that's why I said, "if its fixed" 😉

@Stefan Payne I mean there is RHEL for enterprise but most of the community from what I’m observing is driven by the free stuff. Linux powers lots of servers so having a solid code is the incentive to fund the Linux Foundation. As a result more development occurs to the Linux Kernel. I was just hoping the relationship was solely business and not this SJW nonsense but this week I was proven wrong.

What do you use out of curiosity?

2019-11-10 03:50:50 UTC  

Windows

2019-11-10 03:51:23 UTC  

I regularly try Linux from time to time but it always pisses me off with some stupid shit that either doesn't work or isn't implemented, that I always give up

2019-11-10 03:51:39 UTC  

it starts with such things like watching a video on Youtube

2019-11-10 03:53:48 UTC  

@Stefan Payne Currently there isn’t hardware accelerated video playback on any of the major browsers for Linux. There’s a patched version of chromium I think it only works with AMD drivers. Past some of the quirks I prefer the rest of the OS. At least in my use it’s more stable and requires less reboots than Windows. It also helps that the UI doesn’t look like it’s from the 90’s at least the setting menus.

2019-11-10 03:54:21 UTC  

The less reboots is bullshit

2019-11-10 03:54:24 UTC  

someone tested that.

2019-11-10 03:54:39 UTC  

after a patch you need to unload the patched libary and reload it.

2019-11-10 03:55:14 UTC  

Windows invented something insanely ingenious: the device manager.

2019-11-10 03:55:19 UTC  

Yeah the hardware accelerated video playback isn’t the move, and I never said that’s a solution. Just a workaround

2019-11-10 03:55:22 UTC  

just look at it and think about how AMAZING that is.

2019-11-10 03:55:44 UTC  

The argument for Linux is to implement it in the kernel

2019-11-10 03:56:05 UTC  

But I’m not an expert on this

2019-11-10 03:57:31 UTC  

The thing is: Linux is awesome for (headless) Server WOrkloads. And its strenth is the modularity and configurability....

2019-11-10 03:57:45 UTC  

but its weakpoint is usability, especially for end user and power user.

2019-11-10 03:57:51 UTC  

the Desktop Enviroments are just shit

2019-11-10 04:00:18 UTC  

For example when I place a dark theme on the system all the apps respond to it and don’t dick me around. Everything including the PDF reader responds to that. Also the system monitor in GNOME looks much more modern than task manager in windows. These are little things that annoyed me with windows that I find more consistent in windows. But I will agree for a non-tech savvy user it’s not the move under any circumstance. Requires a big time investment for a debatable return

2019-11-10 04:00:28 UTC  

Just think about the daskbar. WIndows 7 was released in 2009. It introduced the ability of starting a programm with Windows + Number. z.B. win + 3.

How many Desktop Enviroments support that? and how many are still on Windows 95 with IE4/98 Level?
