At least Macs support file systems from other OS's goddamn.
Yet another reason to purchase the new Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display.

No.
It's not just vIDeO GaYmes. There's tons of industry standard software on Windows that has no equal alternative on Linux. Then there's the dozen or so software I personally made for myself which is Windows only.

Don't say PhotoShop, either. PhotoShop isn't an industry and has nothing to do with anything. It's an expensive Instagram filter app for mactoddlers.

Cycle Tempo or Gate Cycle. If you can find better software for designing powerplant than these then I'll move to Linux.

Fuck windows. I'm glad I fully switched to linux over a year ago.

If you have a iob that requires special programs you can probably afford a computer wIth enough power to run a VM with a graphics card to spare for passthrough.

I've had the exact same problem with formatting an old ext4 drive to fat (usb drives aren't cheap for poorfags) That failed
It crashed windows as soon as it was plugged in, for some reason
Does windows fail to read corrupt partition headers?

some more pasta: 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?
>Then there's the dozen or so software I personally made for myself which is Windows only. That's your fault and lack of foresight tho. In my case i don't feel like marrying with an OS that's why i heavily favor multi-platform software and tools. When you use platform-specific tools you're locking yourself to that platform without any benefit.
Thomas Foster
What does that even mean?
Asher Morales
Except Photoshop IS an industry standard. Most big name 3d design and modeling apps aren't available on Linux either. Where's solidworks? Oh, nowhere in sight.
Leo Murphy
Somebody had to unironically explain windows has console.

Not that user but given the time I need to re-orient myself with using parted it's faster to open gparted.
