The best outcome would be setting a precedent that allows FOSS organisations to send threatening letters to companies that violate the license. An individual dev maintaining a small library may theoretically be able to win a lawsuit, but practically? lmao good luck
If I understand correctly, this applies to users, not just contributors. As a user of the software you are entitled to a copy of the source code.
You’re welcome! Have fun!
I would say that your best bet would be to learn React Native. It’s an excellent option for mobile apps and you can reuse what you learn for a lot of other things as well. It’s super popular so you should find no shortage of resources if you get stuck.
Another option is Flutter. I personally don’t like it too much unless I also intend to target desktop (and even then I’d probably use something else) but it’s fairly popular as well so you should be able to find plenty of learning resources.
I’d rather play pacman
I figured out why Gnome on Xorg was crashing. It was because of libinput-config. I noticed because it wouldn’t actually crash until the moment I moved the mouse. The game seems to work perfectly on Xorg.
I already tried gamescope. The results of that attempt are in my original post above.
Still, while I can finally play the game now, it’s a bit annoying having to remove a package and reboot everytime. I don’t even know if this is a Wayland issue or a Gnome issue but I don’t have the disk space to install KDE or anything.
Ideally I would like to figure out why this is happening in the first place and maybe report it upstream, but I have no clue how to even get debug logs out of this.
Anyway, thanks for the help. I appreciate it!
Okay this is extremely weird. No matter which version of wine/proton I pick in Lutris, I get the exact same issue where the window doesn’t show up but the game is running. The only difference with Steam here is that I can hear the game audio.
I am almost certain this is an issue because of Wayland but I can’t seem to figure out why Gnome on Xorg keeps crashing for me.
Alright, I’ll try that. I wanted to use Steam because then I can use my controller with Steam input but I guess it’s fine.
I tried it a few hours after I made this post but for some reason, Gnome on Xorg kept crashing and going back to GDM as soon as I moved the cursor. By that point it was getting late and I stopped debugging. I have no idea how to debug that anyway.
Yes. I tried Proton GE, Proton Experimental and Proton 8.0-2
The window doesn’t even show up on an older version of Proton.
I think this could even be related to the idea of post-open source that Bruce Perens talked about. An organisation which helps its members handle the business-y parts of running large community projects. They could handle funding, legal representation, marketing and any other support that members may want. A large number of members would make it that much more effective as well.
