Yeah, same for me. Basically, just a few games with anti-cheat (or poorly implemented anti-cheat) are the only issue for me. Most other things can be made to work, even if there can be some jank involved. But even then, 70-80% of games "just work" and it's amazing.

I've been using Linux exclusively for 4+ years now, it's amazing whenever you can achieve it. You could consider dual-booting for your system, or running windows in a VM if the software you need isn't something that requires a ton of horsepower.

It really is true! Proton has fundamentally shifted how Linux can be used, and now with the Deck it's reaching people it never would have reached before. I'm sure Valve did it for their own benefit, but some of it was born out of a need for survival too. This all started because Valve saw the trend of Windows moving towards only having the Windows store be the source for software, and Valve started planning. It was an extremely smart move on their part, cause now Valve has positioned themselves to re-unlock a category of gaming hardware that only had Nintendo competing in it viably up until now.

And yes, the "purists" are the same ones who complain about Wayland, Systemd, etc. The things that have brought Linux to where it is now, and why it's used by as many as it is. They should just be ignored, tbh.

Huh, this might be one of the few examples of "don't break userspace" not being held to by Linus and co? I'm sure stuff like this has happened before, but "don't break userspace" has been a fairly strong guiding principle for the kernel for sometime. So seeing something like this happen is actually a bit surprising.

Though I guess it could be argued that if the removal of fTPM causes fewer bugs/issues than leaving it in place then userspace wasn't broken. But still, it's interesting to see regardless.

Good bot!

Also, I'd argue this is a good step forward for Suse, as it will take a lot of shareholder pressure off of them.

Lol, well that might be a challenge to some, but yes you are generally correct! xD

Probably because it is... Cannabis smoke isn't that healthy overall, but it's found to be safer than Tobacco smoke is at least. It doesn't carry nearly the carcinogenic risks of tobacco, and afaik, it doesn't carry the same risks for COPD, chronic bronchitis, etc. Though longer term studies would be needed for those to get real data to know for sure.

Well, by that logic, if they shut down, the the next largest will be targeted, and then the next largest, etc. That's not a winning game for anyone involved...

I mean, that could happen to any other Lemmy instance too, unfortunately. And even if you do decentralize, a server going down still deprives the rest of us of that content, so it's never not going to cause some issues. So I wouldn't hold this against Lemmy.world.

Yeah, Nick Merrill is an awesome guy, and I really like what he's done with CalyxOS as well. Community is great too, if you need any help, just ask and someone will definitely be able to help out.

Infinity too.

They said themselves the issue isn't signups or server capacity, it's that they've been under multiple rounds of DDoS attacks.

Heh, I'll just leave this here for folks.
