It’s so odd how proprietary software is frowned upon so much in this community, but no one cares when it comes to gaming.
i5 4790K and a… 7900 XTX?
There’s nothing wrong with the software itself. It works great for what it does. On the other hand, it’s a compatibility layer, which always increases friction between things a little. I think the best use for this is running legacy software.
There aren’t many alternatives. Maybe in the future, we’ll see graphics API abstraction libraries like wgpu get used more. This gives developers a single API which can use DirectX on Windows, Vulkan on Linux, or Metal on macOS. This could allow support for entirely new graphics APIs without developers using it having to do anything.
Of course, that’s my opinion. People can build their software how they like.
Until you actually try to use Vulkan on macOS. Since there’s no native support, you end up needing MoltenVK.
Have an update that completely breaks everything on your system? Just revert to the previous image and it’s no problem.
These immutable distros have so much potential. Especially for the tech illiterate. I really encourage anyone who hasn’t yet to give them a shot.
Of course they aren’t for everybody, as it makes it far harder to make system-level changes on the local system.
It’s likely many users still use Automator (which is from 2005). Removing it could break workflows for many people if removed. There’s a bunch of older apps in macOS like this. The latest version of macOS still has AirPort Utility, for example.
This is common with these Linux on Android-based phones. I believe Ubuntu Touch requires you to downgrade to Android 9 in most cases.
Great. Time to update Nginx on my vacuum.
This is my complaint as well. KDE certainly has advantages and neat design ideas, but I always come across some major bugs that make my device unusable.
Definitely not saying GNOME doesn’t have bugs as well though.
Rust is a memory-safe language. So in this case, it could result in more stable software.
Not only that, you asked for their opinions.
I’m pretty sure 95% of people don’t even know what Windows is. It’s just part of the computer to them.
