Unfortunately, even though you (or me) may not, some random person/company (that we rely on) probably is. And, when they go down, we are coming along no matter what.

Yeah. Twitter has always been a shit show, under Mush it just gets more unhinged and right-winged.

That was quick.

The best advertiser for Linux is Microsoft.

You did not misremembered it. They tried to make it difficult, got backlashed, then took a step back. All of it before Win11 was widely distributed, so some people never had to deal with it.

With that said. MS still looking ways to try forcing you to use Edge. Recently, all of your Chrome tabs just got reopen into Edge, "due to a bug".

They did not outright declined it. They policy is not to engage wt commercial entities. Therefore, there is no contract or agreement of any kind. Nevertheless, Solvo may just voluntary donate to the project, for the PR.

We are getting there.

Nevertheless, I will keep my expectation in check, as to see if companies will keep up will the spirit of the law and/or the state will be serious in enforcement it.

I feel sorry for anyone who had to sat through this event. It was the most boring and soulless presentation I have ever seen. It it the definition of "This could have just been an email".

Mesa comes as separate flatpaks which is hidden in the GUI, and is automatically install when you install a flatpak. The system can have multiple versions of the driver installed. When Steam is ready to use a newer Mesa version, it will do it automatically.

Mangohud, on the other hand, is a flatpak you need to install manually via the command line. You should follow the instruction on their Github page for that.

P.S: In case you like a GUI for things. You should install Flatseal, which provide a GUI for configuring flatpaks.

Apparently, the CAD software Ondsel is also not compatible with the mesa’s implementation; and it would just crash right after the boot.

Microsoft’s game plan seems to be:

1. Sell a cool idea, halfheartedly.
2. Abandon the idea.
3. Wait until someone else done it right.
4. Ripe them off / play catch up.

It was exactly like that for Windows on ARM.

In other words, regardless of whether you like/hate Apple, if the Vision Pro does not success, then there probably won’t be any further investment in the space from MS either.

The 20 mins countdown in game was actually 20 mins irl. This episode is a pacing masterpiece.
