Yeah but those extra steps are important ones.

As long as you don’t rely on the UI design matching, it is fine.

I dunno that I’d consider Brave to be “the right thing” but more variety/competition is best!

I’d describe it as making computer systems reliable.

Why is that? What do you feel is the downside?

Yes, kind of.

Someone might correct me if I’m wrong but it’s that, plus extra tooling to redirect the stuff that needs to be writable, plus more extra tooling to allow you to temporarily unlock the read-only parts in order to do system updates, plus a system updater that puts the whole system more-or-less under version control.

I felt a compatibility module wouldn’t offer nearly as good performance/efficiency as a game designed to run on Linux/ext4 - but are you saying that playing via Proton is fine?

Can confirm, it’s fine. There’s some variability of course but taken as a whole the environment is comparable in terms of performance. As long as you’re not playing AAA competitive games that have anti-cheat you are going to be fine with few exceptions. And there are plenty of examples where the proton experience works better than the native.

Check protondb to get a realistic idea of how well games will work.

It’s dropping as in “experiencing a fall in numbers” (back to normal levels) not as in “removing from support” nor as in “delivered to the world”

They may have removed it from the reporting or corrected for some previous change in reporting methodology.

I’d hold off on Pop! OS for the moment, until they have Cosmic into an updated release.

I say this as a relatively happy user of Pop

Are you borrowing your dad’s white Lincoln Navigator?

I only use it incidentally but my biggest gripe is the total inability to perform its one function of teleconferencing.

The bit where it lags the audio badly and then speeds it up to catch back up to real-time is absolutely infuriating to listen to, and such a failure of a tool that had. one. job.

Eehhhh… OP didn’t give any details. Maybe they want an IDE, maybe they think that pyCharm is needed in order to use Python.

I have no idea which they meant, but people make assumptions.

That wasn’t a criticism, I’m not saying you didn’t read what they wrote.

“Remote Desktop” (and Microsoft’s RDP Remote Desktop Protocol) is a common term, regardless of what the actual destination device is.

OP was not clear what they mean, so we just guess and ask.

They didn’t say, we can only read what they wrote and ask if unsure.

80% sure it’s Google Sheets. If not it’s very very close.

I’m familiar with the speaker brand, but OP is not clear what they mean. Is there software or do they just want to make sure their BT speaker works with Linux? Or are they using some other abbreviation and we are way off base.

I can guess but better to ask.

I would say pop is is not the right choice right now, until they release the version with Cosmic. It is very outdated because of that.

It is somewhat related, I’m sure installing pyCharm on windows also provides Python. But yeah, not everyone wants to use a plain text editor.

What is JBL?

iTunes: Quod Libet

pyCharm: native

Windows games: Proton
