That was always Gabe’s intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.
Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.
Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.
Short sellers, and the corporation that absorbs them at bargain prices.
New MacBooks have their memory soldered directly to the main board and don’t have an extra m.2 port. There are very few windows laptops that meet both of those criteria. But like I said, even in those cases you can install games on an external drive.
No it’s not, unless they have a MacBook. And even in that case it’s not hard to find an external SSD with a thunderbolt or USB3.2 interface.
It’s not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.
The media creator runs perfectly in wine. But isos are easy to find as well.
I use batch renaming all the time, very little of it for programming. Media management, and general file organization are my most common uses. But there are plenty of third party free programs that let windows do this without the need for running python scripts.
.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy’s technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.
I’ve been liking .zip so far.
I’m not saying they won’t try, just that it doesn’t matter. They have no power here
When they actually do have far right beliefs sure. But I think they were referring to people using the “right wing extremist” tag as a bludgeon for any views right of their own, or things that may not even be right at all.
Looks like it was to give independence to the French African states.
That could very easily be all websites. It would never be feasible to stop.
Eh, it’s unenforceable. Just theater from a bunch of politicians that don’t understand the technology. I wouldn’t worry about it.
That was the first way I installed Ubuntu. I remember the bootleg ones on eBay for $5 also.
I use timeshift for local backups, then duplicati for backing up to Amazon glacier monthly.
Don’t forget that a local backup is as bad as no backup at all in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not trusting the cloud is fine (though strong encryption can make this very safe), but looking into some kind of off site backup is important. Could be as simple as a second hard drive that you swap out weekly stored in a safe deposit, or a nas at a trusted friends house.
I honestly wish more programs did the app by app theming thing like steam and discord. I don’t need my desktop theme applied to every program I open. I would much rather the program to have a consistent design language that works, rather than slapping themed buttons all over the place that don’t fit with other aspects of the program.
Not sure if it’s right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.
