might be better than most but they can see your metadata and will hand it over to authorities if given a subpoena
@@jordana.f.4422 While likely true, this kind of thing is almost always better for privacy from ad-ridden corporations than actual governments
As long as there's due process in getting that data, I don't see the problem for 99.99% of people. It's nice having an email where if you have an issue with your account, you can actually get in contact with a real human that has the power to help. With all other the big name email companies, you're lucky if you can solve your problem with whatever automatic help system they have, let alone ever talk to a human. So many things are locked behind email, losing access to it can be a nightmare. @@jordana.f.4422
apple has ALWAYYS gave bad products and people kept telling me " no u are wrong" naw i am 100% right.
Burner phone-NOT carried nor operated to the same location as your normal phone (shielded normal phone prior to relocation)-and Google email for proper obfuscation, is the way for privacy.
A bit frustrating, yes.
Relatively 'secure' anonimity, yes.
(Also: purchased gmail accounts for temporary use).
3:10 After Unity got an unprecedented amount of hate for proposing an install-based fee, Apple's only response is "hold my beer"
I'm a bit embarrassed how for 0.1s I thought you are talking about Unity DE.
alttttstoreeee
Wouldn't Apple have been saying, "Hold my white wine."??
Except this time, it's Apple, so they can do whatever the fk they want and nothing that people want or say will have an effect on their decisions.
Someone should let Flathub know that it's apparently impossible to make a successful app repository without taking 30% and preventing your users from having control of their devices.
All prevention of "sideloading" should be outlawed.
Yep
Even on consoles?
Explain how limiting the feature set of a machine benefits the end user.
Consoles are a cancer and only exist to be restrictive PCs. @@tablettablete186
@@tablettablete186 yes especially consoles
@@christopheriman4921 Interesting take... must say... I 100% agree!
The fact that a company is still allowed to own a computer they sell to you for the price of a kidney is insane. I wish the elderly regulators would realize that a phone is just a smaller computer, and treat them as such.
Customers also need to realize this
Can't really stop a company from putting the prices they want on things like laptops, we just need people to be aware of the actual quality of the product and practices of the companies they're buying from
@@DiversionG Indeed. I don't want to be forced to purchase cheaper hardware if a more expensive version would provide what I want better.
@@DiversionGThat wasn't the point of the original comment. The point was once you buy a piece of hardware, it should be up to you how you use it and what you put on it.
Apple has an anti-competitive “walled garden” corporate tactic that includes everything from locking us out of software choices, to actively preventing “right to repair” on the hardware itself.
@@DiversionGI'm saying that they can't make the argument that the software subsidizes the hardware. Those companies that sell you rock bottom TVs that come with a bunch of baked in ads can only get away with the nearly free hardware, because they'll get recurring revenue. But Apple obviously doesn't do that, so no argument for "oh we need to keep control of the device so that we don't lose out on revenue from a subsidized product" is completely null. They have no logical argument for keeping control.
The EU must send a message (a multi-million one) to Apple to make them rethink their strategy. A system like Android , where you opt-in to sideloading apps , accepting with it the inherent risks, would be a good solution....
Why not use Android in the first place? I don't get why so many people even bother with Apple.
But Apple does not what that. They want to leech money from app developers instead.
it would be so funny to see the judge in court like "remember it's this or we take 50% of your global revenue lol good luck"
Not multi-million. They would earn waaaaaaaaay more from the practice than this fine. The fines for companies like these have to be multi-billion to matter
@@Dosenwerfer Apple devices usually provide a clean and reliable experience as long as you are comfortable with the "Apple" way of doing things. There's also quite a few applications on iOS that have no Android equivalent. And, finally, application store "buy in" is a thing and moving to a new ecosystem is expensive if you rely on a lot of paid applications (especially if you have permanent licenses that are no longer sold anymore).
It's so disappointing that people clamor for Windows on a handheld. I feel like they don't know what they are asking for. Steam has done so much to make their game mode friendly and easy
@@JB-mm5ffyour comment is pointless.
@@JB-mm5ff"take alternatives to heart or complain later" the alternative being the bloated Windows 11, absolutely not fitted for a handheld as light as the Ayaneo...?
