OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!

The comment is already removed now, but OP’s post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there’s no moderation.

Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn’t helpful for anyone.

And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?

Did you comment in a wrong thread?

Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.

They’re not hacktivists, they’re just assholes.

Yep. When I switched out my Nvidia for AMD it was as plug-and-play as it gets.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here’s a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don’t think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

Yeah, gotta have that and all that Secure Boot with TPM bullshit, because I’m visualizing a company workstation and nothing will work without those.

Because for some reason, no matter what I try, Windows 10 desktop is laggy as hell on Qemu, and smooth out of the box on VirtualBox.

No, it is insane. I don’t know of other countries that allow a corporation to just not allow you to sue them and force you into arbitration.

Right, that’s why I’m not convinced this will ever actually release.

Abandoning all previous work, and the fact that new devs don’t exactly have experience with this genre…
I’m still gonna give it a try, but I’m not hopeful.

I’m surprised it’s not cancelled yet.

I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.

That’s not really on Valve though.

It’s the hardware makers that needs to step up and make sure their Linux drivers are well written.

I’m tired of having to install patched kernels to get basic functionality on laptops (looking at you Asus!).

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

users expect support when things don’t work

no shit, that’s why you refuse support for users with unsupported configurations.
This is not a new concept.
It’s standard for big companies to say they only support RHEL or Ubuntu, in every other case you’re on your own.

Instead of axing their entire Linux support they could just do the reasonable thing, which is ignore issues that are out of scope.

Or should they support users trying to run their software on Windows 95, just because it’s still technically Windows?

But they’re not - it’s the same old, tired excuse that was never true.

“Too many different distros” was never really a good argument.
Just support one and users will figure it out, like we always do.

I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.

Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?

And I remember when Java was actually used on the web.

I’d rather forget…

And if you work in a corpo, this memory might sadly be pretty fresh.

Proton Drive Linux desktop client and system integration for Calendar on Android are the main ones I remember.
