I mean yeah. I mean wtf.
I mean, if I install something compiling from source, I would not expect anyone else to manage it, right? I mean why would anyone expect that flatpak snap etc. all get managed automatically, they even forget how they installed something, it is so ridiculous.
Well I did, but the community in Lemmy is suffocatingly left leaning for me. So I had to go back to Reddit for fresh air. (Never have I thought I’d go back to Reddit because some other community is even more left, but here we are.)
Oh my bad then I read wrong in my sleep 🫣
I have not heard of it yet. Sounded intriguing. But a quick search of “eFootball” took me to a mobile game, with in-app purchases - not looking good and I am staying the fuck away. If they really don’t have mtx then they are doing something very wrong.
Search for “how to install Firefox in Arch”. Snapstore page which asks you to first install snap from AUR, and then install Firefox through Snap is the second entry, I kid you not!
And they have same pages for Fedora erc.
This predatory behavior is to try and get any potential new Linux users to use their crapstore instead of their distro’s package is disgusting and malicious.
It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest.
I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness.
My goodness that’s awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?
Judging by the number of downvotes my question received, looks like most people here prefer censorship over expressing ideas.
What exactly is wrong with free speech?
You can instead, for instance, get a Dell latitude with 32GB i7, for less than $1000. It comes preinstalled with an inferior “OS” (rather sales, telemetry and data harvesting avenue), Windows 11 Pro. But it begs to be wiped and installed Fedora or Arch or some other useful OS, which is easily done.
There are people.
I don’t quite believe it, but secretly hope that the metric is correct and it’s indeed accelerating.
Linux desktop has been ahead of its competitors, both Mac and Windows, for a while now. While Windows keeps getting worse and worse.
And now all games run on Linux desktop too (except Destiny).
May be people are slowly realizing and catching on?
Destiny did this. I have no idea why people love that game, btw. The guns and the environment are well designed, and the story (if you call it that) teases of science fiction. But that’s all the positives about it.
The secrets are so bad that you need to follow a Youtube guide and would probably never discover them in a lifetime. The raids are a huge chore of completely arbitrary series of mechanics that are never explained. You grind for weapons and they get nerfed. You keep doing the same missions again and again and again. Your trophies that you firmed for in year can just go away without notice. The damned thing does not even run on Linux. The list of ways it is unfun goes on.
Never knew there is a script to hook. It works flawlessly since the beginning for me with Arch.
This is the kind of things I like to hear!
I hate GUI for every little thing. Config files are so much more flexible, shareable, and use friendly because you can edit them with anything and can have much more control.
I’m not sure why you say that. I’ve been using Arch to play triple A games (Control, Diablo 4, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, etc.) with NVidia GPU even (which is known to have proprietary driver and not as tweakable). Never had a single glitch, everything runs like native.
Yeah, you’re right. Might as well go with AMD. NVidia works but isn’t needed. I think NVidia generally has low power draw though, so just check to make sure.
Or it is just idiotic.
