On the nose number…
Missing window decorations? Just import GTK, and use it for your multi-platform application, despite you’re using OpenGL/Vulkan for everything else. Alt key trying to bring up a menu in your game? That’s just expected behavior. (Yes, GNOME devs really tried to tell me, that the Alt key opened the menubar in Unreal/UT99, and that it should be in every PC game.)
I hate everything GTK/GNOME, they didn’t even call it
gnobject.
Linux usually just uses C API, most of which reads horribly. Libevdev is quite notorious for using files and the docs not telling you that the reading is blocking. Some additional things use C++ classes though.
Will this finally be the end of Windows?
Also fun fact: Windows uses a lot of COM Interfaces for API, which in my opinion often makes developing for Windows a better experience, than developing for Linux. Rust does not have anything OOP related by default, and are often emulated with macros instead, like in C.
Meanwhile my ThinkPad L440 will soon receive an upgrade to 16 GB of RAM. (I wonder if I can get a CPU upgrade to a Core i7)
They’re genAI assets within the engine’s default ones.
From what I’ve heard, the placeholders came from some stock Unreal engine textures they used and forgot to replace.
That’s why I prefer D’s approach for memory safety. Sure, it’s not as well featured as Rust’s, however it has “fat pointers”, three levels of safety, and kind of optional garbage collector.

Sure it’s bad, but have you considered if it was even worse?
— the state propaganda
Rust was among the first more well known projects, which adopted a Code of Conduct, then grifters in the OSS community cried censorship, which made people flock to it to “own the right”. Even if I think it’s an overrated marriage of flesh between C and OCaml, Code of Conducts are generally a good thing, and the people who really like toxic callouts arre more of an anomaly, and likely were flown there due to the culture war stuff.
Most complaint against Rust is fucking culture war, not technical, so people who actually have technical concerns with Rust are being lumped together with Brian Lunduke and others.
It would be higher if they counted the on-site generators.
On the forums asking for help.
Getting help with Linux 15-20 years ago: some forum full with slurs telling you to google it
Getting help with Windows 15-20 years ago: “Do this and this, if that fails look up data backup methods before the reinstall.”
Getting help with Linux now: various Wikis and blogs. The hazard of finding an AI hallucinated blog post is significant, but can be blocked.
Getting help with Windows now: support forums owned by Microsoft filled with users telling they have the same issue, and AI agents hallucinating solutions.
Amazing idea! A great open source GPU needs some well designed shader cores, and I kid you not that name is very punchy and memorable. It’s not only just a silly hobby — it’s also a very important thing in the ever changing landscape of silicon giants like nVidia and Intel.
<poorly recites the leaked documentation of the VideoCore QPU>
I need to resurrect my open source GPU architecture plans ASAP. Who wants to help me to plan out the VideoDSP shader cores?
Or promise to drop the “cosplaying in red” part of their “communism”.
