I have had Kernel Panic/Freezes since Kernel 6.9. Currently on 6.8, without NVidia drivers and without an issue.

Quoting: MangojuicedrinkerThank you for this report!
In truth, people are simply unaware of Linux.. unaware of its gaming capabilities, its now ease of use.. etc.. They are also kept back by invasive technologies such as SecureBoot which usually prevents installation of Linux..
My Windows 11 enjoyer brother-in-law was truly having a blast playing games on my Linux PC... he was also in disbelief of how good it was performance wise... (I never asked/pushed him though, he simply turned the PC on to try it himself and now has a new view on Linux..)

If people knew how easy Linux has become and how amazing levels it has reached regarding gaming performance (that it can sometimes outperform Windows 11 in even AAA titles with proton overhead!!) they would certainly use it.

Distros such as Linux Mint, Nobara, CachyOS, have given Linux both the easy GUI/OOB-Gaming experience and also have kept the power of the Terminal as well so users can really enjoy using Linux (best of both worlds)... (at least this has been the case for me who migrated from Win 7 to Linux for 2 years now..).

That's truth. Many article/tests/benchmarks comparing playing on Linux and Windows shows, when user set high resolution or uses high-end hardware, but without up scaling or ray/path tracing, Linux annihilate Windows (in many cases). It's sad enabling ray/path-tracing or upscaling can change that image.

I remember what Windows/Mac users told me: "If Linux have had 10% of marketshare, Adobe will probably release Photoshop on it". So that's at half of way.

Does Burnout: Paradise is supported on Linux officially? I own license and will play, but be sad if they ban me for playing on Linux. It is multiplayer game, after all!

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: LachuFor example in License of Windows 10 exist text told, the software is not sold, but licensed.

And so is Linux.

If you use Linux, it is your operating system. License told you can do nearly everything (except put the software in weapon, etc. - US laws). You can even sold this software and MS was trying put people to jail, cause they trying to sold their own Windows licenses. At least, European commission told you can sold Windows licenses, if you bought it.

Quoting: LachuI remember about Alky: Exe file recompiler to native Linux binaries. Alky been illegal after court process.

This Alky [External Link]?

There's no word of of any court process or lawsuit in the (very candid) post-mortem and links to the source code.

Thanks, a quick search turned up nothing of note and I was wondering what Lachu was talking about. Usually when things ends up in court there is a bit more noise.

I have read about allky was made illegal many years ago on Osnews.pl (old version of this service). On new version, I've found (in Polish):
"Alky Project na LGPL, Wine ma konkurencję
Alky Project to alternatywna do Wine metoda pozwalająca na uruchamianie aplikacji Windows w innych systemach operacyjnych. W związku z zamknięciem firmy Falling Leaf Systems, LLC cały kod projektu został udostępniony na licencji GNU LGPL.O Alky pisaliśmy półtora roku temu, w związku z wydaniem ReactOS 0.3.0, jako alternatywie..."

I must search for older news.

Quoting: LachuAlso, Nadela said it's your computer.

Yet Windows dropped the term "My Computer" some time ago! They replaced it with "This Computer", which was obviously to lay the groundwork for control being taken away from users.

Quoting: LachuWindows and owned PC? By whom? By Microsoft?

I believe that's the idea, yeah. Pretty sure you already don't own your PC if you use Windows on it, though admittedly having not used it in 20 years, and only having checked things for others who needed the info at various points, I'm not up-to-date on their current terms.

What is funny is that RMS was joked about they told: "If you use computer and OS is not your, that computer is not your". Sorry, but when people will stood that? TV employee told/comment: "So you told people they should pirate Operating Systems?".

It is not related only to software without physical medium. Software "sold" on CD have also same restrictions. For example in License of Windows 10 exist text told, the software is not sold, but licensed. Microsoft was trying to put people to jail for sale of used Windows copy, but EU decided MS do it wrong and allow people to sold used licenses of Windows. Of course, MS make illegal and makes people going to jail for other stuff, like watching movies or listening music under non-window or non-mac, but this time is over also. Examples: I read about student, who was deny from University for watching movies under Linux - of course, in USA.

My English skills are poor. As I listening this video, I heard Nadela said first web browser was for Windows and that is not truth. Also, Nadela said it's your computer. What's a hell? Windows and owned PC? By whom? By Microsoft?
