The maintainer of the application chooses the categorie(s) but manually organizing things as an end user… is kinda dumb. Maybe I don’t understand your workflow (or why the Start Menu is the way it is now with all programs barfed into one list, I figured it was for touch devices). It doesn’t really matter, though, because search is used primarily now, anyways. Forgetting the name of the application is the only reason I can see digging through the Start Menu now.
Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.
I preferred their nested menus to what is there now, though I started using search as soon as it became a thing (Windows 7?). They should have really implemented categories (like in Linux) early on rather than having every suite have it’s own sub-menu in the Start Menu.
Before private lobbies in GTA, I remember blocking ports for GTA in my firewall except to my friends’ IP addresses, which worked for a while.
GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn’t call GTA mediocre at all. There’s nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you’ve played a few GTA clones, you’ll know what the competition looks like and it’s not even close.
I don’t want to discount what you saw, but I don’t think Linux gamers are even asking for official support. If they don’t want bug reports from Linux gamers because the reports would be “tainted” by an unsupported operating system, then they could have a banner on the submission page. I would argue, however, that they would be missing out on a lot of free bug testing where all of these companies are far too cheap to pay for proper bug testing these days.
At this point, Linux gamers would just appreciate the bare minimum being put forth with developers not breaking the games for them.
“in a world where search doesn’t exist, one man, one labrinth of folders he must click through.”
Apple does it too. Not that it’s any excuse.
Those are pretty crazy. Written by Chris Barnes, apparently.
What does Cannibal Corpse say? Other than stuff like I cum blood.
22-23 is where I’m comfortable.
Unless it’s broken where the hands are completely missing.
Ah, I skipped 8 and 8.1 but I didn’t really hear much complaining at the time.
Windows 10 was the start of the enshittification. Windows 7 was the best version of Windows, by far.
Ditto here. I always felt that the desktop environments were just way less polished than Windows, but I feel like it’s been the reverse now with KDE Plasma for the past couple years. I don’t feel like I’m taking a lesser experience for the sake of having control over my computer, at least anymore.
I would actually like if Windows went back to the Windows 7 era of… everything. At least there’d be some competition to Linux. Where it’s sitting right now with both Windows 10 and 11, I’d take a lesser experience under Linux if it meant that Microsoft wasn’t in charge of everything. It’s my computer.
It’s just something that people are excited about. It’s also mind-boggling how people complain so much about a product but refuse to replace it. Yeah, I get it how there’s software that only runs on Windows; this is something that should be fixed. We shouldn’t be stuck on a shitty OS with no other options due to required software. That’s the thing about Linux, you can customize it to be whatever you want, whereas you’re stuck with whatever Microsoft gives you with Windows. Just the idea that a single company has control over everything is wrong. I don’t really care if Linux wins out in the end, I just want choice in what OS I can run. That’s it.
I see it more of a response of the dumpster fire that is Windows and Microsoft.
I’d love to see another player, but I don’t think this is it.
