The biggest obstacle for linux is that only nerds use it.

>le nerds meme

I can get sex whenever I want, fucko. I've got my Linux system up and running just the way I like it, so I can serenade ladies with some smooth jazz played with my surround sound using MPD. I can learn to program and actually operate a computer, making me a valuable asset to society, one that will only become more valuable, opening me up to a variety of high-paying job opportunities, drawing ladies not only to my competence and security, but to my wealth.I can block adware, spyware, and other malware from my system with ease, so I never need to concern myself with troubleshooting an issue caused by some random sketchy executable, seeing as I can install whatever I need from the package managers. Since I like ad-free, I can make sensible life choices and not waste time on silly materialistic exploits, increasing my confidence, making me use my time better, and all around making me a better human being. You can sit there playing your gaymes on Windows as long as you want, if we stood side by side, a girl would choose me over your overweight, mountain dew-chugging, socially inept, brainwashed gaymer ass.

Face it, buddy - Linux is better than Windows in every way, except the ways that don't matter to anyone with even a fraction of a brain.

Linux is for computing professionals. It doesn't need to compete with consumer products made for plebs when it has already penetrated governments and private industry to get real work done.

Really, are you saying you really prefer metro trash tiles?

If you don't want extra widgets on KDE, don't use them.
By the way, that's not the KDE in 2016 - we're actually at KDE Plasma 5 (individual components are rolling release now), you are showing KDE 4.

Why is there a thread like this at the top of /g/ every day? I boot up my computer within a few seconds, get to web browsing, gaming, music, streaming, torrenting, coding within a few seconds, without any interruptions or restrictions. My desktop looks and feels exactly how I want it to (a point lost on many simpletons like OP who think criticising one particular desktop setup is an attack on the OS and not the fool who configured it that way).

The only explanations I can think of for the constant stream of stupid FUD threads is either a highly committed troll, or Microsoft maintaining their astroturfing, and trying to manipulate the chorus so that /g/ (a significant ingress point to the linux world) has nothing but posts mocking Linux.

Given how MS very obviously controls the chorus on reddit (whatever product their marketing push is behind tends to appear a lot on the front page of reddit), and likewise all over /g/, I can only conclude that there's some drone sitting in a cubicle in Microsoft's marketing department, making post after post every day desperately trying to slander the competition, and keep those precious tech-inclined people locked into the Windows cage, so that some kind of life will remain in the dead horse. An actual troll would use better bait for a start.

I can't be the only one who sees this, can I?

Why don't you use a TTY session then? How much more functional can you get?

It's less functional because of poor multitasking, but still ability to make own scripts surely extends functionality of any GUI

I don't see the problem.
Cherry picking an ugly setup of an old DE and it still looks more functional than the other two.
Widgets might not always be useful, but if you have a usecase, why shouldn't that exist?
Obviously KDE is not for everyone, but it is still better than windows and OSX
