@glyph Did you quote post something?

@glyph @cthos FWIW valve have said on the record that they are actively working on another way. It's also worth noting that Easy Anti Cheat doesn't need kernel level access, and seems to work correctly in the games I play that use it.

@glyph I was just telling a bunch of my friends that I unironically believe that 2026 is the year of Linux on the Desktop.

[cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev]

@fancysandwiches @glyph it does! Dead by Daylight, for example, works great for me.

@morgan “Why push a Fedora distro these days?”

What's wrong with Fedora? It works perfectly well and is well-maintained. I've been a moderately satisfied Fedora user for 20 years…

@ubernostrum @glyph @morgan Why not Windows?

[morgan@meepletrove.social]

@krans @ubernostrum @glyph the initial complaint was that it was confusing for someone new to Linux to install a deb file on Fedora, which seems trivial for someone who's used Linux for some time however not to someone new.

Reality is this was the first experience and that experience was, why did the file that Discord gave me for Linux not work on Linux?

@mcc @glyph I've started using an old laptop with not much installed on it for toy code and other things that I enjoy that feel less related to the messes around us.

@glyph hooray! a new and awful way to tell people that every symptom is probably cancer!

@glyph I had an astonishingly similar experience prior to passkeys. It was a nightmare to understand and navigate. Microsoft layered Passkeys on top of a mountain of shit hoping that suddenly the smell might be less obvious. It isn't.

@glyph I went to play a little Minecraft recently and they had deleted my account with no path to recovery to play the game I paid for fair and square. I would never recommend people buy anything from them.

@mirth bummer :-(. the migration window was open for like … 10 years, but my spouse also almost missed it, and only caught it by luck. she either didn’t get, spam-trapped, or didn’t read the relevant migration spam and she only noticed that she needed to do a manual migration because she happened to get a new machine and thus lost her old-style auth cookie a few months before it closed forever
