Oracle, the hero we deserve, but not the one we need.

ryannathans OP ,

honestly could never have seen myself on the same team as oracle until I read this lmao

less “on the same team”, more “interests temporarily aligned”

@PupBiru The enemy of my enemy is sometimes just the relatively smaller asshole

Being on the receiving end makes you pretend to be humble.

Edit: okay, nothing humble about that.

When Oracle of all companies calls you out... you might be the baddie.

But they couldn't keep Solaris open and free. What a bunch of hypocrites.

That horrible feeling when the person you loathe says something completely correct!

technologicalcaveman , in This again: What distro are you using for gaming?

Been using arch, don't have issues. Sometimes it doesn't play nice with dwm, but if I switch to xfce then games run without issue. My current computer has an nvidia gpu, next one will be entirely amd based.

8565 ,

Do you have issues? I run a 12th gen I7 and a 2070 Super and everything just works

technologicalcaveman ,

Not really. If I do it's usually because of my weak components. Dwm causes issues sometimes but it's just cause whatever I'm playing doesn't know what to do with a tiling window.

"By the way, if you are a Linux developer who disagrees with IBM’s actions and you believe in Linux freedom the way we do, we are hiring." brought a smile to my face :D

International Business Machines is on the ropes!

gruedragon , in This again: What distro are you using for gaming?

Currently using Debian 12.

@jakwithoutac

I haven’t gotten Lutron’s to install anything on debian 12. Was run into some wine error while installing games.

Do you have any guides you used?

SFaulken , in Is Nobara tied in with all the Redhat Drama?
@SFaulken@kbin.social avatar

No, nothing RedHat is doing affects Nobara. Nobara is based on Fedora, which is upstream of RedHat. Nothing is changing.

DylanVee OP ,
@DylanVee@kbin.social avatar

I heard the guy working on Nobara works at Redhat tho. Idk what this means but if It doesn't mean anything for Fedora then it should be fine right?

SFaulken ,
@SFaulken@kbin.social avatar

I have no idea who signs his paychecks, but no, none of the announcement about the RHEL Sources affects Fedora in any way, unless Nobara is pulling sources from RHEL (which it isn't) this doesn't affect it at all. Nobara isn't an official Fedora, or RedHat product or project.

DylanVee OP ,
@DylanVee@kbin.social avatar

oh okay cool. thank you.

Questy , in Is Nobara tied in with all the Redhat Drama?
@Questy@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not knowledgeable enough to have a clue about the original question since I’m pretty new to Linux overall. Just wanted to say that I selected Nobara for my gaming PC and it’s been a pretty smooth ride. My windows drive is second in the boot order and is probably starting to feel a bit neglected.

Thankfully, even with IBM playing tricks like that, there's enough linux distros around these days that killing them all feels unlikely.

Though, that said, it's certainly not a trend I want to see continue either. It does feel conflicting to be cheering on oracle though...

techviator , in Keep Linux Open and Free—We Can’t Afford Not To

Oracle: Hey RedHat, there's only enough space for one open-source-crippling company, and it's already occupied by us!

Too bad that sub didn’t have a seat for Larry.
