What do people even do on linux? Do you just spend all your free time trying to look like a hacker in console (btw if your OS still requires you to console when GUIs have been a thing for 15 years now then it is garbage)? Don't you people have jobs?

can't you just learn this? it's not supported simply because it doesn't ship with it. windows would be the same way if it wasn't shipped with it, dicknugget

I code C at my job and my games are playable on linux.
Is that enough?

>OS requires you to console
Tbh senpai outside of really advanced distros, most of the functionality of a linux distro can be pretty much completed in the GUI. Terminal environments are either used for power-user functionalities or just used to work faster (I type faster than I mouseclick).
>implying "normal" computer users utilize any OS features that can't be pretty much completely replicated in a GUI environment
>games
Emulation isn't handicapped on linux distros, Steam has many linux games, and nothing's stopping you from buying a console outside of your reliance on your mother's wallet.
>everything else
Open source software is varied and can pretty closely match the functionality of everything you mentioned for none of the cost.

Why would I want to use any of that software? They all subjugate their users. Except for a small fraction of the games.

You literally can't argue this
The fact that you think all computers require a GUI puts you in the retard category. You're better off not knowing or caring what Linux is or why it exists. Go pick grass while the other team scores.

I use all three operating systems on a day-in-day-out basis and know the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Linux excels at being a server, and is also decent enough at being a hobbyist programming platform.
Desktop Linux, on the other hand, is a fucking bad joke. Always has been, always will be, the only difference is how much the various desktop environments manage to piss off hobbyists at a particular moment in time. If you're not accessing your Linux boxes remotely through SSH in a console-only session, you're doing it 100% wrong and should probably seriously re-evaluate your life choices.

Until the programs crash Wine and no one will support you because you're using Wine.
Plus, given how the Oracle vs Google suit is turning out, Wine is not long for this world.

What does it mean when people say Linux is good for programming, or "a good platform for programming"? Don't you just need an IDE to program? What does the OS have to do with it?
>>53403284
that's perfect for a normie faggot.
Simple DE, customizable as he wants, easily to maintain up to date, retard proof (he won't install a malware), and works on any machine even old ones.
If that's not good for normies I don't know why.
What a normie do : facebook, shitpost, listen to music, watch a movie, a video on youtube.

It's easier to go from zero to a functioning programming environment on Linux. Sometimes way easier - the language you want to use might even be installed by the OS by default.
It's also way easier to start out - instead of diving headfirst into an labyrinthine IDE, you can usually get off the ground with a normal text editor, a compiler invocation, and maybe a Makefile. You can do things the easy way with Windows too, but in my experience getting your environment set up on Windows is never as smooth as it is on Linux.
Linux (and other *NIX environments) also have the advantage that interfacing with the operating system itself is much easier than on Windows. Just compare your average POSIX function signature to your average labyrinthine Win32 function signature, it's like night and day.
