Some people like you and I actually switch to Linux, but we’re the 4% and we need to remember that.

I don’t think something needs to be identical to Windows to be a good replacement for it.

I said drop in replacement

Wider application support would be a start.

No organization is willing to pay companies to support Linux

Some distributions and parts of modern Linux systems can be unnecessarily complex or downright esoteric. Some features like HDR have very poor support, and are difficult to enable/setup where they are supported.

That’s because organizations like the Linux foundation primarily serve enterprise and server customers, they only need a good enough UI so that’s what desktop users get. Nobody is paying money for Linux and few people donate.

It’s also difficult for developers to publish to Linux because of the wide variety of different Linux systems. Flatpaks and snaps help with this obviously but have divisive in the Linux community for one reason or another.

That’s because the current system allows distribution maintainers to decide if they want their distro to be bleeding edge or stable.

TLDR: Desktop Linux users get the scraps of enterprise and server Linux

The problem is the average user won’t use Linux unless it comes included with their PC.

That’s because what people need to understand is that fundamentally Linux is not a drop in replacement for Windows, its not some open source copy. It’ll never have full software compatibility, it’ll never run the same, it’ll never look exactly the same, and it’ll never be the same. The sooner people accept that the sooner people understand what their options are. For me that’s an advantage, I like the UI on DEs like Cosmic, I love the Unix filesystem, I love the terminal and how powerful it is, I love package managers, and I love the customizability of it all.

Me fr :3

The Microsoft cycle:

Microsoft does thing nobody likes -> people complain -> some people threaten to switch to Linux -> a few of those people do but most people don’t -> They make some excuse and claim that once Linux reaches some arbitrary milestone they’ll switch (Adobe support, better game support, better software support, etc) -> most of those people forget (they’re a minority, the vast majority of people never cared) -> Microsoft notices and they became even more emboldened to make their products worse -> repeat

If you want change then you need to break the cycle

“Think we want”

I don’t know about you but I’ll gladly take the house on the top (also as a Transfem the lab is nice but I’m Asexual so that bedroom is exclusively for sleeping and Blåhaj).

Very cute :3

But if sleepy where Blåhaj?

Killing happens outside the boarders but violence happens to everyone, the Israeli government is also more then willing to kill a few Israelis who ask too many questions. They even violently assaulted a parliament member for asking too many questions.

Please do not the crab

You look beautiful :3

Oh no that’s horrible, where is this house… So I can avoid it :3

Nuh uh :3

I’m saying internally, they call themselves a police force for external (aka public) relations. Internally they feel no need to use pretty language.

I actually worked there as an intern (unpaid of course).

The NYPD does not internally call itself a “police force”, its always “paramilitary organization” or similar.

Yipeeee :3

They also use bad faith arguments, misleading information, disinformation, and intimidation to enforce their anti-worker agenda.

Literally me fr :c
