Building a brand new machine and leaving Windows for good
  • If buying a graphics card is in your plans, but AMD. Nvidia does better cards, but AMD works with less bugs on Linux. I just switched and I'm quite happy with the results.

    For distro, Mint is a safe bet.

  • Was banning human slavery an authoritarian decision?
  • I think you are lost in the language. There are no absolute rights, in any legal systems. So any "law" necessarily restricts someone's "rights".

    Therefore, you need to think about what "authoritarian decision" means, because if all law restricts someone's rights, all laws are authoritarian by your definition.

    Also: terrible example to begin with.

  • What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?
  • "Don't be a protagonist in someone else's story" You shouldn't make decisions for someone else, nor prevent the results for their actions. You can help, advice, but should not intervene without permission.

    (Except if the someone in question is a kid, then you probably should intervine)

  • EA SPORTS WRC will be adding EA anticheat, game will not playable any more. On ProtonDB game is rated Platinum
  • Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.

    But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually this problems will not happen for the majority of their use base.

    So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.

  • EA SPORTS WRC will be adding EA anticheat, game will not playable any more. On ProtonDB game is rated Platinum
  • Inform yourself what Steam Linux Runtime is before making such comments. You are 100% wrong.

    If a game depends on an API and this API gets discontinued, without adaptation it will have problems. That's true for any software and any system. As a compatibility layer, Proton can keep old games compatible despite the system changes when it translates the API calls that the games depend on to what the base system has to offer. (I'm not talking necessarily of a game running on Steam in this case)

    So, enlighten me, where am I wrong?

  • EA SPORTS WRC will be adding EA anticheat, game will not playable any more. On ProtonDB game is rated Platinum
  • The cost to maintain "native" ports is too high to make sense for most developers.

    PS: Proton also makes it easier to preserve games since an "native" port would become incompatible overtime without work to adapt the software to changes in the system it's running.

  • Why the state monopoly on identity is worse than Big Tech
  • My problems with this text:

    • it equates state and business, they are not the same and business should not be treated as a viable substitute for a state.
    • it make it look like all places have the same set of problems when it's more like same places have same of the problems and probably nowhere have all of them.

    In an ideal world...

    We don't live in an ideal world.

  • It's it easier now?

    I started a new run to play the Phantom Liberty content and I'm under the impression that the original missions got easier, seems like there are less enemies in each mission.

    Did anyone else have the same feeling?
