If I own a community that’s related to a piece of software, service, or other community and someone who actually contributes to that wants it, message me and it’s yours. I stake no claim in communities, I simply want to see them exist and thrive.
From the dev on disc when someone asked about smart tv support:
Playnite currently has heavy Windows dependencies so it’s not even technically possible.
Long term there is a plan to look into Linux support, but mobile or TV (Android in general) is very unlikely to happen any time soon.
Waiting for a native port of playnite.
See? This is way less ragebait than the last one.
Yeah, I’ll agree with that at least. Issue is how prolific kernal-based anti-cheat software is in multiplayer games. Hopefully some day they’ll become more generally linux compatible. Make that happen and get Playniteno not Lutris ported natively to Linux and it’ll become my daily driver instead of just my development station and webserver.
Windows is more easily compatible for gaming, generally, and for 90% of people that’s all that matters. Specifically various anti-cheats do not play well with Linux.
You really feel like the only reason to use or not use Linux is how much you can game on it, eh?
I’d rather push Linux for its strengths than lie and spread misinfo to lead people to believe Linux is always better than Windows at gaming perf. There’s many times it’s not, or it’s incompatible, or you need to spend possibly hours finding the right community-developed launcher / recompilation to get it to run. Gaming on Linux is a mess, that’s the only certainty about it lol
The abject strengths of Linux are its command line, its customisability, its compatibility with various utility softwares, and its productivity. Instead of drinking copium over a fruitless effort, just focus on actual strengths lmao
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
To be fair, AMD performs better on Linux than Windows in general because AMD makes shit drivers.
Oh I agree, but “For all the doubters” is deliberately provocative. We can agree on that, right?
This is ragebait.
Yeah, lemmy.world is definitely not a safe instance for this kind of content.
These decisions are made by me and me alone
They’re really not though? You can’t just switch off AGPL without explicit permission of every person who’s contributions to the project are being relicensed.

Name checks out lol
This is a fantastic list, thanks so much ♥
Wow that’s awful. I’m glad they’re putting out a statement so others can avoid SFLC.
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml is not @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml.
Even if it was, there’s over 100 contributors to Lemmy, contributing for free, with no benefit to themselves.
What issues are you talking about? This would be important context so I can decide whether I care or not.
