The truth about linux.

Linux is not a desktop or business class OS.

Linux is only useful for serving up web pages on the cheap, or selling web hosting on the cheap.

Shit, even filesharing uses the gimped out SAMBA which is inferior to plain old windows server with active directory.

What would you expect from a 40 year old design where the only innovation is copying other systems. (cups+samba, samba, open directory, kerberos, etc).

Linux isn't even useful as a platform for business communications--there is nothing on it like outlook server--and this is a dead basic requirement for the enterprise.

There is no unified authentication for remote users either. You're stuck with a mishmash or kerberos, opendirectory, or maybe even radius thrown in the mix. Totally unacceptable.

Most UNIX innovation was done on Solaris, and their best tools aren't even available on Linux --(dtrace and zfs)--and now that Linux has eaten solaris' lunch, expect no future unix innovation.

Every other use case is better served by a desktop OS.

You linux ppl are fucking delusional!

>dtrace and zfs
ZFS exists for Linux now (yes, native, not through FUSE).

Linux has had SystemTap for ages, which is similar to dtrace.

It's one thing to learn UNIX and its use cases, its another to fuck people over.

No, because it's not free as in freedom and there are licensing issues by doing this which is why ZFS through FUSE is the most common variant.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as FUSE, is in fact, fuse2/FUSE-common, or as I've recently taken to calling it, fuse2 plus fuse-common.

GNU+Linux is open source software so it can be build for any use case. There are some pretty good desktop distros, bro.

Windows is like a plastic butter knife and Linux is like steel kitchen knife. With windows kids feel always safe to use and have fun with it playing to be chefs, doing things like cutting tomatoes or maybe onions, even if they do it in a slow or clumsy way, but meanwhile they feel happy and satisfied with themselves. Then when they see you cooking with the steel knife they starts wondering how it feels, then they starts whining that they want to cook like you and want to use the steel knife instead the small plastic one. You say that you cannot do that because you're busy but you'll teach him later. The kid gets angry and start whining more that he want the knife now and don't want the plastic one anymore, you tell him that to use the knife he must practice and be patient, meanwhile he should start with a smaller one. The kid gets more angry and tell you that he don't need your ugly and stupid knife because the yellow plastic one is more cool, and more safe, and he can do the same things, and that this one is not allowed for adults to use. Then you laugh in a light way like thinking 'that's cute' and you just say ok.

>>58108474
Later in the night when you're sleeping, the kid takes the steel knife and starts playing with it. He feels very exited, this one is heavier, shiny, it cuts things very easily, now he feels like a professional. Then he try to cut harder things, or trying to cut the vegetables in small cubes. During his play he mistakenly cuts his finger and starts crying very loud. You wake up and hurry up to see whats happening and you cure his finger with a bandage and cleaning the injure. The kid starts blaming you saying that this is because you didn't lend him the knife when he asked, that you never have time for him, that your shitty knife is dangerous and you're a retard for using it, that he didn't need anyway, that was your fault for always treating him like a kid. The only thing you do then is hug him and say, 'ok but promise me that you'll not try to use the knife again until being more grown', the kid just nods with his head while a tear walks over his face.

Wrong backend used in several DE/wm and you can't change it without a 3rd party compositor.

Bullshit. I can do more shit easier with Linux. Windows is just a toy for retards. Fuck being on windows and being tied down to some bullshit UI.

I was in a bad situation last month, bsd family did everything for me, but kind of needed teamspeak and steam for speaking & playing with my friends.

Windows is the king, and will be for very long time. I still hated everything in it: drivers, network, bloat, performance... Bluescreened after a week of use

Linux on the other hand was cool, but it's problematic as well, if it's not the network it's sound, or nvidia blobs, or steam, or a particular steam game (many distros in my case didn't boot cs:go or vvvvvv). That's the nature of countless patches.

Now i'm stuck.

So should i abandon steam all toghether? I don't wan't to spend any more sleepless night's just to play some games around with random people who i don't like that much to begin with.

It was hard, i knew that linux sucks for purely playing games, windows made a whole lot sense.

John Carmack: Improving Wine for Linux gaming seems like a better plan than lobbying individual game developers for native ports. Why the hate?
Gabe Newell: Linux and open source are the future of gaming (somewhere along the lines of: microsoft is shit, and we have to do something about it)

Both perspectives are valid but i think Carmack's view made more sense. Windows for spare machine made more sense these days (since it's piss-easy). But it was a dead end.

It got solved, i run SteamOS with bigscreen on external hdd and everything works ok, games and drivers, no need for desktop but that's good enough. (It's still a hassle to chat in voip or irc, a minimal desktop had hard time with permissions & sounds.) SteamOS on external HDD is cool when you have gpu drivers included, would recommend.

Very edgy writing for such a meaningless topic, hope you enjoyed this long post
