The Steam Deck is at least trying to attract the casual users in, and I feel like the Switch 2 getting hammered with bad press right now and getting destroyed by the Nintendo fanbase might convert a few people over to the Steam Deck too.

That sucks, how long before DR goes full Adobe and starts moving to a subscription model? And how long before Blackmagic paywalls some features on their cine cams like Canon started doing on their still cams?

I thought for sure the free version of DR was still a fully-featured suite and didn’t paywall anything ala Adobe, and what you got with the paid version was an actual upgrade over an already pretty powerful app.

I’d more likely argue they’re facilitating it, but that’s just me.

DaVinci Resolve also has a free version that’s a fully-featured editor with nothing locked behind a paywall, the benefit from buying the paid version is you get an actual upgrade in functionality over the already-pretty-powerful free version.

However it’s still a proprietary app so if that bothers you, then KdenLive seems like a good FOSS alternative to that.

Thanks!

Adobe’s been starting to get some pushback and people ditching them for FOSS alternatives lately, though. One of the more notable examples is James Lee as he details in his ‘How I Broke up with Adobe’ vid.

It used to be used as a place to post and find craft ideas, nowadays it’s just an AI cesspit.

First-party games are still fully on the cart and the Game-Key Cards are a cheap option for third parties, for now…

I personally don’t trust Nintendo to not try this on their first-party titles at some point though.

Not with the Switch 2 bringing back dongle DRM and applying it to downloaded games ala the Game-Key Card.

SuperTuxKart exists for a native Linux kart racer, and it’s FOSS on top of that. Oh, and since STK is FOSS, I can imagine there are some tracks as intricate as anything in modern MarioKart if not moreso, that the community around it made for it.

I already made a joke similar to this in another thread in another community, but… SteamOS does! What Windon’t.

Also, Endeavour is a thing if someone is a true newbie to the platform and is looking for a prebuilt distro, and archinstall nullifies a lot of the ‘difficulty’ in airquotes of installing Arch.

No prob!

Head Cleaner unironically sounds like something a group really would’ve called themselves.

I have and love them, in fact, Neocolors, or at least Neocolor I’s anyways, are basically just fancy crayons, if you’ve used crayons before, these are literally just a nicer version of that, and I have both Neocolors and your run-of-the-mill Crayola crayons, the latter having a far larger palette than the former (at least if you go for the 120-pack or larger) plus more specialty variants such as a glitter variant, for example, which can come in handy if you’re trying to replicate certain effects such as when sun reflects off water or snow, so I have something to compare, Neocolor II’s are the watercolor variant, and thanks!

I’m surprised no one put crayons on here yet (I don’t really care either way but it seems like something that would go on this thread).

You still have the Legion Go for a portable console with detachable controllers, but you’d ideally wipe Windows off of it and install ChimeraOS.

Stuff like this is a good ad for Pixelfed.

You mean firing everyone in power, repealing Citizens United and blocking corporate money from elections, and then electing young leaders who don’t have an ulterior motive and actually want to drive progress and improve things?

I’d be down with that but good luck actually pulling that off.