Because I'm sorry but the only alternative here is Linux compare to Windows and Valve is the only company having a linux distro for its handheld.
So unless the Ayaneo gets its own Linux distro, there is no viable "alternative".
Valve is the only company to bet on Linux right now. So if they ever reach a monopoly, I don't think nobody would ever be in their right to complain because it seems neither companies nor gamers want to bet on something that would be in their best interest.
I remember Windows on mobile. I never used it, but I have looked it up.
The steamdeck actually uses a windows compatibility layer to run games, so you’re essentially using windows on it anyway. Valve just didn’t want to pay the full licence fee for windows. Win 11 isnt bloated, its still the best gaming platform and practically every commercial games dev uses it as the priority platform.
i am sorry 90% of all my friends have no issues with their steam decks(most of them have one) nor have they ever, they are not particularly tech savvy and it shows, a child could operate a steam deck, as opposed to a fully fledged pc I would not allow my kid on due to the risk of breaking it, some things are better suited to certain needs and simplicity is needed for any "console" windows does not provide such simplicity, nor does it empower the user to do what they want with their device. i don't know what made you dislike valve, but looking at microsoft and their takes on not only competition in the software market but other product manufacturers to begin with id much rather take valve's approach and support them.@@JB-mm5ff
The EU should just put a 50% sales tax on iPhones until Apple has a sideloading system at least as good as Androids.
Or just ban them from selling in the EU until they comply. Realistically it's likely they'll be significantly fined already
@@Ztaticify when the vast majority of top 10% income people, including politicians, use iphones outright banning them is not going to happen.
Honestly at 50% Apple will probably just shrug and carry on, but year after year they will lose market share. The goal isn't to change Apple, it's to get people to switch to android or other alternatives.
That would just make the people buying iPhones poorer and angry at the EU
@@hundvd_7I know no one who is not already angry at the EU and i live here... (e.g. look at all the farmer protests..)
@@hundvd_7Who cares? Let them be punished for buying Apple c*ap.
This is why despite my strong dislike of Google and their business practices, I still gladly use Android. The issues that made me switch from iOS back in 2015 are all still there.
2010 for me, Once ICS was out so was I off the apple ecosystem.
iPhone 4 days.
What about GrapheneOS?
@@bbrainstormer2036 still need Google services no?
If both the kernel merge by wine and that unifed proton runtime actually get adopted Linux will be a really good platform for gaming. Just in time for Windows 10 EOL.
I am gaming on linux exclusively. Everything runs fantastic.
The only game i had to refund was Starfield. So Linux even helped me to dodge that bullet 😀
If Apple charge me for every free user over the 1m mark I’m going to pull my app from the EU App Store and push it to every single one of those 3rd party app stores that arise. What the fuck are they thinking??
Yeah, it’s absolutely insane. I’m unclear as if it’s just any install over the first million or every install, but in both cases, it’s absolutely unjustified and insane
It’s the opposite, they are charging if you leave. Obviously anticompetitive and they will get fucked for it.
They will charge you even if you app is on 3rd party store😢
Sadly it isn't like that, Apple also takes fees and has the right to approve Third-Party app stores. So the fee is there still(as I understand if via theo t3)
I thought the fee was only for the external app stores.
The last time I was this early, Apple was still an innovative company.
It still is. Bad practices don't mean no innovation. They have the best laptops, best displays, best phones and best tablets. You can say that they have anti consumer practices and anti competitive practices but that doesn't take away that they are an innovative company. I personally only hate thier cult like fans who still put up with this crap.
@@Eva-eo1zuApple Silicon is not innovative ?
@@shlokshah5379 I guess I see what you mean, but for me best also includes the feeling of not being treated as cattle. Convenience and freedom is a balancing act, but I will always err on the side of freedom.
But yeah, the company is way worse than the product itself.
First time, huh?
@@shlokshah5379 Remember Apple saying "8gb of ram is like 16gb of ram in a PC"? That statement alone invalidates all Apple products and credibility. Apple can't say stuff like that while still keeping any serious reputation.
I actually think the disagreement in the Wayland protocol spec is healthy. This means this is being discussed actively and the final product will cover all stakeholders concerns. When things don't go that way is when people fork projects and create fragmentation.
