It's like you're being intentionally deceptive or something

Fuck off GPU shitposter
wrong thread
>>55491593
Most linux distros use all the hardware in my machines out of the box. With windows I have to download a gigabyte of random drivers before things even start to work properly...
Also linux is better if you just get a distro thats designed to be work for most people instead of falling for memes and installing arch or gentoo.
>>55491806
Ive installed both Arch and Debian and ironically Arch has better support due bleeding edge and all that
But seriously, aside from showing off my anime porn in a bash file browser, theres really nothing to do
All my hardware works on Linux the first time everytime. Works for me.
>>55491885
Then you probably don't do much on computers anyway.
I have not booted winblows in over a year and I spend 6-8 hours a day behind my screen.
I have never riced anything beyond changing a theme once and probably browse g 5 hours a week tops.
What exactly do you expect a computer to do?
>No hardware or software supports it
Well you installed it didn't you?
Also sage.
>>55491773
>No software or hardware supports it
>The newest consumer hardware release has first class support via software drivers, including vulkan
Intentionally deceptive
>everyone keeps saying im bullshitting about hardware but dont adress the software issue
Theres literally nothing to do but fuck around with the terminal, watch videos, and browse /g/
>>55491593
One can do everything apart from playing latest directx games.
>>55492186
What would you be doing in Windows then? Same story but replace terminal with powershell and maybe add games.
I do all my work on Debian, and even game and watch movies/TV. It's not that hard anon
>>55492003
What do you use your computer for?
>>55492186
If you aren't intending to do anything software related, then your focus shouldn't be on consumer-unfriendly sodtware.
Install Win7 and do whatever you like hardware-wise. The fact that you have nothing to do on Linux is not a flaw of GNU/Linux itself.
>>55491593

Make something, learn to program or take this an opportunity to stop playing video games/shitposting and go outside

It's not for you

You obviously don't do anything else on Windows either aside from maybe gaymen.

I seriously don't understand why people install GNU/Linux when they know they won't use any of the specific functions that it offers.

>osu! (in wine-staging)
>TF2 works, but nouveau causes some graphical glitches
I played through Max Payne 1 and 2 on Arch. 1 had some performance problems because of nouveau, and 2 had some framerate issues because of it. I wouldn't have any problems if I had a modern gpu that still has working proprietary drivers and updates for them.
>>55491593
Why is everyone on windows a professional artist or a mechanical engineer?
A lot of people don't need autocad or photoshop.
But if you do, linux is not for you.
gpu threads should be banned on /g/. this place is pretty shit these days.
>>55494340
Fucking this
>>55494340
I'm a professional musician and audio engineer. I have a mac for it and I never touched a windows platform in any recording studio in my life.

It does though the gtx 1080 was supported a week or so before it even launched on linux and freebsd

It supports much more hardware than windows. Have you tried getting drivers for legacy hardware in newer versions of windows?
>>55494385
matlab works fine, I don't know what other tools people like you need.
>>55494340
Yeah, it's a little weird. Because everyone who makes these threads are just trying to get replies, they don't actually give a shit about anything they say. Yet people keep responding to every single thread these idiots make. Same fucking threads every day.
>>55491593
Linux is so advanced it can't even run video games
>>55494481
It's up to the devs to support Linux, not up to Linux to support gaymes.

You can rive windows just as good and use it
Arent most Autodesk applications on Linux?
The only thing the art community is missing from linux is a decent Photoshop
>>55494492
If it has no games, the OS isn't worth your time.
>>55494528
"Okay, kid" has never been a more fitting response.
>>55494519
I have only used inventor, I don't know what they offer that works on linux.
Inventor had microsoft office as a dependency, so I doubt that they will ever port that to linux.
What application were you thinking of?
>>55492003
why do you browse thsi board 5 hours a week

What >>55494553 wanted to say
>>55494647
It surprises me how much g hates video games. They're really impressive, especially if you're interested in computer hardware and computer programming. A lot of people say it's a waste of time, as if spending your time on 4chan is somehow more productive.
>>55495238
>They're really impressive, especially if you're interested in computer hardware and computer programming
they actually really used to be, but now everyone seems to use one of 5 licensed engines, rely on sheer power rather than programming tricks and efficient code, and just throw shaders at the hardware to try and simulate something approaching a realistic atmospheric distortion.
Brute force is cool and all, but thoughtful implementation is cooler, especially when your job is "make a cool game that'll sell a bunch"
The Nintendo Gamecube was the apogee of video game programming, prove me wrong.

>>55494513
You can't rice it to the same extent, and ricing in windows usually means shitty third-party software like rainmeter that become useless resource hogs, unlike lightweight and minimalist implementations in GNU/Linux
