Good on them.

I had a similiar experience with Mount and Blade warband, I pirated to try it, bought it after and when it didn’t work the folks at TaleWorlds helped me out fix the issue. Absolute lads.

Or just shoot the main switch if you at least have a line of sight on it

Don’t forget World War Two, run by Indy Neidell (same guy who presented The Great War)

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

it’s actually spelled film

I agree and I can tell you that the movie was boring af and I felt like I learned nothing valuable

if this is true why was my peepee unsucked for the whole duration of the film? Checkmate liberal

Of all the reasons you could have chosen for Red Hat you chose “they killed a dead corpse”?

X11 was already dead, it isn’t getting updated, and its maintenance is gonna end eventually. Sure Wayland still has issues but once it’s ready for widespread use (which it is, save maybe for gaming on PCs with like 6GBs of RAM) the jump is unavoidable. In fact by doing this they got more people to work on fixing the issues in Wayland

as a matter of fact Cinnamon is also working on wayland (and here by wayland I refer to the whole thing not just the compositor), with the first release having come out recently iirc or coming very soon anyways and so are other desktop environments, and if they aren’t likely someone else will port them over if enough people care (such is the beauty of open source). It’s not just KDE and GNOME (which still account for a vast majority of users btw, if you choose a less popular DE you should expect slower development and less support it’s not something new or crazy or wayland’s problem it’s normal).

Because the bright people who did this decided they needed to throw the baby out with the bathwater on X. They couldn’t possibly find a way to ditch only the obsolete parts and fix the problems and maintain compatibility as much as possible. No, everything had to be rewritten from scratch.

If that was something possible/sensible to do, someone would have done it in the past 11 or something years of xorg being well on its way to the shitter? Like I get that companies make a lot of shit decisions due to money but clearly if abandoning deadware was chosen over resurrecting parts of it there’s a good reason. Also pretty sure all of it is outdated my dude so your point doesn’t stand. To my knoweledge Xorg isn’t very modular but I may be wrong here.

So here we are 15 years later, with another 5 or so to go until the whole Linux desktop ecosystem will be thoroughly redone.

Not a bad thing. Just like it wasn’t a bad thing when computers went from just the shell to a GUI, from tapes to eventually hard disks, unix to linux, etc. Xorg can’t support HDR nor lots of other things and in all these years nobody has managed to add them, not a company, not the community, not some schizo programmer with led unix socks and a custom tailored furry suit, that’s why wayland was invented and what eventually will run on everything minus abandonware. Xorg has been on its way out for years now, Wayland is perfectly usable (with notes to be made for GNOME’s implementation on the developer’s side and Nvidia on the regular user’s side) for the vast majority of users. What RH (Valve, and others) are doing is simply pushing people to get a move on and focus on wayland instead of passively waiting for it to just get better while they just stay in Xorg forever.

And btw nobody is gonna be stopping you from putting Xorg on your machine if you want. I’m using Xorg right now, merely for the sole reason my laptop with its 6GBs of RAM is too weak to run games on wayland yet due to XWayland (which again would be an easily solved issue if instead of having to make things for Xorg in mind they were made with wayland). But the switch to wayland is inevitable, not sure what you were expecting honestly you can’t keep a service from the 80s running forever when a better alternative finally arrives.

In fact, as I mentioned, keeping something on life-support this long has only been damaging as it doesn’t incentivise people to actually develop for wayland as much (even if they wanted, most its users were on Xorg and havng to choose one or the other thing they’re forced to choose Xorg, for example), granted it’s not the only disincentive there are some that are due to wayland’s implementations and particularly GNOME’s but without the move RH and others made the decisions on how to address these issues were just gonna be postponed ad infinitum.

I somewhat disagree. Sure, telling windows users they have so many options will overwhelm them so it’s best to just give them 1 or 2 options. But telling other linux users who are about to put/suggest linux on someone else’s computer that there’s better options is good.

For example, let’s take Ubuntu pushing snaps. A noob won’t know what they are, and there’s good chances they will have a bad experience with them and not understand what they are, they will probably think it’s a Linux problem rather than an Ubuntu problem and there’s a good chance they will leave linux because of them. I personally learned the problems I was having at the start of my linux journey were problems with snaps only because I read it somewhere in the zorin discord server or something like that. If it wasn’t for that I would have thought it’s a linux problem. Tho this wasn’t easy information to find and I was already well on my way to becoming a Linux nerd and I was interested in learning more, but the average user, in my experience, doesn’t know/want to look these things up and if you try to explain to them there’s a good chance you’ll lose them halfway through (which is normal, package managers aren’t a fun topic) Telling a linux user about it and that linux mint (for exampel) may be a better introduction for their resident noodles doesn’t run the risk because they’re already a linux user.

for some people snaps work, for most they don’t. If they work, we all good, but when they don’t people will blame Linux for this issue. And that’s just snaps there’s a lot of shady bs Canonical is doing. Meanwhile we know Linux Mint’s packages, for example, work well and rarely has anyone complained about them. There are some benchmarks but that isn’t the main issue.

Can you explain to a person who knows little about licenses, such as myself, what makes AGPL so good?

EuroNutellaMan,
@EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world avatar

I see, thanks

I mean, you literally described 99,999% of distros tbf.

EuroNutellaMan, (edited )
@EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world avatar

Tbh I used it few months ago and it’s a pretty decent noob distro but I had some annoying graphical issues caused by snaps, which zorin use(d?) even by default so I can’t recommend it because of that. It also doesn’t allow much customization but that’s GNOME for you.

spoilerAlso, this is just a me thing and not the distro’s fault, but I couldn’t stand having Zs everywhere even if it is a pure coincidence and I actually know the volunteers stand with Ukraine.

It’s a good distro for those who want an easy introduction to Linux, I just think Linux Mint or Pop_OS are better, but there’s many who use it and swear by it.

Hi, for the past few months I have been working on my website Installies. It is a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for use to install, remove, update or compile apps on Linux and Unix-based systems....

Maybe add a comment/review system (if you haven’t already) in the meantime? Far from foolproof but better than nothing nonetheless.

I’d swap Ubuntu with Mint and Kali with something else tbh but aside from that fairly accurate

@EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world avatar

I find it OK if you must use windows but it was fairly annoying to deal with and those annoyances are what got me to actually go for the whole Linux deal and I’m happy I switched.