I'm also happy that they are finally tackling remote desktop. This was something that X11 was a leader in every aspect. I hope Wayland creates primitives that can maintain or even improve the low bandwidth requirement of X over SSH.
+1 on both points!
Linux: Hey there! From Windows, Mac users to Software enthusiasts, we offer variety of distros.
Apple: We want dumb customers.
I don't think Dev's like any one of these options tbh. Well at least in linux we have app images and flatpacks which don't lock you down.
Or...apple customers want their shit to work without having to fiddle with it endlessly. I use both and have for many years. There is no Linux desktop distro that comes close to apple... period.
@@dragonballjiujitsu Have you tried using external monitors with macOS? That 💩 is nasty...
@@dragonballjiujitsuAllowing to install apps outside of the App Store doesn't complicate anything for dumb users but enables many more possibilities for people who care about it
@@cameronbosch1213 I have 2-3 times and have never had any issues.
My next Phone will be an Android, I am sick of apple’s anti consumer policies
The main reason I had multiple iPhone phones in the past was because of Apple's "generous" life cycle of updates. I made use of it, some models I used for a full 6 years.
This advantage SEEMS to be gone now, Android manufacturers like Google (pixel line) and Samsung (as of the newly released S24 family of products), not to mention Fairphone, are promising longer span of updates.
I am using Android as of last year. The grass is still green here, and f-droid is absolutely amazing. Come over, water is warm and the gate is open.
I switched from Samsung to Apple a few years ago and I am happy. However, I do miss the control of old Android.
One concern I have is that I felt Google and Samsung were both data mining and spying on me. Apple felt more privacy focused.
Anybody know if that’s a valid take?
@@utubes720 AFAIK yes that take is absolutely valid.
You CAN make android better for privacy than ios, but by default it is much, much worse.
Apple isn't perfect in terms of respecting your privacy, but for most people the effort (and what you have to let go) to have android be more respecting than ios is "too much". So if you want to not have to do anything extra ordinary, iOS is hands down better.
@@prgnify you mean installing roms?
LineageOS +plus gapps NOT from the Google Apps Store. Perhaps some pirated apps. A firewall.
IT IS A NIGHTMARE TO CONFIGURE, but once all is proper, you are good-to-go.
Apple not surprising us with its relentless hypercapitalism
next thing eu should do is force phone makers to have bootloaders unlocked and allow users to install os of there choice as is on pc
Why do you want the government to force anyone to do anything? Why don’t you just buy from companies that provide what you actually want like a pinephone? Like the reason these alternatives don’t exist isn’t because governments are not powerful enough, its literally because you wont buy from the smaller companies and fund the features you want to see.
@@ghost-user559 I think that having a Linux powered flagship phone is better than a puny PinePhone, as noble the project is
@@dnawalahmed2979 I agree with this statement in theory but it is essentially exactly what Android is, and yet it’s still a proprietary mess you have to completely remove core functionality from in order to get any resemblance to Linux at all
@@ghost-user559 show me small company phone that runs full version of arm64 linux that has modern specs? one that is close to last year flag ship. Can you, maybe I haven't seen one yet.
Point is, when you phone goes out of support you can't get patches for it and then what was perfectly good phone goes to trash. I bought the phone I want to do with it what I want
@@fulconandroadcone9488 Exactly my point, the projects that exist now are NOT top of the line and do not have modern specs or top of the line features because you and millions and billions of other people don’t actually want to support their products until they are perfect, and so they have no money to spend on developing that product that you actually don’t want to buy from them. See how that works?
And by law you already CAN modify anything that you buy. If you want to hack a boot loader or install a separate chipset or literally any modification you want, that’s already protected by law. What you’re actually asking for is for the same company who is responsible for your flagship phone existing, because they are a profitable business, to simultaneously provide the means to make their products less competitive and less profitable just so you don’t have to learn any new skills to modify it. See how that isn’t really possible? Either they make money to develop a better product or they don’t, and the product you wanted doesn’t exist to begin with, but you can’t have the most advanced technologies and products on earth for free.
