Not sure what proxmox has to do with this? All this is doing is allowing VMware workstation to run without out of tree modules, it means nothing for anyone else

Wut? Game is f2p?

I’ve heard that too but CSGO is a source 2 game and while I don’t play it I do play dota which runs amazing native and valve seems to think it’s good enough as the steam deck config has it run native as opposed to another valve game like HL Alyx which valve has configured to run under proton

Did he actually use proton to run a native game… that’s just silly

According to the article they did allow it. They got rid of that clause in a license update, just didn’t allow you to modify your fork lol

…that’s…a good question 🤔

If you can’t change your default shell that’s not really a lesson you should have to learn. You should be able to set your own default shell and this is coming from someone who’s shell preference is bash.

The pedant in me dictates I must say you probably mean UEFI and not BIOS

Maybe it’s just been good luck, or maybe I pay enough attention to what apt is going to do and know how to deal with it but I’ve been daily driving sid for years and am convinced it’s more stable than arch based on friends I have that run arch…maybe it’s just I’m more experienced but it really doesn’t break that much. Obviously ymmv.

How are fedora or SUSE valid alternatives “from the same repos”? They’re not even based on Debian or Debian repos?

Linux remaps 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 when you attempt to use it as an address…does the same thing for :: remapping it to ::1

The decision not to support GPLv3 makes sense and I understand Linus’ perspective on that. GPLv3 branched out into something beyond traditional copy left by ensuring that users can run the modified code by restricting hardware design. That’s a separate thing. I disagree with the decision to go with a permissive license in most cases including this one. Permissive licensing leads to the problems the BSDs have with companies like Sony taking the code and running with it without giving back and it’s why I prefer strong copy left licenses like GPLv2 or v3.

One other thing, yes it was rough in the past but now due to the massive market penetration Linux has we have a large swath of GPLv2 drivers making it far less of a relevant issue.

Eh? I daily drive only FOSS software with basically no problems, the only exception I make is for firmware and JS, firmware because it’s realistically not a choice and JS because it’s extremely sandboxed and I use librewolf with container tabs to isolate cookies etc cross sites, even drivers are not exempt from this rule. FOSS specifically being programs under a GNU approved free software license or software found in the Debian main repos and therefore complying with the DFSG. It’s, surprisingly easy. In fact when I made the decision to do this it was primarily because I needed so little proprietary software that it just wasn’t even much of a challenge?? I guess my main point in saying this is I don’t get where you’re coming from, I’d love a Linux phone but it’s not realistic there, but on the desktop? It’s extremely realistic??

I didn’t know KDE had layer shell 🤔. I knew it had some wlrootsy stuff but that’s interesting. Looks really nice though
