Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It’s very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.
Useradd is the basic unix one, so that should work regardless of distro. Adduser does some special Debian stuff iirc
None of the big VPN companies officially endorse use if their services for piracy or any illegal activities for that matter.
But to crack down on it they would have to keep logs on your activity and with that most of their legitimate use cases wouldn’t be valid anymore either.
SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/
Xorg is still available in RHEL 9 to my knowledge
They have to comply until 6 March 2024 under the Digital Markets Act, so hopefully we should see sideloading very soon. Fingers crossed
But even with an immutable distro you don’t have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don’t specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.
Fair point. Them not at least using USB 3 across the line up is silly and I don’t really see what they gain from doing it apart from maybe saving a cent in production.
But on the other hand I don’t think it matters either. The vast majority of people probably don’t plug their phone in for anything but charging and the few people that record large video files on their phone will probably get a pro model either.
So yeah USB 2 speeds are silly and I don’t want to defend a trillion dollar company for saving a cent on production but I don’t think it matters either.
It’s Fedora. Moving out the legacy cruft and focusing development on modern technologies is precisely what makes it great imo.
Both iPhone 15 models were good iterative updates in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, sure, but Apple finally adopting both USB-C and AV1 is great to see and the programmable action button on the pro models is a nice addition as well.
Me too. I’m glad to see them adopting wlroots and focusing on porting components like the panel first. This way we can run the DE on compositors like labwc and the Xfce developers don’t need to waste resources on reinventing the wheel by writing a compositor from scratch.
I’d argue it’s implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.
Macs have a big user base, if you like it or not.
Apple supporting Vulkan or not supporting it will not change a thing about that.
Developers support platforms where the users are. Having good support for Vulkan on Macs would make their life easier.
I fail to see how that’s a bad thing. Apple not supporting Vulkan won’t drive the average user to install Linux as they don’t know what it even is.
I would love to see Apple go down the route of actually supporting modern OpenGL and Vulkan on their hardware. The hardware is amazing but forcing software to rely on Metal just holding it back especially when it comes to games.
Exactly. Trying to install the latest version of a bunch of apps on a base like Debian is bound to give you dependency issues if you try to install the native version.
I can only recommend you to look into using Flatpak to install graphical applications. It avoids the whole dependency or permission issues because it ships apps in their own well tested little sandbox. From a end user perspective its somewhat similar to how applications are bundled on macOS.
It works in a sense that it shows you a list of all your media in the app and syncs photos from your phone to the cloud. But it doesn’t make the features from within the photos app (albums, people, places) available in the app. That doesn’t really compare to Apple / Google Photos sadly.
My main issue with Nextcloud is that the photos app still doesn’t have any way to properly sync on mobile sadly :/ Photoprism at least has a PWA but it’s still not ideal. That’s the main thing keeping me on iCloud personally.
I can’t speak for your particular interests, but in my experience there is something for pretty much every niche. That’s what keeps YouTube in their dominant position as well.
