Linux. It isn't about what you CAN do with it, it's about what you CAN'T do at a professional level:

Non linear video editing
Audio
Music
Midi
Industrial Design
BIM design
CAD/CAM
Engineering
Machining
Large format output
Graphic Design
Page Layout
Print Production/Pre production
Photography (RAW/non destructive, etc)
Video game development
Smartphone apps (x-platform)

and much, much more.


Basically all the stuff that regular people want from a commercial service.

This doesn't even make sense... I don't think you know anything about programming if you actually believe this. Basically you can't use Unity so you think making games is impossible, but most modern games are going to be built on a custom engine, Unreal, or CryEngine, all of which can run on Linux.

Hey, more useless shit for subhumans. Except a good deal of this has been historically done with unix/linux boxes and still can. The infrastructure is there. The usability quirks for the subhuman workforce now used for these things are not, but we should probably kill them anyways.

Actually all of those wrong. Companies doing serious engineering like Boeing and a lot of automakers use custom software running on Linux clusters. Also, while CAM/ machining software is available for windows, it's heavily frowned upon because unpredictable system performance can cause the software to jitter, leaving defects in the part being machined while the tool is moving over it. Linux solutions are preferred here too.
>>
>>46833481
Then I'm not sure what the big deal is. Microsoft and OSX were both created to be simple and user friendly. Why would anyone ever waste their time arguing about why Linux isn't a casual OS and instead caters to the end user. Oh wait, because we're on /g/.

Graphic design:
No licensed PANTONE support in ANY linux app
No licensed Colorspace support (swop, gracol, etc)

Those two ALONE are enough to discount Linux for design for print media of any type, including large format.

There are a couple Raster Image Processors for linux, like Caldera, but that's only a part of production.

Most CAM software for Windows and Linux outputs generic G code plus whatever post-processing tweaks are required for your controller.

The CAM software (not the code it outputs) doesn't run the machining center because the PC on which design work is done isn't part of the machining center nor should it be.

You can produce G code using any text editor. CAM software just makes it MUCH easier for complex parts. Basic CNC training includes writing your own code for simple parts so you can better diagnose problems with a process. Machine shops frequently have to or choose to tweak their code manually on or at the machining center.

The answer to end all answers:

Linux is not for the average PC user. NEETS will constantly purvey this idea that Linux can be used as a main OS but from the ground up, Linux was never meant to be friendly for home users.

Linux is fantastic for very case-specific tasks that require absolute stability, but for all else, Windows and OSX are infinitely better.

Anyone "can" use Linux on a daily basis
(Ubuntu) but good god, it is still frighteningly far from usable for the average person. Even a straightforward Ubuntu install requires some command line logic and diagnostic skill, both of which are out of reach for 99% of computer users.

OSX is a nix system, but anyone who's watched OSX over the years knows EXACTLY why Apple keeps it nice and wrapped up. They only allow OSX on their machines not "because they're Apple" but because Linux cannot simply work out of the box for the millions of different hardware configurations out there in the world. Apple has to cater for each and every PC they make with OSX.

End of the fucking story.

You can do anything with a chisel and hammer, shit, look at the great sculptures from greece and rome. The issue is that you can't get consistent quality and output by doing everything with primitive tools. That's why commercial outfits producing real goods don't use non-commercial tools on linux. Of the commercial tools that do exist, there are usually better alternatives for commercial OS.
>>
>>46834073
Really? Maybe for your build but I did a Ubuntu partition for keks and sure enough, the package that was responsible for my internet adapter kept bringing Ubuntu to it's knees since I needed a very specific package that was compatible. Crosshair V Formula Z.

Ubuntu is a step in the right direction but the minute something goes wrong, you need to get your hands dirty and that means instant terminal use.

At least with Windows, they have "Fix it" that acts as a nice stepping stone for most illiterate computer users to fix any weird problems, and sfc /scannow for us power users.

Don't even try and argue this since basically anyone who's used Linux for more than a day knows it's secretly true.

You could do all of those on linux, or even by hand. Just not extremely well. We did those things before computers, actually, except instead of shaky-handed college drop outs, we hired actual artists.

But doing them extremely well is not important because they are not important things. If everything was replaced by blocks of text with pictures haphazardly thrown about nobody would give a fuck. Graphic design isn't important. It's not art. It's not expression. It's a contest to see who can make the most distracting piece of shit they can.

If you shot every designer in the world right now the world would change very little. One graphic designer might go into a coma instead of dying. Then he'd wake up, see what the world has done without him, mutter "fucking tasteless plebs", grab an expensive pencil, and kill himself. Perhaps, just perhaps, a company would see a slight dip in profits among the 50-85 IQ demographic, but it would level off in a few years.

