How do we increase software availability on Linux?
There is shitload of fields for which Linux has no decent native software solutions.
Linux still can't into most of media production.
Valve is pushing people to put games on Linux, but 80% of current Stem games for Linux are not very good.
CAD solutions are also weak.
Those are just first fields that come to my mind.
IMHO that's the biggest obstacle on the way to Year of Linux desktopᴹᴱᴹᴱ

GNU/Linux is not actually meant for mass consumers.

>How do we increase software availability on Linux?
By putting more pressure on software vendors. Or not. I mean, look at Adobe... Used to support Flash on Linux, now they don't, but you can still make it work with pepperflash...
And nothing of value was lost, because the web's moving to HTML5 anyway and Flash was always shit.
Anyway, the issues with Windows 10 that have already driven a bunch of Windows users over to Linux are only going to become more...

Now that the dust has settled, what are some good alternatives to this piece of shit? My department generally uses this instead of our intitutional servers mostly because it has a GUI so retarded students don't have to use Gitbash.
Please limit discussion to platforms.
cf. old thread >>>52879966
bitbucket, gitlab, or run your own.
or, you know, ignore the political or social agenda of the company you patronize. you don't give a fuck about what coca cola or general mills or any of the companies behind products you probably buy advocates for.
I use bitbucket for personal projects i want to keep project. i use github for projects that i want to make public at some point (or for ongoing public projects).
make decisions based on your needs, not based on your principles like a faggot SJW

It's not about their politics, it's about their instability, like what happened to Google Code. GitHub hasn't existed for as long as our project needs to last and changing platforms 5-10 years from now is a hassle.
I was thinking about building our own and building a GUI for tech illiterates, but this is an academic project so easy public accesibility is important. I'll check out BitBucket.

It's literally one line of code to switch to a new Git repository.

What are you working on, /g/?
FizzBuzz!!#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
for (unsigned long long i = 0; i < 4294967295; i++)
{
if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0)
printf("FizzBuzz\n");
else if (i % 3 == 0)
printf("Fizz\n");
else if (i % 5 == 0)
printf("Buzz\n");
else
printf("Hitler didn't do anything wrong\n");
}
}
What are my nimfriends working on?
