Linux desktop actually being usable and not built on a clusterfuck of shit like X.Org.

Even MacOS is built on x

Ditched Windows years ago, now with Windows 10 I'm sure I'm not going back.

A better unified installation process, make install is fucking stupid

My home pc is for shitposting and play games. If i wanted to program i would just install a vm but i never program at home because after 40 hours of programming at work thenlast thing i want to do is program more at home.

I've just switched back to windows after 2 years of using Linux exclusively. I mostly ran Debian and Arch, but also noob distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro. The user experience is rubbish across the board. You have to make curating your fucking computer you hobby. No linux distro ticks all the boxes I want, so I might as well at the very least have a computer I don't have to spend time managing.

It just wreks on my 3 year old low tier dell inspiron without any hiccups.

Bullshit.

They replaced it long ago. X11 is ok for me though.

>>58989501
I mean, I run Windows 7 on my tower at home, and Ubuntu on my laptop and honestly they're both equally good.

Once I can use my DAW and my over 50 VSTs on Linux, while not losing performance, I would give up on Windows.

>>58989501
Is GPU performance in linux on par with Windows yet?

How is it not usable? How am I doing a degree on Linux more easily than on Windows then?

>>58990087
>Doing a degree
What did he mean by this

>>58989501
Gayems, and performance. I keep trying linux for games every so often, but I lose a lot of frames over Windows for some games I like.

As l33t as the DEs are in linux, they really don't offer me anything worth moving for. If I need a shell for programming or something I just ssh into a vm on my server

>>58989501
1 reason. I like to record and render videos in Adobe Premiere of Thief: The Dark Project. Find a way I can do this in Linux without it being heavily unstable and I will gladly switch.

>>58990076
This. I forgot about the Adobe software.
Also, amazing taste in skins for Ableton, I use it too.

Literally games.

muh games

Games. Tried Arch for about 3 months, it was fun messing around with shit but I primarily use my computer for games and WINE was too much of a hassle and Steam was annoying even for Linux-compatible games. Constantly had driver issues with certain games and just setting up Steam to work on Arch was a pain. (Although it seems like they've streamlined it a bit, before I had to hunt down the various 32-bit libraries, reading the Arch wiki it looks like it's a lot easier to find everything now)

Isn't it still based on x? I mean, they didn't replace everything

I can't/don't want to change from Windows for the specific software I have to use every day. Should I get a memeberry to explore Linux? Just what is this little niglet capable of?

>>58990189
You should explore linux in a virtual machine, you don't have to buy another computer like memeberry.

>>58989501
I'm a .NET developer / sysadmin with 10+ years of experience, and enjoy gaymen from time to time

I use linux for certain applications, just not as my daily desktop OS

>>58990189
Best use I have found for the RPI is a retro console emulator / Kodi media server.

My bro is currently using his to host a simple website and stream video from an attached camera.

but as this dude >>58990211 said if you want to try out linux just run it in a VM or setup a free tier AWS EC2 instance.

Most Winfags would prefer to let everyone else do that first because they're sheep.
