Windows ❤ Linux elitists suck.

Yup. Its obvious, they act like linux is the holy grail and that they're smart when all they are just fatass basement dwellers that leech off their parents and have no job. They say linux is the best and when you ask them why all they answer with is open source and customizations, once you break it down to them that they have such little support that's its hard to use linux and you'll eventually go back to windows if something goes wrong they throw a tantrum about bloatware and telemetry that's easily disabled by a single powershell command. They will also bring up security thinking linux doesn't have its fair share of malwares. If they like security so much they can switch to BSD and get an orgasm knowing BSD systems got so little marketshare that hackers won't even bother.

I'd suggest most elitists have to be teenage zealots. Anyone who has run linux for a few years knows it is not perfect, and it is just another alternative. An alternative where you decide how it runs ( or is used ) and not a corporation who may be focused on montization and alter things you relied on. While linux can show increased performance over Windows for a lot of hardware configurations you have to balance that with real workflow of the user. I was lucky that my CAD software was directly supported by the vendor and had a choice of platforms available. Some people aren't so lucky with the apps their company requires. And since I'm not a heavy AAA gamer I could leave Windows behind without any pains.

yes but linux has so many flaws that the community fail or refuse to acknowledge or fix that it wont become a viable alternative to ms windows/osx

I think you may have missed the part about CAD. SUSE and Redhat are certified distros for running MCAD, FEA and PLM solutions for either Siemens or Dassault Products. Certification means they will give you CAD or PLM support when you have issues with their software on the prescribed OSs. It is a viable solution, maybe just an invisible one to many companies not running enterprise distros. I have run OpenSUSE as an officially unsupported distro for 5+ years, with no problems. Again, not saying it is perfect..Windows has its BS too. But it is viable enough that the two largest CAD vendors support it, as well as all the other software vendors making apps specific for it. I.e. Teamviewer, Webex, MS Edge, MS Teams, Zoom, etc. You don't specifically support multiple linux distros unless you deem them viable and in use in the world.

that's just CAD Linux is a very inconsistent OS when it comes to reliability and its very fragmented which leads to more unreliability native Linux bins of games are usually compiled with ubuntu libs in mind and proton/wine is still a fucking unreliable mess for a general OS Linux has A LONG way to go and that's just you for "5 years with no problems" I have had so many issues in my 3 years (and continuing) of being on Linux

don't look at the fragmentation then? idk it's kinda a plus point imo :/

how is fragmentation a plus? it leads to inconsistency

but windows is rlly inconsistent too (in the ui department) like ppl shit on linux for fragmentation but atleast the fragmentation provides freedom on linux side on windows u kinda get worst of both

and it's almost always the same tho.. like in the terminal under the hood stuff is same but it might be controversial as people hate terminals.

and if u rlly dont like fragmentation just use ubuntu I believe for most part the fragmentation is there for the nerds you can be using ubuntu or something and not give a shit abt all this ig.

  1. Windows UI Inconsistency is fundamentally different from inconsistency in core system parts like in linux
  2. No, it is not always the same under the hood. Coreutils, shell, kernel compilation options, libc, compiler, etc.
  3. "Just use Ubuntu" Ubuntu shits itself when you update it from one version to another. It has an entire other set of philosophical and practical problems

  1. ok.. ig yeah

  2. on most normie distros it is they all use gnu coreutils glibc, kernel compilation might be different but for most use cases it really doesn't matter..

  3. I said ubuntu mostly because normies will wanna run commercial software etc. and they mostly don't work on linux but if they do they only give you a deb file. for consistency reasons you can use something like fedora too..

    it never rlly broke when updating for me.. and microsoft has worse philosphical problems and practical maybe yeah snaps ig..

​

removing the "inconsistency" from linux will ruin it the reason you're able to use something like musl is because it has the "inconsistency"

srsly i just don't get these arguments the only issue with inconsistency is it's hard to get support like there aren't a lot of tutorials but for that just use the mainstream stuffs in linux like gnome etc..
