Don’t know what’s special about this one. Ikey Doherty though is well known for starting new distros. Managing to get them into a relatively stable and semi-popular state. Then leaving and starting a new distro. Seems very capable. No idea what happens behind the scenes for him to keep dropping out from the distros he founds
I remember when Solus (I think it was called Evolution or Evolve OS first) and people were calling Ikey leaving the project to start a new one eventually. Always happens
It’s funny to frame it as bravery. Maybe that’s clickbait strategy. Regardless desktop Linux is great. Only a handful of kernel level anticheat games are a problem. No you don’t need adobe suite for your YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok influencer aspirations. Even open source applications that don’t stack up to Adobe or Avid or whatever exceed what’s needed to succeed in social media. More than enough for what amounts to solo projects
I’m seeing people online talking about how Genshin Impact has sucked on the Pixel 10 all these months. That’s insane. 5 year old game that’s incredibly popular. I don’t get how Google can be so comfortable being so mediocre as a vertical integrator. Apples transition to internal CPU and later GPU went way smoother than Googles. Apple going from powerpc to x86 and then x86 to arm felt like they both had less growing pains then when google stayed in ARM but started using their in house Tensor chips with mali graphics and now powervr
Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game
Darksiders bundle and Halo Master Chief Collection.
Sifu. Not that old but cheap enough
I feel like things in the consumer software space for Linux is getting there like desktop Linux ~10 years ago. Waydroid is solid. Android translation layer is in development. Valve with Steam machines.
Krita and GIMP look to be in good positions. Kdenlive doesn’t crash all the time anymore. Can have good consumer interest synergy between regular Linux/SteamOS/Pop_OS if they ever get big selling hardware and Linux phones
Android apps needed as part of the proposition now. But eventually over many many years there should eventually be a good ecosystem of Linux native phone apps
The worst rent seekers come for everything
I’ve tried running it twice full-time and ended up going to Kubuntu. My bad on judging KDE Plasma from my experience with it when Plasma 5 was new. I just used Gnome all this time. A decade later KDE is actually what I was hoping Cosmic would become someday. Really polished up compared to early Plasma 5 days
I still keep pop_os on an old laptop to monitor progress. I like it. Just needs a lot more fleshing out
