I really don’t give a flying fuck about software privacy or open source anything. I want my computer to work with the software I need for my job, and Linux doesn’t, so it’s a non-viable OS
Shouldn’t you at least understand the reason why it is that way? Or are you going to blame Linux when there’s no single entity behind it?
Microsoft struck shady deals with laptop vendors to make them microsoft exclusive. Steve Ballmer effectively said Linux is cancer (probably blaming GPL license). They let people pirate their software so future technologists grew up with windows and other windows software (adobe did the same with photoshop, now it’s industry monopoly)
A community OS like GNU/Linux competes with Microsoft who has billions in the bank. It’s only in the past few years that Linux has seen wider hardware vendor adoption at all.
It’s fine if you think Linux is non-viable… but speak for yourself. Don’t go around trolling people who are perfectly fine with Linux.
Edit: if you don’t care about anything I just wrote then you’re just a horse with blinders on and I am wasting my time.
It doesn’t matter why it’s that way. It matters that it is. Linux is non-viable in a lot of industries. The Linux Vegans consistently refuse to accept that FOSS alternatives are only alternatives in name. As competing products they’re almost always missing features, functionality and/or performance that the industry leader has. Ask any graphic artist about GIMP vs Photoshop and there’s a pretty clear winner, and it’s not just because of familiarity.
It’s not a fair comparison when you trot out good ol photoshop. Can you find an alternative to blender? Yes you can run blender on windows too. It works flawlessly. Linux being non-viable only affects you and that shill.
It’s definitely a case of you barking up the wrong tree.
