For some unexplained reason this is making me unreasonably angry…

I would be very surprised if they don’t go there eventually, and I’d even bet they’ll try at some point to force lifetime pass owners to switch to subscription

If you ever think you’ve found a corpo that can be trusted, no you haven’t

This has no impact on anyone that actually paid for Plex.

Yet.

They’re going down the pathway to enshittification and very few companies that start down that dark path turn away before they destroy everything good they’d made for everyone, free and paid alike. Maybe that won’t happen here, but from all of the times I’ve seen that same song and dance, I would be finding alternatives to switch to, personally. But, it’s obviously up to you to decide your own comfort level if you want to start now or wait to see how far they go

This makes me glad I went with Jellyfin for my home server

Yeah, those of us who’ve gotten familiar with the terminal often forget that it generally lacks discoverability and getting to the point of knowing how to find things in it can be painful and annoying.

Not enjoying the terminal isn’t a failing. GUIs exist for a reason.

Yeah, it’s… It’s a pretty bizarre reason to downvote someone, but if that’s what they want to do, nobody is going to stop them from wasting their time

Microsoft, you already got me to leave Windows, you don’t have to keep sending me reminders, I wasn’t at risk of wanting to come back…

I’ve only had to use Flatseal a couple times to fix wonky permissions for Flatpaks, and I’m not even sure what Bottles has to do with them since Wine has nothing to do with Flatpak to the best of my knowledge

To be fair, I’ve not been involved with it at all, this is just based off what I’ve read recently.

In any event, their anticheat supports Linux just fine and plenty of other games that use it work perfectly fine in Linux

Actually, for most of them, the anticheat works fine on Linux, they just choose not to enable support

And from what I’ve heard they rendered their build all but unplayable a good while before dropping support entirely.

Now they don’t even need to maintain their own. The community will fix the issues through Wine and Proton if Valve doesn’t do it themselves.

So really, their only excuses are low player count (self inflicted, and at this point companies pulling shit like this is what’s slowing adoption probably as much as fear and unfamiliarity) and cheating (which, why would someone build cheats via Linux if most they’d be making them for are using Windows? Which has rampant cheating all on its own, so their solution is bullshit and useless to begin with)

I didn’t know I could simultaneously feel fear, respect, and revulsion for one person, but those people running LFS for prod certainly have earned that

That’s just based on how many people open that page on Distro watch, it has pretty much nothing to do with the actual use or popularity of a distro. You didn’t really think MX Linux spent a few years as the most popular distro, right?

“It’s just programming errors, nothing to do with Rust”, aka the language that they’ve been acting like will solve all programming errors

Why would they need to overhaul their game stack? Rust would run just fine on Linux if they didn’t block it intentionally.

They’re on that lie still?

Cool, cool. I’ve got plenty of games to choose from to care about lazy lying assholes who can’t be bothered to come up with a better excuse than that for why they irrationally hate Linux

How is the Union that gave its people the GDPR is the same Union pulling this?

Then it would really suck to be you at that point

And then they would just keep hitting him for his defiance

And this is precisely why I won’t bother with the game, they made a conscious choice to exclude Linux when not doing that costs them practically nothing
