It’s greed. Not laziness.

Meanwhile in LibreOffice-land…

That is fair. My example was extreme, though. These people are just assholes. Do you throw away the code of an asshole because they’re an asshole?

I dunno…I struggle with this internally. Maybe I’m wrong. It’s a hard thing to rectify and I just wish people would stop being assholes to others.

That’s fair and I knew someone would make this argument. My example was a bit of an extreme, though. These people are assholes spreading asshole-ry. Not murderers.

See…when it comes to open source, it’s a little different for me:

I don’t support or condone any of these pricks, but I can mentally divorce, somewhat, the open source code contributions from the person, because their contributions are useful. If this was a closed source solution, it’d be different, because the code wouldn’t be released into the community. There are a lot of weird, closet-dwelling shut ins that fall into the extremist margins.

A lot of early medical knowledge, for example, was acquired from…less than morally clear ways. So do you just take that information and throw it away on principal? Does that make the death and pain of those people for nothing? Or do you use it and don’t condone the person or their actions? This is a difficult moral choice to make that is heavily debated by philosophy, media, etc. There are entire SciFi TV episodes, movies, and books written about just such a debate.

That said, I don’t know the usefulness of Hyprland. I’ve never used it and I feel like it’s pretty niche, so I’m surprised Framework aren’t telling this person to fuck off.

Things like this are why I use AMD.

Which Batman game is this from?

EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.

Doesn’t the Steam Linux runtime have a static glibc version in it that doesn’t change?

Devices don’t “need breaks”. This problem is indicative of a memory leak, which means they coded something shitty.

Sure, playing for 7 hours straight is excessive, but this shouldn’t happen.

It’s actually really neat. You should check it out.

I’m aware, but while it works with some features limited, it’s still Microsoft’s intention for you to purchase a license.

Especially one you have to PAY for

Why not stream it from Steam Link or via Game Pass?

I was in a similar boat. I’ve been using a Ryzen 5000-based mini PC for about two years now. It’s running:

Debian for stability

Flex Launcher for the 10ft TV UI

Flex Launcher has shortcuts for Plex HTPC, Netflix in a full screen Chrome page, etc.

An AirMouse Remote with a keyboard on the back and basic controls up front. It has 5 programmable IR buttons that I have bound to TV Power, TV Input, TV Select, and Sound Bar Vol-/+

My kids also use it for Steam and Retro gaming, so I have it launch ES-DE and Steam Big Picture Mode from Flex Launcher.

Other than the occasional tweaking, it has needed very little and been rock solid for about 2 years now. I have a cheap Android TV set top box still attached for when Grandma goes to use the TV. I can switch inputs and hand them the Google TV remote, but my wife, my kids, and I use the HTPC almost exclusively.

Its a point release, so that’s to be expected.

They also updated to kernel 6.14 and updated mesa to 25.0.7, which means for people like me with a Radeon 9060 XT, it’s no longer necessary to use a PPA for updated mesa.

I mean…sounds fine. Why is it “controversial”?

Was sudo broken in some way that makes rewriting it in rust appealing? Genuinely curious.

Linux gaming users are in the tens of millions of people. It’s not like this is some super tiny community. There are more Linux gamers than macOS gamers by around double.

About two years ago Linux gaming market share was hovering below 2%. Now it’s over 4%.

Yeah…it’s smaller than Windows by A LOT, but it’s continuing to grow every single month on the Steam Hardware Survey. With Proton, SteamOS/Bazzite, and the Deck Verified program, Linux gaming has gone from “this sucks” to “this works unless there is kernel anti-cheat”.

Linux has doubled its market share in the last couple years and is on an exponential growth curve right now. Valve’s push for Proton and Steam Deck has changed a lot.

Also, if Linux-based, non-Android phones or tablets became fully functional and feature complete, there would absolutely be a good number of people who would switch. I’d be one of them.
