you would expect them to provide drivers for their hardware
I'd correct: we would expect them to provide at least documentation.
A trash hierarchy designed to replace /usr/local, which I think is not much used on Linux, and cause compatibility problem with BSDs.
OP called users of the software stupid, not the software.
(in my opinion the software is stupid, and users of stupid software are stupid :) because desktop environment is inefficient compared to pure window manager, and keyboard-based wm)
Please,
Just use what you want.
Why we have to care much about software usage. This is the current issue of linux communities, which decrease user qualities.
Our enemy Microsoft and other "big tech" laugh people like these. They are using linux just like they use windows, even bring the bad, flawed windows culture to linux.
Don't let the enemy to laugh at us.
Linux is already broken :)
it’s a Linux issue
Not a linux's issue, though. When they don't have documentation, they can decide not to write a driver, and not to use proprietary drivers too.
But nvidia doesn't care about linux, doesn't target linux. And current "linux communities" can't do anything but whine.
Well, I’m not a Linux user and I say that as well. Nvidia does not just not care about Linux, they actively try to act against their open source driver implementation
Can you give more information on this?
+1
Telling people to just drop Nvidia is delusional
We can tell people that is going to buy a new computer to avoid nvidia :)
It’s Linux desktop contributers problem to fix.
We can't write drivers for platforms that we don't have documentation. linux desktop contributors dropping support for nvidia entirely is not a bad decision, though
Just let people use it.
In fact many "linux user" won't tolerate others' software :)
If nvidia is an evil, then why you suppose them to provide you free drivers.
Just drop nvidia.
advertising again.
Skimming your pdf it even talks about package building and delivery.
The talks shows the attitude of BSD communities to each others.
Which most linux communities doesn't have yet.
WHY THERE ARE NOT.
Please have a partition for /home. In fact, you need partition for /usr, /var,.. too
I agree, but that’s what a linux user would say…
"linux user" should be put in double quotes :)
Technically nVidia chose that fight, not Linux users.
nVidia is chocked full of proprietary implementations meant to bog down competition, for example all CUDA technology including translation layers are technically illegal to even look at without nVidia proprietary drivers.
This already described that Linux user started that fight, and they chose it.
But they cannot do anything than using the proprietary drivers, screaming about moral, propagating GNUism.
Crap is still insulting them though
No one wants their software to be called a "crap", so I will not puke out again.
personally I think gnome is really good
But many people doesn't take "personally". I wanted to write a post about this a few days ago but the op posted the meme.
"Linux users" cared about what their desktop environment looks so much.
This is my .cwmrc:
bind-key 4-s "bin/scrshot"
(EOF)
Well I’m still going to tell you that gnome is bad software both from the user experience and their unwillingness to implement basic features, and that you should be using helix.
I should?
I use what I want. (understand that you are advertising software here.)
I do, too. But only when I’m working on it. Otherwise, as long as stuff just works, I’m perfectly happy to keep the bonnet closed. That was quite different in my early days, I actually daily-drove linux from scratch in the early 00s, but at some point you either decide to become an OS developer, or you lose interest.
(See what technical issue I've written. See the pdf slides above.)
Side note there’s actually a project brining the glory of nix to the BSDs.
advertising. Don't care.
By calling them stupid you are actively participating in the fight yourself
Sorry :)
There are very valid reasons both for and against WMs
Whole point of Linux is allowing user choice, why get on people’s cases about what they can and can’t use
In my mind I call them "stupid" because I personally thinks desktop environments are "stupid". Sometimes this flew on the keyboard. Sorry for that.
A better word to describe those de/wm is "crap". Just my personal thought.
If you are gems in this limestone community I'd suggest you to get out of Linux instead :)
KDE is perfectly sufficient for my needs.
I'm actually praising that, since many Linux users care what desktop environment, what editor do others use. Just use what you want.
Look at the BSDs, they care about technical issues.
correct
