There's something that bothers me

Most of these are professional tools and their developers main source of profit is selling licenses for them (not all professional tools are monetized like that though)
Obviously it's hard to make something competitive for it on bare enthusiasm, this is what you're right about

But it's a low hanging fruit and not a big deal because probably less than 1% of people use those tools
Most of the everyday environment for an everyday person can be composed of free software

wow

LOL

What does this even mean?

ask musicians if they rather use pirated FL studio/protools and their 50 GB orchestral sample library than use linux and inferior software.

people will use the best tool, even if this means piracy instead of inferior solutions.

This has to be a joke. If not, you should go back to 4/g/, because there is more software in the world than "professional" artsy bullshit. For example:

Name a single good proprietary text editor (Sublime Text does NOT count.)

Name a single proprietary C compiler that can compete with GCC.

Name a single good proprietary web server.

Name a single good proprietary alternative to OpenSSH.

Explain to me, please, why, if "not a single FOSS software is at the same level than propietary software, in terms of ease of use, functions, stability, quality and features," 498 of the 500 fastest supercomputers run Linux, and why the Internet runs on free Unix systems like Linux and BSD so that you can get up and write such a worthless retarded post.

That's right, so what? These specific professional tools make a minority of a software market. I mean, what is this argument about in the first place?

Actually most people who pirate professional tools are unskilled retards because they can't make a cent even with those tools, so they aren't really worth worrying about. Companies usually avoid piracy like fire because mass piracy incurs real penalties, and professionals can afford the software because they are not unemployed.

FOSS shit is way better in the realm of software development and servers. The issue is no one cares about your faggy house music.

wow

so, let's disregard a sizable market of users (artsy bullshit are billion dollar industries) for just one single market (engineering).

Videogames, film and music, advertising, publishing, comics are billion dollars industries.

Linux doesn't have any good professional audio software.
Sad

Engineering is how computer systems are created in the first place. Without it, a computer is not a tool, but an appliance for mindless consumption.

Linux could learn a lot from the BSDs' sound systems (which actually work.)

I'm trying to say linux can't simply focus on just the OS and kernel and expect people to use it if the tools it has for a lot of industries (multimedia) are simply garbage.

Multimedia is a niche market. In the 90's, most computer animation was done on SGI systems running IRIX. That didn't make IRIX more popular than Windows.

...

acording to whom?

Ardour is garbage.
LMMS is literal garbage.

they can't even use VST

rosergarden is garbage.
hydrogen is comparable to a cheap free FL studio VST.

What else do linux have?

Audacity is the only that seems to have a legit use.

>muh high IQ normie-targeted cartoon
Eew. It's like you are a retarded consumerist Gen Z.
REDDIT PLEASE FUCKING LEAVE US ALONE

Main PC user market is still media consumption
There's plenty of competitive FOSS browsers and media players
And there's plenty of FOSS tools to satisfy hobbyists in various creative endeavors

Also you're slowly changing the subject

If it's a matter of Linux popularity of a platform then having FOSS competition to professional tools is irrelevant. Again, this is a tiny market in relation to general population of PC users. And if Linux manages to get a sizeable audience of non-professionals then companies will just port their pro tools to Linux more often.

So it's not worth fighting for at this moment and it will solve itself later if/when Linux gets rid of it's current issues as a general purpose desktop OS.

Maybe? try a little bit harder?

FOSS is king in server, video player, and programming.

why normies don't use linux if linux already has that media consumption software?

linux only matters for engineers and CS code monkeys.

but we're talking about multimedia production.

Normies are lazy faggots. Like genZ

Lmao that's windows. Windows is king in CAD and VS.
Unix or unix alike systems are widely used in professional real world shit.
Look at CERN
Google X
Google literally uses gentoo's portage so they could upgrade their x86 servers into POWER.
Look at ANDROID, literally the smartphone king and everyone takes it for granted. All of the stuff there are FOSS. The point is the FOSS developers aren't being paid enough. They even work for free. Maybe if all people stopped subscribing to Adobe CC and poured all the cream in FOSS projects then we'll see a change, maybe like how Android took over the industry in like the first try.

Pirating, with a very fascist egress firewall setup Siemens NX, for example, phones home to rat on you in the best bet after using FOSS software. The problem with FOSS is that the integration and polish work to get an FL Studio is boring and tedious, therefore the most likely people to do it are paid people. Wonder why systemd came out and why Linux apes Solaris with inferior reinventions? Because it's literally more fun to redesign the the core and architecture for the fourth time in a decade than it is to exhaust a configuration space between two integrated components and hunt down every corner case.

My solution: a modified GPL where a proprietary project can directly modify or use FOSS in their costly proprietary projects and be under an X-month grace period for releasing or disclosing the proprietary source code thereby giving companies the right to use FOSS in a closed manner in exchange for the source code to each proprietary binary being made available after X-months for upstream integration. This way, like a patent, there is a time period where amortized cost put into integration and polish can be made up for before being forced to open it.

wew, I love to have brain damage.

even normalfags have pirated photoshop to edit their school and family photos.
Picasa and sony vegas are used by normies to edit their wedding videos.

normalfag kids need some software to make their minecraft videos.

and so on.

Open Toonz is a thing and it's pretty powerful.

newgrounds animators use flash.
western companies use toom boom.
gooks use RETAS pro.

nobody uses open toonz beyond studio ghlibi.

