Install Linux, Problem Solved.
This is the Year of the Linux Desktop.
Can i flawlessly run Photoshop, mine raft java, FFXIV, steam and all games, Media player classic. Music bee without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows? No, I thought so, I'll come back once I can use the things I use daily without an issue and without having to install 6 different things to make stuff work
Ubuntu is neat the few times I used it though.
Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can't use regular gas in them? No, I thought so
Photoshop is trash.
Minecraft works just fine (it's Java for crying out loud)
Steam works natively. Valve's most popular hardware device runs Linux.
You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?
Two things here;
You can get around on Linux without a terminal
The terminal is king in functionality
Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn't a Linux only thing
If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you're setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.
Media player classic is not window Media player. Windows Media player is trash.
Photoshop might be trash (all of Adobe is, greedy little leeches), but it's what I've been using it for like 22 years now and I've tried to use gimp but it's just not the same, same with krita.
I know steam and MC work, I was just listing stuff I use, I think music bee might even have a Linux version, and he'll Linux might even have something better than Music bee. It usually does for media players.
I never insulted Linux, I have no idea why people act like I do. Maybe me choosing I ubuntu might be insulting, but Linux having 6k options for me to pick is my own choice.
You literally insulted Linux tho...?
