Linux Sucks. It’s terrible for most users.

Frutiger Aero is still alive in Linux, that alone is a reason enough for using it. Don't start on the games, everything without a spyware anticheat will work with Proton.

i find krita is an acceptable alternative to photoshop and krita works just fine on linux. anyone first coming from that adobe prisonware will have a hump of a learning curve but after that, no problem.

The current version of GIMP works with numerous operating systems, including Linux, macOS and Windows.

ANY successful program MUST be available for macOS!

unrealistic and exaggerated depiction of the linux user experience

And the time sink required to get various Linux distros to work properly is outrageous. Plus, the Linux ‘community‘ is filled with a-holes who aren’t helpful. And gaming is abysmal on Linux.

Who wants to spend never ending hours tinkering with an OS just so it will properly talk to common hardware/peripherals? Aspie losers, that’s who.

Wtf are you talking about? Installing mint on my box took 10 minutes and I had zero issues. If a user friendly distro like Mint or Debian came preinstalled on a laptop most folks wouldn't have a problem there either. Gaming is fine on Linux now. I haven't had any issues getting games to run. The push from Valve proves that gaming on linux can be and is viable.

Apple is just as bad if not worse and guilty of all this as well. You can do more with and get more out of pcs. There is a reason why pc is the market majority and not those glorified paper weights. Quality androids and pcs are also more expensive than apple products and work better. Apple is for people who want to look rich and don't understand technology which is why it's made over simplified for boomers so not even they can fuck it up on their porn sites. But only because there is no value in making viruses for products no one buys. Linux is for people who want to pretend like they know a lot about computers but have usless knowledge that only applies to the product they use that no one else buys.

Teal Deer, yes you can with Boot Camp Assistant. Make sure the mac of your choice is intel based.

Arch Linux has a well deserved reputation for being one of the very WORST linux distros

Also I recommend Linux mint (Debian Linux Mint Ubuntu is now becoming windows but Linux) or Pop OS for you as an new user to linux

I would highly recommend using a beginner friendly OS that won't require a lot of setup. Linux Mint is my #1 recommendation. It has enough basic features available through GUI menus that you probably won't need to use a terminal much early on.

Avoid Arch and Gentoo for your first install. Those are great but require a bit more knowledge upfront to set it up correctly.

 

[nekobit]

I'm only here to talk about how all the BSD's are actually superior and Linux is just a shitty low-effort clone of Windows. Everything the BSD community worked for, they fought for. Linux lusers just grabbed and slammered everything from the Windows or macOS world and poorly immitated it 16 different times creating a fractured broken ecosystem. BSDtards actually got together to make good documentation and well structured systems... I don't think I'd ever touch a Linux system again.

Linux is nothing more than a political message than an operating system. I'm not going to say macOS is much better but it was definitely better in the Mac OS X era. Still a faggot OS, unfortunately I have one that I use with some thing called OpenCore Legacy patcher that lets me run numacOS on an older macbook

 

[nekobit]

I used to use these distros a lot but honestly it really hurts when you realize they are entirely a meme.

Many of these lusers will claim that having a custom installer allows for less control. They're wrong and retarded, anyone can manually install a Linux distro of any type if they really want to, it's just that Arch doesn't give you any option. Majority of people do use a base setup. Only Void Linux and the *BSD's at least let you mix a graphical installer alongside a text install.

Gentoo's portage was good, but the BSD ports/binary concept rapes it, considering that not EVERY package needs to be compiled, only the ones you really want.

@Quence I genuinely own and use a macbook sometimes and I want to say you are a gigantic faggot if you actually think they are "stable" good devices. Hard disagree. You need to patch them manually in some weird way if you want to get a good experience. Every new version of macOS is designed by pajeets with horrible optimization. It's not even that close to a BSD anymore considering its raped beyond repair anyway. Not to mention how absolutely inefficient the Window manager is... Windows did it better, so did every Linux window manager on the planet. macOS is designed to look good and nothing else.

It's only until the M2 that they got their shit together, but god damn, I absolutely would just recommend ANYONE get a fucking Thinkpad instead of a macbook. Worst laptop I've used.

I was leaning on Mint, but is there any reason to get a different distribution later on?

good suggestion, i didn't know that Linux would have OS that is "beginner friendly" like how you put it, but does it mean it's user friendly (not needing to use my brain to play video games on it) or would I still require some form of instruction manual to set up Linux Mint?

for a typical person, the only reason you'd look at changing distros would be over some specific feature that your current one doesnt offer.

 

[Quence]

Been thinking about switching to a Linux distribution, but I haven't gotten around to it.

and that’s the common issue with all flavours of Linux. Even for the supposedly ‘user friendly’ versions like Mint, you’ll have to tinker and tinker and then tinker some more to get it to function properly.

Granted, some people really enjoy all of that tinkering, but are you willing to treat the time sink that is Linux like a second job?
