How would Linux have been today if locked bootloaders were as common in the 90s as they are now on ARM devices?

    Coincidently one of the things they list (named pipes) as an improvement is something I've had a nuisance with for years. there's multiple things that I would love wine to have that it does not but proton does

    for the millionth time they get to stand on the shoulders on all the wine development that came before it. and now we have to reckon with the bullshit of proton patches that never go upstream to make wine better for all

    there's A LOT of levers that can be fiddled with, but there's some settings that fedora tested out that popos and arch use/recommend

    umu is in lutris, heroic, Faugus, and zoom so far that Ive heard of. bottles is in the middle of a huge rewrite but they got distracted by the little side project of making a new distro

    performance should be the same. the big win is protonfixes, so when things change for SC we can get those into fixes that run automatically at every game launch instead of having to ask people to change things manually in lutris. at the moment these enable the launcher to be able to Verify, and patches Nvidia so that DLSS works

    it's inevitable for any projects that aren't protected by strong enough foss license. that's how they go from open source to source available

    lutris pushed runtime updates without regression testing to make sure it worked with lutris 5.17, and then had to push out more updates to fix it. my favorite though was winetricks not being executable

    I hope KDE does an implementation for cursor warping in Wayland kwin, it's clear it won't get fixed in XWayland any time soon
