I like the GPL for the kernel, so I wouldn't switch.

not the same thing at all. Different userspace that may or may not be that efficient at power, as well as well tested power management in the kernel for specific devices.

because they care about ABI/API stability.

that's why they are doing varlink now

that's what i was doing 15 years ago! I played a pretty decent amount of games. Every year got better and better.

It did and was, it was just something that built up over time as more and paper cuts and small things got fixed. So even if it didn't feel like things were changing, they were. I've been "gaming" on linux for a long time

that just pushes away the problem ,it doesn't solve it. I still hit that limit when i ran a big compile while some other programs were using a lot of memory.

Please don't erase all the groundwork they've done over the years to make it possible for these later enhancements to happen. It wasn't like they were twiddling their thumbs this whole time!

yes it is possible with rust, python, php, and likely many others

what is missing was a replacement for the flash editor itself, not the format.

critical at build time, not runtime

Swappiness and many others can be changed by some sort of system preset rather built that way. I know not ALL options can be done that way, but I'd want to see changes start there where feasible.

there were many of us who really liked gnome 3 though. Not that it was issue free, but the workflow was very appealing.

i don't have a problem recommending people use bazzite because of the nature of the whole system. It makes it harder for regular users to break it, while making it easy(er) to rollback.

but how did we get the priorities?

anti-cheat is one thing, but i'm not aware of any DRM that doesn't work on linux? I know denuvo is one of the most popular ones and it definitely does

There are also many (some in the comments to this post) who have excluded themselves because of it. Not that they should have the final word the subject of course. I'm just saying you can't assume they they didn't because the

you still need to subtitle the japanese text in signs, chat messages and other places that appear on the screen.

That is indeed important, but it's not enough.

> Was already worried about the project given that it hasn't seen a new release in quite a long time IIRC the maintainer was moving countries. Not saying that's the main or only reason, but it is likely a factor.

so how would a user know which one to choose? I already get analysis paralysis as a software dev enough.

by johnny22 1y ago
I've found the opposite of that. I've found good people from all sorts of cultures and countries.

This hasn't stopped anybody from releasing a product that I'm aware of.

100% agree. Why would they adopt it if it doesn't pass the upstream test suite. I assumed that would be required before even considering it! I was expecting that they would be concerned about bugs in the untested parts!

and yet coreutils continues to receive updates in ways that could break things.

by johnny22 1y ago
It's supposed to pass the coreutils upstream tests. If it does, then that would mean the upstream tests still need work

many folks make a distinction between source available and open source.
