Currently using plasma mobile on a 16 year old thin client and media PC, its working flawlessly

GNOME network monitors exists.

Fastmail.

Great, but when kbigscreen.

I need a decent Chromecast replacement

Thats what I mean, in the last few weeks/months, there was no big thing that win users needed to be able to switch.

Linux in a vacuum is a great OS, and what it cant do in the context of Windows is more a „Proprietary formats and software being Industry standard” problem than a Linux problem.

I’m not saying that everyone should just abandon the standards , but that if you need to have these standards, nothing is going to change in a production envoirment that magically makes Linux work for you (in home you can argue about VMs and proton, but that’s not a valid tactic for companies), and you need to keep using windows.

And the other way around, if you don’t need any of these standards, you don’t have any reason to still use Windows, except that you don’t want to change.

This.

For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.

Same problems

Not open source for once

Does anyone remember how the Devs from there didnt want to release for Android because ApPlE iS sOoOo mUcH mOoOrE sEcUrE

Get rekt.

is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

Ah, yes.

You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.

If Proton supports WebDAV: Theres Davx5. Also Theres for sure lots of foss smb and FTP mounting apps

Graphene is working with a major phone Maker and will be releasing a Graphene compatible phone in 1-2 years

Serious question: Do I have to be a jew in order to use it?

(Because KZs and im German and stuff)

Adb can uninstall Gservices and Magisk has a MicroG module

So in your world, a completely locked down phone is better than a phone that you can easily open up again by flashing a ROM or replacing Gservices for MicroG with adb + Magisk?

Apple now allows sideloading of apps

Apple allows as much sideloading as google wants to next near.

Yes, you can install from .iPa files, but you still need to pay 100€ a year to be able to sign the IPA files, otherwise you cant run them. as much as with googles new policy you now need to pay 25€ + your full name to get a signature, to sign the Apks with

But why tho? Bazaar (the few times I use it instead of cli) actually works without randomly freezing while loading, searching, downloading, deleting, just about everything, unlike when I tried using Discover on Arch, Opensuse, Kubuntu, Fedora, and Fedora Atomic.

my own fault for wanting to play competitive multiplayer games online on Linux ?

Yes, that’s what I said. If you are able to play competitive stuff nowadays, your nerves should be able to put up with the pain of dual booting.

The only games that won’t run are Battlefield and Cod, LoL, etc

And to be honest, if you play those games, you are most likely a machorchist anyway.

Shh, dont tell him lobotomies became mandatory on birth since Gen Z, and there are only few who still know how this magical phone they are using every day works, let alone know what an IP address is
