Yeah, I was part of those arguments too. In a perfect world Linux would have enough market share to warrant native ports, but Proton getting Wine one-click integrated into Steam and easily targetable is a more realistic bridge to that scenario than holding out on principle. As it is Linux gaming is in the best shape it's ever been in thanks to Proton.
I also think the argument held more weight 20 years ago, before we started packaging up end user apps in giant self-contained images regularly.
This is a non-issue. If you're a gaming company in the era of Proton, it makes more sense to just focus on Windows issues than to open yourself to support requests from people running any brand of Linux. Proton is just so much easier to target than standalone Linux and you can serve the Linux community / Steam Deck users without needing any actual expertise.
This sounds like a great beta canon novel plot.
Any billionaire would take this deal. The hit is in imaginary money (i.e. stock/corporate assets) that won't affect their daily lives and in return they get unspecified favors from the (other) oligarchs.
I agree. I have become more amenable to things like Flatpak or Podman/Docker to keep the base system from being cluttered up with weird dependencies, but for the most part it doesn't seem like there's a huge upside to going full atomic if you're already comfortable.
Light speed is a "you must be this clever to participate" barrier to becoming an interstellar species, that's all. Even if it's not breakable, it just means you gotta be able to plan hundreds or thousands of years into the future.
Raised by Wolves had a great intro theme and art style.
I would list the great Star Trek opening themes, but honestly they are long and can be a bit much when you're on your like eighth episode in a row.
Police Union: How could you trample on the sacred rights of the police to escalate any situation into multiple fatalities?
Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!
Yep. If they somehow were left with only cis white men, they'd redefine cis, white, or man to divide the remaining people.
If I don't bowl today the terrorists win.
