Hey now, they aren’t Nazis. Nazis at least believe in something, even if it’s something terrible.

Some things we would want to install aren’t in the official repos. Downloading the deb file is a solution to that for newer users.

It’s not attitude they are giving you. It’s strong recommendation. It’s the strong recommendation of the entire Linux community.

Sudo is different than run as admin and is not intended to be used to do things the way Windows does them.

That indicates that you might buy it if it’s good. The person I replied to implied they would never have purchased it at all.

If you were never going to buy it, why pirate it?

I don’t know that I agree with this for anything but GPUs. There are plenty of distros that are stable and don’t require constant fiddling.

This is a hot take if I’ve ever seen one. I may disagree with this particular action but supporting companies that make games I want to play and are demonstrably fun is never morally wrong.

The world is more complex than that.

I just now discovered why people are hating on Ubuntu pro by receiving a note that Ubuntu will not provide security updates for some apps it came with unless you activate Pro.

I think I’m done with Ubuntu on any personal machines.

Why is it Valves responsibility to provide alternative install methods? If you genuinely believe it isn’t providing value just don’t use Steam to buy games if you don’t want to install using it.

I believe the answer is no. I think it installs over Wi-Fi, fine, so long as the adapter isn’t a weird of brand or something.

I have one for work and I’ll say it’s high, sometimes. Can sounds like a jet engine.

My Darter does not have that issue, though.

I just took it favoring a daily driver for gaming and every distro it gave had either didn’t work, isn’t optimized for, or requires additional config for gaming.

Hope this is satirical, cause otherwise I hate to say it but you’re also a boomer.

It’s not hip to hate on things.

On Windows and Mac, you are doing a number of things implicitly that you don’t realize.

When you download from their site, you are expected to verify the integrity and validity of the install file yourself. You also have to take ownership of installing any dependencies yourself.

With the instructions mulvad is providing you, you are connecting to a repo and apt does all that for you.

Some installs don’t require dependencies, but some do. Long term, this style of install tends to be a lot simpler, you just have to learn it.

But more importantly and as others have stated. Linux is different. If you aren’t interested in learning a new workflow, you should stick with something familiar. That’s a choice you should make not because others said it but because you want it.

That can depend on a lot of factors, though. From the bus of the enclosure to the speed of the USB port and cables you used.

I wouldn’t have expected a 40 percent drop on the modern USB standards, but I’d still expect a drop. I was thinking closer to 20 percent.

It definitely is, but likely comes with a slight performance sacrifice due to bus speeds.

I think Chrome OS did an excellent job of achieving what it set out to do. Which was be a low profile closed ecosystem meant for people who just need to surf the web.

I won a Chromebook in a drawing and used it fairly regularly until my wife co-opted it as her own.

It’s not that an Amazon instance can be a docker container. It was more that the behavior you are describing is extremely odd for a full Linux environment but normal for a docker container.

If you created the instance, it isn’t likely a container. But it also sounds like the base image might be poorly set up

Microsoft teams screen share for me. Doesn’t work at all with Wayland.

Well, the docker command wouldn’t exist inside of a container. You could use uname to check the system info.

How is it you don’t know this information about a system you’ve connected to?
