I teied using termux as a “linux” on androis before, but tbh I dont quite see the use case.

Termux as it is is great for ssh-ing into my headless server and executing commands. But everything else i do on my phone / tablet is something that a phone/tablet can already do, so idk what to do with (a bit clunky) x intterface. I tried programming via termux on my tablet, but that wasnt that great either since for text files a proper vim setup would have worked as an ide for me, and graphics accelerated stuff (ie opengl vulkan etc) are (ofc) not supported with this termux linux.

I’m really curious about this case’s outcome.

On one hand yuzu shouldn’t be illagel, on the other hand, their patreon income surged when tears of the kingdom came out, and maybe that is enough to say that they enable pirates and thus should cease all operations.

I’m rooting for yuzu. Have they said anything at all yet? Btw if you want yuzu I think now is the time to download it while it exists (in case nintendo moves forward / wins, or yuzu devs are intimidated to take it down)

“Skulls and Bones is actually an AAAARRR game because pirates”

My favourite sentence

This seems interesting, and I might try it.

But… I’m kind of sick of web applicatioms. Why does everything need to be a web application or a “not” web app using electron. (In this case I see the use case and reason, but in general)

I’m not the guy you are replying to, but that is just not how the world works.

According to steam’s own survey (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=combined) osx (aka mac) users make up a whopping 1.4% of steam’s players. Now the question is: is it worth it to put in the work for mac? (work which i might add only works on mac as the apis that work on linux and windows do NOT work properly on mac)

Valve’s answer is no. Put simply even though they take 30%, its very clear that mac users do not make up a huge enough user base to put in the work. In other words the costs of mac development might exceed the income they’d get from max players (but this is just speculation, the point is, its very that Valve thinks its not profitable to develop for mac)

Why put in the work for linux then you might ask? Well linux uses the same APIs in most cases as windows (Vulkan, OpenGL, and in case of directx, vulkan can “emulate” directx), so its a lot less work to be compatible with linux than it is with mac. Also Valve owns a console which uses linux as an os, so they do not have to rely on propriatary windows.

Anyway my point is development costs are probably higher than the income they get from mac players.

I have one as well, but let’s not overpraise it. That handheld isn’t a “ps4 as a handheld” (obviously since the vita came out 2012 or 2011 cant remember which). And sadly it struggles to play its generation’s games (i.e. Borderlands 2 (one of my favs on vita) runs at 20-40 fps).

There are great games that showcase its abilities auch as the killzone game, but that was made for that system.

And let us not forget that it wasn’t a successful handheld. There is a reason sony hasn’t made a new handheld device since.

Didn’t John McAfee (the antivirus guy turned crazy hillbilly) try to run for president from prison? I seem to remember something about that, but it may have been a fever dream.

I agree Arch isn’t magical. And I’m more than aware of the issues with the AUR, however i disagree that everything on there can be found by other means. There are several programs (such as optimus-manager for nvidia and integrated video card laptops) which are pretty much only found on the AUR (Not counting Github). Again this is about ease-of-use (Since you could build my example from github as well).

Obviously you can customize anything anywhere, what sets Arch apart is pacman and aur. And again in the case of Manjaro and EndeavourOS these and the wiki are the main “selling points”.

Arch is just the easiest one to start from a very minimal system and build something up that’s totally yours

Minimal ubuntu and fedora exists as well. And if you were to customise them you’d end up with something that you like as well. But i see what you are saying and i agree.

To answer your question: AUR. Aur is something that I love about Arch.

Also please stop gatekeeping. Installing Arch by hand instead of using something like EndevaourOS doesn’t mean anything. I used EndevaourOS after using arch simply because it was way faster and easier to configure. It still has all the functionality of arch (since essentially it is arch).

If you don’t want to spend the time to completely customize your system just don’t use an Arch based system

Thats the thing. You can still customize everything and anything. I mean what’s stopping you from using a tty and changing things? Also even the installer helps you customize a lot of things…

I agree completely.

As a sidenote: If somebody wants something easy-to-use that is arch-based I’d suggest EndevaourOS.
