If you’re referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.

As for the proton, I’ll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.

Edit: I’m using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so… whomp whomp I guess

Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn’t boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).

Once installed, though, it’s been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I’ve had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won’t play.

If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain

Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

Gee, if only there was an option other than Chrome!

Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk’s platform as “freedom technology.”

Ah, I see. He went insane.

Tried Ubuntu a few years back. Snap was a big part of why I dropped it. Started using Pop_OS last year, and while it’s still not my main driver (mostly because of gaming issues), I split my time between it and windows pretty evenly.

The article brings that up.

“The complaint alleges that Razer only stopped the false advertising following negative press coverage and consumer outrage at the deceptive claims,” said FTC.

In fact, after a little bit of research of my own, I found an Engadget article with quote from a Razer representative stating, “To avoid any confusion, we are in the process of removing all references to ‘N95 Grade Filter’ from our marketing material.”

While they may be functionally Similar to the consumer, there is a massive difference between first-party and third-party exclusives, and another huge gap between exclusivity decided based on publisher choices and based upon storefront bribery. These differences are especially applicable to the topic of enshittification the driving element for this conversation which your response seems to have forgotten in this instance.
