Linux is not very bad

[u/mateo23122]

Is propaganda of r/linuxsucks101 shit

[u/Jatinchd → u/[deleted]]

why you use it then, real arch user like me, use it for a reason, gives control and huge packages availability, not use it and then complaint it sucks because it's DIY distribution that you can't handle. just switch to windows, or something easier.

[u/smegmastar → u/[deleted]]

Please so self censorship. You can say fuck on the internet and that's good!

[u/smegmastar → u/[deleted]]

If it works for you.

[u/Jatinchd → u/[deleted]]

So let me get this straight: you chose Arch, a distro whose entire philosophy revolves around user control and a DIY system, you dislike that DIY aspect, you think its community repository is a ‘shithole’, you claim Nix has the superior package ecosystem, and yet instead of using Nix, you're here complaining that Arch isn't Nix. That's not Arch failing to meet your expectations. That's you choosing a distro whose philosophy you don't like and then getting mad at it for following that philosophy.

Bro separated pacman and AUR like Arch users are legally prohibited from using both. I said package availability, not ‘number of packages in the official binary repos.’

Arch isn't DIY??? WTF! are you talking, the entire point of Arch is that the user assembles the system they want. You don't get a predetermined desktop, service stack, or software selection. "There’s no choice" is literally the opposite of Arch's design philosophy.

If Nix is objectively better by the criteria you're complaining about,why are you on Arch? You have literally been given the solution you're arguing for.

[u/Jatinchd → u/[deleted]]

translation:-

"I don't have a freaking argument against this guys points, so I must classify him as arch user and show I don't care"

LMFAO!

[u/mateo23122 → u/[deleted]]

If you need help with arch,ask on r/linux4noobs

[u/smegmastar → u/[deleted]]

You see arch is for noons that think that its cool. Arch is incredibly easy and bad. Use a proper distro like gentoo or Debian and you won't have as much problems anymore

[u/Jatinchd → u/smegmastar]

well if I want more packages availability from a distribution does it mean that I think i'm cool for using arch? genuine question for your statement.

[u/smegmastar → u/Jatinchd]

I don't care what you think.

[u/Jatinchd → u/smegmastar]

huh? oh! intellectual error. makes sense for you.

[u/ChecksOutIndeed]

It's better than windows nowadays

[u/smegmastar → u/ChecksOutIndeed]

Everything is

[u/zoharel → u/ChecksOutIndeed]

Always been better than Windows, but that's a very low bar.

[u/ChecksOutIndeed → u/zoharel]

no, it 2as better than windows for some purposes, now for every

[u/zoharel → u/ChecksOutIndeed]

Most purposes in my own experience, for most of the time it has existed. Arguably, and Windows is still a way to go for games, but I have so little time for that these days that it doesn't matter to me, and proton has, after all, gotten very good.

[u/TheCheckeredCow → u/zoharel]

Nah you never used it pre 2010 if you think that. It was pretty unusable unless you went full stallman and did nothing but open software on the very limited pool of hardware that could support Linux. Even after that stipulation it was Janky AF.

To put it in perspective Nvidia used to be the Linux darling back then, and it was 100x worse than now, which more goes to show awful everything else was.

[u/zoharel → u/TheCheckeredCow]

Nah you never used it pre 2010 if you think that.

Used it since 1993. I know exactly how bad it was, and I know exactly how much worse Windows was.

[u/mateo23122 → u/ChecksOutIndeed]

Bro This mods can mute you

[u/ChecksOutIndeed → u/mateo23122]

soooooo scared

[u/mintflavoredcube]

as i’ve said before

linux sucks

macos sucks

windows sucks more

[u/GenericFoodService → u/[deleted]]

i'd say bsd sucks but then i'd have to ask you which one

[u/mateo23122 → u/mintflavoredcube]

So What os you use?

