Reddit also now has a lot of “features” I don’t want and hope Lemmy never gets. As for the wiki system though, that might be an interesting addition.

Can’t wait!

It’s already better than Reddit. If someone doesn’t want to use it, that’s their problem, not mine…

You’re one to talk about gaslighting.

Please you are the one supporting Russia’s fascist leadership. Putin is a right-wing nationalist to his core.

Ukraine’s history of getting fucked by Russia is well known. Ukraine is fighting for its future, not to go back to being Moscow’s bitсh. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine proves why NATO is needed.

Next war? There is a war right now and Russia started it.

Wait what happened to Lemmur

Hey as long as it works

As someone who never had a Wii U, I’m glad to know this exists

Depends on the use case. I used to think nano was stupid too until I tried to use it for real, and I realized that it is among the best designed editors I’ve ever used. Yes, it is more simple and don’t offer all the functionality of vim. It might be able to do a couple things vim can’t, but I would have to double check on that. (Like emacs, nano can re-wrap hard-wrapped text to a specific width, which I’m not sure is easy to do in vim.)

For certain edits or tasks, vim might end up being more trouble than it’s worth.

I guess so lol. I still use it when it’s the right tool for the job

used vim for like twenty years and then switched to nano

(Note for those who downvoted me: Get a life, you weirdos. I’ll use whatever editor I want.)

It’s because it’s decentralized. It sounds like you’re looking for a centralized platform

You’re right Steam was a big factor, but I think it’s more than just a possibility. It’s possible that it won’t happen, but overall I’m seeing this trend hold up over the years of things going more in the direction of open source. If you take the Steam Deck as an example, they wanted to create a platform that they can control. It wouldn’t have made sense for them to go to Microsoft for this and then pay licensing fees for the operating system driving their platform. Windows isn’t just inconvenient for companies, but it also has a long-running habit of angering developers and consumers.

So well, I believe what they mean is that there should be some kind of a single distribution and a single way of doing things under “Linux”. So I suppose that is the “solution” they propose?

Well this already happened, it’s called Ubuntu LTS. Developers have a stable target, and other distros can figure out what they need to do to make themselves compatible.

Well I’m an old Linux codger, so these things like, “Oh a particular game doesn’t work on Linux,” just don’t matter to me. My game library consists mostly of games I chose only because they are Linux native and I’m satisfied with what I have. Expecting Linux to run everything in the universe is kind of weird, like buying an Xbox and then complaining it doesn’t run PlayStation games. Like, geez, settle down…

Linux gaming right now is amazing beyond what I could have expected. Hundreds/thousands of well supported commercial games and hardware. It’s only going to grow in the future, probably to the point where eventually Linux will become the main platform.

but unless you can compile software for it

Well you can

Well I’ve been using Linux as my main desktop OS for so long I don’t even remember when it was not a seamless out-of-the-box experience. Like, 15 years ago?

In my opinion it already succeeded
