that’s windows 8

it takes two instructions to materialize a constant in risc-v. X64 has LEA.

Risc-v is better!

i don’t want flatpak either

a compatibility layer would involve dedicated hardware in the soc itself, like apple did with the m series chips

sorry to burst your bubble

you seem to be confusing an operating system for the user interface. An os can (and regularly does) have more than one interface. In this case steamos ships with two of them. One they designed which is targeted for games. And they also ship plasma as a desktop environment for those who need it. The operating system lies under all that, and you can launch any piece of software from either of the interfaces. (or the terminal, that counts as a 3rd way to interact with the computer, I guess)

as amazing as snake was as a toy on phones, it still doesn’t make sense to put a copy of snake in outlook. Or notepad, or paint, or office, or as an always available widget in the task bar

not really. If the system outputs a probability distribution, then by definition, you’re picking somewhat randomly. So not really a simplification

if every single token is, at the end, chosen by random dice roll (and they are) then this is exactly what you’d expect.

call of duty player, probably?

because they haven’t? We don’t want any changes to our ability to install software. This would still kill f-droid, and the “flow” they talked about isn’t a system wide setting. You have to do it per app. And you, the owner of the divice who just wants to install something on your device, would have to register. So if too many people install the app, the dev would be forced to register as well.

How is any of that “listening to user feedback”?

which they control

and the os. Always the os, if it has root access :)

but the sandbox is controlled by google, of course. They might need to snoop on your app for “accessibility reasons” (no pun intended)

as a beginner, this was what made me move away from ubuntu years ago. And something wrong will sometimes end up with you messing up your system. Ubuntu just isn’t a good beginner’s distro anymore.

everyone’s adopting it because they’re forced to. And shut up with your “but you can use X”, some distros literally plan to drop support for it entirely.

yes, but thanks for telling me anyway :)

everything is fucking videos now. You get stuch at a very particular place? Prepare to sift through literally hours of video instead of, for example, just searching for the name of the place you’re in ingame

that’s the thing… wayland has repeatedly said they will not reach feature parity. So from the word “until” onwards cad be deleted, back to the older comment

“these new cars have a teeny tiny fuel tank with a tiny range! They used to have a bigger tank!”

“Drive an old car”

In this case the new car is objectively inferior, and I can’t buy a new old car anymore.

When something complains about very real problems due to missing functionality, the proper answer isn’t “fuck you, use the old stuff, or stop yearning for the functionality that te intentionally crippled”
