Now we just need proper Linux phones as well.
I WANT TO INSTALL FLATPAKS ON MY ANDROID TABLET. ITS ALL I ASK.
Fair phone needs support for Graphene
Fairphone needs to take security seriously and add support for hardware security features, in order for that to happen. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112320854846225341
It would be a much taller order but support for PostMarketOS (a Linux distro meant for mobile) would be huge.
*Valve
True that, OP did Gabe dirty, Gabe tried selling Linux before it became mainstream
but, and correct me if I'm wrong, steam still does not support good graphics on linux. It still only runs on X11 and has no wayland support. So many linux users switch temporarily to windows for gaming only. Valve needs to make the adoption happen faster. They're the ones still holding gamers from switching from windows, not promote linux as you say. Not to mention tons of top games that still can only run on windows without any way around it (proton compatibility does not work on all games)
Honestly, I love windows 10 and windows 7 even more. I have had very little complaints with them and I miss 7 every day. But when support runs out for Windows 10 I'm switching. It seems every single day they come up with another stupid plan or "feature." Whether it's AI that's barely helpful or forcing me to use their software and services, I'm exhausted with the obnoxiously aggressive tactics to get me to use them.
Didn't Linus say once something like: the OS should not get in the way of the User and just launch there Programs and Manage Resources. This is my Main issue with Windows: all the popups, non scipable settings, and the New "features" are on by default
Or their current debacle where they are having constant screenshots of a person's computer
True this was my story. I never had in my mind any idea what linux was and never had the slightest desire to change from windows. I considered myself tech savy and able to do and change anything in windows until they forced my laptop hardware to find out that this can't be the only OS that works as a PC. With W10 end-of-life and after seeing what W11 has become, it's inevitable that the majority of the whole world will soon shift away from them to linux flavors such as POP OS or mint.
I can't tell if you folks don't realize this is true, not because Windows is bad, but because Windows + WSL is so good lol.
WSL is kind of a pain to use. I would prefer to use either native Linux or Virtualbox
This is just the second phase. Denial.
WSL is slower than a snail on a hot summer day
Can you tell me how? WSL1 isn't a true VM and breaks all the time on me and as far as I can tell WSL2 doesn't have any proper PCIE or USB passthrough. If I could solve those problems things would be better.
WSL is so garbage and an admittance from Microsoft that developers only put up with Windows due to corporate mandate. Nobody enjoys developing on Windows.
It's insane what a little bubble some of you folks live in. Someone told me the other day that storing pii on SharePoint in the EU was illegal and nobody was doing it. Plenty of developers LOVE Windows + WSL.
I feel like they could even manage to be a salesperson for OpenIndiana at this point
