Presumably because we let them by continuing to use their products. It’s definitely bullshit though - every time I log into a site I managed my dashboard is littered with notification banners. Most are legit notifications (albeit there should be a proper log for that), but the actual ads for plugins are maddening.

Right? I’m tired of my admin dashboard being a wall of plugin advertisements (especially from plugins I already pay for).

Yeah, I’ve heard Photoshop can be rough. Here’s hoping someone figures those out for you so you can find your way to the promised land. These days everything important to me works in Linux and I’m never going back.

Are you absolutely sure the programs you need don’t work in wine/proton? The last few years have been a renaissance in terms of increased compatibility.

Fair point, and to your other point it looks like RimpPy is indeed closed source. I took a peak and the source code archives on the release page just extract to the same 2 files in the GitHub repo.

Rimsort looks great though - I’ll definitely give it a shot on my next playthrough, so thanks for that.

FYI, RimpPy also runs in Linux. (Not that I won’t be taking a look at this.)

I love that they specify that they’re not accepting pull requests.

Very cool! Thank you for this.

Yeeeeees. If you’re orienting your company as the privacy-alternative it’d be great to emphasize support for the main privacy-oriented OS. I get that developers don’t grow on trees, but this seems like a pretty crucial feature that should be prioritized.

I mean, I recently switched to Proton knowing what I was getting into, but I’d really like to see this happen soon.

I definitely see how that’d be an annoyance. Glad it hasn’t soured you long-term on it though.

Yeah, I think AMD makes a huge difference there. My old Nvidia card had all sorts of issues with screen tearing, but my current rig worked flawlessly under Wayland with no tweaking necessary.

Well that’s unfortunate. I guess different hardware and configs can really make all the difference. In my case I’m using a desktop with no integrated graphics at all, so no chance of that particular problem happening. This build is all-AMD and using Wayland.

I’ve only had two small issues thus far, across the dozen or so games I’ve tried on this setup. Both were very easy to fix, though one is worth mentioning as it’s loosely similar to yours: in Valheim literally every time I started the game it’d default to the wrong audio output and I’d have to manually switch it back.

Sorry to hear about your own bad experience. Given the rate at which the desktop ecosystem keeps improving, however, and marketshare creeps up, I’m sure in a few more years it might be worth giving it another shot with your setup.

This is really cool and I’m glad it exists for those stuck on Windows for certain games. That said, I’d still highly encourage anyone interested to give Linux a shot. I ran it as my daily driver for years about a decade ago, but finally switched back to Windows because I was spending too much time trying to get my games to work. I finally got fed up with Windows 11 and moved back last year. Holy hell has gaming on Linux come a long way with Proton. Everything I’ve thrown at it has worked flawlessly, and runs at least as fast as they did on Windows.

That said, I get that not everyone wants such a paradigm shift or to learn a new tech just to play their games. In the interim of not running Linux on my desktop, I still worked with Linux servers and used the Windows Linux Subsystem, so I get that I’m a little biased in how easy the switch was. You can find distros that are very beginner-friendly, however, or even specifically gaming-oriented.

But yeah, for those stuck on Windows due to games with pervasive anti-cheat or whatever, I get that AtlasOS could be a gamechanger.

Thank you for coming to me Ted Talk.

This looks legit pretty promising! I’ve been gradually working on moving off of Notion for the last year, and somehow this one slipped past my notice.

I don’t have any experience with CoreOS so can’t help you on that front. That said, it sounds like the server in question isn’t mission-critical in the first place and you seem to have come up with a good argument for trying it out. Why not give it a go and see how it works out?

I suspect that this might get interesting (in the way that one might want to grab popcorn for). I don’t know the current numbers but a sizable amount of web servers use nginx to at least some degree.
