Not wanting to elect dictators is anti-democracy!

Basically the same logic

Ironically, they were probably afraid of the very explicit litigiousness of Nintendo.

Two solutions:

  • different names ( like Sony )
  • different positions ( like Microsoft )

Third solution:

  • get sued by Nintendo

Maybe they did some early testing and got feedback that people liked the button names being the same as Nintendo. Or maybe they read criticism about Sony using different names.

Maybe they were originally the same and then the legal dept depended a swap too late to change the actual names.

Maybe none of this stuff.

As you can see, I find the legal system to be a bigger threat and generally more frustrating than Microsoft.

Thanks for this. I use Distrobox a lot and did not know this.

Dealing with legacy software is a huge problem for Windows. I feel like it is a much smaller problem for Linux.

Gamers will certainly be hit. But a lot of the workload in games is the GPU of course, which can be native.

What other ARM software are you thinking of?

Why boot and swap? Even /root is probably unnecessary.

It does use systemd. It uses SELinux and dnf as well. It seems to be patterned in Fedora or CentOS Stream. There is no desktop environment.

It is for running on Azure and is the base under WSL.

SAMBA? Did you mean Azure blob storage?

The command-line is not just faster, it is also much more universal.

You and I may use different distros and different desktop environments. If you want to create instructions that tell us how to do something using the GUI, there is an excellent chance you need different instructions for each of us. If you instead give us CLI instructions, there is an excellent chance that the same instructions will work for both of us.
