Why would you expect a kernel to do any of those things?
Samuel Rodriguez
this is why linux will never be popular
Carson Hughes
D Modeling (no Zbrush)
Maya, the most widely used modeling/animation software, is available, among many others.
>>Music Production (no VSTs / no MIDI)
Bitwig is pretty reasonable. Not sure why you're saying no MIDI?
>>Video Editing
Davinici Resolve, Nuke?
>>Game Development
Unity!
If you're looking for something to complain about, point to CAD.

No, it will never (not in near future) be popular because it’s not bundled on Walmart shitbooks and there’s no commercial need for a 3rd desktop OS when people are familiar with Windows and macOS. There’s also no company pushing for GNU/Linux as a consumer product.
None of this is the fault of the kernel or other OS components and this thread doesn’t fix anything.
As far as your claim on desktop environments - GNU/Linux attracts autism and powerusers who are willing to be inconvenienced to learn a better way to use computer systems. Desktop environments go against this by sacrificing efficiency for ease-of-use. Desktop environments imply there is a particular set of software that should be included with every installation. This isn’t how it works for a poweruser, the poweruser has their own set of applications to fit them and their workflow, forced unremovable “apps” are an unused annoyance.
GNU/Linux is damn good for a free as in freedom and free as in beer creation. The best thing about it is you can go make it not-suck by your terms unlike a Windows or macOS installation where you have to live with some decisions made for you.
Maybe GNU/Linux just isn’t for you.

if you think linux is trying to be popular, you really have no idea what you're talking about

Thanks for reminding me OP, it's very important to remember about it and think about it all the time. Awesome post!

bitwig without VSTs is useless. good look getting a bunch of midi devices to play nice with Linux, also.

what makes you think you can't get VSTs to work?
