>KDE Plasma 5.2 looks really good

>remember that no developers want to port their games to linux as there is almost no gaming market there, and WINE doesn't support some games

Linux is completely useless. There's almost no games on it apart from fan ports, and anything that you could want to do on a PC can be done on Windows, so what's the point in using a Linux Distro instead?

>b-but muh freedoms

But many big name developers don't want to put their programs and games onto linux, as the linux userbase is relatively small compared to the Windows userbase.

Why even bother with Linux, /g/?
>>
>games
Buy a PS2 you manchild
>>
>Plasma 5.2
It's shit. GNOME is better.
Also the best games are from past generations, based open source emulators make them safe to play.
>>
>>46729241
once you grow up you'll learn that there are some other reasons than gaming to use a computer
>>
thanks to the effort of valve/steam, linux gaming is beginning to pick up steam. plasma 5 is pretty cool and actually feels like a mature desktop solution apart from some minor annoying idiosyncracies, but those are to be expected with any DE.

My main use for my computer is gaming, and besides, anything that you can do on Linux can be done on Windows
>>
>>46729241
>Linux is completely useless. There's almost no games on it

People use Linux for servers and development environments you machild.

This isn't even an issue if playing video games is how you mostly use the computer than stay on windows because it's the ideal environment for it.

>>46729326
SSH?

Actually that would be the PS2. Which can run Linux.

>>46729326
>My main use for my computer is gaming
yeah, _YOUR_ main use.
>>
>>46729351
Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that shiny things make shit look less shit and Sonic Spinball is an objectively better game than Skyrim.
>>
>>46729358
Its OGL renderer is still inferior to the D3D.

never had any problems. looks fine and runs smooth at 1080p. in which way is it inferior ?

You did make an objective claim based on a personal viewpoint.

>no games
>useless
what? most people use their computer for actual work.
>>
>>46729369
then why did you even mention it ?
you never explicitely asked why _you_ should bother with linux.
>>
>>46729369
You've made an equally stupid generalization by saying Linux is useless and shit because it doesn't run your games.

Linux runs all the games I want to play. Thanks GabeN.

Get a load of this fucking faggot

>>46729241
I don't know if you've noticed, but most of us on /g/ that push Linux use it because:
1. We love it. It's a more enjoyable computing experience for the technically minded
2. We're developers who use our computers for actual work. Although most the Linux devs I know keep a windows partition for gaming. However, work takes precedence and a "gaming partition" gets little use. Nobody actually likes using Windows for anything besides "Muh games".
Furthermore, anybody who has actual self-worth doesn't give a flying fuck what other people use. The fact that people like you base their worth on which OS, which phone, etc. is fucking sad. It's like elementary school where anyone who wore reebok instead of Nike got picked on. You're fucking pathetic.
If you like windows, use it. If you wanna talk about gaming, go to /v/. Those fags would love to join your Microsoft circle jerk. Just keep your pleb tier consumerist bullshit to yourself, or at least away from /g/

What? Almost all the games in my Steam list show up in Linux.

>>46729731
Why would a VM have 160GB capacity? Why would anyone run Windows for any reason ever? Why are you redirecting people to your home board?

Those are some pretty stupid questions.

>>
>>46735149
XFCE is deprecated because all the users moved to LXDE.
LXDE is deprecated because all the developers moved to LXQT.
LXQT just plain isn't ready yet.

Use KDE.

install layman, layman -a qt && layman -a kde, emerge -auDN @kde-live-next

you'll have to manually step in and correct some dependency ordering at certain points in the install, kjs expects the kdoctools package to already be installed (which it isn't, so the compile errors out, so just one shot emerge kdoctools and then go back to compiling the main set), you have to do this one or two more times for different packages which is easy enough to figure out by reading the error.
