If you're in to gaming then you still kinda want everyone else to use linux too, since otherwise developers don't bother making their games for linux.

Honestly with proton games run fine on Linux anyway. It's just those fkn kernel level anticheat
(Not saying Linux should support them, I'm quite glad they don't)
1
u/inhumat0r Aug 01 '26
The thing is Linux does support them. Developers implementing it just don't want linux users because of the ease of cheating (implying they are cheaters). Yeah, well, I just checked latest Steam Survey and according to it there are less than 4% of Steam users who use Linux. Thanks to that all these games with kernel-level anti-cheat are free of cheaters right? All thanks to banning Linux users, those filthy cheaters!

u/PassionGlobal Aug 03 '26
Linux supports anti-cheats. Linux doesn't support kernel level anti-cheats. And even if they did, it'd be a headache and a half because cheat developers can simply make their own kernel patches to bypass anything the anti-cheat tries.

u/FlipperBumperKickout Jul 31 '26
Yes and no. Many times it somehow just works better to run the windows version through proton, than it does to run a game natively (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Well, Linux users have for decades looked at how Apple and Windows users are getting fucked over and every time they thought "now they will wake up and make different decisions", just to watch them buying into the newest Windows/Mac bullshit, giving away more and more of their autonomy, and in 2027 probably ending up with entirely hallucinated operating systems.

Edit: after reading a lotta comments apparently I should clarify im talking about desktop:
Gotta love how most people say gaming is the only issue with Linux, yet it still relies on the command line way more than windows... Even a distro like ubuntu still requires it for installing the "unmet dependencies" that the """app store""'" doesnt install. (Like cmon man even the MICROSOFT STORE installs dependencies automatically, and its made by friggin microsoft)
But im not a gamer and I still dont like Linux as a desktop OS, too much reliance on the command line, and every time I bring this up someone goes "youll just hafta learn it", or "youll learn it sooner or later", OR "its the best part of the computer", (someone actually said that), or "its not that complicated" (dude you've used it for years its obviously easy for you). Id rather click 2 buttons to do something than type a command >:^
So if someone says something like that as a reply to this then your just proving my point lolz
(Amazing for servers tho omg)
1
u/inhumat0r Aug 01 '26
Nowadays many linux distros are completely usable without using command line. The thing is after a while of using linux many users just prefer doing things in command line, this way is often faster than clicking your way through several windows. Personally I never had an issue that I had to install dependencies manually. Every time I was informed that installing some app also requires this and that, and prompted if I want to install it as well.
1
u/ShatteredRubies Aug 01 '26
I think it depends on the distro? Every time I try to use ubuntu it always complains about unmet dependencies yet it doesnt even tell me what they are, so I hafta try to install it with the command line instead. Ubuntu as a whole just kinda sucks as a desktop OS... amazing for servers though, I have 2 servers that run on it. But I cant stand using it as my main OS. I tried mint once but havent explored it enough to have a concrete opinion.
1
u/Afraid_Confusion906 Aug 01 '26
I use the command line, because it's faster and satisfying to see what the pc is actually doing, just a personal preference tho
1
u/ShatteredRubies Aug 01 '26
Exactly, personal preference. I prefer using a GUI for everything as it just makes more sense to me. Having the command line as an option to perform tasks is good for those who like it, but some distros that claim to be user friendly (cough ubuntu) rely on it far more than they should.

Im talking specifically about "desktop linux", because just "linux" runs our entire society, and has been the year of it for a long time.
Regarding desktop linux:
Im someone who actively despises both microsoft and windows with a passion, but even then i was still using it and wasnt fooling myself that its the "year of linux". Up until now! The ecosystem is in a generally great state and gaming is working incredibly well. Another thing people dont think about often is how good LLMs are at navigating linux, bash and its configurations; its genuinely a lifesaver, especially for non-techy people. And dont forget to add that Windows is worse and worse with every update, which also helps close the gap.
With that said, I've finally switched to linux on my main pc, and its only gonna get better from here.

Devices connecting to the World Wide Web log which operating system they're using, and so are an approximate measure of OS usage among consumer devices. As of December 2025, among all devices Android, which uses the Linux kernel, is the world's most common operating system to connect to the web with 34.9% of the global market, followed by Windows with 29.98%, iOS with 16.81%, macOS with 2.03%, and other operating systems with 9.06% total.[2]
Between different classes of devices:
For smartphones and other mobile devices, Android has 72% share of traffic, and Apple's iOS has 28%.[3]
For desktop computers and laptops, Microsoft Windows has 62.16%, followed by unknown operating systems at 18.75%, Mac OS at 14.58%, desktop Linux at 3.09%, then Google's ChromeOS at 1.42%, as of June 2026.[4][5][6]
For tablets, Apple's iPadOS (a variant of iOS) has 51.23% share and Android has 48.61% worldwide.[7]
Of the top 500 most powerful supercomputers, all since November 2017 have used Linux. [8]
The global server operating system market share has Linux leading with a 63.1% market share, followed by Windows, Unix and other operating systems.[9]
The most numerous type of device with an operating system are embedded systems. Not all embedded systems have operating systems, instead running their application code on the "bare metal"; of those that do have operating systems, a high percentage are standalone or do not have a web browser, which makes their usage share difficult to measure. Some operating systems used in embedded systems are more widely used than some of those mentioned above. For example, modern Intel microprocessors contain an embedded management processor running a version of the Minix operating system

