For fucks sake

VirtualBox?

Adobe Fireworks CS4, the best general image editor to date.

Is that all?

Skype, Cortana, Windows Store, muh gayms, and all the spyware that lets them tell when I have a virus and phone in to warn me.

>Skype
Works on Linux
>Cortana
It's not a traditional software, it's a voice assistant so it can't do what you can't do yourself
>Windows store
What use?
>gay men
gaming is that important? Just buy a toy - PS4 or something

Was just dealing with that popup a couple of minutes ago. I guess windows updates around the same time for users in the US?

>Fireworks
Abandonware, with last release more than 4 years ago?

Anyways fireworks CS5 and CS6 works on Linux via WINE

Isn't Wine buggy and inefficient?

Holy shit, people actually use Cortana? I thought it was just useless Siri-tier shit.

Been using Office 2010 and Photoshop CS6 with no issue actually

it's meant to act like windows, that's the point

Yes, it is. Wine is VERY hit and miss with programs, and it's MISS 80% of the time.

I meant in the way it runs programs.

Windows programs are incredibly stable and efficient, even if Windows itself is garbage.

ReactOS.

But it's buggy as shit.

>finding it even worth mentioning
i see that tripfags still unintentionally shitpost

Just disable automatic updates and configure it to simply notify you when something new is available. Then you can choose to install it whenever you want, works perfectly at least on Pro.

ReactOS is an alternative... no idea if it's usable yet though.

Windows 8.1

>But it's buggy as shit.
So it's just like Windows.

It's pretty true though. Almost everyone I know doing audio/video stuff has a macbook. Some of the guys I do stuff with use an asus rog but one wasnt satisfied and built a sick little matx box thats nice and portable. Probably gonna follow suit because I lug my fuckhuge tower to gigs

All audio on Linux is fucking garbage
MPV is still super early and lacks features

>MPV is still super early and lacks features
haha, what
the codebase goes back to 2002 and has been complete and stable for a fucking long time

>complete
>half the features require searching around for other peoples text to paste in

Dude, you get a gui like smplayer, don't be so salty.

Everything works great in Wine these days user.

>open source binary-compatible reimplementation of the world's most prominent closed source OS
>not worth mentioning on a board full of freetards

>All audio on Linux is fucking garbage
Care to give more details? There's bitwig for example:

I'm talking about ALSA

What? Sound is so smooth after pulseaudio came out

I see, what is the problem with alsa? i generally use it with pulseaudio tho.

Dear lord thank you for bot typing "daily driver"

-_-

autism

nah.
vmware is much faster, but even vmware is way behind speeds. my i7-4700hq struggles to run a guest, even though it's Haslel, and it's got vt-x and all that.

Longene.

Why is it that Cred Forums and Cred Forums think that they can give a useful answer in three words or less?
No Windows user will fully understand what the limitations and usage of a system kernal are.

If all the software you use is windows-only and does not run as intended through wine then why do you even want to run Linux? Insisting on Linux is just stupid then. And this is coming from a Linux fanboi.
Genuine question...

Because Windows is fucking trash.

vidya gaymes

>I'll leave these slow torrents downloading overnight they'll be finished by the morning
>Wake up to see Windows lock screen

Honestly it drives me mad why would they put this feature in or rather remove the feature where you can just install updates when you want.

Fucking kikes.

>he doesn't have a server
>he uses Windows

Because people who do graphic design have no fucking brain you fucktard.

They just copy each other thinking that they need it.

It's not really a meme, just a fact that's no longer true.

only if you're fucking retarded

>and no one ever gave further input

You don't literally use your computer 24hours a day, do you?

>system kernal

what?

>windows alternative

windows plebs should restrain to windows

thank you

oh wow look at you

No, but there are 24 hours in a day where I might be using my computer.

React OS would be interesting, if it could move a little faster in becoming an actual OS that's usable.

Just best to have a Windows computer for your games and Windows only software, then use Linux or get a Mac for your dragon dildo shopping needs.

Could Longene work as an actually-working substitute for ReactOS?

That's not what "Active" hours means. Believe it or not, if you're smarter than a Twitch streamer at least, then windows won't force restart while you're in the middle of something.

stop playing video games you sissy queer

for good measure:
- learn to program
- go to the gym
- stop drinking soda and energy drinks
- install a real operating system

Kill yourself faggot. Stay on windows if you want to keep your girlfriend.

Seeing as the last release was two years ago, no.

Still seems to be in development at least.

How would WotLK WoW run on Wine? That's the only game I ocassionally play

Tiny7, Qubes, ReactOS

I had Windows but it commited suicide by installing an update.
Welp, it was a good windows.

>wine
>windows altenative

Nice try, freetard.

Linux will never be an alternative to Windows because it simply isn't profitable.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dominated the OS market because their creations were profitable and user-friendly. Linux does not work out of the box like Windows or Mac do--you have to take the time to set up at least one thing, which is annoying for most people today in the age of instant gratification.

Chrome OS (and now andromeda) is the only loonix distro that has hope of becoming mainstream IMO.

So why does that make me a fucktard? I was just reinforcing the concept that audio/video/graphic design skew mac
While me and my crew don't
Why you so mad bro

Fairly well from what I recall. It got a platinum on WineHQ, and it uses OpenGL so Wine barely has to do anything.

Does anybody follow Wine's development?

How long until Wine makes Windows completely obsolete? I'm truly amazed that you can install Foobar through Wine and it just works as if it were a native program.

Wine will never make Windows obsolete.

It would make Windows obsolete if every program worked 1:1 the same as it does natively in Windows with no performance drops of any kind.

>worked 1:1 the same
But that's impossible.

Of course it's not, just incredibly unlikely.

Maybe they skew Mac, but his point was that in terms of practicality, macs aren't any functionally better for graphic design than Windows. The Adobe suite is available on both and that's all those hacks seem to use. The reason they skew Mac is because graphic designers are brain dead retards who like macs because they are shiny and expensive

>active hours

Jeez I remember when Windows 7 would just ask you if you wanted to install updates and if you said yes it'd have you restart when you were gonna shut down your computer not BEEP BEEP IM SHUTTING DOWN NOW

People think Macs are better for such things because it used to be true. They're just unaware that this isn't the ase anymore.

ReactOS uses the same Wine DLL implemetations, so it shares the same limitations as Wine.

ReactOS is worse than Windows XP

And?

ReactOS is a fairly accurate emulation of windows.

Windows 7 has security updates for the next four years. Why are you using Windows 10?

ReactOS is not an emulator

It was true at one point because macs had a lot of ram and the software for the time.

It was true because Macs weren't run of the mill x86 machines.

Fireworks is a deprecated piece of shit. Look for an alternative, and I don't even mean a freetard alternative. You'll find that fireworks is garbage.

last i checked, reactos could run windows programs natively

Use KVM then retard if you want hardware performance.

>Linux doesn't work out of the box
But most distros do.

YEAH LIKE XP TIER STUFF LOL

Fireworks is fucking awesome

Die in a fire fgt

wow, user

you are an amazing person.

>Pretty much all software I use though is made for Windows.

So use Windows. I don't pay for Windows and I haven't paid for PC OS or software since the Windows 98 era.

Free is just as free if you copy it (copying is not theft). Your use of free software doesn't give developers money. A Windows user who donated to FSF supports software freedom while a Gentoo user who only downloads it for his own use is arguably a leech.
