I think it was world of warcraft. As a kid I had a very bad computer, so windows (Vista I think ?) Gave me something like 15 fps while Linux+Wine gave me 20. It already felt like wizardry that I had better performance while needing a compatibility layer.

I have also some memories of discovering a new land of freedom. When i plugged a CD from the library, Ubuntu’s default music player had a popup “wanna install anti-DRM plugins & make a copy of those tracks?”

Bogasse,

Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.

Bogasse,

But isn’t that still on par with xorg where you can’t have any fractional scaling?

Bogasse,

I suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍

Bogasse,

So next LTS might have to be resilient to the 2038 bug (32 bit signed timestamps overflow). I wonder how many softwares are vulnerable 🤔

Bogasse,

Ah thanks, I was so frustrated OP didn’t make this meta 😅
