@mikuphile @teto Loonix doesn't have a stable enough software suit to provide a stable API for commercial applications
If they did Linux ports, they'd also need to keep em supported over the years once someone decides to throw display servers into the dustbin, breks graphical toolkits because they assume there's no use cases, or whenever glubc/mesa gets legacy features ripped out or broken -

@p @evan @phnt @tchambers @kissane @silverpill @Zergling_man I know that "somebody think of the children" is a mere pretext, but it still baffles me how they think we don't know that -

@phnt @evan @p @tchambers @kissane @silverpill @Zergling_man I love how these guys completely forget kids have been seeing things they probably shouldn't on the Internet since the 90s and we've pretended it was all fine and dandy for decades and suddenly it became a problem sometime after 2016 :airiwink: -

@phnt That guy, but he is/was pretty popular on reddit, so I'd say he's normie-accessible and reddit-friendly
His video on F76 is pretty good, though -

@phnt Wait until they learn half of reddit memes are stolen from 4chan, the literal internet historian (lol) did a video about that -

@djsumdog I'm on Void mostly, but these are apps I'd say could be made into an AppImage very easily -

@djsumdog Damn, looks like something I could use
Also, hilarious video being highlighted :airilol: -

@egirlyuumimain I know a 2002-born zoomer that grew up with Max Payne ports on Android, and has been asking me how to make them work on current Android versions
Thing is, Android has become so shitty it can't do things it could do already on version 2.3 onwards -

@djsumdog @vivi @Lars I thought those 2x16GB sticks I got in October for 100$ were a scam, turns out it was a bargain all along
Anything Kingston was already out by then, too
Still, it's probably mostly panic buying + scalping...for now, hopefully -

@Suiseiseki @gabriel @SuperDicq Will it still brick your mobo if you got efivariables in a mount point somewhere, and you run rm into it?
Genuine question. I read there were mitigations for that specific problem -

@phnt @kaia @snacks @aetios Seems that lutris currently ship 8/9/Experimental versions of proton that don't seem to work outside of steam, an up-to-date ge-proton custom that works without steam, and a proton-8.15 that I presume they use as legacy and works without steam. They also have other wine versions
Just try ge-proton and see in winehq if you need to install dependencies with winetricks -

@grips So, systemd can't just issue a KILL signal if a process doesn't answer to TERM? :aaaaaa: -

@mischievoustomato @SuperSnekFriend You literally do either /boot/efi or /efi (Assuming you have a bootloader capable of running .efi files outside of /boot) because otherwise you'd need your entire root formatted into fat32, an ancient file system that won't support individual files larger than 4 GiB not to mention having no encryption support and little journaling
You could do:
/efi (Its own partition, 512 MiB, but you need a bootloader capable of booting files outside /boot)
/ (The entire root, about 50 GiB to be the safest)
/home (Its own partition, as big as possible)
Add swap if you please
If you need btrfs, you can just do your /home partition into btrfs, that way if it commits seppuku it doesn't kill your whole system -

@mischievoustomato @djsumdog @phnt @waifu @itsfoss @SuperDicq If they start breaking GTK4 on every minor update you'll have way less people liking it, and you will understand the GTK3 experience -

@mischievoustomato @djsumdog @phnt @waifu @itsfoss @SuperDicq I meant no modern Gnome, the one that made the GTK3 apocalypse
Gnome already existed for years when Stallman brought up the gplv3 -

@waifu @phnt @SuperDicq @itsfoss @djsumdog @mischievoustomato @klme@fosstodon.same
I'd argue not much would have changed.
We'd have a far weaker RHEL, thus maybe we would have a minimal systemd-like thing that is far more modular and no Gnome madness, since RHEL would have been way too financially weak to push its policies onto the wider community, it would need to keep itself on the good side of the userbase, being less able to pay for development, and being less pressured by company contracts
We probably would have some generalized kernel-only GPLv3-compliant drivers that would work with most things in a basic state, but you'd probably need to inject kernel modules or use some userspace driver things to install firmware and unlock all features. Basically Nvidia before it released the open source driver, but on a larger scale and in a more supported way, except on some pure distros
Android would still happen mostly the same
We'd have less corporate Linux and more desktop Linux -

@ins0mniak @phnt @mischievoustomato I've been researching a new rig to build and realized my wish for medium-high hardware with a back-connect motherboard + full NVME storage setup will probably hit 1500$ comfortably, and that's without even including a GPU, which will need to be AMD because Nvidia on Linux still sucks although it has done away with the kernel module drama
Kinda depressing, really. Those SSD storage prices are not dropping at all -

@ins0mniak @phnt @mischievoustomato Data center storage devices are good, but way too overpriced for the average Joe
There's some mid-high quality stuff being made for consumer-client side, but it's still 150$ for a 2 TB device quite easily, not to mention you need to find those that will not bork on a power loss event which will be a challenge in and out of itself
It can't be that I need to whip out almost 500$ for 2 4 TB NVME drives which don't even have full power loss protection and barely hit 1000 TBW
Add to that that you need to whip out at minimum 400$ for an half-decent GPU (But only if you're really lucky, that is), and we're already hitting 1000$ just between GPUs and storage. -

@MCMLXVIIOTG @Ghislaine @Hoss That doesn't mean he didn't got some payment before or after uploading the deed
