Hardware is just starting to hit it’s stride. This problem will resolve itself within a couple years of new hardware releases and time for people to upgrade

So many people let perfect be the enemy of good. Firefox is great. It’s the pillar of non-Chromium of browsers. Servo and Ladybird are not there yet and will take many years to surpass Firefox if ever. A Firefox fork has a better shot than those 2

GIMP is great software. Is it just Photoshop and Affinity better than it. Not seeing as much hate on Inkscape when it’s just Adobe and Affinity as better.

OpenOffice is outdated but was good for like ~2010

A bunch of y’all would have been ragging on Blender 10 years ago. Ragging on Krita. In 2012 acting like gaming in Linux was doomed. In 2015 acting like Kdenlive would never reduce crashes and improve functionality. Acted like Darktable would never be competitive with Lightroom. Godot would be no good for anything more than 2d sidescrollers and never compete with Unity 5. A bunch of do nothing fence sitters. Firefox and GIMP developers contribute more to the good of humanity than anyone crying about them in this thread

If you’re offered the job, take it I guess because no one expects you to succeed. If the internal expectations are to focus on the following: Minecraft, CoD, Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, Candy Crush, then maybe this person will excel in that direction. Also all those being video games that found success before Microsoft

Actually trying to make Xbox a success, it’s been nearly 13 years of trying to course correct and probably a good amount north of 100 billion dollars and still no strong consistent lineup of new releases. Fable can knock it out the park but that would just be one single player AAA game hit for Xbox after 13 years. So I imagine her expectations are going to be in managing what’s proven profitable and winding down what’s been proven to be outside of what they’re good at

Keep increasing battery size and range until they’re ready to just go full EV

Ryubing has given me no trouble on Linux. Eden on Android is progressing. Things are slower but the takedowns started after things became solid

On a Redmagic 11 right now. I can run cyberpunk but instead I’ll play something lighter like Sifu or even lighter like Hades 2. Being able to play cyberpunk means I can play thousand’s of other games. It means any game that can run of a ps4 or lower can conceivably run on a high end android phone

Unity is a slow bleed. They’re going to keep losing indies to godot and it doesn’t look like they’ll out-compete Unreal for AAA. Anytime I read about unity, users complain about new features that are half baked coming out while the previous new features are still half baked. Screams marketing driven development rather than user driven

There’s very little content being produced for 8k. It’ll be nice someday when it’s the only option for televisions so it’s available at the cheapest 30"+ panels to the most expensive large ones. Play some old PC games at 8k 120hz HDR on a 150" television for the novelty and then 90% of the time on a 3440x1440 monitor

Still waiting for FFIX pixel hd remake. Or update the regular FFIX with that faster combat animations mod so it’s pleasant out the box

Forza Motorsport being a flop was most upsetting to me. Probably the best funded simcade game next to Gran Turismo with a long development time and they fall flat and it still doesn’t even work on Linux. Forza Motorsport should be low hanging fruit with their experience and budget and they still managed to drop the ball
