This is coming from someone who has been coding for 20+ years so don't give me the "you just don't understand it" garbage. I never understood the obsession with Linux Desktop. I try 2-3 distros every year and always end up going back to my PAID Windows Pro license after about a week. The amount of googling I have to do in order to get basic things to work, like Wifi after a new install, is not a good return on my time. The last distro I tried was 6 months ago, and was supposed to be the Mac Daddy of all Linux distros: Arch. After a long and seemingly pointless install process, the system update after first getting to the desktop bricked the system. If I have to TTY after a fresh install in order to uninstall updates the operating system itself recommended, then this is not only a tremendous joke but a serious and unacceptable design flaw. Rule # 1 in software dev: never let the user break the system. The only good thing about it is the package manager, but everything else is a disorganized, diseased, broken mess. You really do get what you pay for. If you can't afford a $100+ Windows License you probably shouldn't be trading anyway. I'm not sure why anyone would risk live capital on a WINE implementation of Sierra Chart. I tried the Parallels/Crossover thing on Mac and that was even worse. Run it native or don't run it at all. Splitting the already small dev team to support an operating system that has such a small user base seems like a pointless waste of time, money, and resources. TLDR: move out of your Mom's basement, you're 35, and go buy a Windows License. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-06-10 09:58:06