I don't think apple customers realize how supporting this company is hurting a lot of people along the way. Imagine a future with an even bigger market share than they have now, how bad they will treat their partners and how much money they will take from their customers. For me, it doesn't justify the "apple products just work" argument. The locked in strategy is insane. And when, for example, canonical does 0.5% of that, people go crazy and some even go buy a mac as "protest". Crazy times!
I appreciate you covering the Apple story. It's a great reminder why it's important to use open source projects!
Oh my God, what the hell is apple doing? Using apple products is like living in a dictatorship country by choice.
Yeah, I just went for another Android phone instead of going to Apple again. I'm not buying anymore Apple products again.
nothing is simple with apple, it always has a but in it.
Adobe, seriously... Step up your game and port your apps to Linux... I ditched Windows and if need native Lightroom I use MacOS emulation, but it's so slow that I am considering buying mac mini just to have Lightroom and GarageBand. But as much as I like MacOS and some of their apps, I absolutely hate Apple executives and their practices...
If only they did so, the market share would skyrocket…
Is Darktable off the table as a Lightroom alternative?
@@lemonline3719 darktable is not an alternative to anything, really. I wish people stop assuming that if an app pretends to be in the same category as some commercial solutions it automatically makes it so. No,.Gimp is not Photoshop alternative, Darktable is not an alternative to Lightroom, LibreCAD is not an alternative to AutoCAD etc... Darktable is especially painful - it can't even import my existing photo library, let alone be efficient at any basic tasks. Even Lightroom via web browser is 1000s of times better than darktable (well..at least WORKS!).
@@lemonline3719 censorship on this channel, I see... So rather than explaining. - simple answer - NO, darktable is not an alternative to Lightroom or any other app.
@@lemonline3719Yes, the results are worse, and their philosophy is make the users learn an impossible UX instead of making the UX usable
I didn't love flatpack as implemented, but if it solves fragmentation and provides a reliable way for developers to package and sell for Linux, I am all for it.
Nah it doesn't it just adds one more pacjaging Format that somehow manages to be garbage and badly documentes
The only way the EU commission could save the last spark of respect I have for them is to say "Ik! No! Seriously, no! We will never approve this sh… How dare you to even ask us to give our approval to this? Go back to the corner and be ashamed of yourself, Apple! And then you rewrite everything and do it properly! We are seriously disappointed in you..." because this is the only way how to talk to a childish company like Apple. This is the way!
The EU should start charging Apple (on top of the taxes) a 30% fee per sold device and service, and let's see how Apple will react.
A comparison of Bottles / Heroic / Lutris / PlayOnLinux would be welcome, it's a bit hard to know what to use 😕
As soon as Flathub offers payment options and the ability to rate apps the quality of Linux apps will improve massively.
Play store is a counter example
@@ayaya-ayaya ReALLY ??!!
I think the opposite is true: with payment options we are going to see a run to monetization for every small app, meaning simple apps are going to be ridden with ads or "get the pro version to unlock this feature" popups. Same as on Apple's app store and, to a lesser extent, Google's Play store.
@@SebastianoTronto I agree. It seems that Linux is trying to get on the "monetization" bandwagon.
@@SebastianoTronto open source apps don't do it and won't do it. The instant an open source application has ads or popups - it gets forked and all of it gets patched out.
Proprietary apps can do it even without Flatpak monetization, by tying paid vs. free status to an online account or a license key. I have a lot of paid software on my Linux workstation, all of it handles it through an account that the license is tied to. None of them will switch their monetization to Flatpak, ever.
The only thing Flatpak monetization is going to help with is easy donations to open source projects, which is great. Everything else will stay the same.
I agree, Apple does indeed suck. Tim Cook, the patron saint of malicious compliance.
That's called malicious compliance
I would hardly call it compliance. More like malicious distraction. I don’t see how this allows side loading. This is just Apples ‘App Store’ with extra steps.
More development for Linux. No need to use a Mac.
The new kernel is something Mint desperately needed! One of THE reasons why I didn't went with Mint (even though I liked their philosophy) was that they just did not support my not so new hardware that other distros (with later kernels) supported 100%.
