It translates Windows API calls to X and POSIX API calls. Theoretically it comes with a performance hit but as benchmarks have shown that is usually not the case as both Wine and the entire system as a whole are more efficient than Windows. Wine will fail whenever an application requests an API call that is not implemented yet, sometimes copying DLLs from Windows helps, sometimes…

You don’t have to distro hop to switch desktop environments. You can install KDE Plasma (5.27 though) on LinuxMint.

Better late than never. I hope the momentum continues.

If you want a Webkit-based browser just use GNOME Web (formerly known as Epiphany).

The inclusion of references to an independent Palestine was the price the US paid for backing from the Arab and Islamic world, who are expected to provide peacekeepers for an international stabilisation force (ISF).

The language fell far short of the firm commitment to the building of a Palestinian state alongside Israel sought by Arab and Islamic states, as well as European council members, but in speeches to the chamber after the vote, delegates from those countries said they were prepared to accept the compromise in the interests of extending the current truce and immediate measures to feed and protect the 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Not ideal, far from it. But it is something that even the Biden administration wasn’t willing to give the Palestinians. It makes it harder for Israel to annex Palestine, but it provides no real promise or timeline for statehood. I do believe that time is on the Palestinians’ side which is why Israel had to be as violent and brutal as it did and commit a genocide while the whole world was watching. Israel had a clear goal of forcing the Palestinians out of their lands, and despite the high toll, they failed. Instead they turned themselves into pariahs and hastened their demise despite the US-led rule-based-order that guarantees their safety.

No, otherwise I wouldn’t have used GNOME in the past. I stopped using it because it changed too much for me not because its logo is a smelly foot. I also think KDE Khas Kterrible Kbranding but I still use it now that I prefer it to GNOME and got bored with MATE.

This is why I typically refer to it as GNU+Linux and not just Linux. Two different and incompatible operating systems can use the same kernel just look at Android and GNU+Linux. Each of the BSDs is a complete operating system (userland + kernel).

macOS has a terminal and sometimes you will still have to use it even if not as often as *Linux, except that it works differently from GNU+Linux distros and even from BSD that you will have fewer resources to rely on.

It looks like you want SteamOS. I recommend either getting a Steam Deck, wait for the Steam Machine or install it compatible hardware if you have any. No Nvidia GPUs.

SteamOS checks all three requirements for the most part, maybe 3 not so much. But it will be near impossible to fuck it up as it has a read-only filesystem and all apps are installed through flatpak which are sandboxed similar to apps on iOS.

Instead of kink shaming Destiny, it is more relevant and damning to mention his support for the genocide in Gaza and his advise for Israeli soldiers to not film themselves committing war crimes.

Unlikely, but they will carve a niche for themselves for people who want more than just a console, perhaps it will win over some people who cross shop consoles and PCs. More importantly it will help grow GNU+Linux.

The US did to North Korea what Israel did to the Gaza Strip. It is the same violent settler-colonial mentality. Then USians act surprised that North Korea wants to have nuclear weapons.

This is how the US assessed the damage after 3 weeks of bombing:

• Ch’osan – 85%
• Hoeryong (Hoeryŏng) – 90%
• Huich’on (Hŭich’ŏn) – 75%
• Kanggye – 75%
• Kointong – 90%
• Manp’ochin – 95%
• Namsi – 90%
• Sakchu – 75%
• Sinuichu – 60%
• Uichu – 20%

The bombing continued for 3 years… Only stopped when the US ran out of targets. “Pyongyang, which saw 75% of its area destroyed, was so devastated that bombing was halted as there were no longer any worthy targets.[30][31] By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea.[32]”

As someone who previously owned a GameCube and a G4 Cube, I’m definitely getting the Steam Cube Machine.

But you miss a very important difference.

Good. Reparations for the US destroying North Korea, and just barely.

I remember when Obama AOC was the hope

It was too ambitious and the economy wasn’t able to make it happen. Still other projects such as Riyadh Metro were successful.

People believe this shit and it is wild. Osama Bin Laden was opposed to the Saudi government and living in exile having had his citizenship revoked many years before 2001 while he was still working with the CIA stirring shit up in Central Asia.