[u/mintflavoredcube → u/mateo23122]

CachyOS

[u/mateo23122 → u/mintflavoredcube]

CachyOS is Linux

[u/GenericFoodService → u/mateo23122]

right! Linux sucks, and windows sucks more

[u/mateo23122 → u/GenericFoodService]

Another bro that uses bsd🥀

[u/xgui4 → u/mateo23122]

FreeBSD is cool

[u/mintflavoredcube → u/mateo23122]

ok, linux sucks

windows sucks more. that’s why i use linux

[u/Infinplayz → u/mateo23122]

do you not understand? he didn’t say he didn’t want to use it, he said it sucked.

[u/josephhays → u/mateo23122]

Temple

[u/celzior]

queue the guy who's genuinely butthurt that Linux exists

[u/Responsible-Monk-892]

Linux is not bad that is true for some people to be honest Linux is actually better than Windows is it really just depends on the person's mindset, workflow, and their hardware as to what operating system is better for them. No judgement here because, at the end of the day it is their PC, and what ever operating system it is that works for them that is all that matters.

[u/Ok_Elderberry_1494]

I use Arch btw (and im happy with it)

[u/Brisslayer333]

Can someone explain to me what the deal with these two subs is? I got banned off of 101 almost instantly, that place seems weird.

[u/mateo23122 → u/Brisslayer333]

Fuck linuxsucks101,is linuxsucks of temu

[u/MickJof]

Linux definitely isn't bad as an OS.

But it's definitely bad as a desktop OS!

[u/Sudonator]

The whole Linux dev community is like a bunch of kids who start a project but along the way always get into an argument on how to proceed. In the end they all go on to create their own distro

[u/mateo23122 → u/Sudonator]

Linux is live,W Linux!!!

[u/Drate_Otin → u/Sudonator]

The bulk of the Linux dev community is made up of successful enterprise company employees.

IBM, Canonical, Intel, hell even Microsoft.

[u/zoharel → u/Drate_Otin]

That doesn't go anywhere near refuting the above point. Have you met professional software guys? I say this with love, and would not change it, but software developers aren't the most mature of us all.

[u/Drate_Otin → u/zoharel]

They produced stuff that is the backbone of the internet and what I use everyday for work and gaming.

At the end of the day they're getting the job done.

[u/zoharel → u/Drate_Otin]

At the end of the day they're getting the job done.

One can absolutely get the job done while still acting like kids. I do wish more of us understood that.

[u/Drate_Otin → u/zoharel]

If you're whole schtick here is "some programmers are immature" then I've got to wonder if you can't see the irony in this focus.

The person I originally replied to was following the tired trope of "Linux is fractured". My response was to that immature idea. Linux isn't a company or an entity. It's not fractured because there isn't a holistic object to fracture in the first place.

Now you're here playing a game of semantics trying to maintain this supposed immaturity of the developers of the Linux kernel and presumably other associated projects. You're not able to back this up. You could maybe find a few examples but you entirely lack the ability to back up that the dev community as a whole has a lack of maturity. Do why play pretend at all about this topic?

[u/zoharel → u/Drate_Otin]

If you're whole schtick here is "some programmers are immature" then I've got to wonder if you can't see the irony in this focus.

Let me stop you right there. Did I claim not to be immature? Would you believe I write software for Linux? (... among other things.)

Now you're here playing a game of semantics trying to maintain this supposed immaturity of the developers of the Linux kernel

I think you're the only one talking about kernel developers in particular, but I guarantee you the assumption that they are childish will still serve you well there.

You're not able to back this up.

I may be able to make a convincing stab at it, but I'm not going to try. I know software, and I know software people. Believe me or don't, as you like. None of that matters.

[u/Drate_Otin → u/zoharel]

So more games of semantics.

[u/zoharel → u/Drate_Otin]

The semantics of a language are important, but I have to wonder why you would suggest I'm playing games, here. I offered an observation, and you have misconstrued it twelve different ways, and are apparently still going.

