How surprising, I love using Telegram specifically because it feels so stable & polished across multiple platforms (including Linux). In fact , the UI/UX is so straightforward I was even able to successfully transition my friends

Half the OP is complaints about Linux kernel security. How is ChromeOS, which uses the Linux kernel, immune from these complaints?

Do you just believe this or was this tested in court yet? I haven't been following the various lawsuits on this issue closely but I had thought that, so far, they were leaning towards fair use.

I live in a condo in the suburbs of NH. My neighborhood mostly looks like a series of houses smushed together like townhouses in a city, but with a shared spacious yard in front of them & behind them. Most of them are linked on both sid

OS/2 was competing on the enterprise market, I don't really see it as a good comparison to the Linux/Proton situation, yet for some reason I see it brought up a lot in these discussions. Why would OS/2 come to mind and n

It would be very amusing to me if certain games on Windows could only be run via a hacky WSL -> Proton layer. Yet somehow not surprising ;)

I briefly touched on this but steam runtimes (aka shared library runtimes) in practice aren't as isolated as one would assume, an update to glibc is often enough to break applications targeting them. Furthermore, in practice many maint

Proton is just a new desktop application API for Linux, one specialized for gaming. While the win32 API is certainly not an open standard, it is a stable one, arguably more stable than even browser APIs, and obviously more stable than the v

At this point I'm convinced that if Google ever succeeds in making Fuchsia a "success", they would drop it all together within a year.

Right now, who do you think looks more ridiculous? a) Your strawman, who is apparently comfortable without privacy from the government, but does support free speech so they can be racist? b) The guy who replies to a comment advocating for

I disagree, Proton simply ports the most popular desktop application API to Linux. If this trend continues, perhaps one day win32 will outlive Windows itself...

Are you sure your power supply was large enough? I had similar stability issues with the 6900xt until I upgraded my PSU.

I think Elixir is closer to an easier to read Lisp than to Haskell. In fact if someone claimed to know Rust, but couldn't figure out Elixir then I'd simply assume they were lying about their Rust experience.
