    Most of them seemed to be giving it a fair go but Linus himself seemed to be treating it more like a Cheap Car Challenge from Top Gear. He was cracking (bad) jokes about “just Linux things” before he’d even started and he gave up pretty much straight away. The problems he was having with Discord seemed more like Discord issues than Linux issues.

    I game on Linux without issue. Literally 95% of games just work without issue. Deathloop never ran well and Routine (a UE game) for some reason kept want to install and uninstall a package each time I ran it (but it played fine). I don’t think I’ve found another game that doesn’t play and I recently bought ARC Raiders.





  • I completely agree. Like it or not if you want your protests to become a movement you have to appeal to “normal” people. When a normal person sees a statue of a person they consider a hero being vandalised or they see a protest full of people with dreadlocks, green hair, and hippy clothes they’re just going to dismiss it as an alternative culture that they don’t relate to.

    If I’m being cynical here it almost makes me believe that some of these people care more about their identity and image than they do about the cause. They’ll go to all the effort of turning up to these things but they can’t even get a haircut and throw on a shirt. I’m going off on a tangent here.
