> ...just to get my graphics and sound working at the same time after a system update Sounds like you’ve never used a modern Arch based distro. In 2 years of using Manjaro as my daily driver that’s never happened to me.

I'm not sure how that's relevant. I'm American and I've been running Windows since the 80s and Linux since the 90s, which are the OSes we're talking about.

Continually asking me to change my speech offends me way more. Please stop doing that.

If people keep badgering you to do anything, however seemingly benign, it affects you. How does it not affect you?

Yeah I’ve also done both. Have you? My experience tells me absolutely 100% that separating them is better. I’ve been using computers since the 80’s. How long have you been using them?

Running a gaming/entertainment system on your workstation irresponsible. Even before I switched to Manjaro Linux for my daily driver workstation, I had separate machines for gaming and working. First of all, because I've seen many

No, it's irrational to think that you won't have to deal with the problems of two different OSes when you're running two different OSes. Run only one of them and you'll only have to deal with the problems of one of them

I’m not scared of their strategy because I’m aware of it. I’m scared of adding all the unknown problems of Windows to all the problems of Linux and then having to depend on that on a daily basis. So, I won’t use it. It’s too easy to buy a u

OK great. I have no problem with that. I’d choose the opposite... if I had that choice. Why should we not have that choice though?

How about we just let people install whatever they want on their own pocket computers that they fully paid for? Sounds crazy, I know.

Boy I wish there was a way to do that in iOS Safari, where they only let you disable it for the entire browser and not just for a single website. Maybe once Apple allows a default web browser to be set, I will finally get this ability on my

Ahh, sorry but I'm not going to read anymore from you here. I've pointed out undeniable real life parallels where things might not go the way you're thinking. If you can't accept that reality, then I can't really he

What gestures were you missing? I have libinput-gestures working just fine with 2, 3 and 4 finger events, although I vastly prefer a 5-button vertical mouse (Evoluent) and keeping my fingers on the keyboard over a touchpad... With some smal

Easy. A) When we came up with rules for car manufacturers, why should any single one of them get preferential treatment? B) Do people need third party car parts that car manufacturers originally wouldn't let anybody else manufacture? M

I guess you'd have to ask Microsoft’s chief legal officer Brad Smith. Also, game consoles aren't nearly as ubiquitous or important to society as smart phones. I'm all for treating them very differently! We certainly don'

Microsoft has definitely spoken out about app stores and their 30% cut. Here's a quote: > “If you look at the industry today, I think what you’ll find is increasingly you’re seeing app stores that have created higher walls and far

They definitely don't offer 400mb of updates every single day. You also don't have to apply updates every time they offer them. If you waited to apply updates once every 3 months you'd be fine.

Microsoft is. They publicly sided with and are helping to support Epic. Google didn’t do a mobile PWA for Stadia even on Android. I thought there was a comment about some technical limitations on iOS Safari in some previous thread but I c

Probably because they rightfully feel that they shouldn’t have to resort to that and they would rather just fight Apple. As a consumer, I hope they win. It’s my pocket computer, I paid for it and I own it, so I should be able to do whatever

I’ll second that! Manjaro is my longest running installation of a desktop Linux. I’ve got it on three workstations since 2018 and it’s still running perfectly. Every other desktop distro has shit the bed after an update for me.

Oh, I meant half the smartphone using population of the US, which is around 280 million people. It's a fact that the iPhone has half that market and that number is only growing since they also have somewhere between 80 and 90 percent o

No, it’s allowed. There is even a badge in the store to announce the requirement. Rockstar games for instance required a third-party account to play GTA5.

They absolutely can. You’re acting like there’s zero way for them to throttle what’s going on in Safari. How do you think Google warns you when you’re going to some malware website? They keep a list somewhere. Apple could do that very easil

We're talking about PWA notifications, not pure web notifications. The P in PWA comes from the word progressive. So, we don't need to enable every native feature immediately for every website. People who want PWA notifications wou
