I agree, but what I mean is that Lemmy has a much smaller userbase. Most people don’t even know about it.

EDIT: Also, the smaller userbase may itself be a reason for the more welcoming community.

Deepin your mom’s nuts

Very true. Not a lot of outreach you can do on Lemmy, though. Still a pretty niche platform.

I agree, but I’m cynical and don’t see that ever happening.

To be fair, most people who want to install Linux will google “how to install Linux” and most likely will be pointed at the main Ubuntu distro.

EDIT: I wish this was appreciated more than it is

Because it’s a random set and spread across the whole hundred million users of Steam. The chances of any person being selected more than annually are low.

I mean, you should be happy about that. If it was the other way around then your government would sell your country out from under you. See: America.

So, when I think “emulation” I usually consider it to be software emulating a hardware device (e.g. the original Gameboy, audio cards for legacy programmes that required audio cards, etc.). What they’re describing in the article is what has been described to me as being an abstraction/compatibility layer. So my questions are: 1.a. Is that really what this is or is it actually an emulator? b. If the latter, what makes it an emulator rather than a compat layer? 2. In general, how much do the two concepts interact? E.g. separate concepts entirely, ends of some continuum, etc.

Running via WSL on a Windows VM on Linux

gnot happening.

As much as I like SteamOS, it really bothers me that it deletes Waydroid when it updates. Idk why it does that but it’s irritating. Does Bazzite have the same issue?

Hey there. I learned about Immich from Louis Rossmann’s channel. Promptly forgot about it. It popped up in my feed just now. This is just one way that Immich could come to the attention of anyone spontaneously. If I was interested in using Immich, I would probably also ask about paid services for hosting because my current circumstances prohibit self-hosting. But I’m not interested in using Immich, nor do I have the money to pay for such a service anyway.

Not everything is some sort of conspiracy.

EDIT: Also, if you think the guy’s a bot, why bother replying? Furthermore, why bother replying as though they were human? “Who sent you” psssh smh goofy ah guy

Because laptop manufacturers don’t make laptops for people who want to install their own OSes. The average tech illiterate just wants something that works out of the box.

Everyone in here arguing about licencing and then there’s me who’s not using Pinta because it legitimately sucks ass.

Please do install Windows 7 in 2025.

Oh, I didn’t think to check. Figured they were the same. But yeah, looking at it now it looks rather horrible, doesn’t it?

Amigo, it’s 5 paragraphs and two of those are a quote.

From what I understand, they’re wanting what Cisco does on Windows. Programmes hosted on a server that appear on a remote client when run. Problem is, Cisco is also relatively slow and will never run as fast as a programme hosted on the client machine itself. The biggest hurdle is the network speed of the client.
