That’s like blaming your English teacher for “Don Quixote de la Mancha” being written in Spanish. Linux isn’t the reason those things don’t run on Linux. Fortnite and Warzone developers are responsible for failing to develop for anything other than Windows, consoles, and sometimes Mac.

I know how it works. And I’m saying it doesn’t work for me. Ubuntu has an app store too and it fails for the same reasons the Windows store fails. Only windows and Mac users expect such a fragmentary and redundant system of what you call “integrated” updates.

Function. In this case it’s not just a matter of definitions because the windows options do not offer the same utility and convenience I’ve come to expect from a package manager for the last decade or more. It’s a bit like me asking for a chocolate chip cookie and someone handing me a handful of chocolate chips and a cup of flour and wondering why I look disappointed.

I expect a package manager to handle all of my packages, be they system or third party. I also expect to be able to add repositories from developers for apps I need to be more up to date than the default system versions. This functions to also allow applications to be managed that aren’t in the default repositories at all. I expect to be able to handle all updates with a simple command and be able to schedule those updates for when it suites my convenience, not when the operating system developers see fit. Those are the things I mean when I call something a package manager.

The windows store is really just a single application repository though, not a full featured package management system e.g. one that updates the operating system itself or allows alternative repository sources.

It’s funny to me how windows users expect package management from each and every individual application instead of expecting that to be a basic function of their operating system.

I didn’t call you anything, but it is interesting that you lept to that conclusion. Dictionaries are descriptive not prescriptive, so not sure how that’s relevant in this discussion.

You’re describing leeching from something like Anna’s Archive datasets.

I’ve done both. The shield is both MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to setup and is so much more powerful than the Pi that N64, PS1, and GameCube Games are more likely to play well. OP didn’t mention being on a budget. They also didn’t mention their Linux skill level. Given thosee facts the shield is worth the price difference. They’re not really saving money if they can’t get the Pi working.

Buy an nvidia shield. Install retroarch. Find ROMs and put them on a USB drive, plug into shield. Pair any Bluetooth controller(s?). Play all the games.

Lies don’t need to be intentional. You may not have been lying in the moment, but (especially if it’s by your own actions) you have made yourself a liar after the fact if you don’t keep to your promise. Your logic sounds like a narcissist’s rhetoric. Your intent in the moment is worthless without follow through and does not relieve you of responsibility.

Do you really want an explanation for why a market might want large signage that they can change without much extra labor? Seems self evident to me.

Surely you’ve used something roughly equivalent like searching a text, be it web page or other document, for a word or filtering a spreadsheet?

It depends on your emphasis. “You HAVE got a problem there,” doesn’t sound weird when you emphasize the have. You’ve a problem doesn’t sound weird, just a bit British.

The power indicator bulbs in these kinds of kitchen appliances are rarely LEDs. They are usually neon indicator lamps. They’re pretty durable and have been in use far longer than LEDs.

This kind of cheese has a very low melt point.

So I take it you’ve never had your mouth washed out with soap for sassing your mother? I guess you also never mistook wax fruit for real fruit as a kid? Or just took a bite anyway to make smartass joke? Maybe I was just a bad kid.

Not deliver it, claim they did, and let you fight it out with the delivery company for a refund. The whole 3rd party food delivery business is a scam.

I added the phone number disconnected sound effect to the beginning of my voicemail outgoing message, set my ringer to silent, and set a personalized ringtone to anyone I actually wanted to speak with. That worked okay to get me off most of the lists. When that wasn’t enough to drive all of them away I started answering unknown numbers and fucking with the people on the other end, saying anything to string them along and waste their time with bullshit and lies. That actually worked better than anything else.

Right so I guess I should have over specified that I hope ALL the other bits that actually make it function the same will also catch up and for example something as basic as forwarding GUI programs will simply work without jumping through a bunch of tedious flaming hoops with pitfalls on either side. It doesn’t really matter to me that Wayland has decided it’s somebody else problem.
