Chicken and egg problem. You buy the console that has the most games you want.
People have been hoping it will be the year of desktop linux since the start.
People love to complain about the support or availability of software yet most of them do jackshit to actually improve it.
I can do what I want on Linux, it works great for me. Does that mean everyone should use it? At this point I don't really care. I advocate for software to work on Linux, but if it doesnt work them whatever, I'm not vendorlocked into any program. -
I think nowadays there’s not much to complain about. There’s many interoperable ways to install an app, evolution of machines made it so that static binaries are more common, Valve’s Proton is working like a charm, Nvidia makes almost good Linux drivers, 95% of most user’s activities happen in a bowser, or otherwise, on an Electron app. The only thing left really is a standard way to share screen, but a year or two ago, it was not working properly on MacOS and Apple lovers were still bragging that it was the best OS on earth.

@daniel-wu because adobe are cunts and microsoft is paying them to get exclusivity contracts. Same thing with AAA games

> This is why people hate Windows and want Linux to step up and be good, but it can't happen because of "diversification". So many distros, just fucking pick one standard and stick with it for fuck's sake. This is why apps are not optimized for Linux.
Not entirely unfounded. But some apps are doing it the right way, just don't depend on anything distro-specific. Support debian, arch and manjaro or whatever and you will catch 90% of linux users, the rest of them being sufficiently tech savyy to find a workaround.
I'm gonna piss off the Linux users with this one and I don't care anymore.
Linux will never be able to match Windows and Mac software quality. Tell yourself all you want that it is superior for development purpose (which it is) but don't tell yourself that is an Operating System.
It's more like an Operating Environment, where I can run some apps, but not all apps, which defeats the purpose of an OS.
Writing code is fine, but the second you dive into apps like OBS Studio, the machines shits it's pants like b2plane does on a daily basis.

Windows and Mac have standardization which is why I can fucking be productive with it.
"I use arch btw" yeah you do, but what can you do with it?
FUCKING NOTHING !!!
Linux is like that one loser friend who people want to see turn things around, but the fucker won't make it happen because they don't want to help themselves in the first place.
