Feels bad man. I like the features of Linux distros, like having virtual desktops/workspaces, package management, and so on, but every DE feels like bloated shit. There's not enough standardization where it's needed and too much where it's not (see systemd). I'd like a more unified operating system, and as projects die and become legacy software that I really don't want to maintain myself, I crave the way Windows does things. If I have a Windows program, it will potentially work forever. Even AppImage doesn't package everything required, only "less common" dependencies. They'll still break, as will most shit when a bunch of distros switch to Wayland. BSDs sound like the way to go, but I'm not familiar with them. I know the only desktop friendly one is TrueOS, formerly PC-BSD. I dislike the commercial feel of it though. The DE problem remains anyway. Fug. Maybe some day I'll write my own rudimentary DE to use on top of Slackware or some other minimal community distro.

This was brought to my attention earlier today, one of the biggest tech/gaming channels on the internet will be doing benchmarks on Linux gaming through virtualization and Wine variants later this week with someone who knows what he's doing.
As W10 keeps getting worse with constant updates people are going to see this as the superior alternative that it is. I've been following hardware based virtualization for the last 5 years and can see this sort of setup becoming a standard option on gaming computers with customized W10 installs tweaked for gaming in a VM by the end of this decade. You can even avoid paying for W10 as Microsoft provides a free version called Windows PE that can only run for 72 hours.

I've used an old mac PPC for awhile with Linux on it a decade ago, running DOSBox or Wine and a few games that were ported over to PPC was fine at time. Nowadays with QEMU being so good a modern Talos system would be able to do virtualization easily using modern graphic cards and they've tested this out on their previous POWER8 computer using a game engine.

> GNU
An incomplete operating system missing a kernel (the kernel is to the OS what an engine is to a car)
> Linux
An operating system kernel
> GNU/Linux
A complete operating system combining GNU and Linux. And yes, you can use GNU with a different kernel and Linux with a different OS, but what most people mean when they say Linux is GNU/Linux.
With GNU and Linux you have a complete operating system, but you will also want other stuff as well, like a graphical interface, a package manager, all sorts of other useful applications. You could do it all yourself (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/), download the components, compile their source, test it and install everything. Or you could use a distribution by someone who has already done to work for you.
Distributions differ in their approach as to what to bundle together. How much extra stuff do you add? Do you prefer tried and tested, but slightly outdated software packages? How are updates handled? You could always use the newest (rolling release) or have version numbers for the distro. How do you handle non-free software? What about drivers? And so on. A distro gives you a pre-made answer to those questions, so you pick the one that meets your requirements the most. And if you don't like any of them you take the one that's closest and fork it to make it fit your needs.

That's because usually, there is more than one way to do it.
You can remove packages via synaptic, you can do it via cli with apt-get purge, etc.
and that's just for the distributions that go with apt/aptitude.

Nothing in particular, but any sufficiently large and complicated piece of software that you may wish to last a long time will be really hard for you alone to maintain even for personal use due to ever-changing libraries, missing dependencies, possibly lack of comments and documentation, and just being unfamiliar with the code and structure. I've had issues compiling "old" shit due to this, and I'm not even a guy that compiles all his own software. I imagine things will only get worse as more new software replaces the old, like Wayland over X. I do probably spend too much time worrying about future proofing, but I do have legacy Windows software archived and occasionally use it. Not to mention old video games, which I have plenty.

Those are two distinct things. An open source driver can contain a closed source microcode payload that initializes the hardware. That doesn't make the driver closed source. For example, all intel graphics drivers are open source, even though the newer ones require a binary blob to be loaded onto the hardware. This doesn't make the driver itself any less open.

Microcode, by definition, does not run in the kernel.

F. The method for 'de-fucking' your system changes with every update

At least when something on Linux fucks up (I won't pretend it doesn't), I'm given the hard yet sure opportunity to see exactly what's wrong and fix it, and at worst revert to an earlier kernel and distro version. Forget about Win10, Windows 7 gives you jack shit when it fucks up. Just pray and hope you can still run things until Windows 7 completely dies. You're never fixing 10. You can't. Even if you could make one script run that prevents Win10 from doing some small stupid thing, some backdoor update or software check from Micro$hit will reset everything. Again, KYS my man.

Big distros like Debian have pretty much everything under the sun, while something like Arch has much smaller selection(but everyone uses AUR anyway). Also, how up-to-date the packages are. Hobbyist distros like Arch and Gentoo generally have the latest and greatest versions of software available that hasn't necessarily been tested all that thoroughly, while distros meant for servers or professional environment like Debian stable and Red Hat use old and proven versions(that often have security and stability fixes backported to them) that are basically guaranteed not to crash the system. Mainstream desktop distros like Ubuntu fall somewhere in-between.

Love how Linux threads are always so full of videogame discussion, you can see how everyone is posting their screenshots and showing how they got the latest releases (from 2009) to run on Wine, or their perfectly smooth runing Qemu Windows VM to prove all the Winfags how superior they are, not like Winfags who get all their data siphoned, stupid winfags, they only care about running every single game at max settings while having no less than 5 mods hooked into OGL.
When will they be as superior as us fellow Linux admininstrators?

I ain't running one of those. Mine's major problems are Intel microcode updates (necessary to actually fix a thing) and whatever the core hardware's firmware blobs are (camera, sound card, USB, etc). The wifi is an Atheros so no issues there. Intel ME exists on these but is utterly neutered by Libreboot. No BIOS so no way to boot Windows except as a VM (I don't). No Wine, and no closed source programs are allowed.
Also this is in no way a gaming system. It runs some emulators and source ports but most games are segregated into game systems and an offline-only Windows laptop.

Sometimes programs are compiled differently.
Example: firefox's binaries not compiled with alsa even though it's something it can easily be compiled with.

I wanted to try out Kingdom Come with DXVK on Artix but I can't get Vulkan to work at all. I have a HD7970 with the AMDGPU driver but according to the Arch wiki the support for GCN1 cards is considered "experimental". Will I be able to get it to work with the radeon driver instead? I don't really want to mess around with the drivers too much but if anyone else here can confirm that it's possible to run Vulkan on an HD79xx GPU then I'll give it a try.

Because linux, much like environmentalism, is inherently attracting the retarded leftist attentionwhore soyboys who have to virtue signal about being superior to everyone else. Linux is just a meme that is close to overstaying its welcome.

Yes, the operating system the majority of the world's servers run on is going to go away because the few actual hipsters with enough brain cells to download an ISO are going to get tired of using it on their laptops.

Weed is just a relaxing drug. Rick and morty is just a mildly funny show. Tumblr is just a site on the internet. /leftypol/ is just a board. See? I can make the same bullshit argument for anything. Linux is used for servers because it's free. If anyone actually developed proper dedicated OS that's very customizable and demanded little charge for it, then you'd see servers shifting to that OS almost overnight. The fact that they use linux today is out of necessity, not convenience.

I agree. Linux isn't even the end all for servers. A lot of "Linux servers" aren't even running linux, but rather some other unix-like. AIX, *BSD, and, MINIX are used often.

Outright false, larger companies funnel quite a lot of money into Linux through the foundation and other points to see it stay updated to the point that the Foundation is actually too corporate for many peoples taste.

There are more GNU/Linux servers running around than there are UNIX servers. *BSD are also not "UNIX-like", they're straight up UNIX.
