  • The former developers really want to publish it as OSS. This was ignored and the developers gradually dropped out. Then the management decided “anyway, a former developer had a good PR idea, let’s do it” and there was no one left to check the code etc. They just released it and started the shit show.














  • Linux is becoming more and more popular on the desktop because it is now well suited for gaming. In addition to Proton, you also have to consider all the handhelds like SteamDeck. Valve certainly doesn’t want an Nvidia product with crumbling proprietary drivers. With AMD, Nvidia could see that there is a market for it and has now established itself. It was only logical that Nvidia would not stand still. They will do everything to dominate the market as well.

    I agree with 5.1 headsets and other stuff. But if movies or games (where it is implemented) are designed directly for Dolby atmos, for example, would you call that fake? Sure, tools like easyeffects work differently, but they only want to simulate it regardless of whether it is implemented or not. Of course it won’t come close to the original, but it doesn’t have to. With my Nubert XS-4000 RC or the Denon AH-D5200 I don’t falsify the sound either, but I don’t denigrate such tools for no reason.

    The programs do not present themselves as anything else. The aim is to manipulate the original sound. But to call that cheating or fake, you would also have to treat the graphics in the same way. In other words, max. settings and nice with motion blur and pretty sunbeams so that you don’t notice anything else, etc. Turning the settings down or deactivating them would be cheating/faking.

    So if people wanna use it just let them use it.
