Inb4 cease and desist

Minecraft clones exist. Calling a clone a "Minecraft port" and using that trademark is not the smartest idea, though.

"Remaking Minecraft on the Nintendo GameCube. My aim is to replicate enough of Minecraft's mechanics"

A remake is not a port.

But Mario + Rabbids

Take a gender at this*

No, it's a play on words as is.

The uploads gallery and the ability to delete uploaded images is an urgent must-have feature in order for Lemmy World to comply with its own privacy policy.

Older packages, but not too old, generally provide better stability.

And worse compatibility. Old packages are a no go for upstream supported hardware like Intel's and AMD's.

Now Ubuntu is Ubuntu without the fuss

Ubuntu is a trojan horse for Snap.

If you have cutting edge hardware, this might be an issue.

No, thanks to Valve's efforts for Steam Deck all RDNA2 hardware directly benefits for upstreamed improvements.

I’m not sure what a “music jukebox” is, and how it’s different from a music player, but I would recommend to try mpd.

A jukebox lets several people add a song to the playlist and yes, mpd is a solution for that where every event attendant could install a client on their phone.

Steam does not have a monopoly by any actual definition of monopoly, though. A) Mobile gaming makes up the most of all video gaming revenue. B) On PC the most revenue is made by games that aren't even on Steam in the first place (Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox). Steam's 2023 revenue has been estimated to be around 8.6bn USD out of 45bn USD of PC gaming revenue. That's barely a 5th of the market power. By no account this can be actually considered to be a monopoly.

They better not switch date to MM-DD-YYYY format.

Nothing is more patriotically American than Day Month Year.

People who expected anything else are delusional.

EGS is the Fortnite launcher. Fortnite's player base is insanely huge. Those people have EGS installed, they just choose not to buy anything else on that platform, except maybe V Bucks.

PS: The installed base of the Microsoft Store and Xbox apps are even bigger because Microsoft is allowed to bundle those with Windows.

A 14 year old game releases at full price. God Nintendo is the worst

It seems to reuse the more furry player models from Tropical Freeze which is only 10 years young. ☝️🤓

requires a fair bit of post-installation configuration (suboptimal OOTB experience for newbies)

I'm not the biggest fan of Gnome's defaults but the regular, non-techie users want a browser (maybe Chrome instead of Firefox, depending on preference) and possibly Steam for gaming. Both are on Flathub, available from Gnome Software.

Less software availability compared to Ubuntu or Mint

The software that isn't available, isn't of interest to newbie/non-techie users.

More likely to break than Ubuntu or Mint

If anything causes breakage, it's those web tutorials telling inexperienced users to add a bunch of PPAs to do shit. "So you use Ubuntu but video playback is a big laggy on your super new, hardly upstream-supported Radeon graphics card? Easy, add this PPA with untested git snapshots of Mesa and Kernel." Yeah, no.

Shipping with Windows S. That's Microsoft's version of a Chromebook for some light web browsing for 188 dollars. I wouldn't buy it but this doesn't look like a rip off at this price point.

Why is there no automation like https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwig.BitwigStudio/commits/master/ ?

you are also a beta tester of things

Huh? Fedora Workstation is built on stable releases, made by people who actually do QA.

Why is the flatpak not verified on flathub? Hmm

Because it's not by upstream Inkscape, apparently.

Of course that notebook is bad but for the price point of shitty hardware, you get shitty hardware. Apple sells shitty hardware at the cost of premium hardware.

Shame on google for providing the unlock firmware for a only limited time.

To this day I don't understand why Google didn't release a reference implementation of the firmware as open source Android-style.

if you’re really a complete noob the best experience will be the one you can Google and get a working answer as easily as possible.

Those Ubuntu "as easily as possible" answers on the web often revolve around adding random PPAs which cause breakage over time, especially the more PPAs are mixed and mashed. If anything, those easy answers from random Ubuntu forums and websites, last updated 2014, cause more harm than good.

