@npub1tvq…l6jk I do think the point of Linux being hampered by its very open, user-focused and custom nature is true, but it's not really well put forward.
Windows is the standard because folks use it at work, and they use it at work because Microsoft has huge enterprise contracts and marketing teams. That will never happen for Linux - even if folks use enterprise Red Hat at work, for example, they're not going to be instantly proficient with Arch at home

@npub1tvq…l6jk After the launch buzz I'm going to wait for a bit on Survivor, but I did spend an hour and a half uninstall ing and reinstalling Wine until I got EA App working properly in Lutris. Fallen Order works fine on it at least

#[0] it's really a bummer that a lot of folks first heard of the concept of decentralization from crypto scammers. Decentralization was crypto's lure because it has genuine appeal - it would have been a much less successful grift otherwise

#[0] The entire "victims' rights" trend is deeply weird, it starts with the absolutely real need to represent people who have been harmed in the process of redressing that harm - but leaves in place the idea that "redressing harm" consists of harming the perpetrator and nothing else.