I maintain the latest kernel in Mint via the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel. I just need to do some tests to see if everything is working
@@marcelorauber8397 Some which is just not possible for the new user because of a lack of knowledge. And Mint is sold as a very good first install for people who are new to Linux.
Worth noting that the update manager lets you install 6.x series kernels. I'm guessing that brings you up to Edge ISO spec.
13:10 please keep us up to date on whether these proposed changes make it into the kernel, Nick. You probably will, anyway, but I just wanted to express my curiosity
This is the best linux news channel on youtube. Merci Nick!
Well... I was a Sr Software engineer at Apple in (ahem) 1986. Broke away 2 years later to become an independent developer. At the time Apple was simply the best solution in the world. Jump forward to now (early 2024) and I have decided to dump Apple once and for all. I ABSOLUTELY HATE APPLE. They moved from being an innovating force to a greedy force. Well, for some time now... but their greed is absurd. A new operating system every two years which obsoletes apps you have to buy all over again... a totally invasive system, much like Google to entrap both users and developers. So... I've been 'practicing' on Linux Mint and now think I have a reasonable development environment. After 38 years (!!!) of Mac I'm struggling a tiny bit moving to linux but linux has come a LONG way in just the last decade. Every dog has their day and Apple's day is over. We won't even discuss Windows.
Apple should be fined $500million per month until they obey the spirit of the law. Their actions are insane.
Unfortunately, that is not typically how laws work :-/. They need to go back and close the loopholes it sounds like.
I is amazing to me how people in a community that supports freedom in software literally wants authoritarian governments to control what private companies are allowed to do in the basic functioning of their business lol. Like you don’t want any company controlling your personal computer but you want totalitarian control over everyone else?
Honestly I am actually amazed at how totalitarian the Linux community secretly is. Like you literally want companies you don’t purchase from to go out of business simply because they are not obeying your personal idea of what an operating environment should look like? Sounds insane actually
@@ghost-user559 If their idea is exploitation then anyone can talk about it no ?
@@ghost-user559
guy saw one guy say something debatable and said "alright bet all y'all suck"
4:12 The answer is simple switch to Android and avoid the Apple snobish mentality.
I owned a IPhone 4S way back in the day when you had to jailbreak your phone all the time to keep up with iOS updates.
Then I got smart and switched to Samsung Note Phones and never looked back!
I'm still rocking a Note 20 Ultra, and it does everything I could ever want and more.
It was the last year of expandable memory card slot, I just wish it had an IR blaster like my Note 4 had..
Apple's new terms are effectively suicide for their development platform. Any developer entering the market with these terms would just move to a different platform until they made enough money to try entering the market. Apple is one of the most restrictive when it comes to software, so them killing their own platform is fine by me. It might even lead people into the world of FOSS, so that's a win any day!
Apple is insane. They have like 6 native apps for their headset and they make you pay out your butt to develop for it
Proper firefox for ios now please
i believe the real reason that they dropped launching the handheld with holoiso was because the holoiso folks asked them not to, at least that's the scuttle butt around the net i've heard. frankly not sure why they wouldn't just do a custom version of chimera os in that case as it's basically steam os but with better hardware support. although idk how good it's touch screen controls are, if it has them at all.
I doubt that... they claim they will still offer HoloISO downloads tailored for the handheld owners can install themselves, it just won't be default. Its more likely some Microsoft rep offered them big discounts or some free Windows licenses to stay as a MS only shop.
I'm sure the EU will come down hard on Apple for their anti-competitive practices.
the people should not give apple money anymore. that would change things a lot faster
@@willi1978 Any company that isn't privacy respecting or that is playing these games.

@@willi1978 Yup
i read the discussion on the protocol, and some of the complains are really true, and the protocol couldn't handle that especially the ones from Xaver(but yeah, there was a bit of drama by other developer), i think it's gonna be the same problem as the multi-windows one, someone need to come up with a new and very clever, because the default one has flaws or unreasonable requirements, or the most probably one, is a portal, it remove the issues of it being in the wayland protocol, but writing a portal is harder
Leave it to Apple to come up with the most asinine legal terms. Being the wealthiest company on the planet permits a massive legal team.
Flathub doing well makes me happy. It's good to see it grow into the one stop shop for Linux desktop apps.
