I used to think like you but have been using endeavouros for the last 2 years or so and never felt like I an lacking stability.

Raspberry pies are more powerful than you give them credit here. Nothing wrong with using systemd on them

Yup, my android tablet is the only device I own (unless you count my smart tv) where I don’t use Firefox. At least there’s kiwi so you can have a tablet interface and still be able to install addons

Huh? I only know copyleft, what are those?

Looking at RPCS3, it seems like most PS3 games wouldn’t run well on PS5 without dedicated, PS3-like hardware.

I have never ever managed to scratch a disc to the point where it became unusable. Neither have I ever had problems when buying used discs. I agree about the speed though; at this point my internet speed surpasses the speed with which games are installed from a disc

Mir nichts, dir nichts

A few web services such as YouTube use VP9. It was developed by google to have a royalty-free alternative to HEVC.

What makes you say that? Last time I checked (about a year ago), yuzu and ryujinx were way more performant and fewer bugs in the emulated titles compared to Xenia (Canary). Have there been such big improvements to Xenia since?

Oh yeah their efforts are definitely a huge net benefit for the Linux community, I just don’t like seeing big companies portrayed in a better light than they deserve. When it comes down to it, what valve really cares about is still their bottom line.

Playing at 4k+ resolutions, the difference between a well implemented quality DLSS and native ranges from barely distinguishable to objectively better because DLSS is also great anti aliasing. And even if you really need native resolution, DLAA is almost always better than any other anti aliasing method. Before DLSS 2 came out you might have had a point, but now I simply disagree with your statement.

Proton is based on wine, which is copyleft so valve didn’t exactly have a choice in keeping it open source. I also don’t necessarily think that their goal was to reach the rather small existing user base of Linux users, but rather they wanted to make sure they aren’t at the will of a bigger company (Microsoft) whose product is/was required to run most of what valve makes money with.

You know people can harass women or be dicks to their coworkers/subordinates and not be transphobic, right? Also, as of 2022, about 65 people work at Linus tech tips. Saying “Everyone was cool with it and endorsed it” is a bit of a broad statement to make.

I last used a chromium based browser more than 5 years ago. Recently I bought myself a tablet and had to make the difficult decision to switch to the kiwi browser there just because Mozilla can’t be bothered to include tabs for their tablet layout.

How is it biased to point out whether you can disable telemetry and how simple it is to do so?

I wasn’t the one writing the comment.

I totally agree with what you’re saying. Also, I think UpperCamelCase is called Pascal case.

They were talking about the reviews featured in the article. Did you read it?

I’m typing this from an unrooted xiaomi phone with lineage for microg where I can use banking apps. The only downside is having to connect to a computer every time I install an update.

There weren’t any legal threats by Nintendo over dolphin. Valve approached Nintendo asking “are you cool if we distribute a GameCube & Wii emulator on our platform?” And unsurprisingly, Nintendo said no.
