I’m not sure I understand your question but to clarify :

Hyperland team and comunity members harassed FDO members and got banned from the freedesktop comunity.

The harasement from hyperland members pushed away fdo contributors who were working on wayland protocols

Pretty good post about the situation. I would just add a few thing :

The harasement from the hyperland project got so bad they are banned from FreeDesktop.org and I’ve seen how many talented people gave up on working on the Linux ecosystem because of that.

Right to repair does not match well with right wing politics (TL;DR AuthRight need control and in lib-right absolute capitalism having reparable stuff is a surefire to kill your company ) but it’s a murky and difficult subject so I understand why it’s not mentioned.

Also of note, framework didn’t advertise thoose project on fedi/mastodon so this seems like they had known from the start a backlash would occur.

If you are ok with emulation dolphin is pretty great. You can still find wiimotes for cheap and don’t need the sensor bar ( use two candle instead ). With that the entire wii games library is yours.

If you want natives games I would recomend indie couch games ( overcook, moving out, etc… ).

If you want to focus on gaming go for bazzite.with kde. If not go for fedora kde.

Both are close enough of W10 and will offer a good starting point.

If you want to learn linux try arch but I would advocate it as a daily driver unless you know what you are doing.

Gaylight saving fig1.

I can’t find anything online but I remember when I started using linux ( around 12 years ago ) I kept hearing stuff on IRC about how steam needed specific workaround in the X11 and how that was setting a bad precedent.

I hope it works with fractional scalling !

Valve should migrate steam to wayland eventually, the X code to run steam is not the cleanest thing ever.

Hi I recommend against using an Arch based distro like manjaro or cachyOS ( arch by nature demands active maintenance ) also depsite the brand name ubuntu is a very bad place to start ( due to them forcing snap packages ). Go for something like fedora kde or bazzite, most of the app you need can come from flathub.

For games you got Steam, Heroic ( for epic games ), lutris ( for everything else ). You will have to quit the habit of hunting .exe file online, most of your apps will come from your store ( discover in your case ).

Vms will not let you bypass anti-cheat stuff so keep that in mind. Check for game compatibility on protondb if needed. Don’t be afraid to ask question ( even dumbs one ).

Honestly this should be a wake call to the FOSS community that we are way too reliant on the US.

Every default we have is US centric and if FOSS is really meant for everyone we should move away from that.
