Linux is not as good (like 90% performance compared to windows, which btw is cancelled out by the fact that windows is bloated) but it works, stop parroting nonsense.
Linux if more efficient than any other kernel, distros consume less resources to run by default
Hardware manufacturer support. Just look at Steam Deck, it's custom made for Linux and even gamers can use it.
This is true if it came by default on machines normies would get used to it, i mean before we had gui normies used computers with msdos, unix and such, don't count on zoomers the majority of them are terminally tech illetrate

Yea, and they'd (See: I'd) much rather use a 1-click button than look up what to do, copy that, paste it, hope its actually the right thing, then use what I wanted.
different refresh rates too but that's an X11 bug/limitation that's been there since 1945
I would say some of the things holding linoox back: >x11 and wayland both being shit >gnome instead of kde >snap >moronic defaults >bad font rendering
eeeeeeh I mean ultimately linux desktop will never happen until all the pieces are brought together under one umbrella instead of the fragmented shit show that it has always been

i'm using two monitors at different refresh rates on x11
i agree they aren't at the same level, the driver in windows sometimes crashes when using solidworks (reliably when using visualize, it's a major problem for me since pv360 was deprecated...)
while on linux it never crashes
>Isnt it amazing that a company who sells GPUs dont want to make a superior driver thus ensuring their market continuity?
Why would they need superior drivers when ever other GPU manufacturer is 5 years behind?
do they actually have better hardware?
if pytorch wasn't basically sucking nvidia's wiener and amd had any drivers at all would there be really such a abyssal difference?
>They provide their own driver which is closed source and which sucks
It only sucks if you're a freetard. The proprietary NVIDIA driver is good, it just sucks that it's closed.
NVIDIA and AMD hate you
they won't even allow you to interface with the HDMI port without using proprietary drivers, the only reason noveau and intel GPUs can do it is by emulating the proprietary chip that does the handshake and faking it. hell intel GPUs actuallt jave a discrete chio in the HDMI ports that pretend to be an NVIDIA HDMI adaptor just to get it working

You shouldn't have to web search how to use the damn thing every time.
it's literally there, we say this everyday and no one listens. The reason no one uses it is because it takes 3 more calories of effort to install because it doesn't come default on any machines. REEEEEEE
>it's literally there, we say this everyday and no one listens
Thats true
Real reason nobody listens is because support loves to rub their teats when using the command line whenever possible despite its completely obsolete now.
Distro fragmentation, patchy hardware/driver support, unintuitive clunky desktop environments with garish color schemes. Don't get me wrong, I run all my home server stuff on alpine/docker but for average joe it's a non starter.
average joe views the operating system and all the hardware as a single thing and doesn't know or care what an "operating system" is many people still call windows "PC" not "microsoft windows"
normal people just want to click on the app icon and for it to do what it's supposed to do
autistic manchildren imagine some kind of rise of the linux desktop where everyone switches to linux but unless you start paying companies to start shipping their computers with linux preinstalled it will never happen because the average person will never install any operating system on their computers in their life time
i use bsd btw
I don't think anyone expects grandma to install Linux. We want microshit and applel to give up on proprietary operating systems and just ship Linux.
Do MS or Apple even consider their desktop OS to be a differentiator at this point? Microsoft runs linux in Azure and Apple literally doesn't even think about OSX anymore, it's all in iOS.
Nice typical thread where windows and macOS normies talk about linux even though they have no idea about Linux. I'm starting to believe the conspiracy theories that there are malicious M$ actors on this board.
I'm white and married dumbfrick, now that I'm out of the ratrace of trying to find a decent woman in the sea of worthless prostitutes, I can finally sit down and get an OS that's fast and efficient as frick (Linux) instead of trying to impress women.
It unironically just works if you buy the right hardware
macos users will claim their os just works but thats only under extremely specific hardware, hackintosh is a mess
if you were to build a computer with only first-class supported pieces, you would barely ever see any issues
t. recently switched to amd from nvidia and everything just works now
likewise nvidia is not supported on linux, and shouldn't be advertised as such. if you are lucky your use-case might fall within the few experimental flows that end up working
At this point it's really just defaults. None of the major OSes are any more stable or "just werks" than the other. For every time linux has driver problems with newer hardware or has shitty drivers because the hardware doesn't provide specs and the open driver is reverse engineered, Windows fricks up an update and won't boot and macOS randomly crashes because your MacBook Pro is a year old and Apple didn't test the latest version on it very much.
Honestly I find Linux the easiest to deal with primarily because once you get it working, it generally stays working. And getting it working can usually be mostly accomplished by waiting 3 months before you consooooom the latest hardware Dell or intel shit out.
It depends on the distribution. Some of them do actually just work and only trolls would deny that. But if you pick a DIY distro and then complain about having to tinker then it's obviously a (you) problem.
windows is 1 moronic man wandering in the desert with all of his dirty and tattered belongings bundled up on his back.
gnu/linux is 100 mice with their tails tied together all trying to run in different directions

