This is what true enshittification of Windows 11 is, unless you pirate the enterprise version.

This really shows that we need more competition. Linux is not seen as an alternative given the lack of commercial software support (e.g. lack of Adobe apps, which is used in the creative industry, etc, along with apps that only work on Windows and/or Mac).

This is why I use a Mac instead of Windows, because I don't like Windows, but I have a laptop that runs Windows to run a few apps that are Windows only. But only having two viable choices isn’t that great, likewise with iOS and Android.

If only BeOS, OS/2, etc. was still a thing, maybe it wouldn't be this bad.

Also, Windows 7 was the last “good" Windows OS until it basically turned to crap.

@chikorita157
- Java was supposed to save us as the multiplatform tech
- Then people started abusing multiplatform engines like Unity
- Now we're at browser-as-a-platform with Electron at the forefront

Oh yeah, I forgot about QT. Used it only once :blobfoxterrified:

VSCode runs on Electron, so we're all pretty much doomed.

Sorry for the random rant. But yeah, if everything is multiplatform, hopefully a proper Linux distro will rise up.

But I agree that specialized apps will be the main problem. :ablobcatnodmeltcry:

@yon@sakurajima.moe @anianimalsmoe@sakurajima.moe @chikorita157@sakurajima.moe sorry for barging in, and i'm not guaranteeing that i'd help but just out of pure curiosity - what demands do u have that aren't being met (by Linux) if u don't mind me asking?

@irfan Yeah the problem with just grabbing the latest of everything all the time is that it breaks, and it requires an awful lot of bandwidth sadly:(

I’d like a happy medium. I think homebrew for MacOS is great for instance. I know they have to for Linux as well, but I fear it lacks in user base.

Oh, and I don’t use Windows at all. In fact I don’t like any Windows GUIisms and am very disappointed in any distro that tries to make Windows users feel at home. Opposite effect on me :)
