The only reason we still have this plugin paradigm is because that’s how N64 emulator culture evolved over time. That’s deliberate though, there’s no “mess” here.
I can easily download a cycle-accurate N64 emulator that depends on zero plugins. However, being the N64, it obviously takes a lot of power to emulate in such an accurate way.
Well, if you look at my downvotes and read the upvoted reply below, you’ll see you do not exist! Yes, apparently regular users do not have hardware that requires any out of tree drivers. Your very reasonable 2.5gbe card probably does not exist, it’s all a product of your imagination! Bazzite is perfect!
if you need specific drivers that arent in a generic kernel you’re already out of everyday user territory even on a normal distro.
People will say some absurd statement like this one and then pretend to be confused when Linux adoption fails to grow faster.
That’s why we got dem tar and dnf
On Fedora, sure. Not Bazzite, on Bazzite you’d need distrobox to use it - users barely understand what Linux is, good luck with distrobox instructions.
I’ve also been able to find 99% of what I need through discover.
If what you need is Discord and Chrome, sure.
When you need specific drivers things change dramatically. And some packages technically exist as Flatpaks, but with permission issues that no regular user is ever fixing
I’d say their software limitations are the reason they failed, not the keyboard. In fact, people really liked the final BlackBerry devices with Android and a keyboard, but at that point the company was already gone.
But while iPhones were at the boom of Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, iBeer and using Skype, and Google’s Android looked like ass but already had ad-infested versions of the same titles, BlackBerry had… corporate messaging? A really robust email app, I guess?
I hate to go against the flow here, but I absolutely do not recommend Bazzite as a desktop OS. Surely as a living room or handheld PC thing, but not your main OS.
Immutable distros create a lot of pain when you need a package outside of the also problematic Flatpak world, and whilst there are ways to install them on Bazzite, regular users with no Linux knowledge would scream.

I rooted my LG C1 and blocked system updates. I use a homebrew channel to download external packages.
Good luck pushing this crapware on me.
But the prompt is the creative aspect.
Please add a warning before typing such non-sense, I was drinking coffee and almost spit it out in my monitor.
I’d rather make creativity more accessible
I’ve seen beautiful artwork done with charcoal on paper, some of the most timeless beautiful pieces ever written were made on a deathbed, creativity will always flow from someone talented regardless of their financial limitations. AI doesn’t make creativity more accessible, AI uses an absurd amount of power and stolen work to make you feel better pretending the prompt you generated means that creativity is yours.
The AI bros can’t draw, so they love the idea their computer can do it for them.
The AI bros can’t sing, so they love the idea their computer can do it for them.
The AI bros can’t write, so they love the idea their computer can do it for them.
The AI bros can only consume, and AI is great for generating a lot of endless content lacking any depth.
Nope, that was a massive misinterpretation that DDG clarified many times already.
Don’t worry, no matter how much you explain it Reddit and Lemmy will still act like Ubuntu is the devil and worse than Windows 11.
It’s by far the most commonly used distro, specially for beginners, which means Lemmy must hate it to protect their delusion that using Linux makes them special or superior or intellectuals, when in reality.
And I say all that as an Arch user, btw, who doesn’t like how Ubuntu’s packages are maintaned and shared.
Is it going to have another terrible name that’s unjustifiably confusing?
Xbox Edition X One or something
They already had this type of local processing for years, I believe it was introduced on iOS 9 (perhaps earlier). You can already search “mountain” or “Eiffel tower” or “dog running” and it will work. So if they’re now doing AI processing externally, they’re certainly doing it for different reasons. My bet is they’re collecting personal data regardless of what the ToS claims, and that they’re for sure training AI models on users’ pictures.
I suggest you actually read the documentation about the things you link. As explained, the “open” Nvidia drivers are actually a tiny open component around a proprietary closed blob that actually drives the GPU.
Even hypervisors can have software bugs - running GBA games on the ARM9 core in the DSi is possible and even closer to “actual hardware” than a FPGA, but there are still weird side cases and glitches that only happen on this setup rather than actual GBA hardware.
FPGAs aren’t some magical hardware clone that bypasses software issues.
