So, what do you have left to bitch about now, gaymurs of Sup Forums? What're your bullshit excuses this time?
What's holding you back from ditching Windows and setting yourself free and away from WinShit for good? Break the Windows chains that still constrain and bind you down, and set yourself free from Windows for good and switch over to a distribution
NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT, RETARD! Games have never been the reason for Linux's failure at the desktop. The real reason is on Linux it's impossible to get work done. It lacks even the most basic productivity software. There's a reason you never walk into an office and see a single workstation running Linux. Cry more, faggot!
Michael Allen
Not much is available for VR. cant even find a VR supported video player for GNU/Linux that (preferably) works with SteamVR
Ian Diaz
Can I play GTA V, Battlefield 1, battlefield 4, and desync? If no then fuck off
Carter Diaz
What work can't you get done on a linux desktop?
Camden Gutierrez
Also, even assuming you could run basic stuff like MS Office and QuickBooks on Linux, how would you manage all that shit in an office environment without Exchange, Sharepoint, Active Directory, etc.?
Get this through that thick skull of yours: Linux will NEVER amount to anything in the personal computing market. It's only good for automated jobs that literally never expect any user interaction like webservice and supercomputers (AKA glorified calculators).
Get fucked!
Chase Ward
Any.
Connor King
What work can you get done? It doesn't run Microsoft Office, and LibreOffice can barely even open Microsoft Office files!

Libre office and wps office work just as well as MS office.

no one gives a shit about your 10 year old valve games and indie shit
Jose Carter
Excel, Outlook, AnyConnect, CaseWare, SAP, Lync, Quicken, a bunch of shit.
Jaxson Campbell
Yea, exactly. In using Linux, its just more time consuming to use and thus less productive if I want to get lots of major work done. I guess it depends a bit on your distro, but OP is wrong when he says its easy to install and work. I use Linux distros, just not as a main OS. I would rather use Mac OS than Linux desu.
One example, is I have to use Matlab for my school, and in intalling it in say, ubuntu, I could not even finish, and there was no way It would work unless I used the terminal. While on Windows it took a few minutes and I was done.
Anthony Hill
I don't have to, I use WPS office on Solus everyday for work and it works perfectly for its intended use.
Evan Ortiz
I've never been in an office with more windows machines than linux machines. Im a developer tho...

Asher Brown
I conceded though, not sure why you are throwing around falacies.
Although I disagree with your original point that pajeet tier jobs are the reason linux is not successful on desktop. Sounds like you are just unhappy with your job to be honest.

If you think LibreOffice doesn't meet your demands of a good office product it's fine but if the compatibility with MS office is the problem to you just be aware that's M$ fault for for trying their hardest to be as non compliant to document standards as possible.

Colton Myers
I could use linux and convince myself that every unavailable game was shit anyways, or have all of them on windows, with the added bonus of being able to pirate everything without any effort.
Gabriel Cook
You can use Outlook in the browser though, I haven't used it as a desktop program in years. Isn't there also online Microsoft office?
Andrew Lee
Depends. My win installation is incredibly slow and bloated with literally nothing on it, and my main os solus runs perfectly. Productivity and all that shit is the same since it just werkz and all the shit I play works great. Dota, warband and shit like that all the new games are cancer anyways. I'm getting better fps on solus
Nolan Fisher

Oliver Myers
Or.. OR just keep like a 50 gig partition for shit that won't run on Linux and needs to be pirated
Jordan Long
Now, I actually do use Linux, but there are plenty of legitimate reasons for gamers not to use Linux. Namely, every game that Linux supports that Windows does is a reason to use Windows. Honestly, I'm a little pissed right now that the makers of VRchat don't have any plans to port their product to other platforms.
>Game is made in Unity >Primary benefit of Unity is that it runs on literally everything >Porting would only require ticking a few buttons and compiling for another platform, assuming you didn't write platform-specific code >But we only care about Windows right now
Nolan Gutierrez
To be fair, SAP software is complete bullshit and I want to shoot myself every time I have to interact with it. t. someone who uses Crystal at work
Thomas Barnes
Why would I do that? Why would I make things more inconvenient to myself when everything already works fine? I can still larp in other threads about my arch desktop without the need to actually have it.
Cooper Jones
I use libre office. But there is a serious bug when you copy some text from a from PowerPoint to PDF converted document and then you try to copy some other text from the PDF directly beneath it.
Libre office just puts the word "br0ken" into your document and crashes.
I really want to jump to Solus completely, I use it on my laptop but MY shit won't run on it, I mostly play battlefield 4 on my desktop with the odd few steam games.
Solus is great on my laptop though, shame about devs preferring windows. PPSSPP and dolphin both run great.

There are vastly more, and vastly cheaper, monitors that use FreeSync than GSync. NVidia will eventually drop GSync and all that will remain is FreeSync.

All the basic productivity software are available. They might not be the same as you have used before, but we're talking about a completely different operating system here. Only a brainlet would assume everything stays exactly the same.
I think I've provided reasonable enough arguements now to be included in the b8 screenshot.

Tell that to 65% servers, 100% android devices, 99% raspberry devices, countless critical systems and supercomputers, and 2% desktop computers running Linux. It does get the job done for it's users.
Nice parroting. But LibreOffice has significantly improved MSO compatibility in the last year. Not that office software matters. They do the job equally well so compatibility doesn't matter except for docx documents and simple spreadsheets. You wouldn't share anything else with other companies or individuals not working in your company so cross compatibility is irrelevant. Especially since most shared office files are on Google Docs which are multiplatform. So, you haven't provided an argument at all.
Shotcut and DaVinciResolve.
>audio Audio production is better on Linux. Non-issue since it depends on user preference. >video Shotcut and DaVinciResolve. Non-issue since it depends on user preference. >image editing GIMP is fine, Photoshop is wine compatible.

Non-issue since it depends on user preference. >3D modeling Blender is a standard in 3D modeling. Again.. Non-issue since it depends on user preference. >game development Unreal Engine 4 is supported.
All in all, the audio producers, video/image artists, CAD users and game developers added all together are in a minority. So is wrong. The true reason Linux isn't on many personal computers is because it's not pre-installed, and people get used to windows and dislike change. Half PC users don't know how to install an OS and most of them don't know what OS they are running or that alternatives exist
Jace Kelly
Can I run League of Legends on PureOS?

Looks like it works through wine with a little tweaking, so yes. >inb4 lol that doesn't count
Bentley Russell
>I can think of a number of things that can't be done well on Linux >3d modelling Stop talking about things you don't know shit. There's a great tool for 3d modelling on Linux. It's not the software's fault if you're too retarded to use it.

>SAP Definition -What is SAP UNIX? SAP UNIX is the backbone of the entire portfolio of SAP applications and enterprise solutions. Each and every application of SAP is made on the UNIX platform only. From the very beginning of the SAP industry, most customers have been making use of their applications on this very platform and are still continuing to do so. Since it is a reliable platform for most SAP applications, UNIX is being widely used by diverse industry verticals for getting access to more user-friendly and accurate solutions. In the current scenario, commands linked with UNIX are being frequently used in SAP applications for enhancing their performance levels.

Most software development is still done on Windows, retard. And some of the most important pentesting tools only run on Windows - like Nessus and Acunetix, for example.
