When I said native, I meant native to the language, something written purely in Zig, without depending on external UI toolkits. Basically like how Rust's egui works.

I would recommend installing Scratch[1] - it's a programming language designed for kids from 8yrs old onwards. I would recommend pairing it with a Raspberry Pi, as you can do fun real-world physical stuff with using Scratch, and I thin

What if you're a few days shy of 31, and they decide to hire you, but you just cross 31 at the time you sign the contract, would that be deemed as an illegal hire? Or what if you were a few minutes away from turning 31 when you signed

Unfortunately capy uses Gtk+ on Linux, so it's a no-go for me. :(

Is there a decent native GUI library for Zig yet? I don't want to use bloated toolkits like GTK and Qt. I like the simplicity and speed of Rust's eGUI. Something similar for Zig would be amazing.

ThinkPad T480/T480s. Not only do they support Windows 11, they also support Coreboot and Libreboot so you no longer have to rely on Lenovo for firmware updates (and it is more secure than the official firmware).

Don't forget all the opensource ports/engine recomps that (still) work great on Linux: - OpenJazz (port of Jazz Jackrabbit) - OpenOMF (One Must Fall 2097) - OpenMW (Morrowind) - Devilution X (Diablo) - SDLPoP (Prince of Persia) -

Suggestion 2 - don’t require iOS, period. A lot of people are on Android, as they feel iOS is not that great. You’re missing out on a lot of users and unless you require a specific feature that only Apple has then you should just make it a

There's also USB Mountr (aka PhoneStick)[1], but of course YMMV with modern Android. Might be better to use a rooted Android with the DriveDroid + the Magisk compatibility module[2]. [1] https://github.com/JinbaIttai&#x

You should be able to boot those using the "wimboot" mode.

How are you creating your Ventoy drive? I would recommend using GPT. Also be sure to boot your drive in UEFI mode. Finally, be sure to update Ventoy to the latest version, they release regular updates with bugfixes for compatibility issues

Funny how a lot of us got into computers that way. For me, it was wanting to play Prince of Persia and other DOS games on my cousin's PC when he wasn't around. Figured out what CD and DIR did and how I could run different games by

Have you configured your tunables with powertop, set amd_pstate = active (and/or set up TLP)? If not, give that a try, it's a game changer. Also by all day I meant working day (8+ hours), which is good enough for me to take my lap

They don't need to enter a market. All they need to do is partner with a retailler like Amazon/eBay - or even just allow other retailers to resell them. Okay so even if they don't want to do that, all they need to do is not

Ubuntu's "stability"? Can't tell if it's sarcasm or if the author is actually serious. This sounds like a recipe for disaster.

You keep bringing up Proton but you forget that Proton is just Wine + a couple of other existing FOSS projects + some of Valve's patches. Wine is really what makes the magic happen, and Wine existed as far back as 1993, and there was b

I hear you, but at the same time, you can't deny the amount of improvements the Linux ecosystem has seen due to Valve's involvement: tons of AMD-related improvements in the kernel, tons of mesa/radeon improvements, massive im

It's trivial for any Tom, Dick and Harry to fork an opensource project and "extend" it - but none have so far actually extended the engine - have they implemented any new W3C standards or fixed any compliance bugs? Have they

I don't run SteamOS but I run Bazzite on my desktop, the main advantage of running these immutable gaming distros is to have a fuss-free gaming experience - my PC boots straight to Steam, and I never ever have to worry about OS updates

What if they're not "Xbox" branded? Eg GPD devices (they even advertise official Bazzite support).
