Havent tried it but it seems like you can make it work: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?iId=17&sClass=application

I dont think Photoshop and Roblox work on Linux at all (Roblox does through Sober right now but probably not for long). Buying another computer will not change that (and iirc mac os also supports dual boot).

However if you buy/build a good enough pc, you can run windows in a vm and use roblox/ps without dual booting.

If you dont strictly need a laptop, then yes I would recommend you build your own desktop pc. But if you do, AFAIK xps and thinkpad line of laptops have pretty good quality. The higher end surface laptops are also good (but very expensive). I cant really recommend much else without knowing what features you expect.

Yeah now I agree with you. I didnt understand the full impact the first time around.

(thanks for taking your time to actually explain it to all)

I might be in minority here but I kinda see the point the Readium guy is making, specifically this one:

We managed to convince publishers (even big US publishers) to adopt a solution that is flexible for readers and appreciated by public libraries and booksellers

Publishers and companies will always want DRM so at the very least we (as a community) could offer a DRM that is less flawed, more respecting of privacy and FOSS, etc. If we dont, someone else will offer a DRM solution thats far worse (and publishers will implement it because they dont care and there are no consequences).

I feel like its just the first step in completely removing the off option (like how on Windows you cant turn off Defender, only pause it). Am I being too cynical?

Its really a shame Huawei went for a closed source OS on phones (and probably laptops in the future if not now) instead of Linux or another open source OS (they even started with an open source version of their os). I hope this harmony os doesn’t take up in other countries or we would be going backwards.

So the data of the 24 people, who signed for the beta program, were accessible to each other, to all the 24 people? Sounds like nothing burger to me. The odds of someone in the 24 people knowing about this issue beforehand I would say are pretty low.

online-fix is the site so online-fix game I imagine is a game downloaded from that site

Basically I think the question is how to run non-steam games on linux/using lutris.

a site to sail the high seas iirc

You can use ADB to disable them

Lol good luck but I wouldn’t recommend it as your daily os. Qubes is for those who have got a nation state on their back or something like that. For most people, default fedora is more than enough.

(see https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/qubes-overview/ and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop/)

Probably Qubes OS

Not Sunshine but I personally use Ark. PeaZip has a lot more features (its like WinRAR but FOSS) but I don’t need them and so I use Ark which is more focused. I still keep PeaZip around in case I ever need it.

Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.

I personally don’t care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.

One way is to donate to devs who are working on some specific features in the Linux kernel. The two I remember are Hector Martin who lead the Asahi Linux project and Kent Overstreet who is the main dev behind bcachefs, a new CoW FS.

But I guess this only works if there is some dev already working on a feature and is accepting donations. I wish we had community linux project or something similar which was funded by donations and hired kernel devs to work on things the community voted on.

I thought Bezos was sold on space habitats (O’Neill Cylinders and the like). I remember he criticized Musk for his Mars ambitions.

I wonder when Ubuntu will make the shift. They are the only ones left on AppArmor at this point (tbf they have been maintaining it alone anyways).
