I think part of the issue is people don’t remember all of the little tricks they’ve learned over the years getting windows to work for them. So when they find Linux and have to learn a whole bag of them it feels like it’s not worth it compared to something that “just works” (in their mind anyway)

Duel booting definitely isn’t a viable strategy for most people imho. The best situation would be seeing crappy everyday laptops sold in bestbuy or whatever with either windows or some gaming configured Linux. People shouldn’t have to think about the OS as much as possible

Prebuilts and preconfigured systems are where most people live. It’s also often where most gamers start before diving into something more sophisticated for the sake of things like performance

I honestly forgot people even buy these

I’m sorry but that’s such a ploopy take. You can’t just judge something by it’s name 🙄

Yeah, no I’m aware of their history. More to the point it has little to nothing to do with Bazzite being negatively effected by Fedora dropping support for 32 bit. It’s not like 32 bit Fedora systems are keeping American immigrants from being deported and by deprecating them IBM is returning to their Nazi roots

I mean companies by definition surrender to power for the sake of profit. I don’t see how that makes them any better or worse than any other company that functions under our current system

watchu talkin bout mate

If it helps at all some of the comments in the linked discussion mentions it’s at minimum a year out

Ah yeah. Would be unfortunate. Bazzite was the least amount of setup i’ve ever had to do with linux and is the only repo I could recommend to someone non-technical

Did he elaborate on why? Is it really that integral to have 32bit tools?

Comms must be infrequent bc my domain sink doesn’t log anything like that from my tv when I’ve checked

Alternatively:

Ubuntu users switching back to Ubuntu after using Arch for ten minutes

What happened?

Who’re u calling a nerd u nerd

Big fan of Mist Grave and Thank you

Think the title is a bit of an over exaggeration. Auxiliary tools being built in lower level and thus faster and more efficient languages isn’t anything new.

Still, happy to see rust has found a place in the ecosystem. I’m a big fan of ruff

When you want to turn it on, instead unplug it and go start a farm. Problem solved, requires zero ram

What a weirdly wide timeframe to consider

in chrome? no

Ya ime it’s mostly about what people are comfortable with. People who care about all the features :tm: go to emacs, people who want to use an instrument stick with vim, and old people use nano

Clean. simple. Has my vote
