But the future is inevitable, isn’t it better to be less pessimistic and attempt to be prepared for it instead of just waiting?

Although shaming newcomers for their distro choice is not a welcoming move 💢
😢
I don’t believe it either, I think they said it wouldn’t arrive before 2025 :/
But I want it soooo much, the OLED version looks awesome but it’s no an upgrade big enough to justify getting rid of my original version
Could it mean Steam Deck 2 already? 🤞
Although it depends of the backup format :
Didn’t GNOME support Wayland way earlier than KDE ?
That’s what saved me too but I’m still stuck with unpredictable crashes, 150GB of HDD / 8GB of RAM lost in the void and bullremoved ads for copilot in the lock screen …
Thanks for the background, as a very recent nix adopter this drama seems like a lot 😥
But on Linux aren’t most drivers part of the kernel?
Yeah, people who built those modern technologies are mostly over 50, I suppose.
On a lighter note, the protocol might be proprietary but the bridge still seems to be fully open source : https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge
I don’t think think Proton shows bad will on this one. The only alternative I can think of (as a non expert) would be IMAP + GPG encrypted emails but very few desktop clients support GPG, which would make them less accessible 🤷♂️ Having their own protocol also probably makes it much much easier for them to iterate on it, opening up usually makes think much robust but also slower.
I think that’s one thing about open source project : a lot of people work for free so they invest time on what they want and like. I don’t know if it’s what happens here, but I think in general it is not fair to ask for an optimal time management in open source communities.
It’s a stay-in-the-competition one. While I would love to see a ground breaking change soon, Mozilla surely can’t do that in every update.
Yeah, I don’t understand how you could make installing vim simpler than pacman -S vim
? Is it about “-S” being less obvious than “install”?
So next LTS might have to be resilient to the 2038 bug (32 bit signed timestamps overflow). I wonder how many softwares are vulnerable 🤔
Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.
I suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍
But isn’t that still on par with xorg where you can’t have any fractional scaling?
I think it was world of warcraft. As a kid I had a very bad computer, so windows (Vista I think ?) Gave me something like 15 fps while Linux+Wine gave me 20. It already felt like wizardry that I had better performance while needing a compatibility layer.
I have also some memories of discovering a new land of freedom. When i plugged a CD from the library, Ubuntu’s default music player had a popup “wanna install anti-DRM plugins & make a copy of those tracks?”
Maybe with zRAM and a bit of swap it could run quite ok 🤷
