Definitely a friendlier and more intuitive option for newcomers than something like sway. I've been thinking about sway though because static layouts would play nicer with my ultra wide.

Dynamic tilers don't really consider evenly spitting apps into thirds or a window automatically taking three fifths while stacking two others or combinations of the two.

Space is definitely a premium on a 2560x1080 screen.

That moment when you're reminded half the Linux community is comprised of weebs.

He'd be thinking about dem big swinging elephant titties.

Thanks cyanide & happiness podcast for that imagery!

Good, it's about time the ftc grew a few teeth to fight with. They've been toothless for way too long.

Do they have an opening? That looks about my skill level of web design.

True, a lot better way to stay out of dependency hell. The number one reason I switched a server to docker, dependencies like mono.

That's crazy!

No, fahrenheit or whatever the conversion is for eagles/gun. No need to get nasty about it we're all just having fun here.

Engineer, most girls probably wouldn't think twice about software* but engineer has a ring to it. Like doctor.

Your right, it needs at least six maybe nine per hand.😆

I love the idea of this project. It might be an interesting way to see how similar most languages are but those dependencies.

Also why is such a stupid question when it comes to programming, you can learn so much by just making something. So my question is...

Yeah, I totally agree. Sorry about that. I got pretty excited about the topic because it's amazing how all my games have worked so far and how it works is interesting. If I was using Windows or MacOS I'd be paying attention but I generally wouldn't care about the progress.

Microsoft scare of EU nothing changes for us just EU Microsoft bad Microsoft still bad no improve for office PC Linux still good tho

I don't think you get how dxvk and wine work. All games that don't require rootkits and have Linux support in their flavor of anti cheat will start, about 80% playable potentially with some tweaking or hardware specific fixes and about 20% pretty much work out of the box which is nice. AMD users are probably feeling smug about the aggregate 50% playable with 10% verified steam deck compatible.

It only runs better as a result of the optimizations done to translate Windows calls to Linux calls as well as translating Direct X into Vulkan or just uses vulkan. So if the game is well optimized Linux is a lot less likely to have an advantage and often suffers in performance a little bit until optimizations for that game are patched into Wine or DXVK about the same as video card drivers in windows.

On the other hand some poorly optimized games still run just as bad as they do on Windows if the game has issues not related to the graphics stack. Things like Elden Ring play to the strength of the optimizations and presented good results but I like to think of it as the exception and not the rule.

On average you see a delta of at most 10fps with windows beating Linux or Linux beating windows which even I find surprising sometimes. Maybe lower CPU overhead, the game just runs better being translated into Vulkan, or shader cashing in DXVK has gotten better than some in-house solutions; it's hard to say.

For once it might actually be nice... But quiet.

It makes no sense but it's my reality. o7

Yeah. I'm guilty of doing that to myself, I use Arch and neovim btw. Your perspective kinda changes when someone close to you that wants to switch to Linux she found windows frustrating or start getting into more than just animal crossing and the sims but finds camera controls disorienting or both. (Mother)

A lot of these new people who want a better experience for themselves but find certain technology issues daunting and they really get the raw end of the deal when they run into the loud minority. I also blame Linux Bros for promising the moon and with no issues.

It's about as difficult and as exciting (for some) as switching to Macos for the first time, ask me how I know.

It's not a battle you fight with random strangers. No one wins and you end up looking like jerk for initiating the conflict.

Here's a tip, what good is open source AMD drivers if 0% of it can be reused outside of AMD products. Isn't that as open and free as the mesa drivers or could it only benefit the community if and made their architecture open source too.

I see no difference between AMD and Nvidia because the drm for AMD cards is the hardware same as Nvidia's self hosted open drivers they both use proprietary firmware one of them is just on the card. Stop shilling for AMD, it doesn't look good.

As a user I like no screen tearing, low latency, no soft locks from apps crashing, no softlock when a window is capturing the keyboard while the screen is locked, no weird artifacts from hardware accelerated effects, no app windows blanking out and lagging usually web apps (still happens in XWayland),etc.

I still miss being able to kill the screen locker from the terminal, made me feel like a hacker.
