Isn’t there a federated version of GitHub?

I don’t really know, other than the other 2 are updated on a nearly daily basis and Chimera is Arch-based (like SteamOS) with Gnome UI while Bazzite is Fedora-based.

I have a sign like the one on the left except it is made of olive board, carved on a CNC and has a pretty bow on it and just says “GO AWAY”

Don’t know why I see so many people recommending HoloISO. It hasn’t been updated in 3 months, and all they did was merge a bunch of code from Chimera.

ChimeraOS and Bazzite are what you’re looking for.

What’s Gamescope?

I see. I guess everyone I know that has a tablet also has a laptop, and carries both of them around. Makes more sense as a laptop replacement, I suppose.

They’re more portable, lighter

Sure, but is that so important that it’s worth spending hundreds of dollars on an entirely separate device that you still have to carry and manage?

That’s what I meant

So hilarious to see this on this sub after people assured me time and time again that “we only pirate because prices are too high!”

What’s a “Wayland compositor”?

Game scope is a micro-compositor

What is that?

it’s how the Steamdeck handles games and probably steam.

So why would I use this in HGL instead of Steam?

only ever used windows, but I’m getting fed up with the bullshit

Well that’s why I switched 🤷

Drove me fucking insane that I couldn’t uninstall Edge. Tried a few times but it always reinstalled itself. It’s just the audacity to say “no fuck you” to the person who is giving you money. Can’t disable Cortana, can’t disable all the XBOX bullshit, not to mention it’s just becoming more and more like Android where the entire OS becomes dedicated to collecting your data. Linux has none of that, and that’s enough for me.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away.

Couple of solutions for this:

  1. Dual boot. When you have a hard time, just restart and boot into Windows.
  2. You can’t transfer storage across OS so make sure to use cloud storage for your work files.

Sick comment, honey

You are arguing that if they make less profit, then they won’t make media at all which isn’t true.

Buddy, you’re the one that said “or they make nothing at all” , not me.

You really should study basic economics.

For the third time, none of this has anything to do with economics, basic or otherwise.

It’s sad watching you laugh and dismiss facts because they describe how you’re being taken advantage of.

It’s sad watching you struggle with the difference between not paying for something and choosing to steal it. It’s sad watching you poorly try to justify crimes because, in your opinion, it’s too expensive. I’m not being taken advantage of. I pay what I think the service is worth, and when it fails to meet that value proposition, I simply don’t watch it

Typically, personally, I will subscribe to a service for a month or 2 at a time because by that time I have consumed everything interesting that it has to offer.

My point is that they will make less profit if they are forced to.

Yeah, you said that already. I’m still not understanding what that has to do with this discussion.

People just need to have higher standards, which you are proving they don’t.

LOL what? Please do elaborate
