Those topics are simple and easy to understand.

Understanding the long arc of the oppression of the labor class and the systemic design failures of US Healthcare is hard and the explanation won’t fit in a TikTok.

I don’t believe it until they AT LEAST septuple down

I’m not compiling officer, I’m interpreting and no I won’t step out of the terminal.

*sounds of kill -9 can be heard*

For when you want to livestream your failures directly to the terminal

But may, just maybe, don’t assume everyone is a fucking moron or has no idea.

Well, OP didn’t say they used Arch, btw so it’s safe to assume.

(I hate that this needs a /s)

Stop it, you’re going to get invited to the new secret island

Now, for music do mpd and control it ncmpcpp

Anyone can control their music streaming on their phone with an app, only the true Linux users (Arch users, btw) can control their music streaming via ssh.

The only time I use heredocs is when I accidentally use heredocs and have a bit of a flail around before hitting ctrl+c

It didn’t, but EAC added Linux support a while ago… so any game dev can choose enable Linux support (and most do in my experience). I play many EAC games on Arch(, btw) with an NVIDIA card, HDMI 2.1, HDR works, etc. I have a working VR (Index) setup, a gaming mouse with better customization software (imo) than Windows, etc.

Most of these things had various minor issues even a year ago and now the only thing I can think that is non-standard/requires tinkering is that I’m using beta drivers to have Vulkan support on NVIDIA. This provides a good HDR implementation. Once the Vulkan support is released in the official driver then a user could get all of the same features without ever needing to do anything but update their system and install Steam.

Progress in the Linux gaming space advances every week. Things are approaching perfect, outside of structural issues (such as kernel anticheat). I have 213 games in my Steam library and the only game that I cannot play is Apex: Legends.

Apex runs just fine, but EAC is configured to kick Linux clients if you try to connect to a match. This isn’t a Linux issue that can be patched, this is a developer choosing to not allow Linux.

If you haven’t tried gaming on Linux in a while, you should give it a shot. I’ve long since ditched Windows in order to have more free space.

The siren call of enshittification-driven short-term profits was too strong.

Steam? We had Wine launch scripts AND WE LOVED IT.

If our DXVK and Mesa versions were not compatible we just kernel panicked like a real OS. Kids these days with their GE-Proton and NTSYNC don’t know how good they have it.

Kernel synchronization primitives? ABSOLUTELY NOT, we’ll use file mutexes in userspace like Linus intended.

If they didn’t want to be looked down upon then they wouldn’t be using inferiour software.

Space Marine 2 works just fine on Linux, I was just playing it last weekend. It has a gold rating on Protondb.

Kernel anticheat games can die in a fire, with all due respect to them.

I’ll worry about them when I get through my backlog of games which grows faster than my completed game list.

The progress in the last 2 years has been nothing short of amazing.

The KDE team, Wine, Proton, TKG/GE/etc have worked miracles for the Linux community.

Also, shout out to Microsoft for spectacularly face planting in their move to Windows 11/CoPilot/Vibe coded OS development. Nobody deserves more credit for Linux’s growth than Microsoft’s complete failure to innovate as an operating system developer.

Ah, a Rust heretic
