Prove that linux isn't an endless wasteland of knock-off

They wouldn't have to copy them if they did it right in the first place. Seriously it's not that hard to make something multi-platform.

Maybe if it's designed to be multiplatform since its inception, which the majority of shit was not. And since EVERYTHING is built off old-ass legacy code, that's not going to change any time soon.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Libreoffice is a fork of Openoffice which was a product of Oracle. It has nothing to do with Linux. Also, I'd just like to interject for a moment.

When the fuck are you retards going to get over this "Adobe is the only professional software vendor" autism?

Linux has Lightworks and DaVinci Resolve, used in the Batman movies, O Brothers Where Art Thou, etc. Linux has Siemens NX. Linux has Krita and Inkscape. Linux has Bitwig, Ardour, and Mixbus. Linux basically dominates the technology infrastructure market.

No, it's not for everybody. That's not even close to true. However, you'd be a fucking retard to pretend that there's no useful software.

>mfw he actually compared Bitwig to Cubase, Logic, S1
Even if Bitwig was on par.. find me a Melodyne/VariAudio, Omnisphere, Serum or Kontakt alternative on Linux.. oh wait, shit you can't.

>>58958660
literally never heard of any of those besides lightworks

>>58954781
At least I can jump to OpenOffice (yes its still being developed, although a tad slow) after LibreOffice goes full retard with its autistic user interface.

>>58958730
DaVinci Resolve is for color grading. Commercial licensing is stupid fucking expensive so you don't see it much.

Siemens NX is a high end CAD program. It clocks in at around $10,000 a seat, so 99.9% of /g/ will obviously never see it.

Krita isn't the best, but is fairly good for drawing if you're that kind of faggot. Inkscape is the same for vectoring.

Bitwig, Ardour, and Mixbus suffer from not having VST support, which might be an issue if you are a professional preset operator, but is fine if you have outboard and and know how to place a microphone.

>>58958711
Bitwig is easily the weakest out of the three.

Kontakt, Serum, Melodyne, etc. are situational. You'll find plenty of people who have no need to use them or even refuse to use them on principle.

Again, it's not for everybody, but there are people that could (and do) comfortably work with it.

>>58958579
I'm triggered that someone uses WinRAR in 2017.

>>58958841
You can't seriously produce music on Linux. At least not in a modern way. You'll miss too many things like M/S Linear Phase EQ's.. multiband compressors that aren't cancerous to handle and many other creative plugins. I mean I could also produce music with an Analog Sampler but that's just the past and I would never go throuth that pain again.

>>58958857
WinRAR extracts faster. I've tested it myself.

>>58958579
CC actually runs flawlessly on wine

>>58958206

>>58958870
no it does not. No hardware acceleration, which is crucial for me.

This his how Linux users are:

>Windows/Mac user comes along and complains about lack of Music Producion software on Linux
>Freetard who never produced music starts googling "DAW for Linux" and replies with "you're wrong. Bitwig, Ardour"
Retards..

>>58958959
you're wrong. Bitwig, Ardour

>>58958579

>>58955110
you make it sound like linux is inferior to "UNIX"

well maybe if you weren't underage and actually ever use proprietary UNIX you would realize how much better Linux is.

hell, any of the BSDs are better than fucking AIX, z/OS, HP-UX, or whatever bullshit UNIX bullshit you can throw.

>>58958869
I've got a hard-on for outboard because it's cheap if you're making it yourself and I'm a sucker for pain. Plenty of other people are too, and there's a shitload of geezers who can't be bothered to learn anything else. In that use case, Ardour does the job. I've used it and although it could use some work, you could make it happen.

If you do electronic music, which by the sounds of it, seems to be your field, you are fucked when it comes to Linux.

>>58959175

If Microsoft office, with a fully featured excel and one note, worked on Linux. I would NEVER go back to windows

>>58959693

I'm not talking about GNU coreutils, though those are better than fucking any proprietary UNIX coreutils as well.

I just wish OS X came on affordable and decently powered systems.

I've got too much sense to throw thousands at something that's worth hundreds

And yet every attempt at replicating Apple's biosphere ends up in confusion, wreckage and disillusion.
As long as you have engineers designing GUIs and sales people designing hardware you'll have the same result.

Linux is great because its free. Well, not actually free. It has a license that governs what you can do with it. So its not completely free, just doesn't cost money. Unless you buy a distro that does cost money.

That's the great thing about Linux, the definition of words changes when you are talking about it.


Another great thing about Linux is that it is based off of shit that was used to solve the problems of decades ago.

See, people know how to do shit back then. These days we don't. So we should always do things like they did 20-30 years ago.

GUIs for everything. Who fucking needs that. A case sensitive command line works just fine. And once you memorize all of these none standard commands, it because easier then just having it laid out in front of you in a convenient graphical format. Millions of years made us visual creatures, but Linux knows better. That is why its so great, it can defeat evolution.

Not only does Linux change the meaning of words and defeat evolution:

It also is very flexible. You can do whatever you want with it. If it doesn't do something you need, you can just write a program that will do it. Of course, you can do that for any OS, but with Linux you can start using other peoples programs because they are open source.

Well, not all of them are open source. Some of them are. Not all of them are free, but some are.

Or if you need Linux itself to do something it doesn't, you can just change the fucking OS to do it.

Linux is so great, because you need a degree in Computer Science and Computer Engineering to make it be able to deliver on its promises of being open and flexible.

You shouldn't need a PHD to operate you computer. But if you spend enough time with Linux you will realize that the programmers who have written much of it didn't either. Linux is great because it defies logic and common sense.

I hate that the only choices are using some cheap gui or spending years tinkering with obscure gnu rituals. I like the idea of a gui but the ones around today are just so dogshit that I can't do much real work with them. If there was some way of properly marshaling data around in a visual format then I would jump on it in a heartbeat but for now I guess I'm just stuck with unix pipes. A better way to go about it would be something closer to bluebottle os's infinite screen format with a cli overlay that you can turn on and off. We need to move past the 70's with our dumbass WIMP interfaces.

No really it's porting to Windows that's the pain.
You write a nice POSIX program with portable constructs, easy as piss to make available on Linux/Mac.
But Microsoft, in all their monopolistic brilliance, decided to make it extremely hard to write portable applications, hoping to force people to Windows only. So if you want Windows and non-Windows, you basically have to write two different programs. Anything short of that requires a goddamn amazing abstraction layer.