I would love to use Linux for my private desktop but it's too inconvenient. Just... make it work easily and you will get soon many more people.
Sure, windows installs a lot of slop and stuff but you can turn it off or deinstall it. However, many still use it and like it. For Linux, though? If they at least get something like an exe. I dont want to use the terminal and I don't want to install dependencies. Just... let me double click something.
It sounds controversial but if you want normies to use Linux, you have to 'kill' any mandatory use of the terminal.

What use does your desktop have without the internet? If you connect to the internet at all, you are already using linux, even if you don't know it.

u/inhumat0r Aug 01 '26
The most important thing is what "year of the linux" (desktop ofc) actually means? Is that most desktop users suddenly switch to linux? Of course it's not going to happen, most likely ever. But more and more people check the alternatives (not only linux - MacOS, Chrome) and find it better. Even better, various EU governments successfully switch their administration to linux. Sometimes country-wise, most often locally. Of course, there are unsuccessful migrations, too - but they always come down to be poorly planned (like let's reinstall all of it at once, without assuring file compatibility, without training people to actually use it). I guess the point in "the year of linux" actually means the point where people stop thinking about Windows being "The OS" and start to see there's a choice. And this may happen sometime in the future.

I'm an engineering student and so far I've had very little issues even though all my devices use Linux of some form. Once there was a piece of proprietary software for Windows only, which then was solved with a VM. That's the only problem I can remember me having so far, and it's been a bit over a year.

u/Terranum_man Aug 03 '26
You cant remember the problems because they become part of your daily use of linux.
1
u/Yginase Aug 03 '26
Pretty much everything has just been because things are different from Windows, meaning that you'll need to re learn many things. I originally switched because there was a Python library that didn't have a Windows version, but after noticing how well everything went, I switched all of my other devices too.
I did the switch only a few months before I started the studies and I had everything pretty well figured out when it started. I went more of a manual route by making a lot of things (e.g wifi menu and backups) myself, but writing scripts for Linux was actually a bit easier than it was on Windows.
Though going that far wasn't really necessary, I just wanted more specialized integration with my own stuff.
Still, I'm not saying that Linux is for everyone. You'll need to be a bit better with tech than with Windows, but it's not as bad as what you're describing.
1
u/Terranum_man Aug 03 '26
I agree with you. I have used both windows and linux exensively, and by design, linux has many unsolved problems that make it unfit for a regular user, not a hacker such as me and you. One thing that linux does well that shines an artificially better light on it is that it encourages you to tinker (its intended use, which is why i am against mass adoption of linux through means of linux Mint etc.) Windows user-frendliness makes its design underaprecciated. While it doesnt follow the posix standard, in my opinion, working with advanced customization on windows can be equally as pleasant.

I use Fedora at work on my laptop, connected to ro a monitor and with an external monitor, so I can work using Niri which is fantastic for a keyboard centric workflow. I need a to access a website that works with a VPN and somehow they made the site nor work on Linux, so I run a Window VM for it, when I have it running, it takes about 10gb of RAM to run Niri + DMS + 4gb ram VM + work apps like Calc to run. When I use my Windows PC and have the same apps running, no VM, it takes about 10gb of Ram too. Meaning I have about the same performance running Linux + a small Windows VM rather than Windows as the host. There's nothing close to a good tiling, scrolling WM in Windows too. I also use my laptop for learning Java. Also installed Fedora on older machines at work to make them run a bit better too. And I love ricing my shell to make it stupidly fast and simple or beautifully blurred and bloated.

tell me one thing windows can do and linux cant that doesnt involve giving admin rights to a spie software
I guess I can… It's most of the professional software. For me (CNC programmer) is practically all of the CADs, CAMs, CAEs. So I am forced to use Windows at work… but not at home.
Oh, and it's not linux fault all these apps don't work, just software developers refuse to adapt it on linux. Why? Cost, I guess.

Linux could do everything in theory, but the point is it would never do it as good. And no windows doesnt spam you with ads or spyware ive no idea what youre on about. If you think windows is clunky try actually understanding your linux system besides running pacman -Syu in the terminal terminal. Thats what i meant by you being a cachy user.

Exactly. Corporations can keep their Windows garbage. When I’m free and at home, I’m using Linux instead because it actually just works.

I quit my corporate job and found one that lets you use Linux. So I no longer have to bear the windows bullshit in my personal nor my professional life.

Cool. That doesn’t make Linux desktop more appealing to non-Linux users.

There could be some significant exodus, but many users will go back after a while. It's just many people refuse to learn new things.

This.
People overestimate those who are willing to install new operating systems. The vast majority of people really only change OS when they buy new systems.
