what dopamime addiction does to a mf

i mostly agree except its leagues ahead for sysadmins and devs, it isnt even a contest. to counter your specific example, filezilla works great. i havent used a tool for this specific niche on linux that wasnt much better.

affinity photo is great on linux too if you are not too stuck with adobe. cant say much about other usecases you mentioned.

also wine runs old software better than windows in some cases. i have better luck with it on linux. funnily enough old linux software is a pain on linux in the rare situations where i need it.

agreed, however it defeats the point that its going to be optional if they really decide to do it.

to be fair all of that should be a flatpak you click once to install

nowadays they always come across as lazy to me, when a bunch of options are available to make installing software on linux painless.

oh i meant devs who provide packages but don’t bother with install scripts.

bash scripts are fine when they exist.

which side is really refusing negotiations: the ones getting armed by the biggest military power in the planet, with the intention of ethnic cleansing, or the ones getting their country leveled fighting with improvised bombs?

I meant the GTX900 series. I’m aware the 700s have decent support in nouveau, but the 900s has already been dropped by nvidia so we are on older drivers not capable of the latest vulkan extensions required by modern Proton.

For nouveau it needs GSP firmware that wasnt released as part of that release they did a while ago. I think pascal users are on the same situation, they just havent been dropped by the proprietary drivers yet. I wonder if we are gonna be stuck on xorg forever.

The newer cards got the important bits released by nvidia so the community can at least have a path forward…

it didnt work ootb for me on ubuntu so i dropped it, but i hear it can already be made to work well with the desktop and basic stuff. performance in games is still bad but they are running.

something closer to zealotry would be using a browser from a data-mining corp and expecting privacy.

and not having privacy and expecting democracy not to die slowly.

except thats exactly most peoples atitudes when they complain about it.

and yes, erosion of privacy is leading to erosion of democracy in many ways, thats pretty well estabilished.
