I worked for “business automation” company, mainly as tech support of SAAS solution that target accountants\clerks that works with government documents.
I feel sorry for support guys\system administrators and everyone else involved.

Reread my comment then from the start.


You missing the point of my comment, not me.
5 million a year would go a long way towards making their open source solutions meet their needs.
Look, people in comments here think that it will be profitable. That it will save shit ton of money out of thin air. That what I call copium.
I did not said “it’s bad” to adopt linux, quite the opposite. What I said is that commenters here operate on a fate, not on a logic and that surprises me.
Upd. Like, you would expect from people on lemmy out of all places, especially in “technology” to be knowledgeable in terms of how IT and business works, but instead it’s like I reading comments of children’s.


Amount of copium is insane in comments. Like, people straight up using fate, like it’s a fockin religion, instead of using their head.
Other countries also tried and failed. It’s never brings any profit, instead government usually end up losing shit ton of money. Reason is simple: adoption requires contribution. You need to hire new IT specialist, that knows linux and not windows. You need to do requalification of already existing specialist. You need to adapt software. You need to teach every single focking person how to work with new alternative software. And you need to suffer downtime, cause people still new to linux and it’s software.
Adoption is very hard and those miserable savings on windows licensing is nothing compared to cost of migration. I’m not even saying “hypothetically”, here documented list.
Blind coping will get you nowhere.


Yes, that exactly how I use cursor and local llms. There a ton of cases, where you need one time script to prepare data/sort thru data/fetch data via API, etc. Even something simple like adding role on discord channel (god save you, if your company uses that piece of crap for communication), that can be done with script too, especially if you need to add role to thousands of users, for example. Of course, it can be done properly by normal development cycle, but that expensive, while shitcoding thru cursor can be done by anyone.


Sluggish? It’s absolute nightmare on Hyprland: whole client crash randomly on opening/closing games, steam in game UI sometimes crash game/stuck/grabs input/does not appear and steam chat just have all those problems incorporated within it, with a bonus inability to correct words (menu with choices does appear, but choosing correct word does nothing).
Dunno, maybe Hyprland is the issue here, for a while it even required workaround in hypr config, to have working sub-menus. But I also tried Gnome and most problems remain. Most probably it still isn’t optimized for wayland.


Of course not, your opinion is very important to us!

And I wouldn’t consider 8% of all prospective sales to be a joke
Don’t put words in my mouth. I never said it’s a joke.
It kinda just irrelevant, if you target mass market. But not a joke.


all-time high
It’s 3.2%
I mean, sure, big headline is cool. But it’s 3.2%


Software needs hardware
Can I introduce you to a concept of installing Linux on a dead badger?


Yeah, most of “exciting” and impressive android games — either ports from big platform: Subnautica, Alien: Isolation, Tropico, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Little Nightmares, Hitman, GTA, Dead Cells, etc. Or straight up accessible on all platforms: Wuwa, Genshin, PlantsVsZombies, etc.
That being said, there still a few games that I personally would’ve play somewhat natively, cause they never got a release outside of android:
That probably it, tho


60+ images
Jokes on you, I wrote own shader that I use in simple script that shows it on background as wallpaper. The future is now, old man!


Wait, you mean using Large Language Model that created to parse walls of text, to parse walls of text, is a legit use?
Those kids at openai would’ve been very upset if they could read.


He’s pretty chill, unless you break userspace. In that case, Linus will break you. But pretty cool otherwise


I had all those issues on arch for a while, but recent (this week) update indeed seems to bork something even more. Not sure if it was steam update or arch os update, but currently steam window have 50/50 chance to become laggy af and unresponsive. Basically making it unusable. Closing to tray and opening again can fix it with same 50/50 chance.
Have no clue how to fix it. Check their github, maybe someone already reported a bug.


I once wrote small post on reddit about running FSR4 on rdna3 (via driver emulation hack that devs on linux added, before INT8 version). That poor post was reused by multiple sites with bizarre titles, like “guy on reddit hacked FSR4!” and other similar crap. I’m not sure if it’s even humans writing/doing that, probably some server with llm continuously scrapes google for new posts, rewrite them and post on own sites for engagement.
The future that awaits us sure looks fun


Two years ago, when I found out that you need damn subscription, to watch YOUR stuff with transcoding on your device in local network, from your local server - I complained on reddit and a lot of people was disagree with me for harsh position.

What do you meant :c
It’s right there, literally in the first sentence:
