That was a plot point in Cryptonomicon. And yeah the XFree86 docs mentioned it too…

If it was sold at a loss, businesses would scrape the whole supply and pave them for windows desktops.

I’ve been using Ganeti for like 15 years now, and I’m not sure what proxmox offers besides a nice GUI. I know how Ganeti works and getting up to speed on a new one doesn’t seem super interesting to me. Is anyone here familiar with both?
Yeah, actually. The proprietary drivers unfortunately.
Consider not responding with all the reasons someone’s lived experience is impossible in future.
I’m glad you’re here to tell me how my experience the last 30 years was. Thank you for enlightening me as to how my choices were wrong and how I was silently suffering.
I gamed on Debian. I was so wrong.
Bit of selection bias.
Car shops are full of cars that have problems. Why would you be at a shop if you didn’t? Same with forums.
News to me. I’m running GloriousEggroll with proton 10…
That really was not my experience. I didn’t game much. WoW mostly. Some StarCraft. Minecraft. Online games. Debian unstable worked fine and I don’t think I had to compile my own kernel (for gaming) at any point past 2005 or so.
I’ve always enjoyed the tinkering. My gaming habits pretty much grew up with WINE. DXVK was very exciting!
Never been a stranger to compiling my own kernel or mucking about with DLL overrides.
Consistent branding over multiple decades!
I’m okay with it.
Debian since 1998. No reason to change.
FVO readable for future me, it’s not so bad. I don’t have to worry about other people so much. :)
Sure. Nothing stopping you writing readable well commented perl. Just avoid some of the more terse statements. It can be a challenge though.
Shrug. If you don’t like Perl, don’t use it.
It certainly has its issues. I find that the things people have trouble with are the things I tend to like about it. Of course, reading it later is a problem sometimes. :)
Write only language!
I still reach for it sometimes.
Big factor behind his divorce, iirc.
