But i can understand if artists really need photoshop they cant do that on linux because adobe explicitly gives no f*ck about any linux compatibility.
I must say if an app doesnt work, mostly its intentionally by the devs, and that sucks. Especially on games with Kernel level spy… i mean anti cheat.
Is it just me?
Getting Linux to work correctly the first time straight “out of the box?”
Yes.
Idk man, when i started using linux with PopOS as my first distro 5 years ago, i don’t remember anything not working as it should. It wasn’t until i started using arch that i had to do more things myself, which makes sense cause it’s a diy distro.
When I started 9 ago I somehow managed to destroy my Debian install (specifically the Wayland session) when I tried to install Genshin Impact. Now I play happily play Genshin on my Mint. But my starting philosophy was: Better break it now before I put too much time into it.
The same with windows tho, you always have to find solutions.
I was on linux mint, kde plasma and another rather odd distro with a window manager. All worked out of the box. But i saw hell let loose with someone with cameras and just the cameras, the rest seemed fine and in working condition.
I also have always had everything just work, I don’t understand how everything is always broken for everyone else. Maybe I just buy good hardware?
Depends on the distro.
False, it’s also going smooth for me. The only prick is you.
Lots of linux users just use steam and play games.
And AFAIK Linux is way better for games now than MAC.

In case you are interested in actual numbers:
Using the latest months recorded share (Apr-2025 - 2.27%): 2,996,400 estimated “monthly active users” for Linux+Steam.

Maybe the Linux god just loves me but back on Windows I always had technical issues. From driver problems to blue screens. And since I switched to Linux in 2021 its all literally a perfect out of the box experience. Everything works. No problems. Much more stable. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
you dropped this: \
The backwards root directory is not real, it can’t hurt you Backwards root directory:
Thanks :)
No, nobody loves you (except Nudeline). You just made a good choice with Linux.
Oke…
We never say “reinstall the OS”.
sudo chown user:user -R /will get me to reinstall.The fix is to chmod it all to 777.
I’d understand getting Windows instead of Linux… But MacOS? That things has the usability of a bent spoon.
osx showed me that windows sucked ass. It showed me that the terminal could be useful. It’s at least UNIX like.
Mac has a decent terminal (even defaults to zsh IIRC), homebrew for package needs, no obnoxious ads in the desktop UI, great (although pricey) hardware. I am an avid Linux user forced to use Windows at work. I would much rather use a Mac.
It runs the web browser thats all you need

This meme needs to be updated, Gimp has CMYK support now.
Krita has a full-blown animation suite. And yes, the sound does work.

ragebait much?
How old is this meme? Steam just works.
Wow. But I mean who needs Photoshop and Office anyway? I heard kids these days do everything on their phones?!
“What’s a computer?”
Users like you are the ones that enjoy getting spoonfed and beat by mother Apple. “I have to buy an new 2k computer because a ribbon cable broke? It’s okay mommy I’ll do what you say ❤️” "You don’t let me install every app I want? Oh I’m sure you do this for my safety (non because you are a greedy ahole, no I’d never think that) ❤️
Her and her girl gonna be pissed when they don’t have no gaming. No cap, that what girls like.
There are some peculiar machines out there that can misbehave in weird ways when you take windows off them. Unless you bought your computer from Walmart you are probably fine though. Linux has dramatically improved over the years while windows got so much worse. It’s just better now.
Windows is for stupid people at this point who don’t want to learn anymore.
Umm… How old is this meme? You haven’t (really) able to play PC/Steam games on Mac for a while… Also, XFCE hasn’t been a serious contender for a DE (save for a lower end hardware spec) for quite a while now.
This meme might have made more sense if it was comparing to Windows. Comparing it to a Mac now is comical, especially since a lot of Adobe software doesn’t work quite right yet on M* series Mac’s yet (though it is better than at launch).
