it sounds like you've never used linux before

@Windatica more like very seldom

and not very well

however, they have the best disk utilities

like gparted and hirens

lmaoing because my hackintosh experience for over a year has been more stable than any windows experience i have ever had

@fedora i understand macOS is a polished linux, but it's what it is, polished, at least it's easy to use

but the software is on windows

like what software

give me examples

Mostly everything if you compare Windows v Linux

Unless you count WINE

which is debatable

some windows stuff via WINE is outright broken

In terms of the linux thing, the best thing they have is .deb packages

But that's really stretching it

And fuck tarballs

yea man its so hard to place that tarball in /usr/share

Is that what you are supposed to do?

yea and then you just run it

But a tarball is a compressed package?

so open it with your package manager

well yea i mean you untar it

and place that in usr share

No information online told me this

@fireglow general linux gripes

Plus I've also had linux installs outright break after one restart

specifically lubuntu on this netbook i have

everything just bombs out horrifically

no icons on the applications

limited functionality

how the fuck does that even happen

is ok

you only need terminal

but, there's one funcitonality I'm waiting for Linux to implement correctly

supporting multiple monitors with hotplugging

@spaqin you're joking

you cannot swap monitor cables while it's running?

sometimes it works

sometimes the pc deadlocks

oh wow

absolutely not thank you

using triple monitor

maybe once per two weeks in our environment at work

and sometimes I'll switch input to a ps4

i use triple monitor and i have never had issue with hotplugging

gotta have that switching ability

i use des though

twice a week we had a call where we took our laptops with yourselves

so 1/4 times it doesn't work

I will use linux for single instance tasks on low powered machines

Sure

But for my main?

if u use wms ofc its not gonna work since you have to configure xrandr again

Absolutely not

how about you use something like kde or gnome in high powered machines then

what's wms what's xrandr

i used cinnamon

xrandr is thing you use to configure monitors in like i3

my coworkers used unity and also had problems

I just want this shit to work without all the extra guff

(ooboodooboontoo)

All install tutorials I see, windows is a few steps, mac is usually a single step, linux is a page or two of dependency installs

no

it does it automatically

unless you've fallen for the /g/entoo meme

@spaqin Yeah, for a .deb package

@Obolon Prime stop lying you have never used linux

>using packages in last year + 1

ya wtf

you have no idea how this works

@fedora we use linux for custom RISC programming

at uni

amoungst other things

still you have no idea how package managers work

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

@Windatica i like this new thonk

With all these factors, Linux just isn't my cup of tea

It just won't work out for me

all 0 of these factors

i can see hotswapping monitors as a real issue, but other than that i don't really see what issues you have

@Windatica it's a nuisance

that'd kill me off it

and the packages

so confusing

just make it an installer damnit

or premade application

what

not having installer is best part about linux

👀 sudo apt-get install <program>

<:googlethink1:328536264292827139>

@fedora don't worry

you'll get your reasonable market share at some point in the future

how much is it atm?

less than 2%?

sudo apt install <3

this isnt even an arguement anymore

you just really don't like linux

but i just cannot use linux

you have never used it
