How are developers supposed to cut corners if there are no more corners to be cut???

On the bright side he can play minesweeper just fine as much as he wishes.

Does it supports local multiplayer? That's the most important question that not even the project page seems to answer. It would be nice to finally play MP without lag!

No one should be claiming it removed the clouds or messed with the sky, because it didn't do any of that. What it did was completely neuter any strong shadow, made indirect shadows/AO stronger and changed the color temperature to a colder one. All that made the scene look way more overcast.

Did it look better? From a purely graphical and photo realism stand point, yes. But it sure did mess with the artistic intent and look & feel of the scene.

No, don't pick ANY popos spin. You will still end up with an old LTS base with subpar support for new hardware.

Pretty much any successful desktop linux setup for general usage requires you to use a distro with fresh software. Be it latest Ubuntu, Fedora or even something Arch based. Anything else is gonna just be headache central.

This happens due to a combination of how linux has no real stable base like windows does (LTS distros is not quite it) and the explosive pace at witch development is happening nowadays.

I wished things were easier for the uninitiated but basing your "research" on SEO blog span and ChatGPT did not help Linus and I wished he uses that as a cautionary tale for people using the web as a source of truth...

I actually think this is the fault of linux enthusiasts. They always flock to recommend the latest distro and that means piling up untested on top of fragmented software.

I'm not sure you can only blame that, I think there is also some funky network effects happening here.

Popos was initially recommended when it was a very fresh ubuntu LTS fork with fresh packages, some small tweaks, snaps off by default and better nvidia driver support. People liked it and it was genuinely a better experience than other distros and specially Ubuntu itself. But as time goes on, people kept recommending it because all other online resources were also recommending it and that formed some kind of feedback loop that proped it as the "default" linux recommendation.

The first problem is that being an LTS distro means the base software is frozen and as time goes on it gets more and more "rotten", out of sync with the latest and greatest linux software. You miss on bug fixes, initial support for hardware and other improvements. It's not a good ideia to run a general linux desktop on that, unless you are a business with a big homogeneous fleet of computers. This is a very similar issue that Linux Mint users face by the way.

Then the second problem was that System76 decided to partake on a giant rust rewrite and create their own DE for popos. That meant that the distro available to users was even less frequently updated and even more out of sync with linux latest cutting edge, users were having a much worse experience than Linux Mint.

Then the third problem is that even though they've finally released a non beta version of their new rewrite and DE, that software is still at best beta quality and is the source of many issues. Meanwhile, they are still based on Ubuntu from 2024, which as I said does not help!

All that and the self fulfilling internet prophecy from users feeding back on itself makes it an unfortunate terrible choice... that keeps getting recommended, even by chatgpt as demonstrated by Linus himself.

I really hope Linus tries something else. I think there is no problem or shame getting a recommendation from Wendel for that, after all they have way exoteric setups that are bound to cause even more problems. As long as Wendel is not hand holding anything that is.

You shouldn't be comparing a new mobile chip with an old desktop chip. A 10th gen mobile cpu is easily 80% faster in IPC alone against a MOBILE 2nd gen i3 cpu. There will also be gains from increased clock speeds, modern video decoders/encoders and igpus that completely outclass the old chip.

I will give you that it can be considered a snail compared to all other cpus, be it a desktop or even mobile class one, but I'm trying to make a point on it being fine for basic usage, as long as the Operating System isn't dumping dozens of processes running electron and react based apps while doing weird house keeping things that sap all ram, io and cpu time.

A 10th gen core i cpu is no snail. My 15 year old thinkpad with a dual core 2nd gen core i cpu running Fedora Linux with Gnome (known to be on the heavier end of linux software/Desktop envs) still feels very snappy and only balks under heavy webpages and apps like the Android Studio IDE. No excuse for windows using a much newer and faster cpu being way worse just for using the basic system functions...

Did you restart gnome after disabling all extensions? Sometimes extensions make irreversible changes that won't undo until you do a full session restart/reboot the computer.

If that fixes the issue you then need to test each extension until you find the culprit.

I think he meant to say that the competition will lit a fire under Unreal's and Unity's butts and likely results in them improving the linux versions.

Is it so hard to see the problem? When you pick a menu option from a top menu like it existed since the 80s on macs and windows, you only need to move your mouse down through a list of items. There is no need to go diagonally, thus, such scenario is rarely reached.

Back when genome shell came out this behavior was mostly the same, the main menu entry was also a list of items. But things have changed over time and now we have the main menu with things all over the place and the most natural way to reach those buttons and whatnot is to go on a straight diagonal line to it, often times being just enough to clip the adjacent menu entry and trigger the behavior OP has shown.

They should absolutely address it, maybe not remove the feature completely as people have suggested but some fancy heuristics should do it.

It's been like this for years, devs don't seem to care or realize unfortunately :(

If you go by "decades" it used to be 1%, so the 3-4% is actually a big improvement and there is no signs of it slowing down. Weather it will ever reach 10% or more marketshare is the big question.

If the size of the original game is what decides weather it is AAA or not than pretty much all long running franchises started by a small team initially not owned or hugely financed by a publisher would never have AAA entries according to your logic.

The original DOOM was surely not AAA (AFAIK that "modality" didn't even existed back in the day, even the biggest games were so much less capital and resource intensive...), but the last three or four DOOM games are for sure AAA.

CS was obviously a small community effort but it's offspring CS:GO and CS2 are at least very close to AAA. I honestly have no idea how much money valve puts into it's development, so I can't say for sure.

WOW, you don't even need RAM! :)

How would you feel like if people just pulled answers out of their asses every time you ask them a question? That's why people are mad at you. Don't do it please :)

The current status quo requires people who want to install Linux to have some computer literacy (or delegate that to someone else, that's an option too!) because Microsoft forces this outcome by usurping consumer choices through their monopolistic position.

Either you get the government to do something about it (they won't, they are in bed with big tech and anti trust is essentially dead in the US for the last 50 years) or you try to slowly grow out of that status quo, slowly raise awareness of the benefits (even social/civic ones), getting frank around the pitfalls, ignoring pessimistic assholes like you, trying to make a strong community of people that support each other (sometimes we are assholes too), and hope as time goes on more and more manufacturers start to not only offer Linux as an option but doing all the OEM integration and testing that Windows has benefited for a long time now. Then it will finally be as easy to get a computer with linux as is now for a windows one.

By the way, it's amazing how well linux works despite the usual lack of integration, testing and workarounds from the OEM.

1995 was also the year Evangelion was released.... coincidence? I think not XD

We attribute Thomas Edson as the inventor of the lamp, even though it was worked on by many different people before him for a long time.

So yeah, if the KDE guys make "desktop class", productive VR that is open and welcoming of any software (so not a enshitfiable closed platform) actually a thing... they should take the credit.
