From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Really the only thing that I miss on Linux is creative cloud stuff. Yeah, gimp and inkscape cover 80% of the functionality of PS and Illustrator right out of the gate, and I bet I could get to 90% if I sank a bunch of hours into learning the differences. Which is amazing for open source software.
But there's a gap when you have a team of dedicated and highly paid developers and hordes of creatives testing everything out and demanding progress that's going to be hard to overcome.
sometimes that's right, but other times it fires back. like in autodesk software, it turns into a money making machine. because they're the industry standard for more than a decade now, they just pump out new version every year with barely any changes and deliberately not forward compatible. so you just pay more every month, because everything is subscription based now.
That's fair. Another example of what you describe that I'm more familiar with is Epic (medical records software). My hypothesis is that the differences that matter are:
Could be lots of other reasons too, but these are the ones that jump out at me.
And I have a wifi dongle that works on Windows but not on Linux so... PBBBBBBBTTTTTT
Why are you trying to find opportunities on every comment to bash (no pun intended) Linux on a Linux community?
If you don’t like it then just leave.
If you want a circlejerk piss back off to reddit and get to wanking.
Yes, I am.
It's tolerance for willful stupidity that I lack.
Yes, you're quite the intellectual. I bet all your friend tells you that all the time.
Dude. Calm down. I’m literally just asking a question and giving you an answer based on the way you’re talking about Linux.
No, you're literally just being an elitist asshole that wants to swim in a sea of your own fartwater, free from anyone telling you that your shit stinks. This sort of attitude is the very reason Linux is still half-assed garbage for anything other than the most basic computing tasks or dedicated environments where a staff of people is paid to manhandle it.
If you don't like reality, you fucking leave. Ketamine might help.
Ok dude wtf I’m literally just trying to be honest with you and you just tell me to “Keep Myself Safe” (kid friendly kys)? How do you fit into society? People will disagree with you every turn you take in life, and you would just tell them to take Ketamine? No, I refuse to take advice from someone is more disconnected from reality than you’re believing I am, and also, how am I being an elitist asshole when I’m trying to ask a question? That’s like a teacher asking a student a math question and then the student calls them a facist. Clearly you don’t like Linux or it’s community and you should just leave, nobody wants or is forcing you to stay here with people “free from anyone telling you that your shit stinks.”
Are you even literate? Because you seem to be reading a lot of shit I didn't fucking type.
Take your fucking meds, dude, and stop posting until you do.
I am literate, thank you very much. Plus, I don’t have meds to take, and yes you did type a lot of stuff I read and responded accordingly to your attack of a comment telling me to “take Ketamine” <- You typed this btw (shocker😮). Also, am I supposed to go word by word to your comment like it’s an article? I’m not stating many quotes because it is drawn from a conclusion on the way you are harshly criticizing Linux (on a Linux community nonetheless) and how you are attacking the community when they just ask you to leave a place you clearly don’t like.
