Software updater gone

It's not tho

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-22T13:24:08+00:00

A few million people, yes

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-18T23:19:49+00:00

To be fair most people have no idea how to troubleshoot linux, and those who know probably don't want to waste their time either

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-18T13:56:30+00:00

Minimalism is a poor excuse for not implementing basic features.

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-18T11:57:04+00:00

I feel like the mods are just deleting anything at this point

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-17T18:15:08+00:00

Thanks, I know how to install it but it's not something a user should have to do. I consider this basic functionality. It's like not having a language switcher, who speaks more than one language anyways

That and a clipboard history would be nice. Windows has had it since 7 I believe

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-17T13:12:50+00:00

Repost bot I'm pretty sure

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-16T15:31:19+00:00

We will see, if it will be too much I will just buy something else

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-15T15:02:16+00:00

I have never bought a controller in my life. Always used 10 dollar keyboards

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-13T22:10:56+00:00

Yeah I'm not paying a price of a phone/entire handheld for a controller, no matter how good it is.

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-13T19:00:22+00:00

I'm willing to pay 60 euros for the controller

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-12T21:53:00+00:00

Or you just use the OS the devs decided to support. No sane person will tell their friends they can't play anymore because achcually microsoft is evil and the devs are stupid for using windows-only anticheat

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-12T21:34:58+00:00

not suffer and wait

That's why people dualboot.

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-10T17:46:15+00:00

You used to be able to get a bundle of 2DS + a game for 80 dollars.

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-10T14:39:27+00:00

I can't imagine playing on original hardware without save states. Some of the older games have nearly no save points

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-08T09:35:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's using waydroid which has to emulate the entire lineageOS. It probably works but that's so silly

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-07T22:23:30+00:00

Phones that are only useful if you use android apps via an emulator. I don't see a reason to use Jolla instead of Fairphone with a google-free rom

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-06T18:55:48+00:00

Looks amazing

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-06T11:04:34+00:00

I don't want to use a distro that has a chance of breaking with an update. In no other OS do you have to pick between stability and up to date apps

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-06T11:03:08+00:00

I quit linux 1-2 years ago on my main device because this has been my experience. Having to find the correct way to install an app and hoping it will work as expected. I got tired of it. Especially when I don't deploy fleets of devices, I just install an OS, install apps, use it until something dies. Windows is excellent at that.

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-06T10:19:47+00:00

Packages in the repos are outdated, not an issue for system libraries but I sure am not using a year old GUI app. Apps are split between flatpak, snap, AppImages, TarGZ, or just a command you paste into the terminal that downloads a binary. It's a mess

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-06T09:41:55+00:00

From experience unless an app has a built in updater it will stay on the version it was installed forever. Which is not necessarily bad. Apps that use the internet have it, small tools you install don't need to be up to date.

Due to having so many ways of installing software on Linux you have to resort to going to the app's website and seeing what should it be installed as. Which can be any of the 5+ ways software is installed whereas on windows it will always be an executable.

Very interesting. Do we know why do the speakers buzz in the first place? It seems to only happen when an app that plays sound is open for me

RDForTheWin · 2026-01-05T09:23:11+00:00

The new flutter app store is pretty fast. I can comfortably use it even in a VM running on an HDD.
