Fark still exists?!

If only I could read it… endless captcha loops for me.

It has newer packages than Debian. And even though Debian releases new stables every couple years, at least historically, it has kept old package versions around for way longer than that. Before I started using ubuntu sometime in the '10s, it was normal for a debian stable package to be upwards of 10 years out of date.

And it wasn’t like today where you have containers/VMs, PPAs, flatpak/appimage/snap/etc… if you needed a newer version of a package for whatever reason, often you couldn’t just compile it yourself or use the testing/unstable one because it had cascading dependencies that were also newer, so you were just screwed. Being able to have a “stable” release with newer packages was a huge draw for Ubuntu.

Those benchmarks compare Wine NTSYNC against upstream vanilla Wine, which means there’s no fsync or esync either. Gamers who use fsync are not going to see such a leap in performance in most games.

If you’re using lutris or proton/etc., you’re probably already using esync/fsync.

My bet would be ulterior motive.

Linux is not an operating system, it’s just the kernel and has no concept of users/accounts or logging in to anything.

A great many Linux-based distros (“operating systems”) are not under US jurisdiction.

It doesn’t, pretty sure the repo is a joke. Their code doesn’t do anything special, just runs the program you give it.

Yep, the project must be a joke because the code doesn’t actually do anything besides run the specified program normally.

URLs can have newlines too

I think your own statements here are pretty elitist.

“As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.”

Does it have accounts?

I swear people will never be happy no matter what.

No AI features? Get with the times man.

AI features? High treason.

Opt-out? Not good enough.

Opt-in? Nobody will use it.

Can’t please everyone I guess.

I know it’s not BSD but, gentoo already does similar with elogind to support all init systems with gnome, so maybe they could use something like that too.

gentoo uses elogind to emulate the systemd interfaces required by gnome

You can alter your PAM configuration to require both: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/572841

On my system, by default it lets you use either one to authenticate any time a password is needed, but this can be changed to require successful authentication using BOTH methods if desired.

I wasn’t sure if you were wanting to require both, or just allow either one to be used, but both scenarios are trivial to configure.

Most of the games I play don’t work on wine (Teknoparrot), and multiple machines I have are either missing or have broken essential drivers for built-in peripherals like wifi/BT, fingerprint readers etc. So… I had to go back.

One of my laptops has a 10+ year old unfixed kernel bug for the bluetooth not working… and the wifi only uploads at 1mbps under Linux, but works fine on Windows.

I’m sure people that don’t happen to have random hardware/software incompatibilities are enjoying linux, but there’s also still lots of people that can’t switch.

Yea this is some BS… gnome doesn’t need any help to burn their own reputation to the ground, this is just a hitpiece by yet another one of their out of touch high and mighty contributors.

lol, lmao even

it’s giving me GIMPshop flashbacks
