P. sure OP is bait, but I agree with the sentiment. Installing stuff through apt-get is more confusing than one-click .exes, and half the time I try to install something I have to resolve a fuckton of dependencies
Linux is hard because gays love hard cocks.
Lol
>>54623204
By using it as a NIX and not like it's Windows
>>54623220
Everyday stuff mostly, lurking, programming, listening to spotify, maybe some gaming if I feel like it. Every once in a while I need to do non-trivial stuff, but it's always so convenient to use Linux because it's so well-documented and intuitive.
For example: A couple of months ago I got a new computer, but I didn't feel like reinstalling. First I dd'd over my root partition to the new SSD. Since the new disk was smaller than my last one (SSD opposed to spinning disk), I could then change the mount point for /home and rsync my old /home partition to the new one. The new machine just worked after that. Simple as fuck.

Well, I don't pretend Linux is some catch-all platform. But it definitively isn't hard to use.
For the little music recording I do, I use Logic Pro on my Macbook Pro. However, as that is also a NIX system, I'm pretty comfortable on Mac too, even though some stuff is a little different.

Also, you don't have to install by terminal. You can just as easily go to the Nvidia website, click on the .deb or .rpm download and open that when it's done downloading. Running the script works on ALL distros though, not just on Debian-based or RPM-based ones

Ubuntu notifies you automatically if there are drivers available.
On Mint you just type "drivers" in the start menu. At least for Nvidia it's extremely easy.
>>54624052
Once you get the idea of PPAs you can add the nvidia ppa and the newest drivers will show up as an option.

95% of all Linux installations in the entire support either Debian packages or RPMs, which is why those two are supported by Nvidia.

Any time I try to install something under Debian or Fedora I am spending half an hour reading guides and tutorials, or fucking around reading forum threads. Or I come here and ask in the /sqt/ or Linux threads and get meme answers.
Why is it like this? Because Linux is not a desktop OS and I am not a System Admin or programmer and it has no need to cater to the sort of things I do.

The OOTB driver included with most of the distros I've tried is limited to VGA, SVGA, and XGA. Everything else you have to set up a custom modeline with xrandr (and it doesn't work half the time). That is not acceptable.

This confirms my previous statement. Things are generally working a lot better now, in 2010 there were all sorts of problems with UEFI, AHCI, buggy Intel NIC drivers, etc. I'm glad the 2.6 branch of the kernel is long gone.

>>54624505
In 2010 it felt like those issues were more well documented. The wikis were up to date. The issues with the NIC drivers had good forum threads with all the information to resolve it there.
It's more scarce now, and the information you find is harder to follow or seems to rely more on hacks.

I've been using Windows since 3.11, I've been trough all the changes Windows has gone trough. And I fucking hate OS X, I cannot stand it, but hey it's the easiest OS to install software in.
Everything about the OS X UI feels like it was designed ass backwards, or different for the sake of being different, I've had a much easier time getting used to Cinnamon (doesn't really matter on which distro), which felt like a straight upgrade over Windows' UI.
But DEs like Gnome 3 and Unity are fucking awful and I can see why someone coming from Windows will be disgusted, perhaps people coming from OS X will find them easier to use.
>>54624462
You can do reasonably well with OS X without ever having to touch the terminal

I don't know what to say other than you being completely mistaken.

>>54624635

This rustles my jimmies. It was never designed to be a Windows, most of this UI has a long tradition back to the first Macintosh days. Long before there were any Windows around.
As for Gnome 3, that shit is designed to work for both tablets and computers.

You need to go further back in time too. It has UI elements that stems from Windows 2.0

Yes, the active part in the top left of the window title bar is from Windows 2.0 I think, it's not a copy of OS X as I've seen some mac fags claim.
Here's Windows 10, with the media player from Vista, the new Settings menu, the Control Panel from Vista that has items like the power options opening in the same page, and the old items like Mouse opening in another window with tabs, which is exactly the same as in Windows 95.
But of course Windows 10 also has another music player, video player, picture viewer, IE and Edge etc. etc.

This is why tryhard basement spergs ruin linux, newcomers think they have to use some obscure timesink. Rarely see this for ubuntu/fedora/mint, it's always installing some timesink or server nothing base install distro that was ironically recommended by some faggot piece of shit secretly hoping that he'd end up hating it to protect the secret club.
noticed the major problem was the nvidia driver.
Ubuntu/fedora/mint = one click in hardware drivers or its package manager which has the proprietary driver in it because it isn't a freetard turd burger and it respects your time. Following this there's actual modern software in their repos and the "solution" isn't just to say to use some 80s piece of shit and effectively just say "drop all your friends and contacts and be a basement loser like me".

a first time user won't be installing the drivers from a .run file
>>54623350
It's perfectly intuitive if you are familiar with linux but you aren't
Linux distros are perfect for people that don't know anything about computers, they are perfect for people that know a lot bout computers, they are absolute fucking cancer for people that THINK they know a lot about computers but actually do not
because you use the terminal as a first resort
There's a lot of configuration to get eveything just right

but no, better install it manually from source, despite emerge installing it from source too.

literally install a better distro
>>54624154
Yeah that installs the package, you still have to configure shit after you install it

I don't know what to type in the terminal. I've never sat down and learned bash. That's a hurdle I suppose I should get over, but I also consider a big reason why people say Linux is hard. I only know a few commands, everything else is copy/pasted from the internet.
Often there isn't a shiny button to fix a problem I'm having. And if there is one it usually doesn't work the way I want it to, if it works at all.

I try to take the path of least resistance in with Linux.
Linux is not for gayming. Don't install it with this in mind.
Linux is not good for multi-media. Don't expect great performance there either.
What does this mean? Forget Nvidia or AMD drivers, just use the open source ones. They're good enough.
Internet video isn't working well? Well too fucking bad. Use a download site and watch it in a video player if you really want to see it, or stick to 360p youtube.
You're supposed to be doing something -important-, not fussing around with these childish pursuits. You should be doing Real Workâ˘. Get to it. Whatever it is..some kind of programming or server shit or something, idk.
>>54623350
emerge nvidia-drivers
This is what you get for not installing gentoo
>>54623110
Because you shouldn't be using Linux. Go get a Mac. Try not to be a faggot about it though. Don't parade it around acting like you're hot shit.

The Nvidia drivers work quite well.
I use Arch simply because it is the best Linux based distro to date.
It allows me to complete all my work with maximum efficiency.
