Oh yeah, to be clear I don’t think Macs can’t be good gaming machines, it’s just that it doesn’t seem to be heading that way right now.

Windows has one major thing going for it: it’s best-in-class for gaming. It might even be the greatest gaming platform of all time. Linux and even Mac are gaining ground, but they’ve got a little ways to go.
…is Mac gaming actually gaining ground? From listening to a friend of mine who has a Mac, it sounds like Mac gaming is going steadily backwards. Wine and similar doesn’t work very well for them, and Mac compatibility is happening with fewer and fewer games. Game Porting Toolkit isn’t really for end users, is it? Is there something else my friend is missing?
Noveau is terrible for gaming. If you want any kind of reasonable gaming experience you’ll need the propietary Nvidia driver (for now).
This isn’t binding tho, Adobe could change their minds in a year and then legally train an AI on all the data they’ve collected. Their own blog post doesn’t even preclude that, their AI language is present tense. In addition they could just license the data to other AI companies.
Even if it wasn’t a gimmick, it still wouldn’t be benevolent. Corporations only lower prices when they think the lower price can make them more money overall.
That said, Valve does not support the official Ubuntu way of installing Steam, which is via snap (‘apt install steam’ will install the snap). So you have to make sure to install the Steam way (manually via the deb) instead.
The reason is 24.04 is LTS, and they want to keep things more stable, even if that means more bugs. 24.10 should come with 6.1 in the fall.
Yeah, I love my XCover Pro for this.
There are tons of x86 Chromebooks still tho.
It sounds like what would really be helpful is a way to “pin” or “lock” notifications so they can’t be dismissed easily. This could be a setting for all notifications from certain apps. That way apps can’t abuse it, and users can set it up how they like.
Edit: It could be an app permission as well.
Some people have kids, I guess.
Diversity is a huge strength of Linux. We should encourage users to use whatever works for them.
For a very long time people will also still need to understand what they are asking the machine to do. If you tell it to write code for an impossible concept, it can’t make it. If you ask it to write code to do something incredibly inefficiently, it’s going to give you code that is incredibly inefficient.
