  • I literally just installed fedora 43 KDE on my laptop, spent like 2 hours trying to get it to boot (would black screen after a fresh install, apparently multiple people have the same issue for months, idk why no official fix has been released, but a community .iso worked for me)

    But after that, holy fuck do I love it way more than gnome. I just hated gnome and everything about it, but most poplular distros I tried used it. I finally decided to try KDE and now I wish I did it earlier




  • That’s a bit tinfoil-hatty. EA is a big company and these types of decisions typically come from the top, and if it was decided that they don’t want to bother with Linux, because, let’s be fair, they don’t really have that much of an incentive, the profits they get from Linux is probably worth less than the headache of supporting another platform, then they most probably decided to apply that to the whole company, not just a single game.






  • I feel like it’s a testing ground for new features for them, but not sure why some aren’t yet integrated. Best guess: the PowerToys team has less red tape and checks to go through than the Windows team to allow for faster iteration, but that means that integrating the features wouldn’t be just the click of a button since they’d have to adapt it to fit the Windows style. But this is just a wild guess.



  • That’s a bit of a flawed approach, at least if we’re talking about the average user. The average user doesn’t want nor shouldn’t need to have a deep understanding of the OS. If you’re a dev or interested in it, sure, it’s good to know, but asking the average person to have to constantly tinker with their OS is like asking people to diagnose their own illnesses. Sure, it would be nice if you knew medicine and why you were sick and how to cure it, but it doesn’t make sense to expect everyone to do it. Most people don’t care, and have better things to do in their life.
