If they could let you create real polls to vote, it would be nice too.

Right now I think you can only react with a thumb up or a thub down.

A Gnome OS that you could use is a really interesting project!

I love Fedora but I guess what I love in it was s in fact Gnome since I don’t think the Fedora team is making a lot of modifications.

I’m also going to buy some Linux stickers soon, but I want the money to be used to support Linux, so just some printshop is out of question.

But I don’t think any of the money would end up helping some Linux project.

I think Peertube has a brighter future if they find a way to act like some Youtube and Patreon alternative.

Maybe, you could get 2 free videos from one creator and then need to pay once you know you enjoy what they do.

I love seeing these screenshots of old Linux distributions as it makes me realize how much things have improved.

I’m just a consumer but I really appreciate the work everyone has done and I ain’t going back to Windows anymore.

I’ve only installed Linux on one Mac (MacBook Pro 2012) and it was easier than on my Microsoft Surface Go 1 to be honest.

10 years is clearly not enough. I’d say 20 years but I clearly don’t know how much work is involved.

I also clearly think that preserving the history of technology isn’t given enough importance with games disappearing, OS’s being not useable anymore and stuff like this.

But Linux is clearly the good student here.

I wouldn’t mind paying a monthly subscription to the creators I enjoy in Peertube.

I’m already doing it through Patreon, but doing through Peertube would be better as these creators would see that the money is coming from a Peertube user.

I have a Surface Go 1 with 8gb running Fedora Workstation. It has a typecover and it spends most of its time linked to a monitor through the USB-C port. It charges this way and can also send data to the monitor which is used as an USB hub.

As I’m never using it only as a tablet, I can’t give you more informations about the touchscreen functionalities.

Is your laptop linked to an external screen? Sometimes, I get the same problem and unplugging/plugging the screen solves the issue.

Well what I meant is that if Gnome was taking so much inspiration from MacOs, being a Gnome user, I wouldn’t have felt lost on MacOS.

I also don’t mind Gnome taking what’s great from every other OS, as it’d clearly be stupid not to if an idea is great.

I also think that people should be more open minded about what others are enjoying. I prefer Linux, but I can also understand that some people just want to have the most compatible OS with everything, aka Windows. Or the best ecosystem, aka Apple.

It is not my choice, and I’m trying to convince people to switch to something else, but just badmouthing their choice when it has objectively some advantages isn’t gonna help.

I’ve only spent a few hours on my wife’s MacBook Pro which was still running Catalina (now Fedora) back in the days, and I didn’t think Gnome and MacOs were so similar.

To be honest I felt a bit lost on MacOs Catalina and felt like everything was difficult compared to Gnome.

But I guess Gnome is taking a lot of inspiration from the MacOs aesthetic, and it’s okay with me because it looks great.

I don’t have a lot of experience with other DE on Linux, but they lack the clean aesthetic of Gnome.

For me the most annoying thing with Windows is the ads and the fact Microsoft is pushing you to buy into their stuff.

I clearly love Linux way more, but I don’t think Windows (10 at least) is as bad as some people make it sound.

Still I’m trying to convince everyone I know to switch to Linux.

It’s a really interesting article about something we might not think about.

It’d be interesting also to try to see how much money they can save by using a lower bitrate or saving energy by using less servers.

It’s a lot of things we take for granted when we’re just watching a show and you don’t think about all the work behind it.

Ok Thanks for the info. I might check it out 👍

It’s an interesting article and I’m also starting to think more and more about game preservation.

I don’t understand why a company like Sony wouldn’t provide you a way to play ps1-3 games on your ps5. I would even be ready to pay for it.

There might be some technical problems I’m not seeing, but people can do it on older pc’s…

I guess the whole video game industry has to think about preserving its own history.

I don’t know if open sourcing games would help, but something needs to be done.

Even playing a game like Sim City 2000 on pc is proving challenging now on Windows. I would want to play it on Linux but I can’t imagine how difficult that would be as the game isn’t even listed in Proton DB. And the VM solution would probably not work as Steam wouldn’t support something like Windows XP…

Oh okay thanks for the info. I don’t think it’s such a problem because it’s open source and the code can be reviewed.

Also I’m not sure American companies are less evil than companies from other superpowers.

What is the problem with its origin?

I would want to « force » my relatives to use Linux. My wife had an unsupported MacBook Pro from 2012, so I managed to convince her it would be safer to switch. Since then, she hasn’t used macOS, but she also hasn’t used Linux because she can use her work provided windows laptop 😅

I also proposed to my mom to provide IT support remotely to her via Linux, but she prefers using windows and relying on an old friend who is forcing her to buy a lot of Microsoft products otherwise he refuses to help her.

I hope I’ll at least be able to teach my kids that Linux ain’t scary 🙏
