Why do people always have to discuss distros in every thread. Find a hobby and stop ricing.

Kind of proves the point why next year is going to be the year of Linux desktop.

  After seeing a salesman voluntarily using it and getting away with it at work, multiple influential devs using it both in my organization and at customera, meetings be held with Teams on Linux desktop at the client etc I have already declared year of Linux desktop on Oslo, Norway. Feels exactly like when Mac broke through 15 or so years ago: all the cool kids used it and advocated it, management wanted it and several people in IT preferred it and use it whenever they can get away with it.

    Until one needs to plug a laptop into a customer beamer on a critical sales meeting.

      >plug a laptop into a customer beamer I've had presentations where the Macbook couldn't sync and the Kubuntu Dell rescued me. Linux video is massively better than a few years ago thanks to AMD drivers being fully open source.

        The same open source Radeon drivers that have dropped support for my netbook APU, downgraded to GL3.3 from GL 4.1 without hardware video decoding as previously provided by fglrx, while the Windows 8 drivers keep providing GL 4.1, DirectX 11 and hardware video decoding on Windows 10, on the same hardware.

      In other words: one more reason why it is exactly like Mac 15 years ago?

        15 years ago most beamers already had a little Mac OS X logo on them. How many have a little pinguim 15 years later?

        You don't need one. Another advantage. Of course there are things like my Canoscan 4400F that has refused to work for years, but that is so rare I can remember that particular piece of trash a decade later.

        You right, you just need to be a black belt in xrandr settings.

  What are you even trying to say. You're not any better when you leave bait in every single thread even remotely connected to open source. Now go on a tangent like always and watch me not reply.

    It looks like a reply to me. Here is the thing, what you think about me, doesn't matter at all.