Arch has 1 version while Ubuntu/Mint have dozens, the rest are most certainly hidden in this percentage. If you added all of Ubuntu's versions (18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 23.10, 24.04) and outdated point releases (22.04.2, 22.04.3) then it would in all likelihood shoot up above Arch in popularity, but we'll never know.
It doesn't matter, other versions are not even at the end of the list and if somehow what you say is true that would mean Ubuntu is not that popular among normal users as it seems, it can barely win with Arch, an independent distro that is targeted at "experienced" users.
If normies can't figure out how to use linux, or it is inconvenient for them, GOOD! The less normies using linux the better. The moment normies start using linux en masse is the moment everything turns into systemd but worse and then they will screech at you for not going along with it

Let me telly you. Miguel de Icaza was hired by Microsoft to strangle Linux desktops in gradle way back in early days. Miguel made GNOME which fragmented Linux desktop ecosystem and all its APIs and all its window decorations and shortcuts. Later on Miguel was openly hired by Microsoft into comfy reward managerial position.
>De Icaza was criticized by Richard Stallman on the Software Freedom Day 2009, who labeled him as "Traitor to the Free Software Community".[19]
All sorts of things. For example if I let my machine go to sleep there's a 50% chance that the monitors will be set to 1024x768 when I wake it up.

>What's actually keeping linux from "it just works"-tier?
The bugs in KDE, it's a good desktop with features expected by normal ass people. Gnome feels like having both hands tied up while using a PC.
Shit's getting very close.
>having the entire normie Black personcattle software suite matched, down to being a copycat >no weird issues from strawman every time >microsoft not actively EEEing it
Eh, not really. At this point it's DE and for the vast majority that is KDE and Gnome. This means from a user perspective all distros essentially function identically. It's quickly becoming consolidated like Android phones are. Sure there's variety, but it's becoming more Android like where hopping from one platform to the other is different, yet similar.
Still plenty of DEs for people to check out, I recently installed and (barely) configured hyprland. still gotta make waybar not look like shit. Actually the fact I've had 8 DE/WMs installed on this makes me wanna reinstall tbh my home directory is getting wild and god knows where else
Hyprland is my 1st wayland tiling WM and it sucks to have to download a few separate things to replace x11 programs, like gammastep to replace redshift etc
You have to admit though that most people coming into Linux want something Windows or Mac like. Once you get to tiling window managers, you're already in enthusiast territory. Beginner/Normie tier shit is basically KDE(XFCE) or Gnome.

It's easier to Use windows + wsl 2 for access to windows and unix environment for development and targeting of each.
Because of this I usually operate booted into my windows partition with wsl 2, using nushell with both. But in reality it doesn't matter how you solve this issue, just so long as your solution isn't moronic
Tried using Linux for a Month, and nuked it after a week because:
Wayland is undercooked, X11 is shit, Xwayland is mega shit.
GNOME is missing too many features.

Nvidia aint givin up its secrets so that a proper driver can be written by linux enthusiasts