I’ve been on Fedora as a daily driver since 2009 and have had yum updates break things.

Ah yes, when yum was the package manager, you had some breakage. As context for the readers here: dnf replaced yum in 2015, almost a decade ago: https://lwn.net/Articles/640420/

I do RHEL full-time so I’ve got the know-how to unravel it, but it’s not for the noob / non-technical, at least not at first.

Also, "noob / non-technical" users just use Gnome Software and not command line package managers.

So if there are breaking changes to things, you’ll be getting them.

No, Fedora has a policy against compatibility breaking updates mid-cycle. That's why Gnome is never updated to a new major release on a Fedora release. You'll have to wait for the next Fedora release to come out for such upgrades.

Thanks for understanding, we’re just trying to be careful 😟

People who complain aren't the applicants you would have wanted anyway.

I want to approve every update manually.

You can

Is it because Fedora is usually considered bleeding edge?

That was literally more than 10 years ago.

For what it is worth you can install Snap on most distros. https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd

Snap is a cesspool for malware and shovel ware. The best apps are packaged by Canonical. Also, when people still cared about Snap, there were frequent reports of incompatibilities because it was developed with Ubuntu in mind.

Because Windows is omnipresent and every NAS comes with SMB support out of the box.

there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.

Sure but Debian really, REALLY is not a newbie distribution.

We’re talking about Android, unrar doesn’t have anything to do with this really.

The entire topic is about RAR archive support on Android, so of course the freely available source code of unrar, released by the RAR developer himself, has absolutely to do with everything here.

RAR is and will continue to be a proprietary format with an owner who can seek royalties.

Nope, unrar's source code is free, released by RAR's developer.

It’s like saying Google should stop licensing MPEG because ffmpeg exists—it simply doesn’t work like that

Nope, it absolutely isn't like that. You just have no clue at all.

   Unrar source may be used in any software to handle RAR archives
   without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used to re-create
   the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary. Distribution
   of modified Unrar source in separate form or as a part of other
   software is permitted, provided that it is clearly stated in
   the documentation and source comments that the code may not be used
   to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver.

It's not FOSS, given that it comes with the provision that no RAR compressor can be created based on unrar source code but for browsing and extracting RAR archives, the unrar source code as is is absolutely fine.

Google including it in android though means they can charge licenses as a per unit fee because, basically, Google (or phone manufacturers) is a company with money.

What? This has literally nothing to do with unrar's license terms.

Fedora simply takes what KDE offers, and the whole VRR etc. additions seem to cause tons of bugs.

Like any other distribution with KDE software.

But being the first to implement KDE releases… is problematic.

That comment makes little sense. Someone has to be the first. It's impossible for everyone to wait. Also waiting forever means that existing users are stuck with old bugs because the update is not coming out. The first Plasma 6.1 update has been released yesterday. Don't think Fedora users will have to wait forever for this.

Btw, Plasma is not the default desktop of Fedora. OP mentioned it but OP also talks about noobs who should stick to defaults anyway and also not make experiments with Atomic editions either.

just that Fedora’s function is typically regression testing for the money making product.

Fedora is not an LTS distribution but Fedora itself has as robust, if not more robust, QA leading up to a release as any other distribution.

the non LTS kernels often cause issues

In 10 years of using Fedora (granted: my current main Linux system is SteamOS but I do have hardware running Fedora as well but with Gnome as desktop in that case) I once had a kernel-related bug, IIRC involving some fairly new AMD hardware.

KDE is currently unstable again (while it worked perfectly on Plasma 6.0)

Unless you'd be so kind to point me to a direction that showed that your instability is because of Fedora and not some bug that suck into Plasma 6.1, you'd have the same bug under any other distribution with Plasma 6.1.

Some information in the documents appears to be in conflict with public statements by Google representatives

I would have never guessed that.

They turned off ads? Great. Can that be a standoff that lasts forever?
