Thanks for explaining, didn’t know that part about memory safety. I agree, for new apps it makes more sense to pick Rust over C/C++ (unless maybe if you’re a C veteran). However, if it’s just as fast as C/C++, wouldn’t it make sense to leave existing C/C++ apps as they are (as long as you don’t want to add new functions)? Not judging, just genuinely curious (especially since Rust hat stirred up some drama among Linux maintainers, from what I have heard)
How come that so many C/C++ apps are being rewritten in Rust? Is it faster/safer, or is it rather a coding exercise?
I wonder if developers will finally start taking middle end GPUs and the existing handhelds seriously
They’ll have to, soon enough, if they wanna continue selling games
And all that just for some shitty AI that’s getting all its questions wrong
KDE Plasma is very nice if you come from Windows and don’t mind an environment that’s somewhat heavy on performance - personally, I think it’s the closest, modern Windows-like experience. XFCE is very lightweight, but not very modern, as far as I remember.
Don’t forget, you can also install multiple environments and then pick one from your login screen; that way you can try them all and see what fits best
Oh wow, all that hassle just for some DRM, as if that would prevent anything… Thanks for clarifying 👍
Aside from practicality, might there be something that gets lost if you do this? (e.g. worse frame rate, quality or sth. else)

After ignoring the TES games my whole life, I first played Oblivion a few years ago, and for once in a very long time, I felt the same feeling I did when playing GTA San Andreas for the first time as a little kid.
I spent the first 10hrs or so just stealing stuff and fighting in the Arena, didn’t even touch the main story. In Oblivion, there is soooo much stuff to do, and I didn’t even mod it.
Elden Ring is definitely a great game, but it’s pale in comparison to Oblivion when it comes to “freedom to do anything”. Even Skyrim couldn’t top that for me. Don’t know about Witcher 3 though, I have yet to play it.
It’s part of Project 2025, although there was a complete ban described
I thought for a second that he had his shitty AI edit the actual Wikipedia page, I hope they have a system in place that prevents this from happening

Huh, so it’s not something simple I have missed regarding why so much software is being rewritten in Rust… I see that appearing so often, so I thought there was maybe a bigger reason I’m not seeing. Anyways, thanks again, appreciate the explanations 👍
