  • Many of those “Steam Deck killers” market themselves that they use Windows to have better game compatibility though, average casual users don’t notice the different on Windows and on Linux. Also it seems like currently only Valve is the only one being interested on Linux gaming and taking serious, if any measure to improve Linux gaming. Even GOG with their anti-DRM stance (which may align more to Linux users) and Epic Game Store with their anti-monopoly stance (which also align with many Linux users too) haven’t done anything to improve Linux gaming or even port their store/launcher to Linux, and many manufacturers and machines don’t support Linux adequately or maybe even not at all (especially gaming machines). So it wouldn’t be so surprising though






  • It seems like what I’ve read from GPLv2 and GPLv3 as well as RH’s EULAs, contrary to some people here, Red Hat technically didn’t violate the GPL, but they are already not following the spirits of GPL and free software/open source (People expect free/open source software as in they can easily find the source publicly accessible in GitHub, GitLab, CodeBerg, or whatever Git, Subversion,… repos of your company or organization). And I think they don’t believe in free marketing either, many other companies are aware that people are pirating their softwares, or compiling the software themselves (if it’s open source) and give them as if it’s from them for free; especially when you’re dominating a market segment, it can make people exposed and relying on your softwares, so that anyone will mandate to use your softwares because it’s “industry standards”.


  • Lemmy seems somewhat confusing to those who rarely or never used Fediverse (myself also rarely use Mastodon tho), but after I short while I get the hang of it tho. My instance is at lemmy.world, Its UI after a time trying is quite unstable; for example, a post’s karma is fluctuating at time, sometimes from over 1k drop down to negative, and upvotes aren’t recognized until you reload the page, the amount of time to post of login can be very long,…
