Manjaro was once a brilliant distro and the Linux ecosystem wouldn't be where it is without it, but the past few years have been disastrous for the distro. I'd love for the distro to solve its issue and be anew what it was in 2015.

Can you even truly claim it's open source when it's using AI generated code?

That's debatable, open source works because copyright is enforcing the licence. And AI generated content don't have copyright.
So all the AI generated code don't have a licence. That is like having a very permissive licence, like MIT with not even attribution.

That's a great move. The absolutely unsaturated video game market is ready to rewards peoples able to move fast and propose hundred of abysmal quality games.

Irony aside, it is funny to see the lesson of the great video game crash of 1983 being forgotten.

Isn't GNULactic/Konquest a Linux exclusive ?

Quoting: TevurI never tried Call to Power II, though. Is it still worth to invest some time into it?

The game was released before its development was over and it shows. The game then somehow went open source and the community finished it but last I tried 10 years ago I did not manage to compile it for Linux. It may be easier now.

I love this game so much. It has so many good idea for the genre that are still to be reused.

I totally misunderstood then. I thought the regretting part was due to asking a technical question and bracing for technical explanation. Judging from the development of the whole mess, we'll probably know soon enough, whether we like it or not.

Quoting: Sakuretsu

Antheas (Antheas Kapenekakis), who was previously part of the Bazzite team and creator of the Handheld Daemon project, but ended up being kicked out due to "repeated violations of our Code of Conduct".

Maybe I'm going to regret asking but what did that guy do?

Making software and hardware working together, which is actually quite hard, very technical and a bit boring.
For example, it makes so that Linux can connect to the internet on an handeld with some wifi modem and antenna but unusual linking or that the software you use can access the position of the analogues sticks.

Quoting: scaineInteresting not at the end where Antheas claims that Bazzite can now never be attached to hardware officially. Not sure I understood the why of that.

From what I understood, Antheas claims part ownership of the brand and will block attempts to change the trademark rule to allow its use by hardware vendor. But I'm unsure about this.

Credential abuse/mishandling does not legally give Kyle the ability to trademark Bazzite or take this kind of decision. In fact, it would be hard trademark Bazzite now, as it is contaminated through my involvement, a lot of which is public and unretractable, and poor handling thereafter. This legal murkiness (pre-existing to an extent) is part of the reason I will be focusing my efforts elsewhere. The Bazzite mark can only be used non-commercially from now on and not e.g. sold moving forward otherwise we will need to have a follow-up discussion.

The Linux way of technical debate at its peak. 😇

I wish I could pick a side, but I don't really understand what it entails. Seems to be about input being managed from the kernel or the userspace or something like that.

Thanks for the coverage.
