If Linux could run all Windows programs natively and without problems, would you use it?
>>
>>62353400
I don't use Windows, it's been 3 years any microsoft shitstain touched my system
>>
Yes without a doubt. I haven't found a Linux distro I like as much as Windows 7 but I vastly prefer any of the easily accessible distros to Windows 10.
>>
wine werks fine for me so i dont :3

That would bring all the problems windows currently has over, so no.

>>62353449
I disagree, the programs may include some problems but the Windows kernel and the Linux kernel are so different that it can't really bring all problems over.

No because Linux runs like shit on my computer compared to Windows 10 which means I would have to put up with shitty Linux performance and shitty performance of what I currently use without issues or performance problems.

>>62353678
I'd just like to interject for moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

When it comes to gaming, let me redpill you real quick. What all of you want to do is vote with your dollar. GNU/Linux is allergic to binary blobs, whereas NVIDIA gets cancer just by hearing Open Source. Only AMD is moving towards somewhat of a middle ground.
By voting with your dollars you'd eventually get:
Open Source up-to-date drivers (that make GNU/Linux suitable for gaming)
Community support (gamers could not only mod games, but sperg out on drivers as well)
Free (as in lack of malware/data collection) and Free (as in public torrents on the official website) operating system that is excellent for gaming.

Windows is cancer because this gaming driver fuckapalooza is another example of the shit Billy the faggot got famous for. Under the table deals, dividing and conquering, shameless, misleading self-promotion and outright lies.

This could apply to major branches to software as well. Instead of buying MS Office, why don't you donate a buck or two to Libre lads. Send Adobe a dick pic and buy GIMP devs a beer. You'll be much more appreciated and less likely to be called faggots here on /g/ (terms and conditions may apply).

which is why we'll never be able to game properly on linux

I really don't see the point of using linux as your system if you have to install steam (and its motherfucking 32bits outdated runtime) to play games anyway

It would be possible if MS released its own version of Linux.

>>62356058
Hipsters started the craft beer revolution. Similarly, independent game studios could start open-source gaming revolution, by relying on open-source drivers, game engines and saying no to proprietary ("we've done it this way for the last 20 years") bullshit.

All these years later and they still haven't realized that shilling has an overall negative impact on their brand. Especially inept shilling by literal poo in loos.

The issue is that they can't shill honestly, so they resort to lying about stuff much like systemd proponents do. It really exposes how shaky their actual software really is, that they have to use these tactics.

I will never use MS or systemd. There's no reason to.

>>62357140
My pic explained that I do not encourage capitalism, but rather agorism and counter-economics as means of market anarchism.
In other words, as Samuel Edward Konkin III put it:
>The goal of agorism is the agora. The society of the open marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved. And a free society is the only one in which each and every one of us can satisfy his or her subjective values without crushing others’ values by violence and coercion.
Voting with your dollar will lead to GNU/Linux to become an excellent gaming ecosystem.

I'll start off by saying that your "pic related" still has nothing to do with any of this.
but secondly:
>My pic explained that I do not encourage capitalism, but rather agorism and counter-economics as means of market anarchism.
literally what? communism is literally just the negation and sublation of capitalism. that's all it means.
>The society of the open marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved
which can't exist as long as private property exists, since it is theft by nature
>and a free society is the only one in which each and every one of us can satisfy his or her subjective values without crushing others’ values by violence and coercion.
you mean "to each according to his ability, each according to his need"?
>Voting with your dollar will lead to GNU/Linux to become an excellent gaming ecosystem.
because why? throwing money at a non-profit organization does not do that. Linux donations will just cause the developers to improve Linux.
But enough of the hypothetical, let's actually look at what keeps Linux afloat IN REALITY; it's the fact that wealthy shareholders who need to keep their servers running donate to the Linux foundation in order to keep their business afloat. The only reason free software has gotten as far as it did is because it JUST SO HAPPENED to include the GPL as its license. If Linus chose to use something like, say, the BSD license. Free Software as a whole would be dead as a doorknob.
This isolated scenario is almost a caricature example of why "voting with your dollar" doesn't work, since the developers know people will always pick the better UI above all else for their processing, regardless of its internal flaws.

>>My pic explained that I do not encourage capitalism, but rather agorism and counter-economics as means of market anarchism (in this post >>62355909)
>literally what? communism is literally just the negation and sublation of capitalism. that's all it means [Nice strawman, faggot].
Exactly, and my point was to show that my post had nothing to do with either communism or capitalism. In fact, it's an example of libertarian world view.
>>The society of the open marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved
>which can't exist as long as private property exists, since it is theft by nature [Nice No True Scotsman, faggot]
Agorism is not communism. You do not need to abolish private property for it to "exist". The point of agorism is reaching towards the ideal. Konkin specifically denotes his class theory with non-statist and statist capitalists being on the wrong, with the later being more so. Whereas entrepreneurs are defined as the positive driving force in the counter-economic society. This is extremely relevant for the future of gaming in linux. Fuck that statists (MS, NVIDIA) and support trail-blazing entrepreneurs. This drive to the free society is what underlies agorism.
>>Voting with your dollar will lead to GNU/Linux to become an excellent gaming ecosystem.
>because why? throwing money at a non-profit organization does not do that. Linux donations will just cause the developers to improve Linux. [Nice bandwagon, faggot]
GNU/Linux is not equal to Open Source. Vote with your dollar by buying Open Source friendly GPUs (relative), gaming peripherals and support independent game developers to prove the market that Open Source sells. Support libre or GIMP instead of office if you want. Support to GNU/Linux directly is irrelevant.
