    this article suggests it’s gonna depend on your laptop’s specs, if you’ll be able to play it in 4k or not, so if it’s an old computer it may not run depending on how old, or you may need to buy something or set something up to make it work:

    Can My Laptop Output 4k?

    The resolution of an external display depends on that display and the graphic card of the laptop. An NVIDIA 600 series and up with the help of either an HDMI cable or DisplayPort; AMD Radeon 79xx/78xx/77xx series and higher, R7 or R9 270 or higher will be sufficient enough.




  • What is it, I don’t understand what it is to be used for

    termux is a shell that can be used on android, and there are various shells on desktop, so I guess this is like termux but also with the ability to run the same on both desktop and mobile? That’s interesting, although the comments on another article suggest the project is in a state of incompletion

    maybe a few proprietary apps?

    I also dunno why linux users don’t promote more, most people don’t use it simply because they don’t know of it, in my opinion, not because it’s too complicated or other reasons people bring up

    the steam deck release might mainstream linux use more later next year maybe




  • Linux is not yet there as a daily driver for the average desktop user

    ehhh it’s mostly about marketing, a kind of catch 22 situation - it’s there enough for a lot of needs, and the desires that people have beyond what’s available could probably be added in if more people started using it


  • I’m sold more in the public domain direction

    “The public domain is only as public as you allow it to remain”

    Well I don’t find copyleft to be fully public, as it forces people to use the license and worry about abiding by its terms and about using compatible licenses and all of those kind of issues

    “The copyleft is much closer to a socialist/anarchist abolition of property”

    It’s not though in my view, it’s basically enforced by government and closes off commercial use sometimes and forces people to go along with whatever the rules are with the license; it’s like an authoritarian socialism, and definitely not anarchist as that would allow you to do whatever you want with the code (public domain would be anarchist, to me)

    So the forced socialism isn’t really anarchist I guess is what I mainly don’t like, it probably requires just getting rid of intellectual property / IP altogether though to have actual / complete software freedom


  • ironically to me the fsf doesn’t even offer truly “free” software which would be software in the public domain

    it would take probably getting rid of “intellectual property” altogether to get to that point tho, I’m aware of issues that exist with the current “public domain”, although I wish people and the FSF would recognize this alternative vision of what some people think free software is or at least be aware of it when describing their vision
