- andreime 7y agoI smell mistrust. How can they trust Canonical to not "innovate" again?
- ryuukk_ 7y ago"innovate" ? lol it is valve who dropped support for native linux games, instead they prefer the garbage emulation route
- flukus 7y agoCanonical have been pretty awful at ensuring compatibility IME, I'm not sure if they're to blame or the individual projects but they've flip flopped on enough things (like wayland) that cause incompatibilities for developers. One game for instance, will start with the games display rectangle offset by the gnome top bar under wayland but not in xorg. Another game but the same publisher has the same issue in xorg but not wayland. Another by the same publisher again relied on a dependency that got removed from the base distro between 16.04 and 18.04. I'm not sure if any other distros are better, but I've seen issue like this sit in the ubuntu bug tracker for years before getting closed with no resolution, switching users for instance doesn't seem to have worked for the better part of a decade.
