Qemu-KVM is a bit more of a faff but is FOSS.
If they use virt-manager most of the faff is handled for you in a way very similar to Virtual Box. It’s not just as easy and you have to learn its idiosyncrasies. But I recommend trying it!
That bothers me as well, and maybe an update can also break mod compatibility. I mean I’m grateful that the developers are still working on improving it! Anyways I think you can solve it when you use steam by forcing a specific version using the “beta” settings. This way I decide when I’m ready to receive major version upgrades :)
Heh whatever I do, whatever games I play, regardless of how much time has passed since I last played…in the end I always come back to ets2.

I have thousands of hours in them 👀
I guess you’re right, I’ll do some testing 🤣
It lasts like 6-8 hours
mine does definitely more than 8 hours…maybe yours is defective?
forgetting to charge the PS5 controller is way more annoying.
In that regard the experience on Linux is better than on Windows: on Linux I can see the level of charge directly in the Bluetooth menu, and then I can plug it in after I finish using it
I don’t feel any particular lag, neither in windows nor linux, when using Bluetooth (compared to usb): to me they feel almost the same. But it should be noted that I almost never play games where you would notice more.
In my experience, though, Bluetooth generally works better in linux than windows, esp. pairing and connecting.
Anyways, steam does an excellent job in making the controller work in games, also those that don’t officially support.
In the past, I have owned: an xbox controller (and I hated it) , other cheap controllers (and they broke). The ps5 for me works very well, it appears to be good quality, the battery lasts long and is rechargeable via usb c.
It’s pricey but it’s good.
But I don’t know how it compares with the steam controller.
I really like the ps5 dualsense controller and had no issues whatsoever in Linux. Works really well. I’d even say better than in windows.
Not exactly true:
Because the GNU kernel—Hurd—is not production-ready , GNU is usually used with the Linux kernel. There was an Arch-based distribution called Arch Hurd, which is inactive. Hurd package last update was in 2019.
Arch Linux is such a GNU/Linux distribution, using GNU software such as the Bash shell, the GNU core utilities —coreutils, the GNU toolchain and numerous other utilities and libraries.
you’re at least 10 years too late for present continuous.
I didn’t expect to laugh so much in this thread! 💯
I remember when back in the days people talked shit about X11, saying that it was a pile of shit and to move to Wayland.
Then Wayland became mainstream and you start to see the X11 nostalgics talking shit about Wayland.
I’m so fed up with all of this. People, use what works! There will never be the perfect software, the perfect OS, the perfect library, the perfect programming language, the perfect file system, the perfect database, the perfect protocol, the perfect shell (or the perfect forum).
Good for you!
That means that you indeed have options! Systemd isn’t limiting your freedom! If anything, it’s limiting your easiness of choice. And for that I understand your feelings, but you really can’t do anything about it. Except maybe become a developer for a competing init system, so that it becomes better than systemd. Because the systemd is here to stay, until something better comes to replace it :)
Do you trust random strangers on the internet, then? You don’t need systemd to get a backdoor on your system. Xz is enough and fortunately it was caught.
It’s not the software provider’s duty to support every platform. Mullvad officially only supports Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora.
Their obligation ends there. By using any other distro, even a systemd one, you’re taking responsibility to make it work in your system. That’s the freedom that linux offers you! The ability to do whatever weird shit you want, at your risk and without any warranty explicit or implied.
Become a package maintainer for your distro to add support for mullvad and stop complaining.
The idea of Linux isn’t just about running big software, it’s about the ability to compose a system from independent parts.
This is just false. The idea of Linux is having a copyleft operating system, free as in beer and as in freedom. Full stop.
Again, yes. But it’s not like there’s a big conspiracy to push systemd in your systems. People (developers, distro mainteners, system maintainers, …) are using it because for them it has value. It makes it easier, more reliable, whatever.
Many OSS projects require gcc, or glib. And can work with alternative compilers or libraries, but maybe you’ll encounter some issues. By the same logic, would you say that GCC and Glib are reducing your freedom?
And by the way I’m not saying that the premise is false. It’s true that it somewhat reduces your options. But you still have options.
And I think that having a somewhat standardized environment is a good thing. But if you don’t, use another distro. Heck, use OpenBSD!
(I’m using “you” but I’m not referring to you in particular, it’s an impersonal you)
I don’t see people bitching about the heavy reliance on the GNU toolchain.
I used to. Then I tried a GNU-less Unix for a bit, and I realised that GNU is really good, and there is a reason why most distros provide GNU.
I really, really hate these posts about systemd. Just use whatever you want, make your own distros if you want, contribute to the distros that do what you want. That’s the freedom that Linux and OSS gives you. You have the choices. But if some options are more popular than others, often times there’s a reason!
it’s his safe space :))
that’s just what they want you to believe… You should know that orange cats are just undercover CIA¹ agents.
