Hmm that's weird. I mean, we have a lot of copyright infringement and piracy here in the Linux world but I'm not sure if that's the right way of handling it. I guess Facebook hasn't grown up enough in terms or free speech yet.

Now please let's not start stupid drama here.

I heard there were some issues with NT so I assumed it'd die well before Linux (if Linux doesn't kill itself in the next 2-3 years of course).

It can happen if Microsoft decides not to spend money on making a new kernel because they will need one eventually. But a compatibility layer? Why would they not make it exclusive to Windows?

Drama incoming.

Why isnt the /home separate from /root by default?

Because then you either waste free space for root or completely fill it up and can't install any native packages easily.

Another wave of bug reports and rants about Linux incoming.

How many FPS can I expect on a 3090 in 1080p?

Wait we're doing PS4 emulation now?

Unlike Wayland, Pipewire just works as long as you have all needed packages installed. I'm not familiar with any compatibility issues at all. I highly recommend switching.

Well then I can only say I disagree. Tethering isn't as common as SDR but it's still a pretty sizeable thing imo.

I think you missed the word "regularly" in your sentence. USB tethering is not required very often.

Because it's Lemmy.

I would love to see a new Linux user who just installed Linux on a pretty old machine because of no official Windows 11 support or performance issues compiling their own kernel. And they're not guaranteed to have a new phone either.

It's like saying that we should remove SDR monitor support because HDR somewhat works on Linux and it's better so everyone should move to it.

Same goes to X11. It's still available on sane and serious distros because it's needed for some people.

Uhm 2 years ago a14 was just released. There were pretty much no devices with it. Even though the protocol is unsafe, it's a good feature and killing desktop features just pushes Linux back.

Also a DE has stuff to do with it. It should be able to detect the connection and send a notification about it being potentially unsafe. Killing it is just a stupid move done by rich folks with latest flagships for rich folks with latest flagships.

There's no such thing as USB hotspots

That was its name on my old Sony phone though.

Also you can still use the NMC protocol if your Android version is recent enough.

Yea but it's not a justification.

It's an insecure Microsoft protocol, though this probably wouldn't have mattered for a lot of people.

That's why a DE warning would be enough. Linux is just making terrible decisions recently. I guess it'll continue until major maintainer changes take place and that won't happen without life losses because nobody is going to leave the project so we might lose many of the Linux's benefits in a few years imo.

So now you can't use USB hotspots on Linux? Yea mainstream has gone pretty evil then tbh. They didn't even stop at the previous drama.

Well a14 is not that common but I've never heard of tethering before (except for WiFi tethering that improves connection) so I guess it's not important.

So I may not be able to use ADB and Fastboot anymore after I get the kernel update?

It's a very very weird view on this topic. I'm really not a fan of the "we can't do anything so let's sit and wait until everything gets worse" philosophy. I'd even recommend banning supporters of it everywhere in the FOSS world.

systemd is pretty bad but it was accepted because it was the best thing available at the time for the purpose and the community needed a standard. Now times are different.

Immutability is a big change that comes with its own issues. It makes a lot of sense in the equipment control space and some office space so it shouldn't be just forgotten but simply accepting everything because it's new and shiny will turn Linux into the modern society which accepted everything, beaten all the happiness lows and now refuses to admit its own fault.

It's quite different to Pipewire which is another recently accepted standard. The transition had some issues but in the end it became fully compatible with stuff made for previous standards so nothing changed for the end user. With immutability such a scenario is impossible without losing all the advantages.

Also the FOSS community and especially projects don't have quite the expertise in topics not directly related to programming so making good decisions is much harder for them. UX/UI is a very known example. Though here I'm talking about statistics and analysis.
