Linux users never want to admit how often Linux breaks and you lose everything

Date: June 20th, 2025 9:16 PM Author: unhinged field There are like 3 or 4 types of Linux that either never break, or have a rollback feature that WORKS, or both. OpenSuse is the only one with both as far as I know, but you'll never use it because it's not popular, even though it's the only distro anyone should even consider running as a daily driver.

Date: June 20th, 2025 9:24 PM Author: Floppy tank market linux was never really meant to be a desktop operating system. at least not for people who don't know shit about computers. that was the reason Windows/Mac took off despite *NIX and BSD systems being well-established at that point (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5741033&forum_id=2#49036241) |

Date: June 20th, 2025 9:25 PM Author: unhinged field Right. Moving it to desktops caused demand for constant updates, and the updates break everything eventually. ljl@ people who still ask why no Linux distro lets you automatically install updates.

Date: June 20th, 2025 9:27 PM Author: unhinged field For a while it was genuinely better for just browsing the web, copypasting text and stealing content. Now Windows is at least as good for all of that. If you have an Nvidia graphics card Linux is a disaster at the moment. You have to register as a developer and wait 48 hours for approval from Nvidia before you can download proper drivers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5741033&forum_id=2#49036251) |

Date: June 20th, 2025 9:28 PM Author: Floppy tank market there are nerd evangelists like Richard Stallman but that guy is a genius and he's consistent about his convictions. Losers try to run linux as a daily driver either because they are poor or they are taking a stand against the big bad corporations or something.

Date: June 21st, 2025 8:31 AM Author: cyan free-loading fortuitous meteor why would I run a layer on top of windows instead of just running the layer directly if I don't care about running windows?
the only benefit to windows for me was Games and proton these days takes care of basically every game I've ran in to other than apex |

What you never have is broken display drivers you can't uninstall, or drivers that have to be blacklisted. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5741033&forum_id=2#49036308) |

Date: June 21st, 2025 8:30 AM Author: cyan free-loading fortuitous meteor I never have that in linux because I can always look up how to actually fix shit myself (plus it's easier than ever before now that LLM models have gotten good enough to be very useful troubleshooting partners) and never have to trust some third party app or windows update #29439124 to patch things up and then just live with shittiness when it doesn't work perfectly.

There's legitimately annoying things about windows, but it takes about an hour to get a fresh install working the way you like without popups and shit. LJL @ doing *nix instead.
