YSK flatpaks break iso27002 and score low on SLSA.
It’s not on Flathub, because of Ai generated code and other assists maybe? https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#generative-ai-policy
I mean, I guess it’s good to have more thigns, but isn’t this kinda playing in to the “You will own nothing and be happy” BS?
With Hardware getting more expensive Geforce Now is useful. Also being able to game modern games on an ipad or notebook
Come on…
Big lobby makes personal GPU ultra expensive to buy.
Sells you the concept of renting a big GPU in their datacenters instead… And your like “sweet deal” ?
Not what I said ^^
But I am also getting games through Steam so I dont own my games either…its just they way the world is if you got a few thousand bucks over to buy me a gaming pc I gladly get rid of Geforce Now xD
So I just meant the way the world is I can actually play games with gfn and it becoming better (supporting linux) is a good thing
In principle I agree (I mean, see the “Socialist” up there) but Linux isn’t the thing that will enforce ownership of anything. See Android.
It could be, but it’s now in the hands of the same evil corporations that made some guys start GNU and shit.
Android’s bs has nothing to do with it using linux.
I agree, I meant being Linux didn’t stop the enshittification of Andriod.
Except that it’s not “linux” like an actual open source linux distro is. There is no parallel here.
Also, a negative example shouldn’t make you go “oh I guess there’s no hope then, let’s embrace the death of ownership”.
Android IS an open source Linux distro.
It’s all the software that’s added to Android that’s proprietary. Binary blobs for Qualcomm chips, Google Play services, etc.
It’s not. It uses a linux kernel but the architecture is completely different.
It’s the kernel. For starters, Linux is a kernel. I don’t understand your point, the people running the Linux ecosystem (the corpos injecting money in the infrastructure and participating in the governance through the Linux Foundation) don’t care about user ownership. NVIDIA is a bad collaborator but it’s still allowed to do the shit they do. As other nonfree contributors on drivers.
But let’s suppose an open and universal implementation standard of ARM and modem drivers was enforced? We’d have hundreds of viable Linux phones already. The battle wouldn’t be pretty but the alternative would be the current shitty state of affairs.
It could be, but it’s now in the hands of the same evil corporations that made some guys start GNU and shit.
GNU was started because of a broken printer. Jokes aside, RMS got upset that the company that manufactured the printer could not give the source code for him to modify it to make the printer better. That is when he founded the gnu project and the fsf.
Thankfully GNU isn’t just the questionable ramblings of a libertard neckbeard
I’m afraid that the freedom of “mainstream” Linux will slowly fade away. SteamOS whilst praised by many is basically a proprietary binary blop OS. Without Steam no one would give a shit about SteamOS. What makes Linux great isn’t the same as what makes SteamOS “great”.
This is a concern I have as well. Normies are getting into Linux, or should I say GNU/Linux, without understanding the core concepts of Software Freedom. I feel Linux is has been ready a long time ago, but now Linux is more compatible with nonfree software. That is not really a positive thing. But atleast we are making a FLOSS OS more mainstream.
It’s fine. Soon nobody will be able to afford a pc that Linux can even run on.
All the majority knows is that they are escaping Microsoft. Even if Valve releases proprietary binary crap in the next cycle they’ll still be happy to install it.
First Epic Games Launcher, and now this. If this isn’t the year of the Linux desktop, then I don’t know which one is. Next, all the adobe and Microsoft garbage 😄
If adobe and office get official support that could result in a big shift. Half the people I’ve talked to that won’t move cite those apps as reasons. Solid CAD support would be huge as well I think.
The AI stuff in Adobe has been insufferable
I’ll believe it. I do not use any of their apps, but every single time AI has been added to an app, it’s been worse. That’s not even an exaggerating, every single time it’s been worse in my experience.
However, for some people it’s adobe or bust, and I can empathize with not wanting to start over with a new app, especially if you’re particularly skilled with it already.
They even have AI on the freaking Acrobat Reader
Cool, but I’ll stick with Sunshine and Moonlight.
They work so flawlessly
Next year MS office get official support for Linux 🐕
You can already get Edge iirc
But what about their GPU drivers…
That’s why the app uses X11…
NVIDIA drivers are a complete joke on Linux. If they don’t get it together, I might have to switch to AMD sooner than later.
Edit: Thankfully we have things like vkBasalt and MangoHud that serve as decent replacements for the control panel options on Windows, and I can still use smooth motion.
Oh no, what will they do without us consumers! It’s not like they have another massive industry that’s buying literally almost all of their chips. Oh wait…
