  • You answered all of them , but they are tangent to what point ibam trying to make.

    As a SIMPLE TON OR A NEWBIE YSING LINUX ,this is all I can’t and won’t be doing , using windows is not disappointing because SIMPLY it works , like number 6 first part is easy no . The second part WHY WOULD I DO IT ? FOR 5th you have to use R and gnu plot because libre office is well SHIT at at those , where as excel can do it natively. Wine does not make it better except for few program to be used in Linux, the tool intended to it’s work is HALF baked. Please try to do 1 and 2 in zorin and Pop is and see how far it takes to complete the process , If you want I can put I stopwatche and tell you time it took to do it in windows. Not to mention use of HDD , in windows i attach it and VOILA! Its the one I use it ACROSS ANY AND ALL APPS not a single mount -a-B–ë stuff I have to do .



  • Okay i been this with a lot Linux does not work if you are trying to use it at even likely advance stage

    1. I can’t find where exe is
    2. I can’t put that exe in start-up of system (tried it on zorin and pop os )
    3. Wine won’t open lot of programs
    4. Libre office has came long way but make a doc in libre office and tried to open in word later it’s a mess and can’t work that for CV
    5. Excel is THE tool to be used in many cases, can’t be used powerfully in Linux.
    6. There is need to use terminal multiple times for lot of things Linux is NOT useful, windows might be forcing but it’s a ripe operating system. Across all Linux distors even the shell is not same.







  • I came in to say bravo, Since day 1 on Lemmy i been hounded by Linux dude bros , whenever I say Linux is not possible I been down voted to hell.

    Even as simple thing as putting a program in start-up is hassle and varies depending upon distribution, and I went on rabbit hole just like you said.

    Even the friendlier(?) versions like pop os and zorin in 2024 and no where near to use ability as windows 95 is.

    The worst thing is use of command/terminal , I simple just don’t want to use it at all, but not possible to do that STILL in Linux and dude bros keep telling me this is essential and their grandparents are using mint. This is believable only if they surf Internet and not do anything extra at all, that too since flash is dead , cause I have first hand experienced that I had to play with multiple command lines and what nots just to get YouTube working on Linux .

    Linux is not ready to be used in home setting not unless it simplifies further as much as windows does AND has lot ofnsoftwarws availability. Think of something and thwr is software for it on windows , hardly the case for Linux ANY DISTRO.

    now we await on Lemmy , for Linux dude bros to come out and defend Linux with 4% usage and down votes.







  • At that level of money and wealth and living, you dont feel bad at all, cause everything is okay. He felt great just saying it and 1000 of people read it . Anybody who does no agreww with him is just small fraction of people who did not say anything, so its a win for him. You see this in most of the rich people, if there is strike going outside and of one of the operation manager just close the door of factory and contains it outside , its a win for them , unless something is not touching their money directly and helping them blind side problem its a SOLID win in their books .its like they can’t/don’t think that far. It’s side effect of ingot mine , so you can go away mentality, they become highly myopic


  • Hell forget about AutoCAD, what about word and EXCEL. now you and Linux dudebros will tell me there are alternatives on Linux like libre office and what not. To them I say this

    1. Make a document in libreoffice , try to save it as docx and see what says libreoffice, or make a doc in word and adjust formatting, try to open same doc in libre office and see what shit show it becomes
    2. Hand down no body can beat ms excel, on multiple platforms, the versality is not just complex formulas but functions like xlookup, index match , combined with VBA scripting with formulas that can low-key fight python , power tables are unparalleled, if you can replicate these without A SINGLE COMMAND line input for dumb users like us That would the win.


  • Or how about

    1. You can’t easily define what apps start with startup
    2. Even when wine is installed , lot of programs won’t run in wine
    3. You cannot easily find where the program is installed like you can in windows
    4. You attach a external disk but some apps won’t see it mounted making it Impossible to explore in their file picker , not all but some
    5. There is almost huge lack of programs , for which there is huge possibility that a windows program exists.
    6. There is constant need to use terminal for lot of things for which you can’t a program see point 4.

    I keep telling Linux is still not for common home use for users who are in between power users and people only using it for browsing. This will get me downvotes here on Lemmy all the time . Linux edge lords are their own bubble.
