Paul Thurrott, a very long-time Microsoft focused journalist, also called BS on this. Apparently the EU never asked for anything, Microsoft made all of those decisions themselves and the EU basically just acknowledged them.

It's not financially worth supporting, Firefox has 6.53% of desktop and 0.53% of mobile marketshare (Statcounter), with a switching cost of zero if users encounter a breaking issue. Not surprising it got to this point, Mozilla has been

We have Crowdstrike on our Linux fleet. It is not merely a malware scanner but is capable of identifying and stopping zero-day attacks that attempt local privilege escalation. It can, for example, detect and block attempts to exploit CVE-20

I mean, yeah I don't care if Microsoft realizes I'm a parent and want to buy diapers. I've been using Firefox since it was version 0.1 and was called Phoenix, and I used it because it was better than Internet Explorer 6 and h

Yeah I'm absolutely not surprised. Controls are terrible and you're going to drain the phone's battery. You can make it a little better if you buy accessories, but then you need to carry those accessories around and it doesn&

My wife bought one of these early 2010s netbooks running Ubuntu. She didn't know what it was or how it was different, but eventually she started asking me for support. "How can I use Office? Why can't I play this video? What&

But other browsers do this (Vivaldi, Arc has split view) and its great. If the OS does it you have awkward additional spacing between those tabs and additional browser chrome because the browser is unaware of the context you're in - co

The normal release of Minecraft is Java, so it'll run anywhere. The C++ rewrite depends on Windows APIs, and it is much less flexible/moddable than the Java version. It does support playing with consoles and mobile, though.

No issues on Fedora 40 (Kinoite). Steam will capture a game's output into gamescope by default which is a good citizen on Wayland. It's actually the Wayland compositor itself on the Steam Deck.

The Deck is tied into the most popular PC games store, and one with followers so loyal they'll refuse to buy a game until it comes to Steam because they don't want another launcher. It'll do fine. People don't want to re

I mean sure it's not using native APIs, but many developers are specifically targeting Steam Deck to get a Steam Deck Verified label and show up prominently on the Steam Store. So despite developing for Windows, they are doing QA on Li

Yeah, it works for a time, but they don't support on-premise versions and they don't offer a Helm chart install, its all community based. I tried it for well over a year, and there are so many moving parts and so many "best g

I wonder what this means for Lacros (Chrome as a Wayland application compositing to Ash-Chrome). Would this just be using Surfaceflinger and the Android version of Chrome? Does this deprioritize regular Chrome for Linux?

No reason to use SteamOS, it's just immutable Arch with an A/B partition scheme. Modern SteamOS is designed specifically for the Steam Deck and they only ship it as a recovery image for the Deck. You can install Steam on whatever
