This is more a question for non-power users. They are the key to widespread adoption and supplanting Windows. The OS has to be user friendly to the point that people don’t need to worry about the terminal unless absolutely necessary but still flexible enough to not alienate the power users that want to dive deep into it.

Could I get a whole saucy magnitude scale from you?

I think they are just trying to set expectations. A ton of people conflate digital painting and photo manipulation so if an app can’t do both like Photoshop they think it’s trash.

If the day comes I want to upgrade my 3080 I’ll switch to an AMD solution but until then I’ll take any improvement I can get from Nvidia.

It is possible to commit no mistakes in raising a child and they still be little shits. That is not a weakness; that is life.

Probably a good chunk of it but admittedly it helped me feel confident in using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop. Nothing drives adoption like being able to play video games.

Check out Bazzite OS. It is an atomic version of Fedora with a focus on gaming and containerized Linux subsystems. I started with Nobara but wasn’t satisfied. Bazzite has been excellent and I have little fear about updates with the atomic nature.

Probably so other governments don’t have full access.

I know VScodium doesn’t have the telemetry but is it lacking features regarding account login and extensions?

Nobara was nice but doing simple tinkering with the theme and startup splash led to some system issues for me. So I had to reinstall a couple of times. But it lead me to realize I really like kde.

Bazzite has been my daily driver for about two weeks and so far I’m finding it to be more stable but still not perfect when it comes to gaming. I can say setup was super smooth and I didn’t have to do anything to jump into playing games with steam. It does have a quirk on my system where the kde taskbar stops visually updating and eventually loses functionality after I exit a game. I can restart kde and that resolves it. It is entirely possible that is a Wayland issue though. When I was using Nobara I had x11 so a little apples to oranges there. It is a bit of a different OS for me since it is a container focused OS. I’m having to get used to it but I think I like it. I think some of the issues I’ve experienced with it are just from my lack of knowledge with how I’m supposed to use it if there are more advanced things I’m trying to do. It has a focus on using flatpak for everything but if you want a package manager you can use containerization to install whichever Linux subsystem and package manager you want and run the applications that way. It’s neat. It’s kind of both easier and more complex at the same time.

Same devs so it absolutely is.

My wife and I enjoy playing 2 together. It’s good stuff.

The thing is at this point with all the effort Microsoft has been putting into making Windows more linux like they could literally make future versions of windows a new Linux distribution and heavily invest in improving wine/proton to run legacy windows applications. That eliminates all those decades of ancient Windows code and keeps compatibility.

What is read-only?

No, only the iPhone 15 pro has usb3. iPhone 15 is usb2. They have it listed that way on their site.

They didn’t steal it from Nintendo. It was a carryover from their collaboration with Sega on the Dreamcast. [link] (https://news.microsoft.com/1998/05/21/microsoft-sega-collaborate-on-dreamcast-the-ultimate-home-video-game-system/)

The platform of the fediverse may continue but the loss of community is still very much a possibility. All it takes is hostile actors manipulating their way into control of a particular community and then they can shutter it or steer it in a direction of their choosing. Every community on every server is like a Corp in Eve. It’s easy to start an alternative but the specific community will still be harmed. But that’s life.

I’ve dabbled in linux for years but could never break my reliance on windows. I got a Steam deck and realized there was enough compatibility to justify moving to linux. So I just recently gave a flavor of linux called Nobara a shot. It’s by a Red Hat engineer that contributes heavily to getting games working in linux through Proton. My experience has been way better but I wouldn’t say perfect. I think it’s worth checking out to see if it works for you.
