Can you stop making shit up? I dare you to grab a Linux distro from the late 90s/earlier 00s and run any application that uses GTK1 or Qt1/2 on your Ubuntu 24. Without spending insurmounta…

Oh god. 1. Is Wikipedia _page_ an authority? 2. Does Wikipedia page buy operating systems and software for them? No? That's what I thought. Where's native commercial applications for Linux a…

> You are calling the Xorg X11 Xorg, which is wrong Xorg has been the de-facto X11 implementation on Linux for the past 25 years. First XFree86, then it was superseded by Xorg. You're being ni…

Try to run an unsigned installer in Windows 10/11 and tell me how it worked for you. This is how it works and looks: https://docs.anythingllm.com/installation-desktop/windows…

> Then you acknowledge that what you said earlier was untrue. Where did I? Or something that's available to 0.0001% of its users has become an OS "feature"? Who are you kidding, man?…

Not a single Windows MacOS iOS Android user knows what their display server is and how it works. Xorg is being deprecated and replaced with semi-broken something where tons of functions only work in K…

> I would not call limping along from extreme levels of telemetry, AV and other bloat “works great” 2 billion users don't notice too much "limping" and "telemetry". 1. This…

Linux is not an OS and that's an indisputable fact. An OS must have: * Stable API/ABIs including for the kernel
* Wide software compatibility
* Decent QA/QC
*…

For 99.99999% average people out there none of this utter cryptic crap works even remotely which basically means it doesn't exist. Can you stop with anecdotal evidence? I don't care that you…
comment
Windows gives a semblance of trusted code, also Microsoft sells certificates to developers. Nothing (!) like that exists in the Linux world aside from PGP cross singing which barely any projects use b…

> Saying an ability to run older binaries does not exist is just wrong. For 99.99% of users this "ability" does not exist. End of story. Period. I don't care about hacks on tops of …
comment
> All I’m saying is that a position “desktop Linux can’t into games” is very very wrong in 2024. Ping me when you find a way to play modern online Windows games with a kernel level anticheat. Oh, a…

> You literally have to reinstall windows because of how broken it got, and that's somehow okay? Last time I did it was in the Windows XP SP0 days. > The amount of BSOD I've seen and u…

> That's one way of dealing with it. Windows can be reinstalled, Linux bugs never go away by themselves. > You chose to debug the issue and help. No, people don't do that in Windows be…

Takes literally 2 minutes of Google searching to remove.

1. How many people use Steam Deck or Asus whatever as a desktop OS for running actual productivity applications, doing work, printing and scanning, installing an removing apps, and not just running ga…
comment
You've not read the article at all and it explains full well what constitutes an OS. The Linux kernel is NOT an OS. Any given Linux distro which is not compatible with any other Linux distro or e…

LD_LIBRARY_PATH again? Can you stop for a second and realize your "solutions" are absolute unmitigated crap and 99.999% of people of the world wouldn't bother even if they could? In Win…
comment
Virtualization and sandbox environment code execution have been available for years now in multiple Windows AVs. And it works great. Linux on the other hand has absolutely nothing and it's still …
comment
> This is untrue. You can run old Linux binaries on modern Linux systems if you have the older libraries. Again, 0.01% of people in the world could do it, 0.0001% would do it. That's all you n…
comment
I have no assumptions. Windows is installed on 2 billion PCs, give or take. It works great on them, too. Long gone are the days of malware waves or driver failures that break the system. Linux is on 4…
comment
Could you be specific about what constitutes "a rant"? And no I've spent far less time "fixing" Windows. In fact I don't remember doing that ever. I've had multiple …
comment
Yes, look up the author's name. Look at their contributions to the Linux kernel, GCC, KDE, Wine, and many other projects. A total clickbait for sure.
comment
You cannot statically compile a lot of stuff. Too many Linux libraries are GPLed, and that only works for open source applications. And then one day the underlying libraries will have security problem…
comment
The garbage is a result of me using Linux for almost 30 years and also being an active Linux maintainer. I can vouch for every word in the article except maybe the last section but this discussion alo…
