> linux still doesnt work with two GCC compilers at the same time
I believe Windows fixed .dll hell 25 years ago. What's the hold up with Linux? I'm pretty sick of seeing "/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found"
pic related, another genius move by Linux distro "opensuse". In order to upgrade, you simply have to edit a bunch of system configs by hand! How can Windows ever recover with its ultra convenient automatic silent safe undoable background update?
arch doesn't have this problem >inb4 le X broken no problems unless you're using xorg-git, then you're a fucking retard >inb4 le xorg.conf never touched it in my life
Angel Hernandez
Dont use an out of date distro that has 5 billion copies of libs because they dont keep up with the most current version of programs.
Landon Reed
Updates and upgrades are not the same. On opensuse the modification of the repos is one possible way to upgrade your OS. But you can also go the Windows way - insert a DVD and press upgrade.

>linux still doesnt work with two GCC compilers at the same time It actually can, you are a fucking moron
Camden Gomez
Should have installed Gentoo
Ryan Rodriguez
install source mage GNU plus linux
Jaxon Cooper
chroot you fucking mongo nigger
Alexander Stewart
It has shit performance on games, otherwise I would have switched to it ages ago. Also when dual booting the grub thing fucked up my Windows 7 boot so I had to do a startup repair.
Gentoo handles that problem more gracefully than even Windows.
Adrian Bell
Unironically this. Gentoo is the best at having multiple versions of the same package installed.
Zachary Sullivan
This feels kind of overkill, but is probably the best way to solve OP's drama.

Linux users still think putting every fucking library in /lib is better than your program better put every fucking thing library it needs under /programs/your_app/your_app's_shit. The correct solution may waste a few 100 MBs of duplicated libraries, but this kind of shit never happens.

>Yes this is a Linux hate thread Ok, i see two possibilities. The first one is that you're just trying to get help being passive-agressive. In that case see pic related and the next time use the /sqt/ or the /fglt/.
Juan Lopez
The second possibility is that this is actually a designated shilling thread with the only purpose of astroturf. If i'm wrong you wouldn't mind if i put some pasta here:
Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.
The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.
I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

What boils is me the PS3 and PS4 run on OpenBSD, and the PS2 ran on a IRIX based system. Why the hell don't devs use their non directx knowledge from those consoles for Linux? Easy ports, presumably. Doesn't Vulkan run on Linux? Failing that, Doom proves that Opengl 4.5 isn't missing a thing.

Joshua Fisher
no, I already fixed all this stuff myself. I just think Linux users are very delusion when it comes to the Linux vs. Windows debate. Windows is about ~3-7 times better on average for normal users in real world scenarios. Yes that's 700% better.

Building shit from source is an absolute pile of dicks.
Henry Fisher
Bro and then when you installed the new version, a bunch of other shit breaks.
Michael Perry
And again, if you had used Gentoo, this wouldn't be a problem because Gentoo is the designated compiling distro. Install it now.

Sebastian Brooks
But user-kun, Windows totally spies on you! I use Linux, so I can review the source-code (which I don't do in reality, I just hope other people point out flaws and fix them)! Sadly, compiling is exhausting and takes a lot of time so I just install binary packages from a repo that I blindly trust!
William Edwards
Butthurt botnet winfags in this thread trying to justify the Borg. GNU/Linux is the only OS for PC's. Your botnetted proprietary Windoze is not welcome here. Your OS does not belong to you therefore your PC is not a PC it is a windows computer, or W.C for short.
Ian Hughes
Use chroot for fuck's sake.
Adam Scott
I wish more people actually did review source shit, maybe the world would be so much better. But alas, all we have are a bunch of nerdy tryhards desperate to fit in. What's worse, is they won't ever realize how retarded they're being because the time invested into making their desktop work = sunk cost fallacy.
The windows domination is annoying, because they make idiotic decisions all the time, but fuck the "Linux Way". Autists want to ruin everything to mimic their lives.

