Hahahahahahahaha! Go convert your desktop into a server, because that's all Linux is good for.
>>55360285
But 2016 is the year of the Linux desktop! I read it on /g/!
Steam OS was a flop, but the amount of Linux games on Steam is still growing.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Band-aid workaround hack that doesn't use native Linux APIs. Doesn't support CUDA or OpenCL. Might as well go back to Windows.

I use an ancient version of spotify on my windows machine anyway. The version on my linux machine has that unusable black interface with fuckhuge fonts and line spacings. I'd rather spotify quit "developing" their program alltogether, all they do is fuck things up.

GOOGLE HATES LINUX
THE FINAL STAB IN THE BACK WAS CHROME OS
THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN HELPING DESKTOP LINUX GROW OUTSIDE THEIR PROPRIETARY CHROME WALLED GARDEN
How can it be over if it never truly started? Linux for personal computing is a bad joke.
>>55360063
With how hard windows is pushing windows 10 I think a lot more people will be interested in linux. At least in my uni all students are indirectly encouraged to take up linux. All off our programming and work is done with things like gcc and linux terminals.
>>55360680
Lel, apparently we've got a counter copypasta.
>>55360063
most of the programs you listed are shit aside from steam. this is why people dualboot. also, don't use google drive it's terrible and not secure, don't use spotify, it's literally shilling for shit you can get free in a minute.
>>55361153
reminder chromeos is literally based off gentoo
>>55361153
Good. Google is a botnet and we don't need them contaminating the Linux community.

>it's literally shilling for shit you can get free in a minute.
Can you get it for free without committing a crime?
>no more development for Spotify on Linux
Welp just lost any hope of me ever converting. I could live without muh videogames, but no Spotify AND no Foobar? Disgusting.

Buu..bbuu..but linux is the ideal desktop OS, why can't everyone else see that beside just us faggots here on /g/?
>mfw when even the application makers see that you are all fucking retarded and don't see the point in the effort to make their apps work on linux...it is a server/back end OS afterall, it is not meant as a daily usage desktop OS.
haha..love it. You linux cheap faggots are getting btfo...so deserving.

LaTeX is a markup language. Scrivener is a writing workstation. They're not really the same in any way.

A kernel can't be a desktop OS.
>>55361579
Because it's easier to pay 5 dollars and search whatever artist I want, whatever song I want, and click play in less than 3 seconds. Convenience I guess.
Otherwise I would have to pirate every fucking song I wanted to play and that's inconvenient.
>>55361595
Nor can it be a good substitute either.
>>55361604
This. Also, I can share playlists with my friends and create collaborative playlists we can edit without needing to access the same account.

Plus my library is instantly synced across all of my devices, and I can control desktop Spotify from my Android phone, which is great when I'm gaming on my PC because I don't have to alt-tab out of the game to play a new track.
I can also cast my music to any Chromecast or Chromecast Audio, which is a great thing for parties or just having friends over for a chill time.
>Google Drive.
Plenty of unofficial clients that work the same as the official.
Plenty of alternatives like MegaSync and Dropbox, OwnCloud.

both are gone with systemd, selinux, gtk3 and the rest of that shit
unless canonical starts paying everyone again to develop shit for linux it really is over

I have some news OP. You are a cuck, but don't worry, you can use Microcuck Winblows 10 and be fully cucked.
