Hey Nick @thelinuxEXP this feels a bit sus from one of your sponsors. I'm not a legal expert, but what the heck is going on with Tuxedo's Linux drivers being GPLv3+? (Which is incompatible with the GPLv2 only used by the Linux kernel.) It looks very sus. (Maybe somebody from Tuxedo could explain this better?)

The fact that gaming on Linux went from "ha ha, very funny" to most games just work and only a few FPS games are not working at all (and most of them doing so on purpose by blocking Proton in anti-cheat rootkits rather than because of just not offically supporting Linux) is a real testement to both Linux rising as a legitimate computing plaform and Valve's work on making Linux a true gaming platform.

Also, thanks to Jason @killyourfm for this nice article BTW! https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2024/08/21/linux-scores-a-surprising-gaming-victory-against-windows-11/

@georgetakei Unless it's A Nightmare on Elm Street! Then DON'T go to sleep! 😬

@aral I'm not sure I follow. I saw the "argument", and I don't see why it happened in the first place.

Also, in the US, what does that leave you with? Just @frameworkcomputer That's not a lot of options.

@aral Shame they got rid of the 3k option. Looks like I'll have to get a Windows option and put Linux on it... Now there's no 1 TB or 2 TB of storage option. Looks like I'll have to pass... Any other good options that are functional with Linux?

@libreoffice I actually knew that already. I use it all the time!

@libreoffice WordPad is (about to be) dead. Long live LibreOffice! #FossForce

@fedora @AsahiLinux Will the primary DE switch to GNOME or will there at least be a KDE Plasma spin?

@killyourfm @gamingonlinux Cyberpunk 2077 (from version 1.5 and on) & RDR2 (from October 2022 and on) have both FSR and an in-game benchmark.

@jimcarroll Oh my goodness, I remember reading about that. And Microsoft STILL hides extensions for known file types in Windows by default in 2023...
