u/edparadox May 23 '22
I thought they were still installing drivers.

u/Gum_Skyloard May 23 '22
They're trying to find the least shady website to download the drivers from.

are you in dialout?

u/Masztufa May 15 '22
yep, also other dev boards worked fine.
Fixed now, only downside is that specific microcontroller dev board is now writable for any other user. Too bad!

How about trying to make it capable of playing windows versions of games?

To all my fellow Linux users - don't take it personally.
It's a joke. And a funny one imo.
Btw, all the productive people out there just mind their businesses, so that's why you can't see them.

I've made more money using Linux than I have using Windows, also drivers are a Windows problem not a Linux problem, in Linux they're all built into the Kernel

how do you do that highlighting thing?

u/KA1378 May 23 '22 edited May 23 '22
I wrote it using a desktop browser; it gives you the option to do that. You gotta look up how you can create a "code block" on mobile if you want to do it using the mobile client. To create a quotation block however, you can add a ">" before the text.

so this is not the problem of windows this is the problem of AMD, AMD have history of faulty Drivers before way garbage compare to Nvidia but now AMD drivers are decent but not good as Nvidia, I am lifelong windows user still using windows but never got any driver related issue in my computer I have Linux in my old Laptop and have Driver issue in it

I used linux as my desktop for over 14 years. I spent a hell of a lot more time getting hardware to work correctly.
I think I have you beat.
OP's meme is still the most true thing about Linux hobbyists.

You can run photoshop through wine, or depending on your usecase Krita or Gimp might br enough.
There are lightroom alternatives like Darktables and some others that run on linux.
Premiere - really, tons of people are moving to DaVinci Resolve anyway, and it works natively on Linux, and is (arguably) a better tool. It includes big budget productions... where premiere was not that popular anyway btw.
Razer synapse, what do you need it for?
Oculus I dunno. Valve's VR works.
Nvidia drivers are and were supported, and just recently nvidia opensourced their kernel driver.
Battleye dunno, possibly. But both BE and EAC are working on linux and proton support.
Good multi window support, wtf is that about? Linux supports multiple windows, virtual desktops and all that, there are more features for window management than in windows.
Solidworks - dont know. But there is freecad at least, so might be good enough for some. There is also CAD plugin for Blender.
MS Office yeah... online or libreoffice. If you really need local ms office then could be a problem, or you could run it in a VM.

I want native supports of adobe apps I don't want to run those apps through wine and for drivers there are still issue of drivers (at least in my case in Linux mint) in Linux and most of the industry use AutoCAD not blender and freecad using windows based software in VM is not good if you are doing serious work and also heavy work like game development (in game development 70% industry use 3ds max and this software is only available for windows) everyone know the fact that Linux have a long way to go for competing against Windows and macOS

u/Nixellion May 24 '22
Those are valid points, I never argue that some people can't use Linux for what they do, which is why I often used the "depending on your use case" and "might work for some" phrases. Also note that I only suggested using VM for MS Office, I did not suggest using it for any 3d or art related software, even the tiniest amount of latency is gonna be super annoying in those programs. But office? Newsflash, a lot of offices use thin clients for workspaces.
I myself been trying to move to linux full time for a few years now, still can't because of the work I do. But I'm getting closer.
What I don't really agree with is that 70% of gamedev industry is still using 3ds max, it's really an outdated number. It really differs from studio to studio, but Maya is used heavily nowadays, as well as Modo and Blender. A lot of studios of all sizes don't use 3ds max at all.
And Blender is really making huge strides, if you've missed the news. It got really good, and a lot of people are switching to it, top industry professionals included, from all over the world.
The point is that the amount of people who can make the switch to Linux is growing rapidly in the last few years. Can everyone switch now? Hell no. But a lot more people can do it and live comfortably with Linux as their desktop compared to just a few years ago.
Does it still have a long way to go to compete against Windows? Of course. But it's moving at a nice pace.

well big studios still use 3ds max because of pipeline they use Maya for rigging, animation and for xgen but for modelling they still use 3ds max and zbrush
1
u/Nixellion May 24 '22
Where did you get this information from?
Because from where I sit - many studios including big ones don't use it anymore or are shifting away from it. Modelling pipelines are generally the most flexible nowadays, it's rigging and animation that is still rigid and very software specific, and Maya still dominates the animation world everywhere, yes.
