That was my point. They (forum users, I don’t think actual developers) insisted that it’s a middle solution. That I could use the application and whitelist only the browser and that some JS could bypass the VPN and get the real IP.

I got two years of Nord for that same reason, then two of Proton that’s about to end, so this was probably around 4 years ago.

I don’t have the source, but they confirmed it’s automatic. The caveat is that it is based on $ sold, not units. So the deck will count as 7 or 8 full priced games.

Browser extension for the VPN? I remember asking in the forums some time back and they were extremely hostile to the idea.

This is from an old interview, but I haven’t seen them retract

They already said SteamOS will be made available for OEMs and general users, they want to polish it before

The dip in “others” correlated to the increase in Linux being correlated is not an issue. They need to add up to 100%, how do you expect one to increase with l without a decrease in the other?

The funny thing is that Google can’t make a big fuss about it without screwing themselves when they are inevitably sued for the same thing.

Google s is the largest, but not the only one. Amazon, Samsung and some OEMs have their own app stores too.

There are alson sites that archive and distribute apks, like Apkmirror.

I have a tablet logged to nothing (as in no account, not the OEM) and all my apps come from fdroid, obtanium or apkmirror.

It started as an experiment, and honestly it’s (for me) not a big hurdle, but an app store would make things easier, that’s for sure.

ELI5: what does this mean for the end user? Is there any simple test I can do with both to see this?

Being OOS doesn’t change that they read the last one that worked consistently for me. I’m not recommending to use it, just stating my experience.

Not sure were the business comment comes from.

Newest versions don’t work very well. The only over that worked consistently got me read 2010.

I think part of the issue is that it’s quite integrated with the system and that makes it harder. Crossover lists 2013 as working, but 2021 as not even installing

The first one I’ve never encountered, but I also never heard about those (only razor). Fit girl always works (the one with Amelie). I’ve tried others and also worked.

It could be those installers have dependencies that are not in your base bottle?

If the alternative is Microsoft, you’re between a rock and another rock that used to claim not being evil.

Libreoffice all the way. Most users don’t need more than that.

I didn’t downvote it, but I really didn’t like the video. It goes like “the things that are problems in Linux” and then starts talking about an extremely customized system, from DE to kernel, to audio…

I don’t think he gets, in general at least, to explain why those are needed, just how complex it all is. It would have been more interesting to say “this are the problems with an out of the box distro, and the hurdles it took me go fix each one”.

Mind you, this doesn’t mean I think a fresh install of Ubuntu can perfectly work for him. But knowing what didn’t work and why might be more helpful for people considering the same

Agreed. Mac for work, Linux for general use and gaming. Windows for when my father needs to use my computer to check Facebook.

Part of Russia is part of Eastern Europe. But but all Eastern Europe is Russia.

Laughs in Eastern Europe

I see a lot of news of it “coming soon” and leaks, but not an official release. Do you have more info?

FastAPI, not a language, but a very good python library, if somebody wants to read the story

What on earth are you taking about?? I’m telling you that “no money = Linux” is a bad argument and you come back with a drug fueled conspiracy theory.

I’m not even giving an argument, I’m telling you you have no argument. You’re the one that should be explaining your theory.

Dude, chill a bit. Take some fresh air and stay away from sharp objects.
