Why can't linuxtards just come together to make one final version instead of having a bajillion distros? I understand that not everyone will get EXACTLY what they want, but it's better to focus efforts on making it as good as possible instead of time, energy, and effort being wasted on separate designs.

Microsoft manages to control most of the market even though it's not perfect.
Windows is not open source though
they bought out half the market and paid off the rest
I am happy because linux filters out any normoid that doesn't have an attention span longer than 5 minutes to learn a CLI.
Microsoft is getting fricked anyway by smartphone zoomers and as time goes on it gets worse with more and more centralization and subscriptions bullshit to push away customers.
>I am happy because linux filters out any normoid
>Nooooo why linux doesn't have marketshare noooo why companies don't want to spend time making their software compatible on my troonix XYZ distro
Linux would need like atleast 50% market share for those israelites to consider linux builds which is never going to happen even if windows died for some reason cuz Black personcattle would go to macos or some other goyOS that would appear
An OS is a platform and they'll pick the one that supports their homosexual apps.
In the 80s/early 90s we had secretaries who mastered DOS commands just fine. Nobody who isn't willing to put in effort to operate a computer should be using one
This is why I've spent the afternoon trying to get my mouse to work properly. Haven't made any headway.
slackware 12 was the final version
Will it still run? What happens with firefox 2? Things still work, right?
this is the fatal flaw of anything that's free and open source. When there's no profit motive, there's no motive to fully polish a product. Instead you just get 9 million branches off of the same plant.
>the biggest thing keeping this from from being the year of the Linux desktop is... Linux
And this is what makes Linux a hard choice for newcumers.
>Kubuntu
>Xubuntu
>Lubuntu
>(may Allah forgive me) Ubuntu
Wow, such a hard choice
that's true. if you point out a bad design decision to a DE dev he'll straight up just tell you to use something else or make your own DE. if a bunch of people stopped using their software overnight, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to the dev. there is no incentive to copy features from other DEs, because that's "their way", not "our way". so your only real solution is to trade one shitty DE for another DE that's shitty in some different way.
Why would you want to? with so many software combinations with different advantages/disadvantages. different distros try to offer different thing to different user at different proficiency levels. I would say personally let Endeavor OS be the one linux distro, however if you are a casual Ubuntu or Linux Mint user that might still be too hard. I remember having that very same fustration (for years) because the different distros use different software in their stack , a solution that works on one distro doesn't always work on another. This lead you to question why not have one main OS that uses the linux kernel? and as you learn more about how some distros work and the software that makes up it's stack you can have a better idea which software is failing and find solutions specific to that service or software. You would have to read up on your distro. On their site they are usually quick to tell which Desktop Environment (DE) is used, which user space (core-utils; usually gnu but sometimes busybox). If are running Xubuntu
and you KNOW that your DE is XFCE
and your window display errors out,
revealing it to be a DE error,
the fix you find online no longer would have to be Xubuntu specific for you to find it useful.
For the rest of us who don't want to dedicate our lives to learning Linux OSes (after all that isn't reasonable) I recommend Linux Mint it served me well for many years and Ubuntu forums solutions apply to it a good % of the time.
For the desktop, it’s Pop!_OS
That's the whole point niger. You're supposed pick the components you want. Otherwise it's just the same as any other corporate product like windows and MacOS.
>why can't all the people of the world just come together to make a one world government which implements the best set of policies? i understand that not everyone will get exactly what they want, but it's better than all these wars
why should anyone give up their freedom for your dystopia?
Because people want to do things their own way.
>No! They have to do things MY way!
Why? Who died and made you the linux king? I doubt you even run linux, let alone contribute anything to it.
>here's the final version of software distri-
>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
>autists eternally assblasted over 2GB
We already have that, it is literally Ubuntu. Anyone who argues with me is just incorrect.
Linux Mint you mean.
i wish everyone would use archlinux like me
Given the stereotypes around Arch and its users, no.
yeah they are all moronic, i use it because it gets out of my face and i don't really think about it.
i use windows too anon... why such agression?
One day my hexes will reach you ...
i use gcc on windows 10 pro 😉
Same ... I wish I could psychically cause damage to anyone using Widows or Mac.
Haiku is basically this approach: Throw out all competitive notions and collaborate on a SINGLE end product. There will likely eventually be haiku forks, but haiku is intended to be unified. It's working out pretty well for it, aesthetically, imo.
why don't they just defeat the entire purpose of the space, standardize and render the entire space into what android is now? Is that what you're actually asking? I would actually be mad right now if I didn't feel so bad for how stupid you are.
You type a lot. I didn't read and so didn't many others. good luck getting IQfyusers to read anything when you write essayish gibbersh on twitter blog post like platform IQfy. Stupid moron.
>1 line of informal speak is a mental challenge that i can't sustain
Why can't cartards just come together to make one final version instead of having a bajillion makes and models? I understand that not everyone will get EXACTLY what they want, but it's better to focus efforts on making it as good as possible instead of time, energy, and effort being wasted on separate designs.
If in doubt always install Arch, you will have everything Linux community can offer. If you are normie just stay on Windows.
Why can't bill microsoft just make one single final version of windows instead of, what, 11 now? Just make one windows and be done with it.
How many Windows distros are there?
Don't worry, I'm working on the definitive distro.
Why can't every restaurant just turn into a mcdonalds so nobody has to spend time choosing which goyslop outlet to eat at?
We all know that Taco Bell will be victorious in the Franchise Wars.
What's the point of 100 programming languages?
Just write in binary, computer only speaks binary bro.
why can't we all just get along (by everyone doing what i tell them to)?
Making a new distro is easy. You could fork Ubuntu, change the wallpaper and call it gaybuntu. In reality there are pretty much only as many different distros as there are different package managers. Every distro that uses the same package manager as something else is just the same shit with a different logo. You're drastically overestimating the duplicate efforts. People don't reinvent the wheel every day, they just paint it.
It’s called arch.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
leunuchs is fundamentally rotten to its core, and it has partly to do with its divisive anti-freedom license
don't pretend like that's anything new. the bsds, promintently openbsd has always done this and delivers a polished single end product. open source doesn't suck, the troonix ecosystem does. my hate for linux devs is immeasurable after being immersed within the circus for years. the political woke stuff is only the tip of the iceberg
It's called Ubuntu, and it fricking sucks ass
Try and please everyone and you will please no one.
mcrib
because since anyone can make a linux distro essentially, even if we had 1 of them given around a year there will again be hundreds. Its like asking why would people fork git projects and extend their functionality. Answer: many distros exist because they can
But anon, there is one final version. Pic related perfected the linux desktop
I can understand shilling Wayland, one can be moronic after all but what kind of schizo is using Gimp instead of Krita on KDE powered system?
I dislike kritas text implementation
I did not care for it
>Arch
yes
>KDE, gayland, gimp
lol, lmao even
a.. a.. fricken spongebob meme of.. linux desktop environments?
many such cases
it's over
All the mainstream distros already have all the features that 99% of people will ever need. They are all already feature complete just in a different flavor. There is no need to focus on one "final version" because they are all final.
