Can’t say what company, but a large company that provides education tools has been looking into ways to be less dependent on Microsoft. They have some of their employees currently using Linux computers right now. Some employees in the IT department still need a second Windows computer.

what’s the new wine?

You have to spend a few seconds to actually learn how the apps install. By default you can only install flatpaks but they have containers to install apps from any distro too. You can’t install apps natively unless you use one extra command.

Linux has been kinda great with ARM due to devices like the Rasberry Pi. Ubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro all offer ARM variants

In India nobody texts on anything but WhatsApp and in Puerto Rico no buisiness has a website it’s all just Facebook pages. I am a huge privacy advocate but unfortunately I still depend on terrible tech due to the stubbornness of society.

I use the Steam Link app on my desktop to use keyboard + mouse on the Deck. For content from Epic, GOG, and Amazon I find Heroic Launcher to be the easiest since it’s a native Linux app and has a simple “add to Steam” button. For emulation, I use Emudeck, for everything else I use Bottles or Lutris.

So odd that the open source platform that allows sideloading and doesn’t even come with an app store by default is the one that is a monopoly but the locked down one with total control over your device is not.

Some Android flavors even come with other app stores. Samsung phones have their own Samsung app store that even includes Fortnite.

Other than being completely unable to run Wayland, secure boot, and being forced to use a propietary driver what kind of things are specifically wrong with Nvidia on Linux? Maybe it’s because I switched to Linux fairly recently but I haven’t noticed many Nvidia specific issues yet.

Beeper Mini is also unfortunately closed source

tyler mcvicker is saying they are working on something half life related

Bottles makes using Wine real simple.

It’s an immutable distro that simplifies running Android apps and containers for software from other distributions. It uses it’s own tool for immutability called ABRoot that also allows you to safely install native packages when needed.

The announcement was made in the Discord

screenshot was gnome video player

I was actually using Celluloid before but videos were not playing until I used the commands you gave. Gnome videos is now crashing but I don’t care as much since Celluloid is now working

i’ve actually already followed that exact guide and it still is not working

already have it

I wasn’t aware of that and I was on 16.3 before I switched to Fedora. Still couldn’t run GPT4All unfortunately D:

I just switched from ZorinOS to Fedora due to constantly running into software that is too new for the Ubuntu 20.04 base that ZorinOS 16 runs on. It is a great beginner distro and I even installed it on a friends computer and another friends grandmas computer and they both loved it. But if you require the latest software you may want to wait until ZorinOS 17 releases later this year.

Some of the software incompatibility issues can be solved just by using the Flatpak verison of it but if there is no Flatpak then you are really screwed. I couldn’t run GPT4All, JellyfinRPC, ani-cli, or use the workaround to use audio in your screenshare on Discord. (until someone bundled that workaround into a Flatpak Discord client). These are all pretty niche things and for the average user you’ll probably be fine though.
