Quoting: AcrophobicWhile there are many Inkscape tutorial out there, most of them is released in video format, which is quite heavy for us with slow internet connection. Meanwhile, the tutorial on his site is available mostly in image and text format. This make it easy to access, and can be easily printed and distributed to student.

plus, video tutorials are horrible to back track if you want to see an specific detail again, and you can't control+C from an text in an video.

" Valve's video game marketplace has the power to keep Linux alive. "
linux will live regardless of what valve do, it survived back then when we didnt had almost anything to play.
the issue is if it will grow, and i dont see it happening without exclusives unfortunately.
valve already said they will not make exclusives, but maybe google do.

i dont think we should be satisfied with our progress, it could have being much better.
ps2 and ds sold 150 millions units in a single generation, that is enough to get all the best games from the current gen,sure they didnt had as many indie titles as we do, but consoles were much more closed back then, ps4 has 100 millions units sold and get all the best games be then indie or triple a (all , except the exclusives from nintendo, sony or a few games that require a mouse)

if we had an sucessfull console with linux, we could get critical mass in one generation and all the best games from, at least, 1 gen, valve could then complete the library with proton, we would have everything!
but their strategy with steam machines was ...absent at best, actually, what was their strategy? they had any?

at least itch is open source, so they could try to send an patch for it to save time in the future (or to add support for extra features such as dlc)

Quoting: massatt212wish they did some improvements on the DX9 department, still have games like ultimate Marvel vs capcom 3 stuttering

stuttering in a few games can be solved by having an better hardware (or closing backgrounds programs if they are ressource intensive)

Quoting: Purple Library Guyand all the open source stuff with critical mass is maintained and improved on an ongoing basis.

those are the exceptions.

quoting Linus torvalds
" The normal size for most open source projects is three people"

even projects like gimp have something like 2 or 3 mantainers, so i dont know what you mean by critical mass.

and speaking of gimp, if you think its properly support, it isnt, they ditched support for old script-fu scripts some time ago, back then i needed to make an edit in a bunch of images, i tried to make an script to select the first pixel of a bunch of images and set it as transparent color, and failed, the documentation of ho to make script-fu for it was out dated, was no long working even if you know english you have an bad time solving those issues, imagine people who arent native speakers...
