You speak of copyright infringement. Some people call it IP theft but in reality it has nothing to do with stealing in the traditional sense of the word (such as stealing a bicycle). You can't actually steal something that's still there after you "take it."

AMD will go back to the same strategy they had with the RX 580. They don't plan to release high end cards next generation. It seems they just want to pump out a higher volume of mid-tier (which is vague and subjective) while fixing hardware bugs plaguing the previous generation.

Hopefully, this means we can game on a budget while AMD is focusing primarily on marketshare.

Zoom and Google Meets have both worked better for me.

Probably to avoid "Facebook" people (angry middle aged Republicans and easy to swindle old folks).

just the kind of person who enjoys being a contrarian

I thought the end was slightly passive aggressive. It wasn't bad at all.

The other user did namecall first but I think we of the Linux community have to remember we used free software out of ethics. Things seem more rosy and user-friendly comparatively now but you have to remember the people who have the same ethics will "stick it out" regardless of the end user experience.

I thought your first post was slightly aggressive but this post goes too far. We should be preaching the ethics of free software first; while always remembering everyday ethics so we don't end up as hypocrites.

From what I'm hearing, Microsoft wants to ban anti-cheat and plenty of other kernel-space software. They are possible security issues (along with all of Windows).

Hopefully, they would start a rival company. That would be fascinating to see.

I have a lot of respect for Sway and wlroots developers. They contributed heavily to the desktop Linux ecosystem. However, if you need to explain that much at first boot; you may overload some users. I'm sure tiling in Plasma will get better as they splify configuration and figure out better defaults.

It would be a pleasant surprise to see someone in his class receive a punishment (that is completely deserved) that is more than "a slap on the wrist."

If the tiling is automatic and the users dont know how to change the size of the window manually (if that window manager allows that).

To the Kwin maintainer, I can see why tiling isn't a bigger deal. It's not exactly about copying Windows; it's more about not confusing most users. We already see tiling features, I'm sure they will figure out (1) more powerful features or (2) a way for other people to build off what they have. Let them cook.

I do agree that Linux will never be a Windows clone. There's no purpose in copying decades worth of bad decisions. Windows isn't great, it's just always compatible with hardware.
