Yeah gaming on Linux can be frustrating at times. Some games work perfectly out of the box, some don’t even start or lag a lot. Especially on Nvidia graphics things get complicated. I’m an AMD user and everything is mostly working fine, but a friend of mine uses Nvidia and he struggles more with driver issues and missing Wayland support.

If all I did was just office tasks and browsing the web, I’d completely switch to Linux as well. But as a gamer, things start to become complicated very soon. Some games run perfectly fine, some don’t run at all. It’s hit or miss. That’s why I keep Windows around and boot it almost daily. But the situation of gaming on linux is improving currently, so I’m hoping for a bright future…

I’ve already switched to Linux partially. My PC now dual boots to Manjaro and Windows. I won’t switch completely, but it’s great to have such an awesome alternative right there one click of a button away. And the funny thing is that I’m not even the only one amongst my friends to do that. We are now three already and we even game on Linux too.

I guess your brain implant will probably kill you before the end of your favourite playlist. Just like all those test animals.

That’s a valuable Idea. If I force them to use the secret chats option, then they maybe notice that Telegram is worthless without all the flashy stuff and is not private at all. And it’s at least a step forward into the right direction.

I don’t think WhatsApp is a good option. Their clients are not Open Source, so it’s unknown if they really implement all the privacy features of the Signal client. Also, Facebook and WhatsApp are known to collect every single bit of Metadata they can get, it’s really bad. I wouldn’t touch it again, under any circumstances. I’m glad that nobody I know uses it, at least inside my circle of friends. Some still use it for outside connections or family members.

And they have some weird crypto scams running in the background as well.

I know, but their server doesn’t. And since everyone uses it without the secret chats feature, they could read every message we exchange.

Germany, 25. Always driven manual, don’t even know how to drive automatic.

Five soldiers of specialized anti terrorism forces battle against some other five soldiers of those same forces, to defuse a bomb. But for some reason all of these operators are from the same countries and task forces and should actually work together. Also the servers of this game are shit.

I’m not upset in any way about Sync. It seems like a quality app with a different business model.

What I’m actually upset about is people claiming open source apps are shitty and only Sync is possible to provide a good experience. That’s just pure bs

I’m sorry to say, but you seem to be clueless in the world of software engineering. Open vs closed source does not make any software better or worse. This solely depends on the talent and will of the developers to create a good app for you. That can happen in both worlds, but just because an app is not open source doesn’t make it better in any ways. Rethink it. Sync might be a nice client, but you’re dependent on this one dev to always deliver a good experience and keep updating, whereas if it was open source,you could be sure someone would continue the work and help fix some issues if anything was to happen. Open source has a lot of potential. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking it’s worse in any way. It’s not.
