Find alternatives for the software, then. Unless you're doing serious video editing or graphic design you can use Linux. If you are doing graphic design you already own a Mac

Yes, it is. Wine is VERY hit and miss with programs, and it's MISS 80% of the time.

Windows programs are incredibly stable and efficient, even if Windows itself is garbage.

Just disable automatic updates and configure it to simply notify you when something new is available. Then you can choose to install it whenever you want, works perfectly at least on Pro.

ReactOS is an alternative... no idea if it's usable yet though.

It's pretty true though. Almost everyone I know doing audio/video stuff has a macbook. Some of the guys I do stuff with use an asus rog but one wasnt satisfied and built a sick little matx box thats nice and portable. Probably gonna follow suit because I lug my fuckhuge tower to gigs

If all the software you use is windows-only and does not run as intended through wine then why do you even want to run Linux? Insisting on Linux is just stupid then. And this is coming from a Linux fanboi.

React OS would be interesting, if it could move a little faster in becoming an actual OS that's usable.

Just best to have a Windows computer for your games and Windows only software, then use Linux or get a Mac for your dragon dildo shopping needs.

>>56868684
Could Longene work as an actually-working substitute for ReactOS?
>>

That's not what "Active" hours means. Believe it or not, if you're smarter than a Twitch streamer at least, then windows won't force restart while you're in the middle of something.

stop playing video games you sissy queer

for good measure:
- learn to program
- go to the gym
- stop drinking soda and energy drinks
- install a real operating system

Linux will never be an alternative to Windows because it simply isn't profitable.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dominated the OS market because their creations were profitable and user-friendly. Linux does not work out of the box like Windows or Mac do--you have to take the time to set up at least one thing, which is annoying for most people today in the age of instant gratification.

Chrome OS (and now andromeda) is the only loonix distro that has hope of becoming mainstream IMO.

Fairly well from what I recall. It got a platinum on WineHQ, and it uses OpenGL so Wine barely has to do anything.
>>
Does anybody follow Wine's development?

How long until Wine makes Windows completely obsolete? I'm truly amazed that you can install Foobar through Wine and it just works as if it were a native program.
>>
>>56872863
Wine will never make Windows obsolete.
>>
>>56872925
It would make Windows obsolete if every program worked 1:1 the same as it does natively in Windows with no performance drops of any kind.
>>
>>56872955
>worked 1:1 the same
But that's impossible.
>>
>>56872963
Of course it's not, just incredibly unlikely.
>>
>>56871929
Maybe they skew Mac, but his point was that in terms of practicality, macs aren't any functionally better for graphic design than Windows. The Adobe suite is available on both and that's all those hacks seem to use. The reason they skew Mac is because graphic designers are brain dead retards who like macs because they are shiny and expensive
>>
>>56862343
>active hours

Jeez I remember when Windows 7 would just ask you if you wanted to install updates and if you said yes it'd have you restart when you were gonna shut down your computer not BEEP BEEP IM SHUTTING DOWN NOW
>>
>>56873019
People think Macs are better for such things because it used to be true. They're just unaware that this isn't the ase anymore.
>>
>>56863887
ReactOS uses the same Wine DLL implemetations, so it shares the same limitations as Wine.
>>
ReactOS is worse than Windows XP
>>
>>56873294
And?
>>
ReactOS is a fairly accurate emulation of windows.
>>
Windows 7 has security updates for the next four years. Why are you using Windows 10?

It was true at one point because macs had a lot of ram and the software for the time.
>>
>>56873842
It was true because Macs weren't run of the mill x86 machines.

Fireworks is a deprecated piece of shit. Look for an alternative, and I don't even mean a freetard alternative. You'll find that fireworks is garbage.

>Pretty much all software I use though is made for Windows.

So use Windows. I don't pay for Windows and I haven't paid for PC OS or software since the Windows 98 era.

Free is just as free if you copy it (copying is not theft). Your use of free software doesn't give developers money. A Windows user who donated to FSF supports software freedom while a Gentoo user who only downloads it for his own use is arguably a leech.
