You couldn’t be more wrong. 🍉🍉🍉

Of course, if you’re living in Russia, it’s dangerous to state anything other than support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t cringeworthy to watch someone awkwardly dance around it, trying to ignore it while complaining about (checks notes) losing a bit of reputation over an unnecessary war that their country started and which literally cost thousands of lives.

Any Russian who stands up against that is incredibly brave. The others, just different levels of sad. Non-Russians who support Putin are the worst.

I understand why you’d want FOSS to not care abot borders, wars and politics and that is noble. But to call this comment racism, comes across as a veiled show of support for Putin. As if critiquing his invasion is a racist act that hurts the Russian people. Putins invasion is hurting the Russian people. Not this comment.

Windows XP… such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.

Great job on the title @teodor_from_achewood@lemmy.world

I’m sorry, you’re right it is another important piece of the puzzle and my comment didn’t really add anything.

Bazzite is based on Fedora.

OP is probably mostly running into hardware, rather than software limits. While ProtonDB does include hardware reports, it’s made to check Linux compatibility primarily, and other benchmark sites will be better suited for OP. Most single player games should run well on Linux now.

In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:

• Death Stranding
• Red Faction: Guerrilla
• GRID (2008)

And the hilarious tech demo of course!

I’m really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).

Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).

In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let’s see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:

• Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
• Gran Turismo 4

Yes, you are right.

The old stuff, now no longer supported, is:

• .NET Framework up to and incl version 4.8
• Runtimes distributed as part of Windows
• Mono is a Linux Runtime used for compatibility

The new stuff:

• .NET Core, up to and incl 3, more recent versions are named .NET from version 5 onwards (to prevent mixing it up with the old Framework)
• Is completely cross-platform, natively
• I don’t know about desktop specific graphical stuff but that probably depends on the specific library

Ah yeah that looks perfect, just get WayBlue Hyprland then! That sounds like exactly what you need.

No need to mess about with user services in systemd and display manager config.

NixOS

Alternatively (speculating here), you might be able to use Nix to install Hyprland onto an existing immutable distro like Silverblue.

Nix people please chime in!

Good point. I guess you’re right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.

Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is “how many story points is that?”, who’s then silenced because “this is important!”, confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:

• no technical expertise
• is not in charge
• does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis

Especially being talked over. This matches many women’s experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.

I’d much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who’s in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.

Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄

We all get frustrated with scrum at times, but not all of us use TTS to make a casually sexist skit about it.

Unlike most houses, in mine the Fox won’t change the default browser.

Yeah that’s the whole Enterprise LTS issue. RHEL is the same, as is Ubuntu after a literal decade of LTS support.

I am so happy that we have podman in RHEL 8. Rootless podman containers with distrobox are a godsend in these software geography dig sites that have to pass for a workshop.

I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.

It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.

If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.

Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you’re looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.

Makes sense. Mono was necessary in the “old .NET” world, where runtimes were tied to Windows versions and the framework was a pure Windows framework. Mono made it possible to run old dotNET framework versions (up to 4.8) on other OSes.

Since dotNET Core and then dotNET 5 and higher, the framework itself is cross-platform so Mono is not necessary anymore, except for backwards compatibility for apps that use a now unsupported framework.

So it makes sense that Microsoft, after dropping the old dotNET Framework versions, also wants to stop supporting the cross-platform library that was only needed for those old versions.

Obviously, I can’t tell you about the privacy implications of every internet routing device on the planet.

I was just trying to provide a more complete and longer TL;DR than the one I was responding to.

Sounds like you know what you are doing as well as anyone could, you don’t need my TLDR

TL;DR: Don’t buy Mesh WiFi, especially if offered at a low price/subscription by your ISP. Use old-fashioned routers and access points.

If you already have or really need Mesh WiFi, consider installing a VPN client on every single device that supports it. A VPN config on your router will not protect your data from the spying WiFi Mesh Pods.

The time between “start integrating” for an Ubuntu release and the actual Ubuntu release, is typically a full kernel release cycle IIRC. It takes months before it is actually released. Once it’s in your daily driver, it won’t be a release candidate kernel anymore.

Not supporting a newly bought modern computer out of the box is pretty bad for an OS that claims to be accessible and easy to use. So I understand the shift.

I trust their testing process is adequate to ensure stability at release.
