Paragraph «Don't», bullet point number 3: Don't look at any Microsoft source code. https://wiki.winehq.org/Clean_Room_Guidelines

I am waiting for dynamic buffering and variabile refresh rate being both merged in mutter. Wine on Wayland is also pretty exciting.

Parabola GNU/Linux-libre user here. On paper, GNU Guix System looks exactly what I want from an operating system. The problem I have with it is the software repository full of severely outdated packages. Heck, last time I checked GNOME was three major versions behind. This is a deal breaker for me. It's a downside that I don't see coming up often in discussions.

I use Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

After having used Parabola GNU/Linux-libre for more than ten years, I seriously considered moving to GNU Guix System. The only thing holding me back is that I saw some seriously out of date packages in the repository. Off the top of my head, GNOME was like three major versions behind. How do you deal with that?

Stallman has a sense of humor.

Underrated comment.

Not much related, but I want to chime in to express my gratitude for what I consider the most underrated piece of software in the FOSS ecosystem. Better known hex editors pale in comparison to wxHexEditor in terms of features and user interface. I suggest you to tweak the colors for better viewing (I can share my configuration file) and to upgrade to the latest unstable revision because many important fixes landed since the last stable version.

I have used Parabola GNU/Linux-libre since its inception.

I use this package. It makes a difference in games.

Me too.

As new vulnerabilities are discovered, my motherboard manufacturer issues new firmware versions with updated microcode, hence I do not need to install microcode updates from the operating system.

Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, an Arch Linux spin with no non-free software.

Besides video games, I need no Windows software at all. So far I have successfully played every single game I wanted to play, hundreds of them, ranging from small independent titles to AAA features without resorting to Windows. While I am aware that online play can be a problem on GNU/Linux, I don't do online gaming. Sometimes, especially in the past, I may have to come up with some serious tinkering to enjoy a flawless experience, but ultimately I have never failed to run a Windows game on GNU/Linux as if it was a native title.

I actually like this kind of light-hearted spirit. I dream of a future when this whole woke culture thing will be a thing of the past.
