Linux basically cannot damage hardware in any way that Windows couldn’t. The hardware/firmware decides what interfaces it offers and what you can configure. If any hardware puts these roadblocks only in the driver or some UI, and (for whatever reason) only the Windows version, I guess you could.
Would be a really strange thing to do tho, since most just implement a generic driver that works everywhere and then at most an interface on top of that.
There is no such thing as a feature that doesn’t need documentation. Anyone who thinks so is asking everyone else not to use it
Being “up to date” is a lie big Debian tells people to make them feel comfortable about being behind on patches. Wake up people!
I mean, why support another API if you have already implemented one, right? Pretty sure there is a Flatpak Version of Proton, wo you can somehow bundle it as well
Bruh, you need a new name. “EU OS” is both terribly bland and super hard to pronounce. I guess they got screwed by EndeavourOS and e/OS already occupying EOS already, but you can do better. Let me try:
EurOS (self-explanatory) Ios (as a play on Io, the mythological ancestor of Europa and, in my humble opinion, a brilliant mocking of iOS) BoIS (Boring Independence System… Why yes, I do like Rust and Arch, how did you know?) PlutOS (Lowest layer, ruler of the underworld, get it? Get it? Okay, it mainly sounds cool.)
Can we please just ban distro war ragebait?
It’s 2025 and I’m sick and tired of it. You can feel cool for using a specific distro for all I care, you are embarrassing yourself at worst. You are toxic for shitting on other distros or creating an adversarial narrative tho
I mean, good for him I guess? Comparing Mint to Arch is about as pointless as comparing Mint to headless Debian.
…Except there are three players in that game already. Go by the names of Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu
1/3 of the Steam + Linux market, that accounted for an incredible 1.45% of Steam installs in February. This means there were roughly 67 Windows gamers for every Linux gamer (using Steam) that month.
So even if Linux gamers are 10 times more likely to care (and pay for) for game preservation, you are not even approaching the number of Windows users that might. Suppose 90% of Linux gamers care, while only 9% on Windows do, you still have roughly 9 Windows users for every Linux one. And this is a very generous assumption to make.
Maybe, eventually, at some point, this makes sense financially. But if your goal is to be profitable, you grab the low hanging fruits first, not invest in maybe 10% more potential users.
What if I told you that the intersection between people who care and the 5% of their potential audience that are Linux users is very small either way?
I’m not saying Linux isn’t a chance for them, but it’s also an investment and very like not a profitable one for quite a while.
You could also buy insanely expensive IBM enterprise hardware. I think they still do PowerPC stuff
Because companies give zero fucks. They will tell you they need tons of IT people, when in reality they want tons of underpaid programmers. They want stuff as fast and cheap as possible. What doesn’t cause immediate trouble is usually good enough. What can be patched up somehow is kept running, even when it only leads you further up the cliff you will fall off eventually.
Management is sometimes completely clueless. They rather hire twice as many people to keep some poorly developed app running, than to invest in a new, better developed app, that requires less maintenance and provides a better user experience. Zero risk tolerance and zero foresight.
It still generates money, you keep it running. Any means are fine.
You need to use as many different formats as possible, otherwise you look unprofessional
Since you can set temporary, server-only nicknames, you don’t even need to edit the page source or Photoshop to stage that
Go to settings, search for Application Style
, there, in the top right you can click Gtk Theme
and select one. You can also click Get new..
and download a new one. Note that they might now show all by default.
You can find more via the website. To do so, select any, click Visit project website
and search the site for more. To find them in the Get new...
window, just put the name in the search bar. They are guaranteed to show then.
Edit: Any of the items I named might be slightly off. Need to get to my computer to correct that 😄
Pretty damn cool tech tho. Another step towards second heart cyberware
Aren’t they installed by default on Mint? Definitely are on some distros, I think EndeavourOS and Garuda Linux for example
