I think I tried emudeck and it wouldn’t install. But that wasn’t their issue (turned out to be a regression upstream).

I think I had stuttering sound in audio too. But that’s via HDMI.

Spdif no issue

I also used another gaming distro though so might be confusing them

They should absolutely keep developing it. It will only get better, and I’m a unique case because I’ve been using Linux probably since 1998 or so.

But I feel they make things a bit more custom, and it will only get better. It has a lot of potential, and is probably the best option already for many people

Yeah. And honestly, way land already works fine (even screen sharing). Waydroid is a bit of a killer app too (but needs more refinement,).

Gimp runs in windows. The security thing isn’t really true (X11 isn’t secure and it can’t be fixed apparently)

In fact, as others have said, really bad comparison…

I tried it. Gave up and moved to regular fedora at the end. I didn’t see any real benefits personally

I did like many of the ideas, like gamescope is built in. But I think I had minor issues

I disagree… The problem actually is that Wayland is optional, and still is.

So everyone was dragging their heels (and some still are). If all the major distro’s set a cut off date, then things would speed up. The biggest reason for delay was Nvidia imho, so now that they’re sorted, it seems things are falling into place faster.

X11 still hasn’t solved any of their real issues, and its still a security nightmare (which can’t be fixed). Furthermore, most of the developers have moved off it.

What exactly do you like about X11?

I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.

Otherwise, it’s clear that it fails at being a mouse

And nobody noticed…

Maybe calling a hero cave diver a pedo wasn’t a great idea, Elon

I didn’t even realise until the other day you need an account to use it now at all it seems.

So no surprise. In the past, I recall you could browse without a login… so of course nobody is going to put ads on it

Also, why would you want those customers?

Actually, I did have this exact issue last time I used bazzite, and ended up switching to fedora.

Bluetooth would just stop working. Which was an issue because I was using a dual shock as a mouse and for gaming

You can’t use a lot of apps without it

So sure you can, but it isn’t an awesome experience

I looked something up today.

Do plumbers fit shower screens? Plumbers do not usually fit frameless shower screens. Most of the time, they break the glass panels and hurt themselves. Others do not try going through the installation hassle.

The whole thing is embarrassing. The only way it could be worse could be if they harvested 4chan

Looking forward to an upgraded crossover office along with it

Not really. On Lemmy, it seems to just refer to anything these days

And that includes theoretical predictions for things that never happened yet

You can’t think of it a single massive project. It’s actually lots of small components.

We could argue the linux kernel is bloated too. The reality is though, provided the project is designed to be modular (as SystemD is), it actually makes sense to keep it together, to ensure there is a standard base and all the components are synchronised fully with their API’s.

It also saves distro’s a lot of effort.

If you’re going to make your system worse, you should also combine with Norton anti virus too.

Either that, or just use the Microsoft one that is free

Can we talk about the enshittifation of Lemmy. Where everyone seems to be calling everything enshittified?

There’s a reason GitHub is the largest service lol

You need to sell services based on their advantages rather than the politics. The reality is, github allows projects to be very easily migrated to other services anyway.

Using something because it’s open source isn’t helpful at all if it doesn’t work with your workflow easily

Productivity is more important to the success of open source than anything else.

I know this, because a project of mine died because we wasted too much time on infrastructure

Developers don’t need access to the GitHub source to do their job, and there is no advantage to anyone.

In fact, if they distribute the code, it simply reduces the incentive for Microsoft to improve it, and the only ones who will step are, are shit companies like Oracle

There is a massive GitHub API which you probably already aren’t using. And now you want them to release the source code which you also won’t look at?

If they open source the code, what contributions would you make? How many contributions have you made to the Lemmy code? How many with vs code?

How would it benefit open source projects given that GitHub hosting is free for open source? How would it benefit GitHub?

Would you host your own GitHub repo when you can host it for free (which it will be for open source) on GitHub or other services anyway

Some projects don’t really benefit from open source.

If it’s a big thing, host your own using an open source project. Compete against GitHub.

But calling me a shill isn’t really an effective argument. I have contributed to a few open source projects in the past and released some of my own.

I don’t feel like forcing companies to open source their projects is the way. Open source needs to win on it’s own merits. And plenty of open source projects have (the Linux kernel as an example).

Have you contributed anything to githubs competitors? That might be a place to start. Because at the moment, there aren’t any issues with GitHub that open sourcing would address. Microsoft don’t need the additional resources

So tired of seeing these posts.

Nobody worth listening to is complaining about creating an account on GitHub. Ubuntu brainstorm was a huge success and you had to create an account for that too

It literally takes 30s.

And github has a hugely comprehensive API that allows developers to easily move if that want to.

If Microsoft Open sourced the backend, the reality is, nobody would look at the code, and everyone would still use GitHub because it’s reliable. Vs code is open source, and I’m willing to bet community contributions are limited

And open sourcing the backend just means Oracle will take the code, and set up their own server for marginally cheaper and make GitHub worse… That’s what they did with red hat

If this is real, this is actually a good idea. Even things like multi monitor management work a lot better on KDE imho