Budgie having a plan is a good sight. Curious to see how it pans out. It always looked pretty nice to use to me.
MSFT is the wealthiest now.
They are not the “wealthiest” company on the planet, they are up there as one of the most highly valued publicly traded companies based on estimated market value.

13 years on android and im never looking back
Unity: Gets burned for adding a cost per install of app
Apple: Hey, that's a great idea!
In all seriousness, sounds like Apple opening up in the EU is just not remotely true at all lol
technically the icon thing is for having custom icons for different windows within the same application, so you could have the application have the main icon, then have a specific icon for a popup, etc.
While I confess I don't own any Apple device nor do I plan on ever doing so, I strongly feel that Apple's new app development polices in the EU will turn out to be a very bad thing that may slap them in the face. How Apple has chosen to force app developers to pay them additional an fee directly to them on top of what they pay to develop apps on other app stores is wrong. This new form of monopoly may spell certain doom for Apple as app developers will probably start turning away from Apple's app store and move towards other app stores such as Google's and/or FOSS, especially those small app development teams that can't pay Apple's additional fees. The ramifications of Apple's most recent app policy changes in the EU might in fact cause obsolete Apple app versions not to get updated if this comes to pass.
Instead of bickering about features just include them all and let people decide which ones they wanna use through gui that is easy to understand, i mean seriously... Flathub has incredible potential and at some point should replace standard packges in app stores for everything except when you need to update distro. If flatpaks would become standard for linux it would be the same as executables on windows and it would save hell of a lot of time we waste looking for dependencies, with flatpak you get basicaly plug and play application.
I like the idea of desktop companies just working on their desktop without a distribution attached to it. Just make it so we can use that desktop on any distribution.
Good video. But hey Nick, can you make a video about the most common issues with TuxedoOS and how to fix them? Installing Wine like you would do in Mint or Ubuntu is not possible, for example.
Unity plan:
1: Let's charge per install!
2: Mass exodus.
3: Changes mind at a significant loss of developers and revenue.
Apple's plan:
1. Looks at Unity's plan. That's looks like a great business model! Let's do it too before everyone else catches on!
2. Say we came up with the idea and patent it.
13:46 I don't understand what those percentages means. If we'll consider that currently they have a separate process that implements communication, thenswitching to kernel we can get from 4 context switches (user-kernel-user-kernel-user) down to 2 (user-kernel-user). Even if we'll consider that new synchronization will help to put process to sleep and awake other, we can count it as 1 context switch per process (user1-kernel-user2). I.e. 2x-4x less CPU work to flip contexts.
Are those referring to real time (including waiting), or it is indicating real overhead. If it includes waiting time, then I would expect that processes that serve that functionality now might just require bumping priorities for scheduler to achieve similar effect.
tbf, the most difficult part when add a spec to a protocol is to satisfied all cases, even for simple feature
Hey Nick,
Great video! The title definitely caught my eye ha ha!
To be honest Apple's changes are obviously anti-competitive, but they do come across as them being ultra petty on their part because they are doing this reluctantly. I am all for being able to use Firefox and Chrome using their respective web engines rather than WebKit, if I wanted to use WebKit, what's the point of using Chrome/Firefox over vanilla Safari? The thing that is even more infurtiating is that this option is only available on iPhone, not on iPad - although I don't live in the EU, that is very petty on the part of Apple.
On the outside looking in maybe some of the EU policies aren't exactly favourable towards regular users - not sure if EU is at fault for websites prompting visitors to explicitly accept cookies are a result of EU policies, but at least in this case I was looking forward to side loading apps. If there is one thing that I like about Android over iOS is that you can install any app that you would like.
It's an overall disappointment since I like using Apple's hardware. I do find interesting how some of these companies, like Epic, have a problem with Apple charging that commission, but aren't going after Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo for doing the same thing on their platforms.
Flatpak is great, it just makes me download like 15 different minor versions of the same Nvidia driver.
In the past I've had to add an application into steam and run it through proton there, which is a pain, so it's nice that you'll be able to do it outside of steam.
Overall performance changes little from 5.15 to 6.7. In fact, the 6.x versions had several performance regressions, BRFS bugs, AMDGPU bugs. This argument against Linux Mint is nonsense. The only real justification for a newer kernel is compatibility with newer hardware.