Microsoft® Windows™ 10 can natively run ELF binaries including GCC.
Isaiah Howard
GoboLinux tried to do that and nobody knows them. Even, they where accused of trying to pandering Windows migrants. macOS does something similar to that.
Henry Lee
Because developing for linux it's a fucking nightmare.
Oliver Johnson
gobolinux is a research OS, they even removed the GUI so normies wouldnt try it.
the next chance is NixOS but I'm not sure how mature it is, their weird invented functional 'muh haskell' config language pisses me off. It's always autistic shit like that, that makes linux fail.
Nathaniel Cooper
hopefully flatpak will change this
Grayson Gray
They always try over enginnered or over complicated things like meme language as you said. macOS solves the problem in a way so effective that people believe that they only have to put or delete folders. And they have package management helping with that. I bet that this issue will be solved with the help of Lennart: Copying macOS but in a overenginnered bloated way, like all lennartware.
Jack Howard
> fixed .dll hell 25 years ago Lolnope. Just 16, with the release of Windows XP. > What's the hold up with Linux? THis is the Linux way of fixing it, you can't have two different versions of the same software because it can overwrite dependecnies of the other copy. Except that you can if you compile it with your own prefix, so it will store all the dependencies in the different place. Also LXC at your service.
Nathaniel Harris
This, Windows has many flaws but it is an absolute pleasure to develop for in most cases. Although, developing ON Windows is a pain and perhaps ironically I always use Linux to develop software for Windows.
DLL hell hasn't been a major problem in Windows since Win32
Landon Baker
>Except that you can if you compile it with your own prefix, so it will store all the dependencies in the different place. Also LXC at your service.
I just have different docker container for my various versions of nano.
Carson Brooks
you can have a runscript that changes LD_LIBRARY_PATH to current dir when it runs your application (see the linux version of teamspeak for example)
>macOS solves the problem in a way so effective that people believe that they only have to put or delete folders. look at /usr/share/applications it'd be possible to do stuff right with file manager support

Fuck that trash, in fact, if I see one more hindrance I'll get rid of the last windows installation in my machines with 0 (ZERO) hesitation.
This has been removed since Update 3 of VS2015 and was supposedly only included by accident.
Ian Powell
Fuck that shit, I won't even wait for the botnet IDE to finish. Going to install Manjaro in that shit
``accident`` LMAO
Connor Bennett

Mason Powell
I completely and ironically use GNU/Linux because it actually just works for me, and Windows is literally the worst operating system ever devised. I appreciate free software, but I'm certainly no freetard.
Jack Rivera
You can't hide this sort of behaviour so it's very unlikely that MS thought that this would remain undetected and included it as a means of spying... Just open your binary in Olly or IDA und you'll see what's going on.
Anthony Brooks
I installed Kubuntu 17.04 literally 10 minutes ago, tried to open the file explorer and bam: >Dolphin crashes
It still has that weird bug of WRiting LIke THis. There's no control panel for Intel Graphics to adjust the saturation so I'm basically looking at a white and grey laptop monitor. Oh, and the keyboard FN keys don't work after installing but work during the live demo lmao.

I heard the binary repos of Manjaro got hacked and some packages now contain backdoors by the NSA. You can't disproof this claim so you'll have to accept that you are in the same cuck-boat as every windows and mac-user out there.
Ryan Gonzalez
>I have literally never programmed in my entire life I can't tell if this is bait or not. Windows doesn't even come with a compiler. If you're using libraries that aren't proprietary platform dependent horseshit, any UNIX like operating system is going to be a million mils better.

It's not better, it's absolutely identical. We both don't know what our software does.
Invest that time in social drinking, at least you won't die alone
Elijah Rivera
mesa is a graphics library implementing opengl radeon and amdgpu are kernel drivers amdgpu is a newer driver that is being developed by amd itself I can't recall whether radeon was a community project like nouveau or the role of the X server amdgpu/radeon modules (I assume they're largely obsolete now)

I was only talking about binary packages. But still, how often did you actually validate the sourcecode of your packages? Fully checked them for backdoors? Never, just be honest.
Juan Thompson
So use windows then, idiot. Holy fucking shit.. You're a big boy aren't you? This isn't complicated.
Reminder: Use the software that you're most productive with, whether it's linux, bsd, macos, or windows. Use it and shut the fuck up. Your autism is just unbearable. Do you really need Sup Forums's approval 24x7? Or are you capable of having an original thought?
