There is one in the works right now: https://www.nexusmods.com/app

The only problem is, there are just 2 games supported at the moment; Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077. Many more will follow, but it takes time. And updates can break your current setup, because its heavy on working and changes. So this is more of a future thing. I myself wait for this right now.

Here is mine for EndeavourOS (based on Arch, BTW):

alias update='eos-update --yay'
alias updates='eos-update --yay ;
  flatpak update ; 
  flatpak uninstall --unused ; 
  rustup self update ; 
  rustup update'

And related for uninstalling something:

alias uninstall='yay -Rs'

What negotiation? I have a hard time to follow what you mean. Which operating system does turn off when shutting down? If it does not, then either its configured to do so (or not to) or there is an issue that needs to be handled and resolved. You don’t want your PC turn off immediately, so it can do stuff that is needed (such as wait for all drives to write the data) or remove temporary files and unmount drives and so on. Otherwise an instant turn off is equivalent to a crash (including all background services and running applications, losing data, corrupting drives…).

Your data in the cloud should be at best being another backup, in addition to your local backup you do regularly. And even that is a stretch, because those companies can analyze your data on the cloud too. Man, people have so much trust in companies like Microsoft.

Ubuntu + Snap + GNOME + Wayland + Systemd

Holy moly, there is a lot of stuff for haters to talk about. Each of these parts are very polarizing on its own, but combined, phew.

Don’t tell me how to argue and how i feel about it. Not everything is white and black. There is grey and color in between.

As long as this is optional and can be turned off, I think there are bigger problems right now. Its not optimal off course and it would be better to opt-in. At least there is the option to turn it off.

10 years from now, we get retrospective documentary on other video platforms about the downfall of Google.

If the Kernel is not signed, then it does not matter. The whole point of signed Kernels is to only execute that specific code. Its not pointless. But besides that, even if you don’t like Open Source, nobody said the Anticheat software has to be open source. This is something you implied. I don’t think any of the Anticheat companies would Open Source it anyway, so this was not my suggestion at all.

Besides your argumentation that open source is less secure, a driver or program does not need to be in the Kernel to work with it. Does it? Kernel level anti cheat systems are available on Windows too, without being in the Windows Kernel. All it needs is a Kernel module to load it separately. Something like the Nvidia proprietary driver. I don’t know if this would work for Anticheat.

Back to your point of open source and code around it. Well they code around the proprietary tools too. Reverse engineering stuff is possible. So your argumentation is a bit weak. Open Source means more people are looking into and its actually more secure and up to date (for common and actually developed drivers).

And you don’t have to use it, if you don’t like. How about letting people give options instead calling something they want or need being useless? It has a use and reason, so its by definition not useless. Instead using Windows, they could use Linux.

Classic. I also did the rm -rf once in a wrong directory of a programming project. Luckily it was a subdirectory, so nothing important lost. But it could have easily if I was one hierarchy higher.

I am so much afraid of rm -rf, that I usually go in a directory with cd and rm in current directory those files only. And then I do rmdir on empty directories. I use recursive -r only, with specific directory names included (autocomplete helps). This way, even if I am in the wrong directory, the chance that there is the exact same directory name is a bit lower.

And I often also just switch to graphical filemanager to delete files. Not only that. Sometimes I also just move folder instead deleting, so I have a back up until I’m sure. There is also trash-cli.

One way I can imagine it being some certified Linux kernel versions that are accepted and worked together with anticheat creators. That way Valve could use the Kernel in Steam Deck or SteamOS, so any game works out of the box. And other distribution users can just install this Kernel too, if their distributions provide it.

Anyone who don’t want to have Kernel level anticheat systems enabled on their system, do not need to install the Kernel. Therefore they are secure against it. But for anyone else who wants it, they can. At least this option would be a compromise.

But they are presented and optimized in a different way. Not only for the search engines, but also the way how it affects the human. And in the end (no pun intended BTW), one is talking about KDE specifically, showcases it and goes a bit more indepth. And the other is a very short and simple page, talking about Linux in general with a few key bullet points. So having two different ways is not a bad idea actually.

Or just because they are used to it and don’t want to learn a new package manager and all its features and quirks. Would be a shame though. Everyone should!

I still don’t get Docker. Can we see it as a universal package format that works across all systems, kind of? Well in that regard, we also have JavaScript based applications for the web browser and Web Assembly to run locally too.

Well a comment like this will not help in your case, calling people idiots is not nice. Most on Linux sub don’t like Windows, you should expect this. No need to get furious about random internet points. I also don’t like Windows, but wish you best luck with it. At least you are using Linux on it. Just ignore people who hate YOU for that.

You would be surprised by how many people buy a new computer, just because Windows end support. Most are not aware of Linux or think its a complicated geek system that only hackers use, because they read some weird comments about and from Linux users. At this time, campaigns like these are needed.

Why not?

Nice article. But a little bit too wordy and long. They need to shorten this a bit, if this is an initial page trying to make it clear.
