It's better today than it was a year ago, and WAY better than it was 3 years ago, and is still improving. There are a few categories of games where you are likely to have problems though.
competitive multiplayer games [kernel level anticheat, that one will probably remain a problem]
very old games [getting better all the time, because wine is getting better all the times]
very new AAA games [they mostly use one of a handful of game engines, so they tend to get fixed in batches]
I would say whether linux is ready for (windows) gaming depends on is different per person predicated on:
What categories of games you play
Any specific problematic game that is a dealbreaker for you
For me, I tend to play some older games, and there are a few that don't work well. I don't want to boot windows, so I just decide I can wait for it to get there for them.
For some people, "ready" means will run every windows program as if running on windows. We're still a ways off from that, if we ever get there (it's a moving target, as windows is still being developed...)
That is a very rudimentary understanding of the system that doesn't always pan out in a particular time frame or due to external factors.
It takes time for that effect to occur
It doesn't take into account barriers to entry, of which there are many for food
It doesn't take into account that there are are actually a small number of companies that own the bulk of our food supply chain and it's in their financial interest to keep prices high for things that are perceived as luxury
Usually it doesn't matter what abstractions you choose when you try to factor them to support hypothetical future work, because chances are you incorrectly anticipate future needs.
In other words, generic code that only supports one use case will almost certainly have to be deconstructed to allow a good generic implementation for 2 use cases, so it is better to just write simple code and factor code out when you can see the real commonalities.
I hate reading code like this. It means that there is a bunch of object or global state that could be getting modified by anything all over the place that I can't see just by looking at the method. In other words, if you say you understand this method, it is because you are making assumptions about other code that might be wrong.
I'll take a 30 line pure function over a web of methods changing member state every time.
The person you were replying to originally said they were voting dem because they felt like they had to but that they weren't excited to. That is a very reasonable stance being that we are living in the fucking gilded age. Maybe the poorest people are slightly better off but the richest people are still hoarding even more money/ control/ influence and the people you're wanting to worship as saviors haven't even remotely addressed it.
Where are we talking about addressing the ridiculous health care system that is entirely designed to extract money for rich people instead of prioritize outcomes. Where are we taking about addressing the increasingly expensive education system? (Forgiving student loans is a band aid that while helpful in the here and now does nothing to fix the real problems). I could go on and on. This is a country optimized for rich people and you are expecting people to celebrate crumbs from the table.
You really need to get off your high horse and understand that people really need to be given real reasons to feel optimistic about the future instead of saying "here are some numbers" while people can't afford their rent and groceries.
Low-income wages went up 32% since 2019, as a result of a stronger NLRB backstopping a bunch of union gains and the results of spending a trillion dollars of increased corporate taxes on domestic manufacturing. Covid inflation ate up most but not all of that boost;
So people are still as poor as ever? Sorry but I'm not going to throw a party for the bare minimum 🙄. I'm going to keep complaining and so should everyone else.
What is wrong with you? People being dissatisfied with politics is the very first step required to actually change anything. Yes, the current administration has done some good things, but none of it is nearly enough, and we should still be plenty mad about all of it.
Specific side note: you say reduce income inequality, but regular people are way worse off financially than their parents were and that's not going away without some real change and we haven't actually seen anything moving in that direction
One thing to note about using forks is that they have no chance of being on corporate software whitelists, while firefox does. For that reason, adding to firefox numbers is potentially important. I've already seen companies wanting to only allow chrome/edge/safari (even while they officially support firefox
..)
