also, I don't know if it works but this project exists

Finally, posting this on the fediverse is a bit ironic : why would you go on a small userbase social network when you can just go on facebook, X, bluesky or reddit ?

I personally prefer Krita to Gimp, otherwise my real issues with Linux being:

Lack of pro audio support. Sure, a lot of open source plugins are available on Linux, but only 1 usable DAW (Ardour), and even that has it’s own “issues” (de facto paid, if you don’t want to wrestle with exact compiler and make versions the devs won’t tell you).

X11 is kind of dated, while Wayland is still not up to the task.

GNOME devs. After all the sabotage, probably done in order to force people to use GTK and their UX design sensibilities, they should be banned from any Wayland protocol discussion.

Elitist users. They’ll scream at you online for using a normal text editor instead of VIM, they want you to write little automated scripts for GDB instead of using something with a normal GUI, etc.

  Bitwig has a Linux version. It’s proprietary and paid, but it’s very nice to use and comes with a ton of devices.

  Curious about this one, as I haven’t had any issues with Wayland whatsoever, and have been using it for like two years on a few different distros…
