There are multiple more or less brainy analyzes that try to respond to the market share of Linux in desktop systems, very low considering the quality of its code and the great acceptance of the free system in other technological sectors. Linux problems on the desktop that contrasts with the system situation in other technological fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25b8Too many Linux package managers make learning difficult<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many Linux newbies start with Ubuntu, which has become the most popular GNU \/ Linux distribution. In the command line interface (powerful in Linux and offering full control and access to the computer), these users will learn the apt package manager commands, since it is the one used by Ubuntu. Sadly, these new Linux users think apt is the only package manager. There are many other managers like dpkg, YUM, Pacman or the base RPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25b8Lack of software<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a delicate subject because the most purists of Linux point out wonderful alternatives to the great developments in Windows and \/ or Mac that can be used for basic use but in a more professional environment this alternative software may not be valid. Examples such as professional video editing is an example of the lack of software in Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond professional applications, the video game section is another of the great problems. There are few exceptions to native Linux games despite being able to run Windows Linux games based on emulators or on digital platforms such as Steam where Valve is betting on the Linux platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25b8Hardware compatibility<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Although hardware support for Linux has advanced a lot, this section continues to penalize the free system and there are too many devices that are not supported, not only because of drivers but also because of the lack of specific software for them. This lower hardware compatibility compared to Windows or Mac is largely attributable to the manufacturers themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are multiple more or less brainy analyzes that try to respond to the market share of Linux in desktop systems, very low considering the quality of its code and the great acceptance of the free system in other technological sectors.
