Figma balls

You don't know my customer, she goes to another school.

I guess they don't say it like I did, but there are about 8 references to Fedora on their site, they're clearly based on Fedora.

The whole point is that Bazzite is the Red Hat-based gaming distro. If Bazzite used another distro, it would really be something else entirely and likely be somewhat duplicated effort.

What I don't get is why they can't do their own packaging of 32 bit libraries? I assume that what Bazzite devs do is mainly packaging, so why not also package this thing that your distro needs to work?

"... allowing access to multiple game stores unlike Valve's Steam Deck."

What kind of bullshit is this? The Steam Deck doesn't disallow or block other game stores. Most other game stores don't have native Linux versions like Steam, so you have to use proton to get them working. This framing of Valve lock-in is disingenuous.

I spend more time reading anti-Firefox stuff on this site than I do griping about Firefox or dealing with issues in it.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm for fuck's sake.

Haha a litle bit more confusing :) Sounds like the Linux kernel is a behind the scenes kernel for Android :p I think we mostly agree, Linux is the kernel, the rest of the environment is something else and these things can be mixed and matched in some ways. Android could switch from a Linux kernel to BSD just like you can have GNU/BSD on the desktop if you want. There's currently a project to run GNU/Linux on phones and we recognize it as different than Android because of the environment in which software runs on both platforms.

I don't know what you mean by host, but I think you just explained my point about how both Android and GNU/Linux use the Linux kernel, but are different operating systems because of the rest of the environment.

One of the reasons it upsets Stallman is that it leads to this kind of confusion and ambiguity. Android runs Linux just like my desktop does. The difference between Android and GNU/Linux is the rest of the environment around the kernel. I agree that we typically shorten GNU/Linux to just Linux when we're talking about desktop operating systems, but when the topic is broadened to talk about non-desktop OSes, it doesn't make sense to say that Android uses the Linux kernel but not the Linux operating system.

I hate to be that guy, but Linux is not an operating unto itself. What you're referring to is GNU/Linux.

He thinks about it a lot because he's all looking for ways to enshittify it more. I remember before there were popup ads you had to click through to use it and constantly trying to sell the ability to post special small images. I also remember when blizzard enshittified my favorite game with skins for sale that legitimately give the purchaser an advantage over other players. The sad part is they still didn't make much money and pulled support from the game.

Why do the police get a pass on this? They have entire fucking laptops on while driving!

Read the writing on the wall: This is Microsoft's world and you're just living in it. They're going to keep doing doing stuff like this because they bought the website, they own it now. They're always going to do what Microsoft wants.

I was sad when Github sold to Microsoft and even sadder when it seemed like the Free software community didn't care. I stopped hosting my own small projects on it. I really wish there were better alternatives too.

Finally! I've always thought that error messages from failed application updates were too helpful.