I like how it is Open Source but not Free Software. That's a rarity.

sure, studio glibli is not small deal.

but It's a windows sofware.
It literally lags on linux and the other parts of it are windows only (like the scanner clean tool).

So, no.
I've used it.

You have no patience and you complain too much.
Are you okay?
You're asking for something that doesn't exist in linux yet you complain about it. Classic.
Maybe try to KVM and run literally all well-known software in a linux box.

...

Mostly because Linux has shitton of unsolved desktop problems, starting from hardware issues to standard segregation and unstable APIs. Software freedom is a vague benefit and you need to provide stellar experience to compete with Windows for audience, and Linux can't do that yet.

Most of this is covered by FOSS tools. If you're an amateur chances are that you won't need strictly professional tools to work.

People like , who absolutely need to surround themselves with all different kinds specifically of most expensive software are special kinds of retards who think that they surely are good at something, they just didn't found a program good enough to uncover their special talent just like the mom said.

...

Tools complement skill not vice versa

Most people simply aren't professionals. Expensive specialist software simply isn't relevant when 99% of people just use a browser, office package, and Paint.

Post your work

Maybe If you played a real instrument you'd know how to use it

Krita is good. GIMP could use some improvement. I haven't tried any video editing software, but we have Blender at least.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the look of a lot of free software to proprietary shit, and find free software has more features. Of course, this is because I prefer the old designs and having lots of options to the new touch screen friendly shitty GUIs and their "simplicity." Fuck ribbons, fuck material design, fuck the lack of customization, fuck normies

bait/10

Oh look! it's the wincuck10 faggot shitting about FOSS again. If you don't like the software, why don't you fucking fork it and make it better faggot! Unlike (You), not everyone here wanted their life to be cuck'd by developers. In fact there are bunch of features in FOSS which more than enough to make good music. How about you keep practicing in getting good at using it you illiterate fuck. I bet you don't even know how to install some of kickass plugin from github.

It's probably that tiny clump of brain cells irritating the solid bone of yoyr skull.

Other than systems related software FOSS is largely subpar compared to proprietary stuff. For FOSS maximalists, the decision to use the software they do is an ideological choice rather than a practical one. Ask yourself, if the software you're using is self contained, isn't scamming you or spying on you, does it make a difference to you if its FOSS if it works well? Another thing is so often free software would be so much more functional to use with some simple UX changes. Are you willing to put in the time to make these changes? Or are you more interested in using said software to create and do things? At the end of the day, its a lifestyle choice. Sure its nice to contribute to different FOSS projects, but for complex powerful software, unless you're already a highly competent developer in whatever related niche field, and you're already a user then you're better off pirating the superior nonfree software. More often than not having a company with a team of experienced developers will yield better software than software written by a small group of enthusiasts.

Isn't that from the EULA for the binaries that Dwango distributes? Doesn't cover it for anything that was compiled from source. And AFAIK, they never distributed official Linux binaries.

Is it just me, or is this painfully-obvious bait?

Are you stupid?
Supercomputers aren't used as much for multimedia editing, save maybe for pixar's and such. Most of it is number crunching for scientific fields.

FOSS is unsustainable for the same reason that socialism is. There is no incentive for hard work or innovation. You reduced your application's memory use by 85%? Great work buddy now triage these 200 bugs written in Google translated English.
The only way to make it big in FOSS is to get hired by someone who will pay you, and FOSS doesn't have the stop-loss prevention method of throwing you in the gulag or shooting you in the back of the head if you quit like socialism does.

Money is an incentive, fagboy

You are confused if you believe that free software means that "no profit is allowed".

Yeah, because torvalds is dirty poor, right?
Stupid nigger.

That's bullshit. In all areas, proprietary software is superior to open source shit.
Microsoft Office is superior to Libre Office
Foobar2000 is superior to any linux shit player
Microsoft Visual Studio is superior to any shit linux IDE
IrfanView is superior to shit linux image viewers
VMWare is superior to virtualbox (and virtualbox isn't even free)
Homm is superior to shit Battle for Wesnoth
Paint.NET is superior to lightweight linux graphic editing tools
Sony Vegas is superior to any shit linux video editing
...

I only know two open source shits that are better than proprietary alternatives. Those are MPC-HC and Avidemux.

what? almost nobody who program professionally and make money from it use linux shit
Professional software is made in Microsoft Visual Studio.

no, it isn't. In nigger FOSS tools you need to study nigger manuals for weeks to be able to do simplest things. Whereas in superior proprietary software you just run it and click on buttons and creators and achieve what you want in a minute.

So why aren't open source niggers paid to make good software and good GUI?

You don't know what you're talking about. Nobody is going to do what you've said here.

So why niggers above disagree with ?
There is no incentive, no money, for developing open source, free software, with great GUI and usability.

False.

op which proprietary torrenting client do you recommend for superior ease of use, functions, stability, quality and features?

i trust you will do the needful and recommend for me i will trying to into proprietary software you convince me. okay peace dude.

Hi reddit.

Intel C Compiler

Rest of the post is true, though.

The internet runs mostly on *nix.
The scientific community runs most on *nix.
The military runs mostly on *nix,
Supercomputers run mostly 9n *nix.

Oh, but for the really important stuff like gaming, making memes, and browsing porn stes and chans, yeh, use the really *good* software.