It's still for freaks. Enjoy your freak OS.

In reality, furry pornography is a very rare and deviant fetish confined to autistic people who are basically zoophiles in denial. If you actually open dense maps like furrymap, to see if germany really is as furry as it looks while zoomed out, it turns out that there's 10 furries to a major city at the most.

But freaks like furries just love to insist that everyone is "at least a little furry". If you criticize the furry for being a disgusting dog fucker, they will try to accuse you of being a furry or a potential furry. Do you think randal is a furry, or if he was mocking furries for doing that?

/g/ always devolves into anime and furry porn.

>pedos r straight

The prepubsecent female form is more similar to the male body than the female body, save for the vagina. Conclusion: winpedos are fags that are too poor for adult men and too poor for macs.

And of course, winfurfags are bestialists whose mothers won't let them get unfixed dogs.

Obviously Linux is the wrong OS, you should be using openbsd http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20150212193332&mode=expanded&count=0

Linux is nice for work that is non-os dependant programming. It's minimal, secure (not alot of malware writers for linux because of its small market share), very customizable and flexible.

Windows is basically your go to for everything else involving multimedia / games (though i see that steam is working on porting games over to linux).

It's not that you can't write things like photoshop / 3d autocad in linux, it's just that the market share of people using linux as a desktop os doesn't jutsify the metric fuckton cost of creating and maintaining linux versions.

Then there's the whole, "Which versions of linux do we make it compatible with? Ubuntu? That has the most users, or maybe Ubuntu and all distros similar to Ubuntu? So include Debian, but not Arch, etc etc"

But linux shills are putting their heads in the sand from reality if they think you can do everything in linux.

>but muh freedoms
>implying a programmer's time isn't 10000000x more valuable than your notion of pointless morals about "right" software. But hey it's your time.

You can make movies in blender (lol blender), or you can save a shit ton of time and use 3d studio on windows so you don't have to reinvent the wheel (trust me, YOU ARE NOT MAKING A BETTER WHEEL) over and over.

There's a video clip of Stalman somewhere on youtube where he's completely dumbstruck and can't think of an answer to "Are there things you can do in Windows that you can also efficiently on Linux?" <<< key word, efficiently

tldr ; everyone loving linux only is the following.

> programs things not os dependant, doesn't do any serious multimedia development, doesn't play vidya (the nonshit kind).
> loves being different
> thinks they are l33t haxx0r l00k @ muh terminal that installs and does stuff!!!

I just use linux because I like using free software and occasionally tinkering with my computer. 98% of the time I am just using a browser anyway so it doesn't really matter what OS I use.

Funny story I suddenly remembered:
A guy I know once banged a super hot chick with breast implants. A girl with bleached blonde hair, bimbo style, trained etc.

He did it with the intention to install Windows on her laptop, because it had Linux (Ubuntu or something, it was preinstalled) on it.

Dunno, it was just the context that made me write this

You know you can install more than one operating system on a computer?
You don't have to sign some kind of pact to ONLY use Linux.
Dual boot and you get the best of both worlds

I would like to hear whatever you made on that

>>46835453
But Windows is markedly superior on all fronts for all time, there's no need to dual boot.

No shit idiot. Software built for end users will probably be written for a platform that enhances the user experience so that they don't have to code that shit themselves. So your CADs and your IDEs won't be built for Linux desktops.

What Linux does best is run services. Servers, hypervisors, supercomputers, they're all Linux and they always will be Linux. Deal with it.

Linux is not to blame for the lack of proprietary, specialized software. Blame the companies not porting their software to Linux.
Also, as OSS devs say... patches are welcome.

Super computers run Linux because its customization and the people who make them have the knowledge to create there own software specifically for them. Been out in the field a lot, most places I've been to for work runs Windows server 2008r2 or 2012r2 with an 80/20 split to Windows over Linux.

>Linux is useless in the real world
but what about routers, points of sale, drones, android phones and tablets, webservers and similar systems, device controllers (yeah, some of your devices use linux...), ...? what about Blender, Krita, GIMP, Kdenlive, FreeCAD, Dia, Inkscape...?
>>
>>46835863
>FreeCAD

Winfags are going to point this out and say "herp derp, there aren't any commercial CAD packages"

If you have a budget, there's VariCAD, a 3D parametric modeling CAD for the same price of the horrid 2D Autocad LT.

from there, there's a range that goes all the way up to UG/NX "ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES" from Siemens.

And if you /must/ use Autocad LT, check out DraftSight from Dassault. Dassault's middle-finger to Autodesk's 2D crap.

All native Linux code.
