Het bedrijf benadrukt verder dat het op vrijdag nog wel gewoon bereikbaar is voor klanten. Werknemers die dan moeten werken, krijgen hun 'ontwikkeldag' op woensdag.

Even just reading this description makes me kind of jumpy. That's how memorable that video was I guess.

Instead of calling them a bootlicker you could try to explain why you feel they are wrong.

This is actually a really good development. So far I have found that the best way to run non-Steam games is to add them to Steam because using Proton outside of Steam is not recommended.

So if Steam ever becomes worse for whatever reason, it is good to know there will be alternatives.

Included with Prime. How is that free?

Good to see they have an AppImage now. Setting it up on Linux was a hassle when I last played it around a year and a half ago.

Agreed, I have Spotify premium for the convenience, but I have no illusions about where that money goes, which is why I go to concerts and buy vinyl records when possible.

This what I do and it works pretty flawlessly. I've never used Bottles or Lutris since I started adding the games to Steam. It also takes care of controller support.

It's the other way around. Dense cities consume less energy for transport per capita, so they do not look like this.

Examples

I have found that some games that are problematic on Windows actually run better on Linux through Proton. Performance in general can be slightly worse or slightly better depending on the game, but these days it definitely rivals Windows. That said, if you like multiplayer games; those usually do not work well on Linux, especially when they have anticheat. Also, native Linux versions are often broken, the Windows version through Proton usually works better.

Can't speak to the GoXLR, you might be able to find some info on linuxmusicians.com. I got my Tascam audio interface and my Mooer GE200 working out of the box though (with less latency than on Windows).

I would never buy such games in the first place. If a singleplayer game doesn't have an offline mode I'm not interested.

I'd stick with PopOS because it is noob-friendly and makes installing Nvidia drivers a breeze compared to a lot of other distros. If you ever feel more comfortable with Linux you can still make the switch to something else, but I don't think there will be many reasons to do so as long as you like PopOS and get everything working the way you want.

In the meantime you can just read about other distros and if you come across a good reason for switching, you can consider it then.
