The best advertiser for Linux is Microsoft.
You did not misremembered it. They tried to make it difficult, got backlashed, then took a step back. All of it before Win11 was widely distributed, so some people never had to deal with it.
With that said. MS still looking ways to try forcing you to use Edge. Recently, all of your Chrome tabs just got reopen into Edge, “due to a bug”.
We are getting there.
Nevertheless, I will keep my expectation in check, as to see if companies will keep up will the spirit of the law and/or the state will be serious in enforcement it.
I feel sorry for anyone who had to sat through this event. It was the most boring and soulless presentation I have ever seen. It it the definition of “This could have just been an email”.
Mesa comes as separate flatpaks which is hidden in the GUI, and is automatically install when you install a flatpak. The system can have multiple versions of the driver installed. When Steam is ready to use a newer Mesa version, it will do it automatically.
Mangohud, on the other hand, is a flatpak you need to install manually via the command line. You should follow the instruction on their Github page for that.
P.S: In case you like a GUI for things. You should install Flatseal, which provide a GUI for configuring flatpaks.
Apparently, the CAD software Ondsel is also not compatible with the mesa’s implementation; and it would just crash right after the boot.
Damn it. The UK is not in the EU. 😂
This is the second times Apple got caught red-handed for stealing, and there is no doubt there were many more cases where they got away with it.
Wait, how are they going to finish the story with just 2 episodes?!
Technologically, Window is great. There is no denying that, and if anything some the dated (+ insecure) things on it is the result of its own success, i.e. the app installation and management process, as it is hard to convince billions of people to do anything different.
On the other hand, the management of the company is the biggest problem with everything in and around Window. First, there is no single business model; MS sells you a 1 time licence for the OS itself, but then constantly try to harvest and sell your data (with ads everywhere in Windows 11), and if you want to do any office work then you have to pay a subscription for MS 365. Last but not least, they keep breaking things every few updates, i.e. I actually failed one of my university course because OneDrive decided that my report don’t need to exist after an update (in 2018).
This is what SAO should have been.
Love it.
Yeah. Twitter has always been a shit show, under Mush it just gets more unhinged and right-winged.
