I’m with you as a Linux user but let’s be real, Linux support has an abysmal ROI: you put a lot of effort for less than a 1% increase in sales, it’s a no brainer.

One of the gifts that valve gave to the Linux ecosystem is having freed developers from the Linux burden. They just make windows games and voila for the most part they run on Linux. They spend less money, we get more games - win/win.

There are a bunch of games that had half-baked Linux ports and got so much better once you could just run the main build through proton, it doesn’t make sense to push developers to go back to native.

That’s actually a good point. I’m a TUI guy as much as the next one but I normally use full screen terminal and tmux instead of larping the 90s.

Deeply respect the hustle - I was also X-free in the early 00s - but I wonder what is the advantage of going raw tty instead of full screen terminal in a wm

Why alpine instead of mutt? It must be some 20 years since I least heard about pine or any of its forks

But if you can’t send them to get gunned down in a foreign land, what is even the point of having more children? Do you hear yourself?

I mean I guess that’s sound advice if you don’t need to, I don’t know, print?

Guy 1 and 3 fucked up big time, now their display of love for Christmas spices is ruined. What were they thinking

That’s rich coming from someone who threatens to intervene with her army if someone complains to her

This but unironically. Can’t remember one time when I needed or even thought about using a cable in my iPhone tenure.

Yes but 99.9% of users don’t care about any of that, that’s what others were saying in this conversation.

Just to bring my personal pov: I’m a tech guy and I couldn’t care less about any of those features. My phone is an appliance like my dishwasher, i only need it to do well the few things it does for me and the iPhone does them incredibly well. Productivity work and fun is done on real computers. I don’t care if android phones can purr or do somersaults.

If you like to do complicated stuff on your phone then those things matter to you and you will deem iOS inferior, and that’s fine. But realise you are planets away from the average user.

You are technically correct (I know) but I would argue that distros that come with a certain DE usually have their experience built into it. Sure you can install gnome in kde neon but don’t expect anything to work, if it does it’s mostly by accident.

This is true for distros that cater to “simple” users that want to install and be productive of course, not for those like Debian or arch which cater to users who want to build their own experience.

What is this X

I’m sorry for the naivety, maybe there is something cool I’m not catching.

Haven’t we had biodegradable, compostable “plastic” shopping bags for like 20 years now? What’s the news here?

Nah fam.. the leader took the lead, then he lead while wearing lead. This is pure English, no loanwords.

Ah yes, the third year of imminent Russian collapse.

Russia is shit at pretty much everything that they do except for their specialties such as war crimes and FAS. They will lose the war and they won’t have a minute of happiness for the next century like they didn’t for the last few.

Reality is already laughing at them, there is no need to overblow it.

Noooooo you forgot the (PBUH) when you mentioned Muhammad (PBUH), now I will have to kill you :( look what you made me do

wooosh

Nerds argue all the time about the darnedest things, like the Oxford comma. Which is abhorrent.

If the “or” is inclusive you shouldn’t use “either”

Apple and wait for Asahi Linux to finish their driver support 🫠 don’t know what to tell you man.

I have never tried framework laptops - maybe they’re glorious, maybe they’re junk - but of all the laptops I tried Apple are the only decent ones hardware-wise (and software-wise too if you like osx).

I don’t know who else makes decent laptops nowadays, but Lenovo isn’t it, and most likely won’t be.

Good luck hoping for anything about Lenovo, they’ve gone down and down the shitter ever since they “split” from IBM.

No I don’t own a framework nor plan to do so, I’m just an average IT guy who is forced to choose between Lenovo and Mac to work, and after the third garbage laptop in a row bit the bullet and got the Mac. I also own an x200 and a t430 that i was in love with - nothing to do with the present day latrines masquerading as computers.

Screw Lenovo really. Hope for some decent competition to framework (I hope for that too, they are currently the only ones in that niche) but don’t hope for it from them.
