  • Is € 251.88 the estimated loss in revenue? I would like to say that it only makes sense if you assume the user will be on the platform either way, instead of just not paying and leaving. However, my experience with others makes me believe they will take whatever option to get to what they want.

    I think it's a situation for policy but, at least here in the US, our policy makers aren't in the ethical or learned position to be effective.

    What I'm saying is, the boat has holes and I'm concerned.

  • Oh Snap! Canonical now doing manual reviews for new packages due to scam apps

  • I'm using Mint and new to it. Does the Mint app store have more security or scrutiny? I'm cautious as most things are lucky to have one or two reviews listen. Many are zero though and it's not quite clear to me yet how to tell if things are from an official source or if they had review.

  • Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time?

  • Does the cloud gaming work pretty well? I'm trying to consider how to move my main rig to Mint, but also not lose my three years of game pass. I think dual boot is likely but feels purpose defeating haha.

  • ONLYOFFICE Docs 8.0 Improves Collaboration and Adds New UI for Plugins

  • This is it's strength in my opinion. Libre isn't great if you just want it to work coming from a Windows environment. I've tried quite a few options and this was my go to, it had far more of a friendly time with Word documents then Libre or others. Although I will say W3 was probably nicest but their sketch past of looking at people files and their local laws made me delist from my comparison list.

  • Cliff Bleszinksi says Microsoft would be ‘smart’ to let him consult on Gears of War | VGC

  • Sounds more like he's willing to offer input than actually interested in being deeply involved. Makes sense, the article even calls his tag CliffyB but I remember many years ago he said he doesn't like that name. I got the vibe, like I do from a lot of people who reach the upper areas of game dev, that he was not too keen on it all anymore.

    That all being said, I would be far more interested In a gears where he had offered some design input.

  • Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  • Sorry I vented on you lol. WPS Office is one I liked a lot but I learned they are following local laws and so have had instances of invading privacy when using any cloud connecting aspect. It made me not trust them even outside of cloud use. It's very very well out together though. I wish it weren't something I felt insecure using because it is really nice.

    I consider Only Office to be my goto at the moment. I still have more to try though, more obscure ones. It has only bugged on me once when I resized the window a lot, greeting me with an all white window with no UI.

    Libre I tried a lot to make me love it. It just feels designed by someone who wants to make a point against MS. I did also try a complete overhaul to adjust the UI a lot but even the functionality of it just doesn't seem to do as well when working closely with MS Office users.

  • Why is Libre Office always the goto? I've been trying every MS Office alternative and Libre is way down on this list. It doesn't compare. In my searching, I even found video of the creators seeming more keen to (rightly) blame MS for compatibility issues. Meanwhile alternatives just work with the reality and reduce differences in exchanging files from the world's most common option. Plus, and this is more personal, Libre Office is dog doo ugly. Ditto for Gimp.

    As someone newer to Linux, people really don't emphasize enough the need to find alternative software that fits into one's life. It's all fine to say it's all just new setups and once you learn them your good, but most world interactions with tech that isn't your own will be Windows. Why fight the stream when you Don't have to? There are lot of alternate Office programs is what I am saying and some are almost as good as massively funded MS Office.

  • Brave to end 'Strict' fingerprinting protection as it breaks websites

  • Since everyone else is piling on negatively, I appreciated your friendly reminder.

  • What's your favourite RSS reader for Linux?

    Jump

  • I didn't know Thunderbird did this. I was trying to think why people would use it who have all their email in one web page already. I use Proton and it seemed unnecessary and yet everyone on Linux seems to use it. I love a good RSS reader though!

  • Heroic Games Launcher v2.12.0 brings lots of improvements and some fun experiments

  • If you like Diablo, try NoX. I think it's only on GoG but I could be wrong. There is a fan patch in the comments there to get it all working 100%.

  • I watched the first season and liked it. The fan service didn't feel so bad (I enjoyed it!). Season twos portrayal by half way through of an old enemy felt too casual to me and I tapped out. Is season 3 worth a whirl of two stopped me?

    Looks fun though.

  • Ohh, okay. Thanks for explaining it to me. I misunderstood.

  • Doesn't it show +0.05% Arch? I was under the impression SteamOS was tracked as Arch. So if 0.15% is a blend of Arch and SteamOS-Arch, it seems to be growing in quite a few ways.
