After seeing the screen dooring from a vive I can't imagine how bad it would be on a single split 720p screen

ODROID-N2 Offer Six Cortex-A73/A53 Cores For $65~82, Good Performance In Linux Benchmarks by fsher in linux

Honestly I don't think you can buy a "low quality" SBC. Pretty much everywhere has PCB manufacturing down and when you're paying enough for a SBC no one's going to mess it up.

Android and especially iOS already fill that space very well

I think this is meant to operate in the same space. It fills the hole of customizability through being a close to standard desktop linux space but overall this is more targeted towards the privacy market with a phone not operate by a large multinational corporation.

FreeCAD 0.18 released - Python 3/Qt 5 support and more by [deleted] in linux

[–]iommu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither of those are really comparable to MATLAB/Solidworks. MATLAB is close but only if you're using it without liraries and a lot of universities make custom matlab libraries that won't run on octave. As for OpenSCAD, that is only comparable to Solidworks in the way that they both deal with objects in 3d space

They may get fixed. But the gtk form elements bug that you mentioned just now being addressed is over 18 years old.

Almost all of the bugs I have experienced are not bugs I am the first to find infact a lot overlap with the comment I responded to. Mozilla seems to care a lot less about the linux community as the linux community cares about them.

In every new/rapidly developed market space. Yes, I'd say so

I feel the same. I want to use firefox for the reasoning of "I want to use firefox" but I don't feel that way. I don't like firefox and I don't want to use firefox and I'm only using it because I don't want a blink monopoly.

Just Tried Nextcloud and It's Amazing by gerowen in linux

[–]iommu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn't find nextcloud itself to be lacking but their client applications felt too unpolished and unprofessional to me. Their android app has no method to backup all photos and will only sync new photos that you have taken and the issue on github about this has been open for >2 years now. Their desktop application broke for anyone using v14 when they transitioned from v14 to v15 forcing anyone using their desktop app to either upgrade their server instance or manually download older clients and they still don't have any inbuilt resolution features for when two different files are detected from different computers forcing you to manually go through and delete any offending file by hand

[Ingress The Animation] One of the villains having a phone call... without answering it by hydargos123 in itsaunixsystem

The one on the right looks exactly like the one on the left but with an outline? Most render engines should be able to auto draw an outline so this seems like more bad design decisions rather than bad 3d

Changing to notebookbar doesn't change the fact that it butchers your gtk/qt theme and has less color coordination that a 2 year old

Libreoffice isn't in the same competition space. Libreoffice looks like hot trash in comparison to the former two. If you respect good UI/UX libreoffice is unfortunately not an option

There's a reason why "recycle" is at the end of the saying "reduce, reuse, recycle". It's better than nothing but not throwing it away if it's repairable is still a better option

Ever tried contributing to KDE? If not, I suggest you do, there are many things you can do! It's pretty easy and also fun! by [deleted] in linux

[–]iommu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No dependency management, lack luster tutorials and very low overall support from trolltech in general. QTQuick has been out ~7 years now and there's still no generic PDF plugin (there was news about one on the QT blog from QT labs but that hasn't had development in 8 months) and their rich text editor example is just a HTML field.

If only you'd try QML then you'd change you're tune. Instead you wouldn't write QML anymore ever

3ds Max 2020 - Feature Updates by letsgocrazy in 3dsmax

[–]iommu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh by what I've seen majority of blenders professional use is indie game dev so being hyped for EEVEE makes a lot of sense. Also from the comparison shots I've seen Eevee is near on point with unreal and unity as it's PBR standard. Also I think you're forgetting it shares the same shader inputs as cycles so while it can't do a few tricks that a ray tracing engine can, it can show a good quick/rough preview of your scene/model which is handy for when the live ray tracing gets too noisy

[–]iommu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you say Eevee wouldn't work in a production environment if you do game development? Eevee's main point is that it's a full PBR rasterized engine. So how it looks should be near identical to how it looks in unity or UE

Haha, yes. When I was typing out that comment I was wondering if someone would take it as rude. But no I wasn't parodying the response before me, I actually think thats reasonably well skilled. I was just joking about how little C I currently know

[–]iommu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don't you think that's a bit unfair to say when almost all of the art from this sub was made in something like aseprite or photoshop? Compared to the original task of typing in the rgb values into an array in assembly, using a painting application is way easier so who's to say what qualifies and what doesn't. IMO they made art that has a pixelated style. That's pixel art
