Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can't use regular gas in them? No, I thought so

Photoshop is trash.

Minecraft works just fine (it's Java for crying out loud)

Steam works natively. Valve's most popular hardware device runs Linux.

Media player classic

You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?

without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows?

Two things here;

  1. You can get around on Linux without a terminal

  2. The terminal is king in functionality

  3. Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn't a Linux only thing

If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you're setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.

Photoshop is trash.

Krita is simply great.

Media player classic is not window Media player. Windows Media player is trash.

Photoshop might be trash (all of Adobe is, greedy little leeches), but it's what I've been using it for like 22 years now and I've tried to use gimp but it's just not the same, same with krita.

I know steam and MC work, I was just listing stuff I use, I think music bee might even have a Linux version, and he'll Linux might even have something better than Music bee. It usually does for media players.

I never insulted Linux, I have no idea why people act like I do. Maybe me choosing I ubuntu might be insulting, but Linux having 6k options for me to pick is my own choice.

I used to use mpc-hc so I feel you, but I did just check their site and it literally has a banner saying "MPC-HC is not under development since 2017. Please switch to something else." mpv is pretty good.

music bee is a bit trickier. There are roughly 5000 music players for linux and they all seem to have every feature you want except for one. Sayonara came the closest for me, I haven't used it recently so maybe its better now but all I found it lacking was some smart playlist stuff.
