Oh awesome! I looked into rolling my own image to combine Aurora-DX with Bazzite about a month or so ago, but I’ve been really busy since and hadn’t made much of a start. This is really exciting to see, will rebase over on my desktop as soon as NVIDIA gets support.

I think they were maybe speaking to the peer-to-peer “hosting” part of peertube. If not enough people are contributing to bandwidth, then more falls back to the server, increasing the cost to run it.

1. Not a dude, don’t call me that.
2. I haven’t replied to you before now.
3. I never said you were wrong about smartphone usage. You’re acting like it’s a hot take that everyone has a smartphone, as if people that have them can’t/won’t own a PC.
4. Announcing you’re drunk like this is kinda sad friend.
5. If you are, maybe just stop replying in random threads acting like a jerk?

Others have said the same, but why do you believe these things are mutually exclusive? Like yes, everyone has a computer in their pocket, but why does that prevent them from having a desktop, or a laptop, or a tablet? There are 1.75 Billion PC gamers as of 2020, though that includes laptop (and assumedly Steam Deck and associated handheld) users as well. Desktops are still incredibly common and popular computing devices, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Let alone that laptops are incredibly common too. I genuinely don’t know anyone in my circles that doesn’t have a laptop, a desktop, or both.

What are you trying to say with this?

No, they’re still independent with majority of shares owned by their founders.

You seem to have a lot of praise for a distro you’ve (rightfully) called out having several red flags?

Bazzite is a collection of packages and default settings, as is SteamOS. My point is that a cross-platform Gamemode replacement could be used by better already established distros like Bazzite.

I mean, I’m all here for a cross-platform Gamemode replacement, but that could be a package, rather than needing to be a whole distro.

Edit: and I meant to add, I’d love to see someone like Lutris develop it.

What makes it more tailored than Bazzite? That includes Lutris, which you can use to install games from GOG, Itch and Epic Game Store, as well as add them to Steam for Gamemode with just one click.

Counterpoint, back before the internet started becoming full of AI slop, it was easy to find those a solutions by searching.

Linux doesn’t work with my (deprecated) Windows Mixed Reality headset, it’s not VR ready!

A bunch of people were trying to make that argument to explain Hellwig’s disagreement, but it was never the case. His argument amounted to “you can’t make create unified code to reference mine, you must have each driver maintain its own independent calls to my code”.

Here’s the thing though, is Marcan got called out (rightfully) for his shit by Linus, but Linus could have called out Hellwig in the same email. The lack of that, to my reading, felt like implicit support of Hellwig’s position to me, and I can see why Marcan would have felt the same way.

In saying that, it would also be fair for Linus to not “give in to the pressure” of Marcan’s actions on social media and basically given him what he wanted.

That’s a simply amazing pun for a library name. I really enjoy the history of kind of silly naming within linux and programming generally.

I would have figured the whole point of the project is getting to feature parity, right? It makes it a harder sell if you lose a bunch of them when migrating to Linux.

I genuinely believe that if he was still around he’d of ended up a proponent for federated social media. I’m pretty sure he was the driving force behind opening it’s source, and it wasn’t until four years after his death that it was closed off again.

Except you’re wrong about them wanting to put Rust code in the DMA subtree. As per the article linked below by M1ch431:

In a message to the Linux kernel mailing list, Hellwig wrote: “No Rust code in kernel/dma, please.” For what it’s worth, the patch added code to the rust/kernel portion of the Linux source tree, not kernel/dma, as far as we can tell.

All they were doing is adding an abstraction layer, within the already existing Rust code, so that rust drivers could communicate with the C DMA code in a uniform and predictable manner. It would have put far more work on maintainers, both C and Rust alike, to have each and every driver implement its own abstraction to the DMA API. Issues would have been/will be filed against the kernel/dma subtree in error due to issues with these myriad abstraction layers.

Minecraft is also just, fine? If anything needs to die it’s Roblox, and that’s not yucking other’s yum, that’s because it’s genuinely causing a lot of harm as per People Make Games’ investigation.

i disabled auto-capitalisation a decade ago on my phone and that change has persisted ever since, but yeah guess i’m a tryhard. yeesh, being a grammar “nazi” was uncool even back then on reddit, imagine still being hard up about it in 2025.
