This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

It's a thing in the Linux world and it's just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don't support it.

Guy is hundred percent right. Lemmy is a echo chamber for a certain demographic as vast majority of users are in it.

We either have tech, or politics. Literally every topic ends up in either. We also don't have the differing opinions aspect as just about every debater talks like they're just the different shade of the same color.

Even spicy news that would make any other site a warzone of opinions just echo chambered here. Literally everyone agrees on one conclusion and random two comments that disagree with that having at least -15 points.

Social(ist) policies are extremely removed from socialism. The countries people list here, aka Canada, Danmark and Ireland among others are extremely capitalist still. This thread is therefore useless.

Go play Half Life Alyx, a "real" game on Source 2.

What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?

Best solution: Stop using Chrome.

It's not the fastest nor the most feature rich anymore, not even the simplest.

Have you considered people are mad because:

• Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.

• Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.

• Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn't help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.

• Having a subscription for features that don't cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.

• The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.

• Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.

Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync's UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don't see myself recommending Sync to friends.

Even if it was all gamers, that'd push a lot of companies to care about Linux a whole lot more. Venn diagram of people who spend a lot of money in tech stuff and people who play games is almost a circle nowadays.

If she's coming from Windows, Mint is a much better choice with Cinnamon

It's not even available in my own country to begin with lmao.

I wonder why.

Absolutely! Using open source software is much cheaper, as well. Hiring developers to work on open source software/OSs would cost less than buying software annually. Governments pay stupid amounts of money for easily replaceable software.