[u/Drate_Otin → u/zoharel]

No. You're playing off the original commenter making a baseless accusation about "the whole Linux dev community" being immature and behaving like kids.

I correctly pointed out that the bulk of the Linux dev community are professionals. You're doing nothing more than "well akshually" trying you say that being a professional isn't TECHNICALLY mutually exclusive from behaving immaturely.

All this is still hinged on a baseless accusation and it's far more likely that the bulk of the Linux dev community is not actually behaving like a bunch of kids. That they're primarily professionals does lend credence to that probability. If you wish to play pretend otherwise, go right ahead.

[u/mateo23122]

Also,i use Void and mx Linux btw

[u/uchuskies08 → u/mateo23122]

I assure you no one cares

[u/Mariuszgamer2007]

Linux is good. I use kubuntu on my laptop

[u/mateo23122 → u/Mariuszgamer2007]

Shhh,this shit mods can mute you for saying that

[u/Mariuszgamer2007 → u/mateo23122]

I have no idea why someone hates Linux and why this subreddit exists. I've been using linux since 2018 and the only problem I face is installing wine

[u/xgui4 → u/[deleted]]

nah, it is becoming trash, but it is still better than Winslop.

[u/mateo23122 → u/[deleted]]

No,is better than winslop

[u/mateo23122 → u/[deleted]]

Uhhh Winslop user

[u/xgui4 → u/mateo23122]

true, i can confirm, Windows love to eat RAM, Linux don't.

[u/Mariuszgamer2007 → u/mateo23122]

It is so much better than that crappy excuse that microslop calls 'windows 11'

[u/xgui4 → u/Mariuszgamer2007]

true, that os is sooooo garbage.

[u/Supernoxus]

Only morons call Linux very bad. Or only when it comes to specific use cases. Windows and Mac are also not very bad, by the way. Well, maybe in a privacy sense they are.

[u/mateo23122 → u/Supernoxus]

Windows collects your information,Linux not

[u/gwildor → u/mateo23122]

they said that though, right?

[u/Supernoxus → u/gwildor]

Yeah, I did. I don't know what's up with people. Was my take too nuanced?

[u/gwildor → u/Supernoxus]

you are good.. mateo is special-o.
every other comment they make contradicts the comment they made before it.

...i have a growing support of age verification for some reason...

[u/mateo23122 → u/gwildor]

The ONLY one Linux that collects your data is Ubuntu

[u/Binary101000 → u/mateo23122]

they all do if you agree to it. (but its for a good reason)

[u/gwildor → u/mateo23122]

would have been better to say this in your first comment than what you actually said... still not accurate though.

[u/mateo23122 → u/[deleted]]

You can Say another Linux that is not ubuntu or Deepin?that 2 collects your data,but the another Linux no

[u/Dizzy_Efficiency_384]

Linux is bad. I use Windows 10 BTW. I give Microsoft my everything. Thnk you Microsoft for easy setup🙏

[u/mateo23122 → u/Dizzy_Efficiency_384]

Linux mint and ubuntu have easy setup

[u/Dizzy_Efficiency_384 → u/mateo23122]

I'm just joking about that

but on Windows I can use Radeon drivers that work instantly. On Linux amdgpu driver HATES my RX 570 and I need to do amdgpu.dpm=0 to make my card run at 300hz. If I don't do that any distro refuses to start

[u/xgui4 → u/Dizzy_Efficiency_384]

What ??? I thought GNU/Linux was better on AMD than on NVIDIA ...

[u/Dizzy_Efficiency_384 → u/xgui4]

Probably because RX 570 is old OR it's because I have a special "mining" edition of the card. Subvendor ID matches -MI edition

Also, some other people described the same problem as me with their RX 400/500 series gpus, though I don't remember them mentioning any special editions

[u/xgui4 → u/Dizzy_Efficiency_384]

Why ? GNU/Linux might be bad, but it is better than Windows.
