What software do you want to see on Linux that isn't there

>>60915949
a better compatibility layer than WINE

Adobe suite.

>>60915992
This.

>>60915949
muh geaymes

>>60915949
First, I'd like to see a distro that contains a DE and file system worth using. That will attract users, which will attract developers, which will propagate the amount of programs available for Linux.

If nobody can accomplish this, Linux on the desktop will continue to be hobbyist garbage.

>>60915949
Adobe suite and muh gaymes

>>60915949
The software I want to see in Linux right now is being developed by me :)

>>60916052
thanks for the tip (((Microsoft)))

still not using your jewOS though
btw, make a desktop that isn't an ugly inconsistent pile of garbage before criticizing ones that look better than yours.

>>60915949
MS Office and Photoshop.

I'd ask for Illustrator too but i can manage with Inkscape.

KDE is beautiful and Dolphin is great, you can just take your shitty opinion and tie it into a noose to hang yourself

>>60916084
You can hate Microsoft all you want, but it's not going to make Linux better. You have to make an OS worth using in all aspects or it will fail. Linux on the desktop is terrible, straight up. Fix the core issues of the OS and the rest will fall into place - Unless of course you think the current way, developing shitty hobby apps and chanting "year of the Linux desktop" is effective. Protip: It isn't.

>>60916145
Wrong. They're terrible and unusable for the majority of the population.

If you hang all of the productive members of society, then all you'll be left with is hobbyist garbage and society will crumble.

>>60915949
How about a data integration tool? There are only a couple and they are all proprietary.

>>60916161
shoo shoo shlomo we don't want your jewish tricks

>>60916161
sorry man I just want on OS that doesn't shit the bed every five minutes with BSODs, wannacrypt, and failed Windows updates

>>60916186
We get it, you want Linux to continue to fail so you can pretend your life has worth because you spent hundreds of hours learning to use a worthless OS, impressing literally no one but yourself.

>>60916201
this. I don't have time to deal with incompetent pajeet code. Installed Debian on my computer years ago and have endless uptime

>>60916211
Untrue. Most of my family use various versions of Linux, and they don't know much about how it works. You don't need to know these days. There are instances of Linux that are far simpler to operate than Windows.

>>60916201
>Manages to fuck up the easiest OS to use

/g/ - tech incompetence

>>60916185
This - there is literally nothing unless you go to some place like Talend and download their spyware.

>>60916184
Nice shilling there, pajeet.

>>60916256
True, as long as someone knows how to double click "the internet", they can use any OS.

I suppose the issues then spring up any time you want to do more than run Firefox.

>>60916161

Maybe it was 5 years ago, but it's good now.

Nice non-argument there, NEET.

>>60915974

>>60916262
>easiest OS
yes, easiest to get malware with

>>60916304
The functionality is more or less the same across all distros as it was a decade ago. The only thing that seems to have evolved are all the useless special effects the NEETs like to show off to each other in Arch threads. The priorities are all set for failure on the desktop.

>>60916211
you seem terribly offended that people found what they believe to be a better alternative to your pet OS, and at the fact that they are happy.

>>60916364
Linux is too complicated for neets to understand, but keep being a down syndrome manhole trapped in your imagination, defending a botnet OS made by jews.

>>60915949
not really, what i think linux lacks is adobe and gaymes which are proprietary and if i'm running proprietary fostware i might as well boot up to windows

I bet you've had to restart your computer 6 times during the duration of this thread.

>>60916052
If you don't like it, don't use it. It's as simple as that.
If you are unable to chose from countless of distributions, countless of DE's then there's really something wrong with you.
>hurr durr, I want to see a distribution to attract more incomptent users to linux, hurr durr
Fuck off...
Already enough morrons complaining how copy-paste to terminal tier solution is complicated to them.
Let's leave gaymers to their OS.
Linux will be fine, only because of comunity around the world.

>new kernel every 9-10 weeks
>5062 developers from nearly 500 companies past 15 months

And Linux won't die, companies will contribute to it, because Linux is relevant to these companies.

But nice try, microsoft.

>>60916558
I think we'll see it come to Linux in a few years. Linux has gained enough popularity that some normies know what you're talking about when you say "Linux." When you look at huge companies like Microsoft already porting their software to Linux (VS Code) I don't think it's out of the question to see Adobe on Linux.

>>60916518
Doesn't microsoft donate to linux for hypervisor support, to run linux under windows?
Doesn't that mean, that to regular /g/ autist here these donations are just... meh?

>>60915949
Nothing. I have everything I need.

>>60916389
I want Linux to succeed, which is why I was pointing out the issues of Linux and what needs to change. You got defensive and started arguments which makes you the offended one about quite literally, your pet OS. Nobody really cares if you're happy with it, the majority are not, not even a small fraction of users are not, which is failure.

>>60916392

>>60916494
Kind of a redundant post, but I don't. If you don't like your pet OS being criticized, then don't read it or respond to it. Linux for servers has always been the only legitimate use, I use pfsense boxes at my business locations. But again, this is about Linux on the desktop.

>>60916503
Easily preventable to the educated, but the usefulness of Windows far outweighs Microsoft collecting diagnostic data. I'd use Linux in a heartbeat if it suited all of my needs, but it doesn't, which is the whole point.

>>60916627
>to run linux under windows
yeah kid.
Window probably gonna switch to service provider (cloud etc.) so they **need** secure and stable OS. They need (GNU)Linux.

>>60916654
Linux works just fine on desktop. Your critic is misleading.
Tell me, why would regular windows user even try linux?
Windows:
-First computer experience
-Gaymes
-Software I'm used to
-It just werks (for me)

>Hey, kid, try Linux, it's more secure, your gaymes probably won't work, you should have to use differnet software most likely, it's not OS you grew up with and are used to.
wow, surely sounds interesting to regular windows user.

>>60915974
This. Mainly for games - not for myself but for the platform overall.

Like it or not, tons of people use their computers as gaming machines, and losing a significant chunk of that by switching OS's is a dealbreaker. Going full autismo about games being a waste of time, or FOSS bullshit, will only ensure that people avoid Linux.

If you have a github/bitbucket or anything by forking links2 and the current README is going to help a lot right now, there is people interested but the current github account is not from an actual dev.

>>60916785
*critizim
My point is that windows became user friendly first. Unless windows will lose popluarity, nothing will change. (could, though, if more gaymes will come out on easy to port game engines, like unity or unreal)
Leave Linux to regular autists who will bend Linux to their liking.

OP asked what people wanted to see on Linux, I gave him a better idea since the current way isn't working.

>>60916773
True, but they would be correct, though for the wrong reasons.

>>60916785
For a long time it's usually been because Linux is free, because it has specialized tools, security or simply curiosity.

>>Hey, kid, try Linux, it's more secure, your gaymes probably won't work, you should have to use differnet software most likely, it's not OS you grew up with and are used to.

Exactly why Linux on the desktop needs to improve.
