    This picture is incomplete.

    You need another guy on the ledt side, just casually watching as the others fight. That’s Debian.

    The poor dude being shoved into the locker is Suse.

    The bully is Ubuntu.

    Now we need a bigger guy behind the bully, waiting to get his hands on the bully. That will be RedHat.

    Arch will be behind RedHat, getting ready to punch him in the face.

    Gentoo will be right behind Arch, laughing like a maniac at the carnage unfolding.

    And to the far right side of the picture you get to see this underrated guy, just shrugging his shoulders. That’s LFS.

      And for most people that’s OK. As I’m OK with buying eggs rather than making them myself in my garden with my own chickens, even if it would be better and I would have more control over it…

        I thought about your comment. My conclusion: a Linux laptop doesn’t need as much space as a normal sized chicken. It’s cleaner too.

        Depends on the task. It is much better for ml, ai, scientific computing and high performance computing in general, developers…

        But I use libreoffice only for cover letters and cvs.

        If excel is needed, Linux is a problem

          Adobe Suite?

          Affinity Suite?

          Proton Drive?

          Editing in Davinci? (free version of DaVinci Resolve on Linux cannot playback any H.264 or H.265 video, and the free and paid version cannot playback AAC audio on Linux…)

          You know, anything productive?

            Davinci Resolve

            Use Kdenlive

            Adobe

            I don’t use them but according to winehq it somewhat runs well.

            Affinity

            Well yeah… I used Designer and Publisher extensively when I still used Windows. I asked and begged them to consider a linux version but they didn’t saw the marketplace. Guess we Linux users aren’t productive enough. So instead we have to resort to Inkscape and Krita.

            Proton drive

            Well fuck them for not considering making a filesystem driver for every OS. Especially THE OS most associated with servers and privacy minded users.

            Perhaps migrate to a more open cloud provider like Nextcloud?

              Kdenlive isn’t a replacement for Davinci or Premiere, sorry.

              I rely on either Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator to run my business. Inkscape and Krita are not capable of professional work.

              I pay for Proton, so I am not going to say fuck it because they, like most companies, don’t look at Linux Desktop as a real OS. Sorry.

                Why not? Because the tools are different?

                Imagine that, that different tools have different workflows. How utterly awful.

                And you are not sorry at all.

                But hey you like windows, being vendor locked in, getting spied upon, having to deal with shitty decisions and bloat. That’s your prerogative. We don’t.

                What’s your professional business anyway?

                  Are you really that dense? Different tools don’t equal different workflows. It means some things aren’t possible on kdenlive that people need to use in their professional work.

                  That’s like saying paint is a replacement for Photoshop. Enjoy trying to professionally edit photos with paint.

                  But hey, you like Linux, trying to troubleshoot why your graphics card doesn’t work, begging companies to release a Linux version of software, trying to hunt around for hardware that supports your Linux distribution.

              The proton drive issue will be fixed. It’s still early beta really. Shame but proton always come good.

        I…don’t know. I wanna say it is, but like a special proprietary version or something. I really got nothing here.

          It’s just Arch Linux with the Steam UI and some extra packages pre-installed.
