@LivingSpaceStudios @dj @charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Amen to that.

The Arch team does a great job too.

Funny that RH and Canonical are the ones dropping the ball on the desktop space constantly lately with their silly policies.

@pyrate @charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs >>I feel that Microsoft has nerfed their own production suites by requiring O365 subscriptions and mandating all of your data be backed up on their cloud, One Drive.

Yep, I'm under the impression the old guard is retiring and the people replacing them is not as "knowledgeable and hard working" as the old guard was, they are slipping in the GUI and compatibility areas a lot lately.

Specially with the GUI after peaking with Win7 and since Win8 the Windows GUI is regressing hard with each release, getting rid of the good'n'old control panel is a retarded decision of the utmost dimension.

Same with requiring Windows point and click engineers to now have to type commands in power-shell for basic functionality because they can't bother to add a button somewhere and everything has to be a web page when they had the excellent mmc platform already for system settings that you could operate remotely via RPC.

@HonkHonkBoom @charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs If you need a piece of software that only runs on Windows, sadly you need Windows. That is what it amounts to. I do not know anybody who runs Windows and claims: "Wow I couldn't do my work without Windows".

@KK954 @HonkHonkBoom @charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Nothing wrong with that, it is like you driving a Ford and me raving about a Toyota... if you car get's you where you need and it is cost effective for you, great.

Now if you need a helicopter to get to a hill, well it has a learning curve and requires different maintenance isn't? What we can't do is pretend a helicopter can drive on the motorway.

Can a helicopter get you there faster than a car? the answer is depends.

So yeah, what you should do is remain critical, be aware there are alternatives, and if at some point you think Windows is not working for you remember there are alternatives, and that some annoyances aren't end of the world, just don't assume Ford is a Toyota or a Helicopter and you'll be fine.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Because things don't happen in a vacuum, Personal computers wasn't the realm of academy where the FOSS movement began.

There was a legacy of 20+ years of proprietary software on the PC platform running DOS, that ecosystem of productivity software jumped to Windows many years before Linux even existed.

It is called market inertia, for Linux to usurp Windows it would have to be not just good, but better at being Windows than Windows.

A pretty hard bar to jump, and a pointless endeavor (check Android)

If you are happy with Windows, be my guest, I'm happy for you.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs I have encountered plenty of situations where people using Windows, Cisco, MacOS, or any other proprietary platform couldn't solve a problem and I had to either write build and compile a C program, put a Linux box in the middle, or configure the device for them. And I am not a Windows user, a MacOS user nor a Cisco certified engineer.

You either have the mindset to overcome annoyances and solve problems and inconveniences... or use whatever product you find better for you.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Dude, I have been using Ubuntu since I moved full time to Linux in 2011, and 1.5 years ago I moved to Arch building the system from scratch, I was still running Ubuntu until I mastered Arch enough so everything I need works like a ticking clock, the only problem that I have encountered was that stupid bug in recent systemd versions that prevents your machine to suspend if you're using NFS mounts, and the fix was trivial (although it took me a lot of reading to figure where the problem was) Other than that, flawless experience.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs This is a pointless discussion, a regular user would be using a friendlier distro like Ubuntu or Mint or Pop_OS! and use whatever software packages the distro provides, exactly like on Windows or MacOS, a regular user will never deploy his OS from scratch in a command line terminal building something like X or the DE from source and then write the configuration himself.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Used to think like that, until you haven't been in the situation where rebuilding a package/app can save your ass.

I'm not implying compiling shit is right for everybody (Again go use Windows if it works better for you, nothing wrong with that) I'm saying it is a useful thing to have, and whether you like it or not building an app is part of the Unix-like/based/inspired OSes. You are free to dislike it.

@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Now you are going to tell me the USB bus is bound to the refresh rate. 🤦

@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Most people care about the most is input latency, the fact that removing vsync on Windows improves input latency is anecdotal.

I was as surprised as you.

@Suiseiseki @charlie_root @dcc @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs >>Personal experience - I can tell the difference between the added latency of vsync and unfettered frames.

I have had to contend for years with X.org keeping both my monitors at 60hz because it doesn't support monitors with different refresh rates.

I'm still on X.org, my old 60hz monitor died and replaced it with another 120hz, that is how I fixed the problem.

@Suiseiseki @charlie_root @dcc @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler Listen while what you say is true, what you are engaging on is called pedantry.

We're not discussing an OS at the low level detail implementations but as a platform and "Linux" as much as I respect and admire Stallman is how imperfect human beings refer to operating systems based on the Linux kernel.

@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs > I'm curious where you got the proof that it was (and is) faster then those or Wayland.

Ask any FPS gamer, they will tell you wayland has much lower noticeable input latency.

@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler What you call an OS is a combination of programs, and last time I checked there aren't many alternatives with as many programs and hardware support as Linux.

I'm open to suggestions.
