From an colleague of mine, who bought an M1 Macbook Pro when they were new; he told me that there was a Wine fork (don’t know the name sadly) for Apple silicon which kinda worked with most (older) Steam games, not as nice as Proton on x86-64 Linux, but good enough for his game tastes. Don’t know if it’s still maintained or not…
Yes, I understand that GNOME (3+) has a place in Linux/*nix world and that, from a common user’s perspective, it might be enough or even more intuitive than Windows and MacOS ever were. Blind hating never helped anyone, especially in FOSS.
For me, as someone outside the common user’s realm, the weird aftertaste of internal dev drama and their decisions which features are “needed” and which are not needed (server-side decorations, tray-items, etc.) deter me from using GNOME more than the annual one-month tryout (“Maybe it isn’t that limiting to me as I thought?”).
Okay, I’ll bite:
Why GNOME? I personally find it very limiting, especially when attempting a Vanilla GNOME config.
“Rules for thee, not for me.”
Nah, I love me some Torx (especially T15 or T20), and maybe Pozi, if you need a cross-slit screw head, but plain PH? Miss me with that.
It’s just standard LaTeX beamer, used by many math and CS professors (and sometimes even by undergrads, due to formatting requirements).
This is the only part I despise of forum culture like MDL or the likes.
If you have a solution, or even better: if you have written software or a guide for this, please just publish it online.
