I mean the difference between them and they employees is that they can sell their restaurant when they want to quit at a good profit while their employees have to leave with only the clothes on their back.
That’s quite radical. But I agree, speculation is a big problem and dysfunctional.
I think the CCP are just trying to do what they think is best for the welfare of their people.
Set up a systemd service.
Nationalize your enterprise? Or better yet, convert it to a cooperative and give the profits directly to the employees?
That’s why they hate things like welfare or full employment. They need a desperate army of reserve labor to keep wages low.
Out of all these studios I suppose I like Microsoft’s games the most, but I still think it’s bad that the regulators didn’t shoot down this merger from the view of competitiveness.
I don’t think the gaming market is healthy when only a handful of corporations like Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA Games and SquareEnix hold what I assume to be 75% of the gaming AAA market. It restricts creativity and stifles competition and the ones paying the price are going to be us consumers.
Even worse if they go and start vendor locking games to Windows, which sucks for us Linux gamers or Xbox which sucks for Playstation gamers.
I love this guy! He has made so many more insightful videos about similar topics.
And another thing you can add to that fact is that Windows users gets to enjoy the best of the Linux apps. VLC, Gimp, Audacity, OBS, etc. That’s a big reason why Windows is even usable for an average user.
Around half my applications on Windows were FOSS even before I moved to Linux and I used them for a long time. The proprietary apps I did use, I don’t really miss. I also doubt anybody actually likes having to install drivers on Windows or browse the web for apps. It’s just extra bullshit.
Windows users? I mean the reason why Linux users proclaim the superiority of Linux is because Windows users always say that they want to leave Windows but XYZ doesn’t work or Linux, making Linux look like it’s feature poor which isn’t the case.
Android is the evil version of Linux or the anti-Linux if you will.
Yes I think you’re right, there’s probably a significant overlap in the target audience of GOG and Linux users. I guess the reason why GOG hasn’t released a Linux version of GOG Galaxy might be because a large portion of their catalogue is Windows and doesn’t want to include something like Proton or Wine support. I don’t think it absolves them from criticism however.
I love this comment! Yeah it’s true, I’m the arch linux user you’re describing! So is there a good middle ground according to you? Where we can have faster updates, high application support and high customization without the downsides of arch that you describe?
If you have several kernels you might want to disable the fallback kernels. You do so in the .preset files in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/
But yeah this is the downside of using flatpaks. That’s why I think it’s better to avoid flatpaks and other similar sandbox environments. I know the Linux community are desperate for the increased stability and supposed benefits to security but you’re paying the price in worse performance and high disk usage.
Personally it hasn’t worked well for me. Currently I can’t even use it since it crashes my system.
Well it depends on your DE. If you run Gnome, you will probably be fine. If you run Plasma you can run into problems but supposedly Plasma 6.0 is going to release with full Wayland support at the end of this year (or beginning of next one) so lets hold our thumbs for that.
Personally I’ve ever only used Gimp even when I was on Windows. I wonder what gimp could possibly even do better to compete with photoshop. There’s also krita of course which is very popular but I’ve never tried it, gimp has just been everything I’ve ever needed from a drawing program.
I use Lutris to install my GOG games, Battle.NET, EA launcher, and Ubisoft Play. It’s a very simple solution.
Sure you can argue that your financial situation is a bit better, but the power dynamics between yourself and owners is still the same regardless if you make a lot or a little and more importantly, salaries change. When your job isn’t considered competitive anymore you’ll be in the same boat or if you get laid off or you get sick, etc.
