It sucks for gaming.

Both have excellent voice chat.

What’s New in LibreOffice 26.2

Hundreds of bug fixes and stability improvements contributed by the global LibreOffice community.

See the Release Notes for the full list of new features.

Markdown, great!

Also, I’m curious about the UI refinement.

some hope

I read this news as: “The Linux proof of concept has graduated and will be merged into the main app”.

I would love to see the OS share. I bet us Linux users are all over it, since right now it is the only tool we can use to do all of that in the same place and easily.

How does it compare (as it is right now) to other open source games similar to Minecraft ?

I had the same experience. Bazzite 41 or 42 (can’t remember) fixed it for me.

Are there issues? Sure. HDR’s still a crapshoot…

Untrue.

Edit: I effortlessly use it on Bazzite. What’s the issue you guys are having?

Fortnite devs have chosen to actively not support Linux. Meaning, they have made sure it doesn’t work on Linux, on purpose. It will never work on Linux because they want it not to work on it.

Dual boot, or no Fortnite.

I’m using it with CoMaps, freaking great.

Emphasizing the role of downstreams (ex. Bazzite) in delivering to the needs of users, by providing a commons for Fedora-based gaming focused downstreams to acheive common goals.

I wonder what they mean by that and how that will materialize, how exactly will they help downstreams and if that will have any weight.

Thank you so much for RD, it’s awesome!

I dream of RomM integration. I wonder if Playnite for Linux will come first.

now that Affinity is coming to Linux

Wait, what?

Edit: I’ve only found this and if this site were to be trusted, I would take it with a grain of salt. https://techcentral.co.za/affinity-for-linux-canvas-next-big-move-could-reshape-the-desktop-software-market/274861/

Agreed, if you grew using another program, switching is hard unless it’s UX/UI is superb.

When I ditched Adobe, Inkscape was a breeze. GIMP is hard AF and Krita a bit easier but it doesn’t have the features I need. I ended up using Photopea, and now I’ve tried Affinity and it’s the best Photoshop alternative I’ve tried yet.

Collabora is looking pretty good so far. Still a few rough edges but easier than any other FOSS office software.

If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn’t host it yourself.

AGPL works for me. Good to know.

I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.

I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.

Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.

Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?

Not me, my kids (4 & 7). I wouldn’t play a mobile game, I just want some apps that I can’t avoid and aren’t available on desktop.

F*ck yesss, Waydroid for the lazy like me!
