As a Linux user for a few years now I have to disagree. My friends who still rely on Windows only software for either school or their jobs use Revision OS and installs it with a tool called playbooks which takes only a few minutes and automatically disables feature updates; only allowing security updates to go through. This makes it so all “system updates” are through the playbook app which is pretty cool, it pretty much makes it a Windows fork and won’t revert or break anything when updating

sadly for me money is that tight right now, so if I can donate via ad revenue I definitely would (or better yet donating my time instead)

I’d seriously love to use Ecosia but that stops me from doing so

I think you just perfectly described Roblox

Have you seen Discord’s UI?

I agree, they’re small groups of asshats but they’re loud and effective groups of asshats. Take kiwifarms for example; despite being a pretty small community, they can inflict a lot of damage to a lot of people in short periods of time.

The Apex Legends hacking situation was unrelated to the anti-cheat despite initial reports

you’re right, thanks for the clarification! https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=lzW4SDm0yWM

Apex Legends and Genshin Impact being a good example of this.

Some people don’t care enough to try and understand

it also proxies the video and blocks trackers iirc, giving you some form of anonymity from Google

Aren’t most of the data the NSA collects from third parties like Google and Apple who already sell that data? can’t anybody theoretically buy that data if its being sold? much like the mobile US carrier’s were doing

what’s so “new” about this concern? I’d probably be able to afford a house if I had a dollar for every article I saw on Tesla’s wrecking or nearly wrecking because of FSD.

problem is most people do. anybody remember watch dogs?

There’s no emulation. Worst case scenario, the game is using Microsoft’s proprietary DirectX graphics API, so we translate those calls to Vulkan or OpenGL with DXVK. That’s simply out of our control since we cannot see or modify the code, but everything else is running on Linux.

Intel actually uses DXVK on Windows for better compatibility and performance for their Arc GPU’s.

what?

No, if it’s working for you, why bother? Unless you’re the adventurous distro hopper, stick to what’s working for you. I’d only take the time to switch my home to bazzite if Nobara started causing problems.

Gaming.

if you game on Linux you wanna go with bazzite, games “just work” on there without any tweaking or fixing or patching. And in the rare case you do need to patch a game like gmod, they have a built in script for it like ujust fix-gmod

I laughed for way too long at this

I’ve been on fedora for quite awhile, what makes tumbleweed better or unique? might try it sometime
