Actual problems with linux
>OP is a cock sucking faggot as usual
okay but what distro are you using
i think the biggest problem with Linux is that developers aren't compensated in any way so they either work for free (cucks) or they resort to being a bunch of LGBTQIA+PEDO+ZOO++ grifters for donations.
imagine if they could actually apply for some kind of benefits from the government if their software is popular.
You can only get benefits from the gov if your software is useful to them, and I don't think they'll be needing new GUI's any time soon
if those microniggers provided anything they wouldn't need WSL
just make it paid and source available
...
oh wait you can't do that because your trannyware wouldn't be any better than free alternative some pedo cuck makes LOLOLOLOLOL
*bsd are pointless since almost nobody uses them on the desktop so you get 0 support for everything
also freebsd is troonified now and openbsd is just for firewalls

Open source developers should stop catering to memes and schizos and have telemetry in their programs so they don't essentially work blind on a project.
99% of people don't care that someone else knows that they run $SOFTWARE_VERSION on $DISTRO with $SOFTWARE_SETTINGS or a stack trace after a crash.
Ideally there would be a universal telemetry protocol made that streamlines the whole process. The client gathers all the telemetry data from the programs and sends it all out when the computer is idle or in light use, so that nobody has to deal with performance issues because of it. This way anyone would be able to host a universal telemetry server for anyone to use, I imagine the Linux Foundation and a bunch of individuals would be willing to provide the developers with free hosting.
Of course you can still be a heckin' privacymaxxing hackerman and disable it.
linux users need to stop hating on proprietary so much i think...
It may have been a problem a long time ago but with the amount of libre tools, docs and knowledge that allow you to create any software you want it's no more. These days if the standard proprietary program is flawed you can just make an alternative one.
Also, malicious instructions hiding in the binaries are not a problem since sandboxxing exists - which should be the default everywhere by the way, and the fact that most open source software is not thoroughly verified whether its malicious unless it's security critical or under suspicion
>These days if the standard proprietary program is flawed you can just make an alternative one.
You should definitely take a look at all of the open source Discord clones that people have tried to make solely because they're just too afraid of going back to using IRC, Mumble, and XMPP clients (Discord eats more memory than all 3 of the top clients altogether!)
An entire OS and it's ecosystem is a very complex problem that's just impractical to tackle by a bunch of uncoordinated hobbyists most of whom are teenagers
>IF You don't like any of them you can make your own
I already have IRC, Mumble, and XMPP clients that serve me well. No need!
>An entire OS and it's ecosystem is a very complex problem that's just impractical to tackle by a bunch of uncoordinated hobbyists most of whom are teenagers
this
big scale technology requires big scale manpower to function properly
>awful software distribution, especially for proprietary
The majority, if not the entirety of modern Linux relies on the Internet to work.
Modern Linux distros aren't casually giving/selling software repositories in offline DVD/USBs anymore. It's up to the user now if they want an offline Linux..
Everything is reliant on the repositories. If they cannot be access for ANY reason, you're fucked if you need to do anything in relation to packages.
Portable software on Linux also has its own problems. While on Windows we can just shove .exes into a folder of our choice and run a minimalist Windows with maybe a USB containing our toolkit, this is an extremely difficult practice to pull off on Linux, especially if you:
Use a distro that is not mainstream
Want to use software that might be slightly newer or older than your distro
Want prioritize minimal use of system resources
idk bro
ironically linux is more centralized than the corporate windows
> b-but you can change the repo urls!
not an argument
So if Linux is so shit then what are you supposed to use? I'm not going to tardwrangle windows 7 and windows 10 is full of telemetry.
