Quoting: LoudTechieSecure anti-cheat can be build in an open manner, but nobody has done it yet.

At the end I don't care for games that do not customers my freedom, especially on THEIR systems. Or does the game company pay me for getting my system compromised, while they also could do proper server side anti-cheat? My system is no gaming console, it is also a productive machine. And many other PCs of many other people are similar.

Quoting: Liam Squires-HandIt will, whoever comes after will continue it, just like the Online Safety Act.

Quoting: AdutchmanCan someone help me out? What does "older" mean here?

More older AMD GPUs switched over to the modern AMDGPU driver.

Quoting: seflasporinIt's not entirely clear this will even happen. Starmer is on his way out in the next month or two and the reception to this, even from child safety groups, has been pretty negative.

Quoting: SalvatosFinally some good news. Hopefully they block them for 16 and up soon as well.

Quoting: dibzWow, some easily offended folks in here

Anything that pulls source from something like github some jackass can compromise by having their keys stolen - or if they're just bored and feeling frisky.

So yes, modern development practices affect rolling distros more because they tend to use the latest and greatest all the time - which is not always great.

Take the XZ compromise not all that long ago, which released a new "stable" compromised version that actually made it on to user systems - y'all know the problem commit was only about a month old? That's a crazy short timeline.

Quoting: GerarderloperSo far non of my AUR packages have been touched, but I am waiting for the dreaded updates for any of them to come where suddenly a 'new' maintainer appears out of nowhere...

Quoting: SlaxerI find it very hard to believe that this wasn't planned by them years ago.

Quoting: mattaraxiaThe problem is they can't rethink it without essentially killing it.

The near complete lack of oversight and controls is basically the AUR's one feature that distinguishes it from everything else out there.

Quoting: clatterfordslimWhy is NTFS File System driver in Linux Kernel? NTFS has always and will continue to be rubbish as a file system/manager.

Quoting: RFSharpeMy favorite option is to invite the aliens to lunch.

Now I know what people are going to say, that a lot of people from Windows, who are making the jump to Linux, would have their games stored in NTFS. Get another 2TB drive I know prices are stupidly high, use Gparted to format it to BTRFS, Butterly smooth filing system, with compression. Go in as root after formatting it, then change permissions to your name. Then bring over all your games from your NTFS drive to your new BTRFS one.
Sounds simple, me typing it in a matter of fact way and someone who has used Linux for years, but for a new user, your average Joe/Jane ain't gonna know, unless they do their research on Linux first?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoAnd I was THIS close to try CACHYOS...
I guess I'll have to wait.

Quoting: suchThe minimum CPU requirement is actually PII 400MHz, so even this slowish PIII should be noticeably smoother for a number of reasons that go beyond raw clock speed.

Quoting: suchThat said, the ATI probably is the bottleneck in that configuration while the MX400 is closer to a sensible pairing.

Quoting: gbudnyHow well do Cursed Sands work on your PC?

Quoting: gbudnyI sent you the email message about the RPG game. Did you read it?

Quoting: MrBellesCurse this law, and curse the widely held lack of digital literacy!
