  OK, then stay a corpo slave if you chose so

  Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can’t use regular gas in them? No, I thought so

  Photoshop is trash.

  Minecraft works just fine (it’s Java for crying out loud)

  Steam works natively. Valve’s most popular hardware device runs Linux.

  Media player classic

  You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?

  without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows?

  Two things here;

  1. You can get around on Linux without a terminal

  2. The terminal is king in functionality

  3. Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn’t a Linux only thing

  If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you’re setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.

    Media player classic is not window Media player. Windows Media player is trash.

    Photoshop might be trash (all of Adobe is, greedy little leeches), but it’s what I’ve been using it for like 22 years now and I’ve tried to use gimp but it’s just not the same, same with krita.

    I know steam and MC work, I was just listing stuff I use, I think music bee might even have a Linux version, and he’ll Linux might even have something better than Music bee. It usually does for media players.

    I never insulted Linux, I have no idea why people act like I do. Maybe me choosing I ubuntu might be insulting, but Linux having 6k options for me to pick is my own choice.

      I used to use mpc-hc so I feel you, but I did just check their site and it literally has a banner saying “MPC-HC is not under development since 2017. Please switch to something else.” mpv is pretty good.

      music bee is a bit trickier. There are roughly 5000 music players for linux and they all seem to have every feature you want except for one. Sayonara came the closest for me, I haven’t used it recently so maybe its better now but all I found it lacking was some smart playlist stuff.

    Photoshop is trash.

    Krita is simply great.

  Windows is only “easy” because you’re used to it. Coming to it fresh, windows 11 is such a shit show sometimes.

  Minecraft works on Linux,

  FFXIV works on Linux (it works on the steam deck which runs Linux, so it will work natively just like in windows),

  Steam itself works on Linux just the same.

    I was warned the Linux community would be harsh even if it’s just sarcasm.

        I do and don’t. I want the stuff I use to work and I want a seamless transition as is going from android to iPhone or windows to mac. But this is all dependent of what distro I use and what my uses are. Which is what makes Linux so unique and great versus windows having bloatware hell and 3 versions which are all basically identical plus AI slop.

  the thing is that if you are fresh gnu/linux guy there’s usually a store app where you can install software with no problems at all and as you get more familiar with gnu/linux you can start digging that terminal stuff

  and those apps you said really sucks…

  This right here is what’s keeping me from switching to Linux for now. My work PC is also my gaming PC. I need to run Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop flawlessly for work, and online games for leisure.

  I checked out alternatives, and while Photoshop has a few that are decent, InDesign and Illustrator alternatives are really not there yet for professional use. (Also Adobe programs are reportedly broken af when ran on Wine/etc., and I don’t have 2 GPUs to run them on virtual machine.)

  As for gaming, one of my daily driver games is Genshin, and I don’t want to risk getting banned bc I run it via some obscure launcher from GitHub that also makes the game crash on some new releases. Outside of Genshin, according to ProtonDB only 51% my Steam library is Platinum or Gold compatibility, 10% are various levels of broken, and 39% has no Linux support information.

  These barriers tend to get dismissed by Linux users, but they do exist, and are probably barriers to others too. With a Windows Enterprise install from massgrave then clamped down with O&O Shutup, I get rid of Microsoft’s bullshit and get an OS that I know can run all of my programs without problems.

  For now, this setup works better for my needs, but I’m eagerly awaiting the time I can finally make the jump to Linux, and I find news like Photoshop installer being able to run on Linux and leaks that Genshin will get released on Steam (hopefully even on Deck) quite promising.

    My work PC is also my gaming PC as well, but I’ve been on Linux full time for about 6 years. You do have some of the clear sticking points that won’t work well. Photoshop is probably the only Adobe app that does work well, because there has been such interest for a long time, but the newest versions specifically fight you. I suspect that newer versions (which professionals are usually using) have been intentionally hobbled by Adobe to prevent their use. Genshin Impact is one of the few cases where there is absolutely no work around right now and I honestly have no idea why.

    If your steam catalog is anything like mine (read: huge and been around a long time), I wouldn’t focus so much on the percentages from SteamDB. We both know that we’re not going back and playing most of those games from 15+ years that came in bundles :) I went through my games a while back and found that only about 5% of my catalog I would actually consider playing or re-playing wouldn’t work. It does directly come into play when looking at new games to purchase, but the vast majority these days launch as playable or get there shortly after.

    Hopefully one day you can escape.

  I know youre just trolling around, but wtf would you need mpc for?

  All of the shit you wrote have equal or better alternatives outside of windows, but if youre a die hard fanatic for closed source apps that never will be ported by their developers, youre stuck with windows until your grave.

  Have fun lol
