No reason for a full compatibility layer when we already have GNOME

Really wanna try a perma switch from Fedora just cuz they include a nice grub theme lmao.

Plus I like that its proper rolling instead of staged releases.

One one hand, a superior ROM choice

On the other hand, subpar crappy Google hardware

Would bet cash money this article was sponsored by Tim Sweeny, who is also a billionaire lol.

Not saying this excuses Gabe Newell in any way, but this was made purely to attack Valve’s newly announced product.

They had no issue when a billionaire with an order of magnitude more wealth than both Tim or Gabe went around advertising his shitty Amazon MMO:

It’s impossible to say where New World will be in a year, whether it will be on the road to obscurity or finally giving World of Warcraft something to sweat about, but right now it’s a huge success that validates the commitment and patience Amazon has taken with it. Bezos may not have had a direct hand in its creation, but as the person who greenlighted Amazon’s foray into gaming more than a half-decade ago, you can understand his pride in it.

Problem is Microsoft has leverage in several enterprise categories like teams, office, etc.

There have been successful corporate switches in Linux, with even dedicated 1:1 UX skins to keep even the most poorly skilled users happy, but lots of corporations are just way too vendor locked.

It doesn’t matter how total garbage win 11 or teams gets, anyone locked in is gonna be stuck, kinda like what happened with vmware.

Microsoft’s biggest mistake though is basing their QoL and overall OS design on the home market. If they lose their leverage there, even mid size or older corps may seriously consider transitioning or trialing Linux as a test.

It’s very hard to convince leadership to abandon vendor locked deals, but they eat up anything that demonstrates slashed costs and improved productivity. If a vendor like SUSE shows up with a complete package, they may genuinely consider if MSFT takes a real nosedive.

Watching the boot log eh?

This is the same BS CrowdStrike uses to sell their rootkit EDR. I mean, by all means it is a very solid EDR, but it’s being used exclusively to cover gaping holes in discrete security as a cop out for not properly composing enterprise infrastructure.

A kernel space agent should only really be running in an environment where every process must be heavily scrutinized and the design of the kernel module is tightly controlled and itself under constant review, like in a proper data center with thousands of critical nodes. Not your laptop or the shitty windows box used to display ads in the screens at the airport.

Crowdstrike keeps spamming new features and techniques without serious consideration to keep their enterprise customers happy, similar to crappy solutions like Vanguard.

Covering obvious blatant logic flaws should be included in your server software, it’s the same as sanity checking your inputs because there is always the possibility in may not match what you expect.

From that experience, I’m very comfortable saying that if a game supports Proton or Linux, they’re not serious about anti-cheat

This statement is especially insulting to the massive library of games that successfully added Linux support without so much as a hint of issue relating to cheating. Even crappy outsourced dev War Thunder doesn’t need to do anything after enabling EAC/BattilEye because they actually spend the .000001% extra cash from their whale revenue to run a service moderation team.

Hell even Valve’s VAC system is mostly just about automating moderation tasks so that hackers can be taken down ASAP instead of a lengthy review process.

Or you know, the thousands of games that have better game logic than Rust’s anticheat.

Me flipping on reverse thrust and parking brake before touching the ground in FSX because I’m like 100 kts above the landing speed

Sad, you can still do this with youtube for the time being

Both. WIndows 8 added a ton of unnecessary operations, part in due to the horrendous new PWA system they made to replace all the proven software.

NTFS meanwhile functionally reflects FAT32. It has no proper block allocation algorithm, so files get fragmented and placed in poor locations all over the physical disk. Tools like defraggler became super popular because they provided serious and visible IO gains from defragging your drives.

Compare that to ext4 which only begins to fragment once you hit something like 95%+ capacity.

The funny thing is even though it has been done, there’s not even that much of an incentive to do it because Windows on consumer side has so little defense that most attackers opt for lazy premade viruses sold on the darkweb, and Windows on enterprise side is so insanely insecure that the only groups that make high end rootkit level software are usually government backed APTs.

Microsoft also very conveniently avoided making a new filesystem from old ass NTFS because SSDs started popping up around the time Window’s IO operations were clogging every old machine with HDDs.

I remember upgrading from 7 to 8 and the disk IO just sat at a solid 100% at idle lol.

Because GNOME is the default, which any new user is likely to pick and then gain the impression that the desktop experience on Linux is subpar (more likely for former windows users imo).

This is basically what happend to me and I missed out on using Linux for several years because I thought it wasn’t ready, when it turns out stuff like Compiz already figured out excellent UX design more than a decade ago.

Nice to see Fedora Workstation go down and Fedora KDE go up.

Stop trying to use GNOME lol

GNOME alone is like 60% of the reason why stock Ubuntu and all of its derivatives suck. It’s like a mashup of ChromeOS and MacOS, two of the most god awful UX designs this past decade.

Compiz by itself kicks GNOME out of the water, despite it being a now legacy compositor from 2007.

Most annoyingly, even RPM distros like Fedora offer it as default, despite having a fully supported KDE option right there, along with any other DE that you might want like XFCE, LXQt, Cinnamon, MATE, etc.

Every Villain Is Lemons

I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet

Brrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzraaaaaaaaaarahahahahahaugh

The funniest thing about proprietary nvidia drivers on linux is that they’re still easier to install than using the GeForce app lmao.

dnf install akmod-nvidia

No sign in to a fat game launcher ad ridden app to upgrade your GPU driver

Mainline linux on mobile is solving this problem as we speak: https://postmarketos.org/

I expect a full collapse of the Google Android behemoth about the same time we get Half Life 3.

Xfce 4.20

On my way to attempt an upgrade from Xfce + Compiz to Xfce + Wayfire lol

Checked and no they haven’t lol.

I don’t think this used to be an issue because I used to use desktop icon launchers in the past, which makes it weird that it somehow changed. I think maybe after the big new UI update?
