  1. Gotta "love" Nintendo for their bs. Hunt down everything for ridiculous IP reasons and yet they steal stuff from emulator scene to cash up in their whatever f their retro subscription thingy is called. Another level of greed 😂

  2. Nintendo is probably going after switch emulation because the switch 2 is basically a switch pro. With a little work the Yuzu, or Ryujinx code will likely be able to boot, and play full switch 2 games.

  3. I stopped using BSD back when it had problems with UEFI. Stopped using Debian before that back when they had some bug causing kernel panics on boot for a vanilla installation. Now I use voidlinux for production servers and desktops.

  4. The switch emulators are in a difficult space, because this is a very very complex program. You basically need full time devs to work on that, and thats why yuzu had a for-profit patreon to pay those devs… Ryujinx will likely live on depending on why the core devs did the work they did (hobby vs full time). The way it was designed was to be as accurate as possible which makes the design aspect easier, since you just copy the switch. So it should be easier to maintain and work for a longer life span than yuzu will.

    The true problem is you are asking people to do insanely hard work for free and deal with Nintendo who will legally ruin your life if they can.

  5. Proton is insanely powerful. I remember being on Manjaro on my desktop and unable to play Helldivers 2 (no listed Linux compatibility natively on Steam+Linux and "Windows only") I went in and forced Proton (latest stable) and it allowed me to install and play.
    It ended up playing faster and smoother than it did on windows 11/10.

  6. I think the money going to FreeBSD has something to do with how FreeBSD skirted around multiple high profile exploits that affected Linux this year. They do things differently and that seems to be to the benefit of the OS’s security.

  7. I'm impressed at the amount of info you managed to cram into a video in under 20 minutes. OK, guess Garuda just became my front-runner for replacing Win 10/11 (it's the only Arch-based ISO I've tried so far that can find all hardware). If the Yuzu and Citra incidents hadn't sealed the deal, this has. I will never support Nintendo again (though I may pick up a USED Switch 2 at Gamestop and donate to Mig 2 R&D). Considering all of the free games Epic gives out, a "Proton for Heroic" sounds very nice.

  8. my os will come with my custom scripts for sleep and wake with support for XOW the wireless dongle driver for all xbox controllers, and openrgb, the only rgb program you need, wake script disables all wake devices dynamically so no matter if you move ports on something it still cant magically wake the system, only the power button works to wake from sleep and its perfect and always works on arch lmao. the other 2 scripts just restsrt the sysd services for the apps in question and anyuone can do that when they know the problem, so here you go, frontlines of linux development advice

  9. The issue with Thunderbird on Android is that you don't have the plugins or the external bridge apps. I only use two accounts (Proton and OWA) and neither will connect without some non-vanilla tool. If they can solve these issues I'd be ecstatic though.

  10. I have read somewhere that FreeBSDˋs Bhyve technology is considered being used by Dell as a hypervisor of sorts for their corporate offerings. Basically what it means is that corporations using Dell can run highly securely any OS on their laptops. It should give better controls to admins watching over hundreds or thousands of laptops being deployed and used by employees.

  11. Nintendo has always been terrible about this. They shut me down over 20 YEARS ago when I was developing a version of Metroid (Metroid Classic) for DOS. Yes, DOS. They emailed my ISP at the time and froze all my assets.

  12. I wonder if the freebsd support is for making it run better on laptops that need to interface with mainframes. Since most of those mainframes could very well be running some kind of Unix instead of Linux.

  13. Раньше динамичнее смотрелось, видимо из-за того, что ведущий стоял и была видна жестикуляция.

  14. Concerning the FreeBSD funding (which is a good thing), considering the abstraction layers that allow linux drivers to be run on FreeBSD with little modification, maybe they should donate a chunk to the Linux projects in return for a more comprehensive driver set.

  15. You know more people and companies are really starting to HATE Windows 11 when major manufacturers are donating large sums over $500k USD to Linux and BSD, especially the latter, lol.

  16. Valve being a private company is exactly the reason they can make such long term plans which ends up being good for both the company and the users. Ws all around. I hope investors of public companies realize that quick profit isn't the way to go

  17. I'd like to see some successful social commentary or ironic critique videos for Nintedos behavior.
    Children drawing Mario or Zelda images, a Nintendo representative coming in and ripping the drawings apart. And while the children are crying the adults explain, that It's better to buy genuine Nintendo posters instead of drawing themselves.
    Children making sandcastles without genuine Nintendo forms and shovels. A Nintendo representative coming in stomping the sandcastle …

    Always remember: "You are a consumer. Your role is to buy all the wonderful products from your favorite brands and use those products who the brand companies intend you to. Do not think for yourself or outside the box. Don't get creative. Don't claim ownership for anything you buy, because only intellectual property rights are real ownership and only big companies own those (and keep can them)."