5.15 is an LTS kernel that still has support and security patches, which is the most important thing.
The Wayland icon thing is actually hilarious. We just recently heard them railing against the repo that aims to fix the basic features missing from Wayland. Apparently they had all been left out for security reasons and couldn't be implemented. Then a few weeks later suddenly icons are possible anyway? No doubt we will see more of those repo features being snuck in through the backdoor in coming weeks and months. The devs are just too arrogant to admit they were wrong, or to even just acquiesce to the users' requests.
It's funny how Linux projects always attract these types. Gnome has a bunch of them as well. I guess not everyone can go work at Apple if you just want to tell users what they want and not accept any criticism.
1000 Linux users generates 5000 Linux opinions. God I love Linux. 🙂
Hi, thanks for your amazing video. I am one of those preferring Win over Linux for gaming. 2 reasons: modding is too often impossible or too hard on Linux, and Linux gaming environment supports less games than Windows. Especially the ones I use. Hopes this helps.
How to they calculate active users? Without the time span they count them it's a total worthess measure
I never liked snaps, but recently converted to using proprietary apps in flatpak form and couldn't be happier. Knowing that steam is always packed with the perfect dependencies, not having to have additional i386 architecture in my system, and having it ssndboxed is really best practice.
Love this schedule :3
i think apple just wants to buy more time
I like so much your weekly shows. Watch them every time. Your subjects are always well researched and presented with your excellent free-thinker criteriums. Merci!
Apples way of complying with the eu laws is solidifying my choice to drop them as my devices of choice. Bummer... I had hoped for better
Linux has a bright future on portable consoles. Just don't tell people outright that it's Linux :)
They'll know when most of their games aren't working ;)
alright hear me out...
implement the wayland protocols, but mark them as experimental (subject to change) for people who absolutely need them, and to find any flaws with the protocol
The EU is considering the new install text on new versions of windows11/12. Not only does it force installation with a advertising identity but it forces users to agree to hand over personal data for resale by windows without fair monetary recompense in the users country of origin monetary cash systems. Lobbyist point out this goes beyond fair use laws in the EU by leaving no way of switching it off by users. Retail consumer laws in many EU countries require retail protections in place under such circumstances by the EU data regulators. Hih on the regulators hit list to require all hardware sold in Europe to run five or more independent operating systems on the desktop without modification by the user.
It doesn't really make sense for another handheld gaming device maker to use Steam/Holo because the Steamdeck already has a huge head start in the market. They need a significant point of difference and the easiest one is by using windows. This even works for the customers saying it; the ones who don't really want windows would just get a Steamdeck already.
Flatpak is really exciting. I hope in the long term it will merge with or overtake one of the major formats like deb or rpm
Some games that would run fine on the steam deck have kernel level anticheat. Given Riot’s Valorant is popular and can work with a low powered system that is my guess
but then again, would you really play such game on such device? valorant doesn't even have controller support so you cannot use gyro
That anti-cheat bascially is a rootkit. Don't play Riot Games.
@@cameronbosch1213 it is bad yeah, but the game is fun
Yep moved to the Edge version haven't looked back, works much better on newer hardware. Thanks, I agree.
the easiest way to make everyone happy and have Wayland working for everyone is ... protocol plugins (or extensions).
That way, DE devs can implement what they need and ship it as wayland protocol plugin/extension.
That's exactly how protocol are handled (e.g. Gnome does Not implement some of them (like SSD))
I like some parts of browsers being forced to use WebKit because I prefer the approaches to many things of some of those other browsers but I like having the integration with iOS, but I feel like they could easily just make some of those systems easier to integrate with and just require browsers to add that implementation instead of requiring WebKit itself
I've just swapped to FF Nightly yesterday - and uninstalled every other browser on my PC!
Insane. So glad I’m on Linux/Android.
You’re right! Apple is the devil! I have an iPhone but I really start to dislike Apple a lot.
The new Samsung s24 ultra looks nice..🤨
I switched last year and couldn't be happier, customization is really nice on android
I haven't liked Apple as a company since Steve Jobs died, but they still make the best computers, best phones and best desktop OS you can get...period.
