That is the distinction between Open Source and Free (as in Freedom) Software. I prefer the spanish/latin/french term Libre to refer to what you call “truly open source”.
Open source is indeed frequently used by big and smaller companies to do what I call OpenWashing. Yes the source code is available somewhere but the licence is so restrictive that it doesn’t respect my freedom and thus isn’t Libreware / Free Software.
Also copyleft for the win!
It’s less resilient, honestly with today speeds it is not that less efficient I would say.
It depends on your local laws I think. I’m pretty sure downloading free copyrighted product from an unauthorized source is still illegal in France for exemple.
InstaFel?
I’m not a fan of NonSteamLaunchers but I’m happy about this
Yes, developers needs to implement fovated rendering but not fovated streaming.
Honestly I fined macOS fine feature-wide but the defaults aren’t great for me so I tweaked many things and the annoying part of this is that I rely on multiple third party tools for what I consider should be native settings to change.
Maybe I don’t remember the defaults on macOS and assume my setup is macOS UX but it’s quite tweaked yeah. I find my config closer to Gnome than my memories of Windows. But I agree that Gnome is radially different and that’s what I’ve write in my comment.
Isn’t Cosmic based on Gnome? I have to try it, I was hyped when they announced it and now it’s realeased.
What about the DE used in ElementaryOS? ZorinOS Pro has some macOS themes and KDE is heavily flexible to replicate macOS’s UX.
Yeah fuck the video codec mafia and all these proprietary shits like HDMI
Heroic has slow download from GoG and Epic on my machine too.
Yes, sorry I was too lazy to provide any sources here are a few (mostly in french sorry). It was called the 8 December case or “L’Affaire du 8 décembre” in french.
Edit:
You forgot that french juges have used the facts that people installed Linux, Signal, /e/OS and GrapheneOS has evidence to charge them!
I think they were leftists activists charged for eco-terrorism but I don’t remember all the details but you should take a look. La Quadrature du Net has done some blogging and court things over this events of dark times.
If you’re comming from Windows and don’t want to be too much distabilized ZorinOS is probably one of the best.
Other great choice are:
However CAD on Linux is not great, there is some free tools but they are so much more limited than the proprietary windows suite of tools. Maybe WinBoat could make your software run good enough.
I mean you cannot fit Monero in the same bucket as the rest of the cryptocurrencies. No foundation, no company, no VCs, no pre-mined, CPU-based PoW, no major on/off ramp accepting it but still a strong currency with real usage outside speculation made by a community of builders. Can be life saving for some high risks profiles and honestly is the complete opposite of the cryptocurrency market, I’m thankful it exists.
Monero is based though
As long as they don’t sell that to people as “easy money multiplier, invest you’ll become rich in weeks” I’m okay. Won’t buy though
Maybe memoria but I don’t think it support e2ee. However it is a self-hosted solution which is more private than a unecrypted SaaS with tons of telemetry.
