The owning class is the only minority group that does you any harm.

All those packages, but terrible/lacking documentation and LSP support 😭 And, yes, I've tried nixd and nil, and they're not even close.

I've tried to learn Nix multiple times, and even got by okay running NixOS for a year or so, but doing almost anything that isn't just adding a package to a list in a nix file or flake was like pulling teeth because everything is documented so poorly (or not at all). It would take me hours to do what I could have done in seconds with any other package management tool or configuration management because I'd have to scour hundreds of search results to find someone that did the thing I'm trying to do because there was little-to-no documentation for it.

Nix is a tool with amazing promise that could solve so many problems if they could get their documentation and LSP support up to the standard of something like Rust.

I would say that development is the one thing that can get very annoying on immutable distros.

Flatpaks can only get you so far (as seen by the VS Code Flatpak's limitations that have to be worked around). I don't even use VS Code, so I can get around that pretty comfortably, but I have to use Distrobox for a lot of miscellaneous developer tools, and even then, I still run into problems and I can't install container tools inside of the containers that I'm already working in.

Not to discourage you from trying. I can still get by with some dev work on Bazzite, but it's waaay easier to do the same dev work on CachyOS (Arch-derivative) because I can just install shit normally and it will work.

Same. If most of my games stopped working, I would be very annoyed, especially because it was entirely preventable.

Thankfully, the Fedora project and community agree.

No. Valve (the biggest offender) will have to make native 64-bit Steam before then, as will the remaining holdouts, so Linux distros will be able to remove 32-bit packages in a timely manner.

Removing then now will break too much to be worth doing.

Nooooo. I have to reduce veganism to a dietary preference instead of a rights movement so it's easier to dismiss it because a vegan was annoying or whatever one time!

The grown-ups that run Fedora and the community are overwhelmingly against this very bad proposal, so I don't think the reich-wing creep's toy project is going to replace the official XServer implementation any time soon.

This probably has a lot to do with the new DOA XServer fork being "anti-DEI" (pro-discrimination). When these slimy shitweasels go out and vice signal about how bigoted they are, they congregate around it and form a new harassment campagin because they have no life.

Sorry you're getting harassed. I hope you can take solace in the fact that these little pissbabies lead miserable lives.

If you are in the US, ROMs aren't illegal either. You're just required to rip them from a cartridge/disc you acquired legally (including second-hand purchases) and you can't distribute it to others. It's the latter part that makes it illegal (but not at all immoral). If you wanna do that last part, god bless. Fuck these companies.

I swear "review bombing" has to be an astroturfed term to delegitimize criticism when companies do shitty things.

It shifts the blame from the companies doing a shit thing (lacing their game with DRM/anti-cheat malware, making them run like shit unless you enable AI slop upscaling, shoveling AI """art""" assets, MTX, etc.) to the customers that are rightly mad about the shit thing.

Linux on Apple Silicon is a totally different story than it was for Intel Macs because of the work put in by the Asahi team. It's actually one of my favorite pieces of hardware to run Linux on. The trackpad works great too, btw.
