johncena141 changed their compression _AGAIN_. I think they've actually gone backwards now and started using LZMA2 (.tar.xz) again.
@crunklord420 they're the linux scene right? ive heard of it before but i think only in relation to linux gaming
@graf they're not "scene", they're basically repackers but they redistribute native linux games. They also repack windows games with wine but honestly I think that is kinda gay, it only makes sense to ease in Linux noobs who don't know how to do wine stuff themselves.

They're super autistic about compression. It's probably changed like 6 or 7 times now. There was a huge pushback from all their special snowflake compression, one of which was a closed source program. gz, zstd, xz, zpaq, dwarfs, FreeArc'Next.
@LukeAlmighty @crunklord420 bro proton and the steam deck takes out like 99% of the issue
gaming on linux is actually becoming viable because of steam and its fucking cool
>be me
>have a linux [sic]
>dev work amazingly because linux [sic]
>play any game i want because of proton/steamdeck
why do people even use windows

@fluffy @crunklord420 @graf
Because driver installation, setting up wine etc...

Ok... my list now would be:
User rights management
Running processes
That god damn file system
Fuck package manager centric culture
Drivers
Setting up Wine
Freezes (because of driver I guess?)
Do, that should cover the basics.
