Those same academics aren’t the kinds of people that do well in a hostile environment. All it takes is some coordinated brow-beating and they will cave every time.

Every rich person is a piece of trash and deserves to be taken out.

I’m glad I’ve learned to ignore people like you.

Man, it’s sad how effective peer pressure on the internet is.

It’s another reason why I don’t take most people on it seriously.

I’ve been using Manjaro for years without issue.

It is the best distro for my needs.

People say you should buy hardware that explicitly supports Linux, but I disagree. See if it works. If it doesn’t, then return it.

I’ve never had an issue with Linux compatibility on a laptop, and I use gaming laptops.

“Targeting proton” is another reason why I don’t take the development community at large seriously.

It’s full of dipshits all regurgitating each other’s stupidity.

For a developer, it is costly to maintain a separate build for Linux without the consumer base to justify the effort.

Only if you’re a bad developer or using bad tools!

I encourage everyone who thinks “it’s too difficult or costly” to see for themselves before believing the people taking them for a ride!

Would be pretty funny if Valve demanded that, but I don’t see it happening.

It’s really up to users and developers to grow some balls and stop suckling the corporate teat.

Closed source pile of trash.

Pirating games can be kind of a hassle on Linux. You need to install a lot of them in a Windows VM which will take up a lot of additional storage during the installation process. Once it’s installed, you can delete the extra copies. Getting the games to work can be a challenge, too. Be prepared to fiddle with a lot of stuff like Lutris and changing settings just to see what works.

Holy shit that image is so fucking based. I’m glad I’m not the only one who realizes how stupid consumerist rhetoric is.

Everyone who thinks art won’t get made or engineering won’t get done without copyright and patent laws has never paid attention to history.

This is another step towards having a digital ID that is required to use computers at all.

Nobody in the government and few people in tech are smart enough to make this distinction.

Kinda sad how the world is run by idiots.

I don’t have the patience to argue with you, but you are wrong.

How can anyone get excited over GPUs in 2026?

Like, what are you looking forward to at this point? Just enjoy what you have…

I recommend using Manjaro instead.

I have been paying more than $6000 out of pocket every month in order to cover the difference which is not sustainable.

What the fuck? This sounds like a load of bullshit, or he has no idea what he’s doing.

Plan 9 challenge

Your complaint is about display server, not distro.
