I have a machine with specs like those where I installed Haiku.

I don’t daily drive it, but it’s fun to use and it’s quite snappy.

I use Flatpaks for a lot of stuff (Steam, Firefox, and some other stuff that I feel should not have access to my tax returns in the Documents directory). It’s not just for beginners, Flatpaks are useful for other reasons.

Good advices.

A bit of research goes a long way. If you get a solid understanding of the basics, you can then build on it.

Don’t feel bad, I’ve used Linux since 1995 and don’t have enough skills to use Bottles.

I do however game a lot, using mainly Steam and Heroic. You can try to start there.

You are right, it is not the case. She comes across as a very focused and motivated person that sets goals and achieves them, benefiting the community in the process. I wish I was like that. 😅

I just expressed my own feelings towards people that don’t recognize all the free hard work that developers like her have given them, and blame all the community for not supporting the piece of hardware that the vendor saw fit not to support.

This is the kind of selfless, talented, focused person that I am thankful for when I look at the FOSS ecosystem and how far it has come.

An it really deeply annoys me when these talented persons, who’ve spent countless hours reverse engineering crap, undocumented, proprietary technologies that the original vendor didn’t care enough for its’ users to document or open source, get blasted online by entitled brats that say “Linux sux, my AAA game don’t work!”.

My thank you to all of them that made all the great tools that I use and love today.

That’s my point.

Unlimited human stupidity fueled by unending greed.

Why do you have to have this xor that? Why can’t I like both? I’m sure both have use cases where they work best.

Drop the hate already.

Why fear artificial intelligence when natural stupidity is so much more powerful?

I’ve always been fascinated by the lengths puritans will go to prevent kids from seeing mammary glands, while simultaneously being ok with them watching blood and violence.

We do what we must because we can.

It’s always been like that - panem et circenses.

I feel you, protests in my country are not as effective as french or spanish protests, and usually devolve into large picnics instead.

Because you can’t protest in an empty stomach. On the other hand, now we’re too full to protest. Let’s go home, Benfica is playing today.

Look, you are the county that came up with hooligan concept. Do try to apply it locally. I’ve seen the french act harsher for pettier reasons.

Well, they are not, and they will keep trying for as long as it takes.

So stop whining and let them know it’s not fine.

I’ve probably seen this shit more times than you have, but I’m still doing my part.

I’ll take code with swear words over closed code with corporate babble anytime.
