… as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this “incredible” product, and then says in the same breath: “Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?”

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use…

I’m kinda tired of hearing bs like “if only linux was good enough”.

It is. You just have to install and use it.

We’re close. We just need a couple of vendors to step up and take some responsibility.

Steam already picked up all the hard stuff.

Adobe products, Outlook, and of all fucking things Roblox.

I probably also really wouldn’t hurt if somebody could manage to make Nvidia background removal working OBS Linux.

Yeah the Roblox thing is hard to swallow, it used to work better on Linux than on any other platform for me. Everything else there’s alternatives - my local PC shop sells machines at a significant discount “without windows installed”, maybe if more did that the market would take care of things and the software vendors would have to support Linux.

Outlook is turning to shit with the new update, Microsoft is nerfing it hard that it is borderline unusable, it is basically just the web app.

Roblox runs great on Linux, they just explicitly blocked it right?

They added in some anti-cheat stuff that doesn’t play well.

I used Linux daily for 20 years.

Linux may be ready, the mainstream software isn’t.

Are you working with Adobe? Good luck.

Want to play some multiplayer game? Good luck, again.

Oh yes, chrome and Firefox run fine. Just disregard LibreOffice, it’s disappointing.

I’ve been using it for around 30 years on my desktop and haven’t really had issues with it.

That makes you extremely unquallified to determine weather or not Linux is ready for the desktop of the mainstream computer user.

After 30 years you are very familiar with the workings of Linux, meaning you fic issues before the become a problem.

What is way more telling is having a Windows user/gamer just grabing a Linux ISO, burning it to a USB drive, booting the drive, installing the OS, installing Steam, installing games and gaming with zero issues on the first try.

When I started using it, not only was I not familiar with it, but linux was arguably far less ready for the desktop than it is now.
