How? I have been trying to switch people to linux for over a year and failing

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Just give up on any productivity software. And any specialty software unrelated to programming. And games.

Source: programmer that uses Linux daily.

Gaming on Linux is pretty good nowadays. I've only run into one or two games I couldn't get working. The vast majority of games work with Proton right out of the box

Office on the Web can work for many people. I don't know how many people actually use speciality softwares outside of Office, they must not be many. Games are pretty much click and play now, only some pesky anti-cheat that demands kernel access remains, but not every gamer plays those games.

Adobe suite is another big one. I know folks who have to use windows for Premier, Photoshop, illustrator ect. If Adobe ported their stuff to Linux, that would be a huge shift in the market

Still doesnt work, even when the person is only using a web browser

My reason was being that I couldn't get HDR to work properly in KDE 6 plasma. Also 90% of the features from my graphics card that I use on a daily basis are missing in Linux.

If I didn't have cutting-edge hardware paired with an Nvidia GPU, I would have already switched by now. I build a new PC once every decade, so I'll check back in about 3-5 years once my hardware has aged enough that people are writing proper drivers for it that goes beyond the bare-bones featureset.

I gave them laptops, Linux mint pre-installed. I used to buy auction lots of broken laptops, so I got them for like $10 each. Threw in an SSD. It works as fast as a new machine for browsing the new and watching YouTube. I also pre-installed some common programs to get them started.

Wait wait wait... where do you get these? That sounds amazing lol.

It was a thrift store auction website, when they first started there was almost no one bidding, so I won TONS of awesome things for cheap. Eventually more and more people joined and the auctions are not as easy to find deals.
