The Linux community is united! (Unless you mention Rust, or Wayland, or systemd, or Snap, or GNOME, or...)
You've made an enemy for life!
Rust as well? In what way? (Genuinely interested, just don't know much about that community)
There's an ongoing ~~debate~~ tantrum about introducing Rust code to the kernel. Some people are pushing for it, some people have made it their life's purpose to make sure that doesn't happen, it has led to a wave of maintainers resigning, and Linus is sitting with his thumb up his arse when his leadership is needed.
Interesting, thank you for explaining!
GNOME>KDE
I used to prefer Gnome for the longest time. It seemed to be lighter on resources and cleaner. I tried KDE again a few years ago and was blown away at how much better it has gotten. KDE has quickly become my go to. The ease of customization, theming, and the wealth of settings sold me on it.
I ought to go back and try Gnome again since it's been a few years. I'm sure they've gotten better too since I last used them.

Now we need Cardi B Linux alongside Hannah Montana Linux.
Peace was never an option
As a relatively recent Windows refugee, I want to share a recent success that has made me feel fully confident in never needing Windows again and fully feeling the Linux superiority.
I got Cyberpunk with all my previous mods running.
Maybe not a big deal for most people, but this was one thing that had kept me holding onto dual boot on my main device. Conversations online also kept making modding on Linux seem so impenetrable.
Then I decided to spend an afternoon figuring out modding games in general on Linux, and yeah parts of it was tough for me to figure out, but now I'm confident that anything I used to do on PC, I can probably do better on Linux.
I am ready to take up arms alongside the Weaponized Assault Penguin squad.
I'd trust you on my 6.
Temple OS the best! PLUTO IS A PLANET
You heard about Pluto? That's messed up
One of your statement is wrong and its not the latter.
BOTH ARE RIGHT!
Both were created by the same person
Meanwhile, countries that surrender to the microsoft side of the force just bend over again and again and again...https://ioplus.nl/en/posts/trump-has-free-rein-over-dutch-government-data
My dad always used to tell me how the dutch government was jokingly bad at IT & other stuff. But booooooooooooy did i not expect it to be this bad
Windows is better... if you need game compatibility, slave in Office or Adobe, have a Nvidia card, wants HDR and or fractional scaling...
Everything else, it's pure unadulterated garbage...
Game compatibility isn't really an issue on Linux anymore thanks to Proton.
Depending on how old and what graphics card you have.
Games: nope. Same as someone above, I've got Cyberpunk on Linux
Office/Adobe... may be a fair point for some Nvidia card: nope, works fine
HDR: did not even bother to learn what is. Can be a fair point
Fractional scaling - genuine question: who the hell ever needs this? I have gone from 1K resolution (standard laptop) to 2K to 2.5K to ~~3~~4K with curved monitor and never ever ever did I think "hey, this big screen? I want everything bigger/smaller on it". What do people use fractional scaling for?
Fractional scaling is awesome, I could never use my monitor without it, things just are too small.
But it perfectly works on Linux for me (OpenSUSE).
But how big is it (resolution/physical size) ?
I feel like I will never go for more than present 4k with around 80cm width (but it is curved, so screen surface is enough), because if I try to stuff more windows visible at the same time, it becomes more info than I can process. So, unless I start building something like personal dashboard, this is my limit: finally see enough, do not get overwhelmed
Your post smells of someone, who only uses their computer for fairly limited tasks.
Office/Adobe
There's so much software around serious work, creativity, and productivity, that doesn't exist for linux or is meh. CAD, audio, video, music production.
The main reasons I use macOS are GarageBand and apps for DJing. Anything audio still breaks far too often on linux or is otherwise a pain.
OmniGraffle is so fantastically great, there's no linux equivalent. The Affinity suite of alternative applications to Adobe is fantastic and far above any linux alternative.
The nicest GUI application for git, nor the best diff and merge tool aren't available for Linux.
Besides that getting support for commercial software is usually much better than for FOSS.
who the hell ever needs this?
People who love details and crisp fonts and thus own high density resolution screens.
HDR: did not even bother to learn what is
You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.
Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.
But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.
GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look
You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.
Got me a hundred percent π. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics
Aww man the less awesome WAP
Hint: :q!
