  Its why I personally recommend to friends to just raw dog Fedora

  Probably sound advice if they are in (presumably) the 0.01% of users (like you) that need other utilities that are hard to get.

  If they aren’t, then Bazzite, etc would be perfect for them (as you said, zero issues with gaming/more common uses).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t used bazzite, but there is an App Store you can get all of the apps anyone would need.

  No longer do we live in the days of visiting a vendors website to download their executables. They are conveniently packaged for us in the App Store (package manager).

  We are basically getting a casino shoved in our faces most online games we play now. Not sure why this isn’t outlawed, it is absolutely having an effect on the population, not the mention the growing population specifically (growing as in kids being shoved this in their face while they grow up).

  If it’a not (ie biometric, etc), what’s the difference or what is it on Windows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.

  Not sure if this is the same thing, but KDE (on a linux system) presents me with options to login with smartkey/fingerprint, so it might, I’m guessing? I dunno if thay’s what passkeys are referring to, but if yes, then I think it does.

  They might add features, but none of them are a joy to work with or use. They are usually slow and buggy and annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you eat nothing but smoothies, do you still poop?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unrelated, but smoothies are worse than just eating the food (if you can).

  Forgot wherr i heard this but i think its true prove me wrong if you can pls.

  As far as I know smoothifying food makes it unhealthier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think your reasoning is valid. We are both valid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My usual thought process is going to the movies sets you back maybe 10-15 for two hours. If the game is under that it’s usually fine by me, they are usually way under that even though I tend to move on from most games rather quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you think the correct price to hours of enjoyment ratio is $15 per decade of playtime?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my head anything above ~40 eur is basically AAA pricing. Personally, I’m not going to acclimate to their new prices being double that. If it’s above 40 it basically doesn’t exist to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Using a VM to check pirated software, but then running it on your main pc if you don’t notice any malware (I think that’s what you are saying?) is not safe.

  Running untrusted software only on a vm or machine that you don’t care about with zero personal info is safest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100% agree, if you don’t want to support something, then do not engage with it at all. Simple as that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As for the government ID thing, it’s hardly an authoritarian’s dream when almost every country on planet Earth does it already. You may not realise it, but we’re very much in the minority for not having this already.

  Just have to say, being in the minority for something does not mean it’s all of a sudden a good thing and that everyone else must do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t always help but I am unfortunately thankful it exists sometimes when I feel like giving up and it gets me on the right track.

  It never gives me good code, but the text it returns can sometimes spark an idea that works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe you said it was easy in the first sentence of the comment I replied to, though maybe I am reading it wrong and you are speaking on something else.

  Nevertheless, they surely have the money to make some type of sandboxed environment for us to run games in, but I can also see why they haven’t since they have so many other things in the works right now and I believe they famously don’t have that many employees (they could hire more, but that could ruin their workflow, etc, not sure). Still, I would like to see this somewhere in the future so I can be a bit more carefree when running less known games.

  Maybe this is something that operating systems need to do for us though, I don’t know. Xbox can do it because Windows/HyperV allow it to, but they are created by the same company so the lines are blurred a bit. Not to mention use cases for PC gaming are much wider in scope, so the sandbox environment would have a lot more things to consider (probably).

  Anyways I still think this would be sorta far fetched, but I can dream it will soon exist.

  Not sure how I feel about making software distributors liable for the malware (it would make any smaller stores go out of business straight away for sure).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t easy as you say.

  If they could let us run games in a sandbox/virtualised area that would be amazing though. That’s a very big ask though.

  I do know that xbox consoles run games in their own hyper-v vm which gives extra protections to us from most malicious code.

  Obviously this would be hard for Steam to implement, but it would be a very nice measure.

  I believe they were streaming on a platform that is built around cryptos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. The only big problem I’m aware of is the length of validity for patents/copyright (and how large corporations for years were getting the laws changed so their IP could last even longer).

  After a decade or two, surely you have profiteered enough or at least had enough time to try profiteering from your idea or works? Time for public domain? 75 years (i think it is for copyright) seems crazy to me.

  Me not experto though, but I do think lowering the time you can hold your invention or works hostage from the world would be amazing for the general public and advancement of tech (even though when I say that, it sounds like stealing a baby from a mother).

  His wife and kid(s) were apparently in the audience, this was probably very scaring for the kids if they saw it.

  Anyways crazy you’re at negative votes, not very ethical of the downvoters
