Fedora has pushed for the change by rebranding their immutable distros as Fedora Atomic Desktops, and these are likely the most popular immutable distros. Bazzite’s homepage also describes the distro as atomic, but never mentions the term immutable.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cant be interrupted because it happens in one step. This one of the big selling points of atomic or immutable distros. Your system will not be left in a broken state by cancelling an update because updates do not take multiple steps, unlike traditional distros.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cannot be interrupted, like the updates in these distros. Immutable is a more confusing term, as it leads users to believe that cannot control parts of the system, when in reality these distros still have tools to do so.

I’d argue dedicating your personality to hating something is much weirder than being a fanboy of it, especially when that thing is a piece of technology nobody is forcing you to use.

Looking at the taskbar, they’re using Kitty which has tabs and splits, and they have a browser running.

The gaming mode is still the Steam Client. It’s just the big picture client which has built in additional features when used on a Steam Deck.

Lawyers tend to be honest to the people they’re being paid by.

As they said in the article, they are just listening to their lawyers. I would assume those lawyers are correct.

You can get very high end office chairs incredibly cheap if you looks used. It’s not hard to all to find Steelcase Leaps and Herman Miller Aerons under $300 on Craigslist, eBay, FB Marketplace, or used office supply stores. I got my Steelcase Leap for $220 and it’s been going strong for over 5 years now.

And yet Nintendo files bogus copyright claims against emulators.

No problem. I do think they had it as an option before they made it the default whenever Proton is used

If you’re on the newest version you shouldn’t need to manually select anything to use UMU. You just need to be using a Proton runner as your Wine version. I’m using GE-Proton9-15 and I can see in the logs when watching a game that Umu is being used.

No, a dev in their Discord said not to expect it this year.

You can already use umu with Lutris. If you choose any version of Proton as your wine runner, Lutris will automatically use Proton. One pretty major drawback is that Lutris won’t allow you to use winetricks, as umu didn’t add support for it until after the last Lutris release. Heroic supports it as well.

I haven’t seen the Bottles devs give any info about when they might implement. I’m thinking it might not be until Bottles Next.

Id like to add a lutris integration for it at aome point.

this is imessage

You can download the driver directly, GeForce Experience isnt necessary.

Isn’t that already true for QT apps on a gtk desktop and GTK apps on a QT desktop?

In my experience, GTK apps feel pretty good on Cosmic, and it has support for automatically theming them with your Cosmic theme. QT apps feel out of place, but this is an issue I’ve had on every non-Plasma desktop, because I struggle to get theming to work.

You answered your question of why Wayland exists right after asking it. X sucks. Wayland is a very significant improvement, I’m not sure why you think it’s a lateral move.

Also, X works for some cases, but not all, just lime Wayland. Using multiple refresh rates doesnt work well, HDR has no hope of ever working, and fractional scaling is horrible. Wayland has initial support for HDR and great support for the other two.

Wayland is a protocol used by each desktop that supports it. It often moves slowly because each desktop works together and discusses each change. If valve forked it, they would just have a protocol nobody is using. If people started using it, it would just slow down again for the same reason.
