and we do it at work because it makes things easier in the long run!

great idea to do some of this stuff at home too.

extremely rare microsoft W

what demand??

where are my penguin boys at. 🐧

seriously people. the majority of you don’t have to put up with this, you know that right?

“license cost” is a stupid problem to have in the first place. adopt a foss standard, why won’t this get through to these thick skulled morons.

they are already on 4.0, way past 3. they are uncomfortable, in uncharted territory.

both. they can also work together for windows games to run predictably through proton without the need for distro-specific tweaks.

that’s because proton is not an emulator but a translator, so it’s interacting directly with the aforementioned system libraries and kernel instead of emulating those.

it’s part of how it can be so fast.

different distros have different environments. as in different libraries, versions and ways of accomplishing the same tasks. this is good for the linux ecosystem but bad for developers who want a predictable and stable set of tools they can build upon.

this system addresses just that by providing this stable set of libraries and tools developers can target instead.

eli5 it’s basically so your choice of distro doesn’t affect game compatibility, and developers don’t have to add manual support for every distro a user might want to run.

yes. some custom roms are built atop of older drivers.

happens because of how closed the ecosystem truly is.

i’d say it’s more secure than stock rom any day.

i think the steam machine will help. it’s a computer that’s bound to be popular for more normie kind of people, and runs linux.

plenty of technical people left to switch too, that haven’t been so annoyed just yet.

my hope is that they implement it and we get another wave of people on linux

🐧

they profit from every crisis already. can’t let a good one go to waste.

if your phone supports it. i’d love that option on mine for sure!

also what’s usually a very outdated os and kernel. it’s cool to play with but they make it hard to be practical.

people sadly forgot this truth. so corpos can do whatever the hell they want for now.

further proof their homophobia is performative to have the peasants infighting about trans people they probably never met in their life.

can i take advantage of it outside europe?

yeah, kind of defeats the entire purpose, when the thing can simply update itself and keeps acting like a rootkit.

can’t wait to have it unthemed and ugly on my libadwaita machine 🤪