Samsung is the apple of the Android world. 😂. They are white washed. They themselves believe apple is superior to them which is why they copy apple. Ex: No Headphone jack, No charger in the box, Same design for past 4 years. 😂.
@@dragonballjiujitsuThey make laptops which are best for running apple apps. I do agree the build quality is top notch. MacOs has restrictions. iOS is shit too. Hardware is too good. And processors are the best.
@@___l._You should try, if you haven't already, the customization app of Samsung - "Fine Lock". Possibilities are infinite.
Flatpak is getting better and better, I'm a user of elementary OS and I think there were and there are people who complained a lot about the fact that they switched to using flatpack now we know it was the best.
Note: And Apple sucks.
I think it would be nice if Ayaneo provided a choice for the pre installed OS at the time of purchasing a device. Having to install Linux manually will put a lot of users off and they’ll just stick with the Windows version (and probably get disappointed by the performance, leave a bad review and we won’t get any more affordable handhelds).
I know it might be hard to comprehend for some folks here but the sole reason I use apple products is *because* of it's a walled garden and not despite it. It provides such a cohesive experience unparalleled in any other ecosystem. You have to use it know (Look, I used to use arch as my main machine and lineage os custom rom so I've been on both sides).
No one is forcing anyone to buy apple products, people buy it because they like it?
And more importantly, if they don't like the experience or the walled garden then they're free to use other phones in the market?
Now, are some of their policies and decisions stupid? sure they are. Like any other giant company.
the icon thing is not because people don't want to work together the proposed way could break a lot of wayland & the guy who proposed it can be very hostile
Wayland drama? And we are suppose to believe in the year of the Linux desktop? Hahaha, I like Fedora’s move on and ignore the haters approach
Nice little monstera behind you, just make sure it gets more light.
I would have expected an Edge ISO to ship with a copy of Microsoft Edge.
Wayland need to set their priorities right. Til then, I'll keep my old gold X11.
Discussion, debate, and people pointing out flaws is how a good protocol is achieved. You can't dismiss these things broadly as just meaningless "people can't agree" nonsense.
I kind of like the per-install fee for companies like Facebook, Netflix, Microsoft, and the like. Thinking back on apps like Apollo though, I don't feel like it's fair to have small-scale developers pay when people install apps. Does it apply when the app doesn't cost anything too?
12:41 run windows exclusive program that doesn't work in wine?
the second apple comes up with something "original" thats actually very anti consumer, i hate when then others start coyping it dispite it being an objectively bad feature/limitation
I am actually happy that the Ayaneo is shipping with Windows, otherwise the lackluster performance would have been blamed on Gnu/Linux.
Could you please do a video about hyprland, a fresh install then the configuration, especially how to configure waybar and themes and icons
I remember when sideloading was possible without jb on ios lol
It is still possible. The app I remember I used to side load apps: Tweakbox.
Next phone of mine after my iPhone will not be supported anymore will be Android.
RE: AYANEO NEXT LITE shipping with Windows 11. My take is that if it ships with Windows 11 out of the box, they calculate that they will sell more units. Linux users are savvy enough to install HoloISO, after all they do it much of the time installing Linux on Laptops and PCs that ship with Windows by default. Whereas a general Windows user (If AYANEO NEXT LITE shipped with HoloISO) would not likely buy the device if they had to go through the trouble to install Windows after purchase.
Might be, but the reviews will then be based on that, and I can’t imagine the experience will be any good
Hopefully, someone reviews the device with both HoloISO and Windows and publishes their findings.@@TheLinuxEXP
you promote tux so well. in the process of getting one, is there some way to let them know you are the reason i am ordering a computer from across the ocean?
At first glance at Apple's system and it almost seems reasonable
But developers still needing an Apple developer account, Apple still vetting app stores? Isn't the point of side loading to get rid of that?
Wild that appimage devs have any input on wayland development considering that appimages only run on wayland via xwayland and the lead dev has rejected patches to improve the situation.
The Future is bright!
The wayland protocol issue is mainly due to Gnome. Anything which gives users or app developers more control is to be rejected with extreme prejudice.
