@n3m37h @Dudewitbow HDMI consortium decides to f around and find out if people really care re: displayport vs hdmi

@scratchandgame @Pantherina i only have an issue when they dont upstream any of the functionality they add… buuuutttt… a lot of the progress linux has made in recent years has been upstreamed evil corporation™ code so… i dunno… mixed blessing

@LunchEnjoyer all day im like ‘why are people running os/2 warp suddenly?’

@Dehydrated the car i drive to work is entirely proprietary!
but yeah, open source is awesome but not using something useful/good because of its license is just kinda shooting yourself in the foot IMO

@Dehydrated this is my pet peeve everytime i try to discuss anything about linux someone interrupts me about how SOME COMPONENT is proprietary
like yeah, the keyboard on the laptop is proprietary, so are all the ICs, come on…

@Dehydrated but something something proprietary! waa!
/s

@aluminium @ExLisper i mean technically, apple is unix based and android is too, the unix-based OSes have clearly overtaken all the other proprietary systems that popped up in the last 30 years, so there’s that

@hperrin @Dirk you can do this somehow and I even had it working at one point, but it was kinda a pain in the ass and I never redid it

@Rustmilian @just_another_person has nothing to do with this gnome however:

@Flaky @halm be nice if you could just essentially plug-in engines and swap them out etc
in theory they are all supposed to support the same standards

@atzanteol @just_another_person i have run into issues like ‘almalinux doesn’t work on this machine but centos does’
some distributions i think have started to remove support for some older hardware assuming nobody is using it (thats my theory)

@Aatube @KarnaSubarna give us the widgets

@Kultronx @JoMiran heh i would say it absolutely does not but Bitwig has a native linux version :)

@highduc @TCB13 GIMP now supports CMYK iirc so that excuse is gone and OpenOffice Calc supports PIVOT TABLES so I don’t want to hear finance dept tell me that one anymore :)

@limelight79 @gayhitler420 my only real nitpick with debian is that the package updates are too slow for my personal taste. for other people, maybe its perfect, but i think ubuntu has just a bit more bleeding edge without being unstable.
my 2 cents
ymmv

@TCB13 @lemmy_user_838586 he really wanted to say that to someone

@Chewy7324 seems like it would be easier to have programmers port it than fish

@jameskirk @tkk13909 I like nobara but it’s slightly harder to install than pop
