What if a new OS comes with, say, a GPU driver that is not compatible anymore? Is there not even an override for this possible? I have a PC with the GTX 970 which in computer terms is basically just after the meteorite crash ending the jurassic era. And i have been considering to use Bazzite OS for this machine.

Remember: Just tell tar to Xtract Z File.

To think there was a time when IMO Apple could convince people with great products.

(Macintosh SE explodes in the background due to overheating)

Then again i‘ve mostly seen old Apple computers on Youtube.

Don‘t forget the Core Technology Fee they will raise if you do wish to offer your app outside of the app store and you weren‘t qualified for the Apple Developer Enterprise program.

And don‘t forget that in order to be eligible for sideloading you have to have at least one million downloads on the App Store.

And don‘t forget that your app still has to go through the App Review process so you have exactly no additional freedom if you live in the european economical area.

I sure hope the EU keeps kicking Apples ass. I love iOS but i hate the lack of freedom.

Btw, does anyone know whether visionOS even supports sideloading in the EEA.

There is a single aspect in which the Switch remains superior: Simplicity. Sure, you could take the time once to set up Yuzu and your Switch games and be rewarded with superior performance.

But the technically less experienced user might be put off by the fact that you can‘t just plonk in the game and play it. That‘s however not exclusive to the Switch.

I tried downloading Switch games from uuuuh… rather bespoke sites and they had a rather uuuuh… curious idea of what ads you could throw into the users face. Vivaldi‘s integrated adblocker simply couldn‘t handle those sites. That discouraged me from downloading games for now. Luckily MIG-Dumper is there to save the day and allow me to back up my games to later play them in Yuzu.

Isn‘t the battery simply mounted with sticky tape and thanks to the case being screwed in still fessibly replaceable by the user?

Don‘t GPUs also include hardware for DRM stuff like that?

My Intel Wireless AC 7265 on my Sony VAIO begs to differ. Certainly not brand-spanking new but it’s AFAIK less than 10 years old. The speed would at some point drop under Void Linux.

How can you surf this site? I opened this in Vivaldi on my iPhone (with integrated adblock enabled) and it immediately greeted me with untrustworthy popups?

EDIT: This comment should‘ve gone under another users comment.

Open Source doesn’t mean automatically that applications look ugly. It only means that they look ugly on non-Linux systems. Like VLC Player, Open Office, etc.

Linux systems are easy to install. The real challenge is to diagnose an issue. What caused the crash of GTA V? The new Mesa drivers? The new Gamescope update? Some update in the game that breaks in conjunction with KDE running in Wayland? But you launched the game in xwayland, how could Wayland still cause trouble? Or is it the latest FEX update you installed because you saw a Youtuber playing Elden Ring on their iPhone 14 Pro with HoloISO and you figured that the 15 Pro should handle the game perfectly?

Apple: “Look, we made an ad with a woman depicting mother nature. Look at how self-aware and quirky we are.”

Me: (writes a short fanfic of mother nature beating Tim Cook up so bad, it might look like a Family Guy cutaway)

How did Microsoft not crush this project already?

Before you do make a decision, allow me to bring up a point you should consider…

(proceeds to rub all the bellies)

I think GPD offers SteamOS copies for their devices.

Hmm yeah, but what if applications had to ask for less memory from the kernel?

It didn’t cause problems since i have a lot of RAM but i still hold the opinion that just because we have a lot of RAM, we don’t need to waste it. We could keep being efficient about it and get even more out of the same amount of RAM, you know. That said, if Tauri lowers the RAM usage of the same applications i’m looking forward to it.

That’s not a compliment to Electron, that’s a heck of an indictment to Microsoft messing up the File Manager.

If a fancy text editor starts eating hundreds of megabytes RAM without having loaded a file, i think we did something wrong.

Though Visual Studio can do that too without Electron.

Electron IS a browser. It’s a Chromium browser to be exact with all the Chromium UI elements except the very bare minimum removed.

So the only difference that remains is running a website in a tab or in a fancy window.

I personally invert the axes in third person scenarios because the camera moves around the character and i want to move the camera.

Within first person shooters i don’t because i move the camera/head to where i want to look.
