The new indirect GPU driver is AMAZING. I’ve previously suffered through getting GPU passthrough on one of my systems before, but I no longer need to because Linux flawlessly plays every game that I could ever want.

But I never liked that the VMs that I used for more general purpose stuff had choppy display performance. The indirect GPU driver sounds like it’s as easy as installing the driver in the VM and you’ll get much smoother graphical performance without the headache of configuring GPU pass through, which is awesome! I’d love to see that functionality baked in to stuff like Virt Manager and GNOME Boxes.

Absolutely, and that’s the problem. Studios optimize for low-risk because art is just an investment vehicle for them, which is directly at-odds with what art actually should be: creative expression.

Come and get your recycled franchise, nostalgia-bait slop! We can’t be fucked to pay any creative talent to write stories about anything new or interesting, so here are some of your favorite characters’ zombies that we acquired being dangled in front of you.

I’m about y’all, but I’m really looking forward to Barbie 9 and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

Yeah. This is useless.

Firefox’s version of MV3 explicitly supports the things that uBlock Origin needs to do. It’s not the same as Google’s malicious MV3 that was targeted at destroying adblockers.

It would be annoying if they removed MV2, but it wouldn’t break things like it did for Chromium.

I’d be happy if they did and adopted Heroic as an official launcher. However, if that happens, I’d still want proper controller support to be added so that browsing the GOG store in Heroic doesn’t require mouse and keyboard bindings on something like a Steam Deck.

Because I use a Steam Deck and having a launcher for third-party stores is the easiest way to install games.

Additionally, the reasons mentioned in the other comments.

Anything but properly supporting the Linux community 🤡

How have they still not learned that the largest intersection of the people that care about their core value proposition (game preservation, DRM-free, etc.) are Linux users?? It’s not like they have to create the compatibility layers from scratch; Valve did it for them.

If they provided a launcher for Linux users, I’d actually buy shit from them. Yes, Heroic Launcher exists, but I’m not paying GOG for the work that the Heroic dev did. I want first-party support.

You can just write bash scripts in your actions if you want them to be easily replicatable on your local machine, so you don’t really lose anything with that system.

Can someone explain why, and what to use them for?

HelixWiki when 😭

Unfortunately, from trying this myself, I don’t think you can forward port 53 to the Android host, so that won’t work (easily). It seems that privileged ports aren’t allowed to be forwarded.

3 absolutely did. But that said, not all of the original tracks made it into the 1+2 remake, so I wouldn’t base whether or not you buy it on that.

I’m very firmly in the Rust for Linux camp because I am in the “make Linux better” camp, and I don’t see why eventually getting Zig in the kernel would be a problem. If Zig solves problems that C and Rust don’t, by all means, it should be brought in.

However, one of the primary reasons Rust was chosen is that it is memory-safe by default. Zig, on the other hand, has opt-in safety. So unsafe Zig should probably only go in very specific places where C and Rust can’t do the job. And ideally, there would be some rules that require the usage of safe Zig everywhere else.

Ignoring Zig, the language, Zig’s compiler toolchain is hands-down, the best I’ve ever seen, and I think introducing Zig to the kernel by making “Zig-built Linux” a thing, would be a really natural way to get that process going.

I just cant wrap my head around why they’re willing to go so far to gain good will from people by having such a generous free tier, but somehow licensing the code under a FOSS license is out of the question??

Why not just go all the way and make sure everyone who cares about reading the souce could also give you free contributions?

Yes, because private property is theft. But unequal enforcement of copyright law is worse. Right now, LLMs are just lying machines trained on pirated data and the companies that run them are acting with impunity for doing something a normal person would get put in jail for.

Copyright is immoral, but as long as it exists, the laws should be extra strict on companies that steal others’ works.

After reading the lkml, it really does seem like the C dev just being hostile to Rust. The C dev just outright refuses to accept any of the compromises from the Rust dev, and is pretty rude about it.

Idk why, but some of these people need to hear that languages are not a team sport and fighting and being hostile to people about it just makes the Linux kernel worse.

Helix is best editor 😏

journalctl and binary logging are annoying bullshit.
