i think wlroots does something similar too?

it would be neat if it supported the windows uxthemes like reactos.

it does look like reactos windows but better. damn, i wish i had the skills for such a project.

might be good for the potential switchers who need something very similar to windows, old computers that need to brainlessly run win32 software. deshitified windows for those who need it. normies orphaned by win10 who are not ready to learn linux headfirst for any reason. and all open source so you can actually trust your os.

this is what foss enables in spite of purists and copyrighters alike. i like it.

apologies are meaningless when it’s just virtue signaling, and only for europeans. best case scenario is you help us stop your empire from hurting us further, like really this time.

i wanna see they apologize to venezuela.

or brazil for trying to put a pro-us fascist in power.

or argentina for succeeding at it.

or maybe colombia, for threatening to kidnap their leader?

or mexico for all the bullshit?

maybe the entirety of the global south for starters…

why do usians only ever feel guilty about fucking with white european interests?

there’s usually translation or transliteration for foreign names and we use them instead. sometimes. it’s like nicknames, sometimes it catches.

a lot of people use the proprietary software not because they necessarily like it but because it’s industry standard and we have to since they cornered the market.

i personally only switched to linux after i left the field. photoshop ran at the time but it was janky enough i couldn’t do the work i needed to do with it!

i’m pretty sure orca slicer is native on linux.

that’s not my point. relying on old hardware as the de facto solution for a long term drought will eventually see them fail without replacement.

we will eventually not have old computers we can turn back to, and no new ones at a good price. sticking to old stuff is not the solution.

get that and other common specialty software like autocad and stuff to run reliably, and there would be even less of a barrier for people to switch. i wish valve sponsored more of this work beyond running games. i love that it does but most people’s bread and butter must come here.

you are right but to be fair fuck ai.

old computers eventually break.

some binaural audio scenes can get pretty impressive

ooh no, everything but china

plus they get to control and censor information much more tightly

you could probably get it running if you hated yourself enough.

🙄

if only we could put the ring in the right hands!

they are literally just shuffling shit around at this point aren’t they

and they say linux is complicated.
