Organic Maps works well enough for me. Even for car travelling through Apple Car Play it’s reliable enough. I don’t know if there are better alternatives, but I can vouch for this one.

I only miss satellite pictures to facilitate my navigation as the map can be a bit too abstract…

I agree with you but I would still want numbers to go up a little bit, not down the way they are apparently.

For the free programs I use, I have a total of around 100$ to give every year. The more programs or projects I want to support, the less there is for each. Otherwise, I’d just become poorer and poorer.

For paid pograms and services, I’m also trying to not go for the cheapest but the ethically better ones.

I also have a 2 patreons to support creators who speak about FOSS.

I think you don’t have to give much, but you should always try to give something every year.

I don’t know anything about the specific computer you’re talking about, but usually the issues are with ARM.

Exactly! The good part of such a shortage is that old tech can stay relevant for far longer and devs will have to optimize more.

Sometimes, therés a lot of good in a bad situation.

I want great games, not necessarly more demanding ones. The Last of Us 2 is still the most beautiful game I’ve played and I don’t really need more if it means getting new hardware.

I’d also love to have a normal PS5 partition and a Linux one. This would be the best of both worlds, but I think I’m dreaming too much😇

Yes but if the only extension that breaks is important in your workflow, you’re still left with a sour taste.

That’s why, despite needing more extensions, I’ve only iept 3-4 which never break.

I’m not sure I know enough to be able to take a side, but I really enjoy Gnome even if having more customization option would be a bonus.

If Cosmic brings this without having to rely on extension, then I’m all for it.

People are gonna tell me to just use KDE, but I’ve never had a great experience with it for the few hours I’ve spent on it in desktop mode on my Steam Deck.

I’d love such a feature on Linux, but I don’t think it’s happening anytime soon.

I wish I also had screenshots of my desktops from back in the days. It would reflect my own evolution.

I’m happy to see that your experience was troublefree, but I wouldn’t want people to think that Linux is always smooth sailing as it clearly isn’t always the case.

To be honest, even if I love my Steam Deck and my other computers, nothing beats a Playstation when it comes to easy gaming.

It runs great on Steam Deck and, according to what I read, you just have a manipulation to do if you want to play offline. Although it wasn’t annoying enough for me to do it as I could just played using my phonés hotspot when not at home.

You should definitely play it if you get it for cheap.

Proton DB is great for such questions.

Oh yeah I fully agree that no game can satisfy everyone.

It’s just that, before playing it myself, I never heard a bad thing about it so I might have expected too much out of it.

Still I enjoyed it, even if it’s not a game I’ll recommend to everyone.

What is the difference with Lemmy? What’s better and worse with Piefed?

It’s a great game, but not the masterpiece everyone told me.

I’m starting the Metro series instead of you then. Enjoying 2033 even if characters and storytelling is a bit stereotypical for now.

I checked and both Heroic and Firefox are using MB/s so at least the indicated speeds are different. Leaving the Deck on would be really annoying as it would mean not playing any other game at the same time, but I’ll try downloading on another computer I can just leave turned on. I’ll see how much time I need to download just one game. Apparently Wolfenstein would take under 5.5 hour according to Heroic…

I just think it’s annoying that if you turn off your computer the download resumes from 0% on Heroic…

Well for arm it might come but since you can’t really upgrade these new Macs, they are less interesting in a way…

I use a MacBook Pro 2012 as a secondary computer and I find it very exciting to install Linux on beautiful hardware like these old Macs.

It’s surprizingly Linux friendly (except reseting the wifi once a year). I don’t know why but previously I never thought you could install Linux on a Mac😅

I think it’s MB/s and I ain’t sure about Firefox.

The thing is that downloading the offline installers allows me to not do it all at once as through Heroic I’d need so many hours and turning the Deck off makes me start from 0 again.

But I’d love to just download through Heroic😇
