Quoting: TcheySure it’s good to see money going to the FOSStuff, but i cannot NOT think that’s it’s a facade, and very much like greenwashing from big companies responsible for a big part of the pollution, or donations from tax-avoider billionaires.

Like, they give several millions to charity, in front of the media of course, and people say bravo. But what they give is a tiny % of what they should pay in tax every years if they didn’t cheat the tax systems.

I think you have the wrong idea of the tax incentives for donations in the U.S. The tax system promotes donations of your choosing. This is a power to the people kind of thing. The alternative is the government would choose which organizations receive that money, if any at all. Imagine if there was no tax incentive for non-profit donations. I imagine there would be a lot fewer donations from billionaires. IMO, the tax incentives of the U.S. are helping, whether or not the funds are coming out of good will or not. Tax incentives are not tax evasion.

And in this case, I don't know that OBS is a non-profit, so the donations probably have nothing to do with tax incentives anyway.

Quoting: 14

Quoting: GuestAs an Arch user for more than 12 years, i don't understand why people need to use Manjaro these days. Installing Arch is very, very easy these days, and you get to use the real thing and cut off the intermediary. What is that Manjaro brings to the table?

There are also things that you probably set up many years ago that you may have forgotten about, like build hooks when you update Nvidia drivers or VirtualBox. There are things like that that are small enough that a lot of people just expect them to work because they never had to think about them before. Arch gives you the choice of doing it manually or using your choice of tools to accomplish the task instead of going with the flow and using the distro's choice of tooling. But you know, a lot of people don't want to deal with the hassle of those niggling choices.

I'm using the same installation from years ago and have even migrated it along multiple computer upgrades. I've taken care of all the little choices and it's all convenient enough for me now. But when I want to manage my kids' and wife's computers, or if I'm recommending a distro to someone that's not a computer hobbyist, it's not Arch. Manjaro is what I "throw on there." I don't have to do anything after installation! :)

Hopefully this didn't sound like shouting at your face. I think you had a fair question.

Tons of FUD, i see. OK, i admit, i am not an Nvidia user, i hate them as a company and haven't bought Nvidia hardware since 2007, but what is so hard to setup about Nvidia on Arch? Nvidia is officially supported, no? Last i remember, they even include the binary driver officially.

As for build hooks, seriously, they are 2 minutes work, just read the wiki. Seriously that is the "big issue" you guys have for supporting an immitation of Arch over the real thing? I never thought people had this much trouble to setup nvidia or virtualbox on ArchLinux.... FUD and more FUD, i see...

You missed the point. It was a couple of examples. You can't narrow in on them like that.
It sounds to me like you are an elitist, a purist. You know that distro choice is not a religious matter, correct?
I also think that your conclusion of FUD is quite inaccurate. But it seems not worth giving examples based on how you fail to extrapolate.

Still not released for us. :'(

I'm going to look for a video review because I don't think I want to watch this on Twitch lest there be any cool, key moments that I'd like to experience unexpectedly. ;)

This is good news. Every time I've been looking at my wish list lately, I've been wondering when the Linux version was going to release, debating whether to keep it on my wish list anymore. (Same goes for Wargroove.) Hopefully I can enjoy Children of Morta sometime in the near future!

Quoting: BillFlemingI think the VFIO should be a separate option. Then for options:
No
Yes, Single GPU passthrough
Yes, GPU passthrough with AMD host
Yes, GPU passthrough with Nvidia host
Yes, GPU passthrough with Intel host
Yes, Some other setup

I don't personally think it's worth adding. The dual-boot question could be changed to "Do you use the same computer for Windows gaming as well?"

I've been looking forward to 1.1.
The surprise expansion is interesting.
