Similarly, people who write "a 100%" to mean "a hundred percent."

What they actually wrote winds up being "a one hundred percent." The "one" doesn't disappear by putting "a" in front of it. If you want to write a hundred, write "a hundred." It's what you're supposed to do for smaller numbers in the English language anyway.

That definitely is true, we do tolerate a lot of rough edges out of ethics and principals.

Interestingly, the Linux foundation had to remove several Russian maintainers recently because of the sanctions.

I have not looked into the details on the matter, but from what I gleaned it seems like they did not want to (don't punish the individual for the sins of their government), but were made to. Linus Torvalds apparently made a statement on the matter that I still need to go read.

I could be very very wrong on this and am open to being educated.

A lot of people grew up in a time where the desire for anonymity on the internet was praised and respected, reading usernames unless you had a specific reason to do so was considered strange.

I know I at the very least have to force myself to look at them if it's something that needs doing, as I am conditioned specifically to ignore them.

My post you are replying to is absolutely aggressive and was 100% intended to be at the time. I am calmer now though.

The original post was not written with any aggression in mind. Could you expand on how it sounded that way? I didn't feel any aggression until they started namecalling and making unfactual claims.

I actually hand-typed it, thank you very much.

But, point taken.

And, i could have handled my response better to the namecalling. I should not have let them pull aggro like that.

I listed a bunch of things that have been said by the community in the past, and pointed out that they made a statement that fell into that larger bucket.

So, i would be willing to concede that I lumped them in with the greater whole. But: I did not start with the aggressive namecalling.

Read the first post again and tell me how what i just said is a backpedal.

I accused the community as a whole of goalpost moving.

But you're right, i did get the username wrong.

With that being said, I'm not here as community support. Im not offering you or anyone support. I am calling out the inaccuracies and the slander.

I think that talking about how you want to switch but then claim the thing you want to switch to sucks because of totally fabricated reasons is cringe.

I don't think everyone should switch, but i do think that people walking around spouting out bullshit that they clearly have no idea about should be called out and shut down.

So the projector thing isnt from DXVK, but rather from the Windows Media Foundation library. Basically, there are a bunch of video codecs that are completely illegal to reimplement locally because of the patents on them.

The good news is that Valve is working on a major workaround, and just pushed it out to Proton Experimental recently. They've had okay-to-good support for video codecs up until recently (they pushed out some fixes for it right around after you had that problem), and now it should be moving towards great-to-perfect.

Honestly it sounds like you suck more than linux does, because I have never had any of those problems. My 4k monitors have all worked perfectly, and with wayland i have a successful mixed resolution/scaling/refresh rate setup.

If anyone is being a bitch, its you. You sound salty as fuck. I kind of hope you don't switch so the linux community doesnt have to put up with your awful attitude.

Oh, and no shit you need Proton. Thats not even worth discussing.

Caffeine doesnt get substance use disorder in the DSM because people would riot if it did. It's too ingrained in our culture.

This sounds like something an addict would say to cope with the fact that they have a dependency-based addiction to something.

The goalposts have moved to hopefully their final position

• 99% of my games don't work! I'm not switching!
• About half of my games don't work, I'm not swiching!
• 20% of my games don't work but the ones that do are all perfect, I'm not switching!
• 10% of my games don't work and Valve is pushing for functioning anticheat with EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye, i'm not switching!
• You are here → 0.1% of my games don't work because of holdout companies being assholes and going out of their way to specifically block Linux despite the massive success of the Steam Deck, I'm not switching!

At some point you have to ask yourself if it's the companies thats holding you back or if it's really actually you who are holding yourself back. Switching is gonna always require some kind of sacrifice or another, and currently that sacrifice has never been this minimal.

Either that, or you are just the kind of person who enjoys being a contrarian and has no interest in actually contributing anything meaningful.

This isnt even a gay thing, this is a social and privacy/personal space issue. Don't pick stalls that are far apart because "it's gay," do it because other people might feel uncomfortable being near other human beings period (might get stabbed or robbed, might get harassed, or might just have extreme social anxiety - the most likely) while their privates are exposed and they're in the middle of something.

Unless there are huge dividers between each one. Then it doesnt matter as much.

Im struggling with the lack of glide typing in 0.4.0+

I'm feeling Randy Pitchford out of 10

This has to do with in-game cinematics and video players (VRChat has youtube players for example( ), not streaming the game to another device
