@danielfgom @cygnus fedora is as independent of red hat as Linux mint is independent of canonical. At least as far as I know
@flashgnash yeah they work in proton... that's not native linux. porting a windows game to native Linux is more trouble that its worth for most devs hence projects like proton
@thethirdobject @iHUNTcriminals I would say its a no brainer if you mainly use a laptop with a trackpad. its feels like the de is setup for laptops and has great gesture support. the desktop experience is also good though once you install a handful of extensions and configure the keyboard shortcuts
@Rooty even 3 - 5% is not worth it for a lot of devs for the amount of time it would take. you must also consider every update also needing the same care taken to it. financially small devs don't have the resources and big devs know it would eat into their profits
@Rooty @Uluganda you mean apart from the extra work it takes for devs to give support to the platform, a platform where they will get less than 1% of sales.
saying "theres no excuse" is just delusional
@phx @merthyr1831 no lenovo has the worst name conventions and worse names for the same laptop is different in different regions. my laptop here in Europe is: Lenovo yoga slim 7 pro x not to be confused with the yoga 7 pro or yoga slim 7. in north america they drop the yoga branding it's just lenovo slim 7 pro x
I imagine this means getting replacement parts is a nightmare
@nottheengineer what do you suggest? problem is I'm limited since my home server is a raspberry pi so I'm limited to distros that support arm
I should probably give Debian a try, but I never had a good experience with Debian desktop.
@nottheengineer well thanks for letting me know anyway, this probably explains a lot of the docker issues I have been encountering which are "snap only" problems, despite me installing through apt
@nottheengineer is this also the case with Ubuntu server? If so is there a way to turn that shit off,
@deweydecibel @Yoz don't blame the consumers people have busy lives and don't have the time or interest to spend their limited free time learning privacy or avoiding a certain company because of an obscure privacy reason they don't understand.
this is why market pressure is essentially bullshit. If more aggressive action is taken towards these companies instead of just blindly believing in the free market we might actually make an impact.
we have the free time let's use it to hurt them
