I don’t have space for servers at home, so I use Tailscale to expand my home lab with a couple of VPS; the nice thing is that I can just block all ingress traffic in my provider’s control panel (Hetzner in my case) and just use these machines as they were part of my LAN, and I don’t have to worry about things like Docker exposing stuff to the public internet

I jumped on Stadia with Resident Evil 8: on PC (Win 10) I had constant frame drops with Chrome, fixed by installing Chrome Canary. Not a great start, but after that the game played perfectly. Then I got the chromecast ultra + pad bundle, too bad by the time it arrived I already completed Resident Evil; the onboarding is kinda silly, having to download one app to set up the chromecast and one to set up the controller, logging in to Google twice.. but the real problem is the selection of available games. Very very few recent/new games, a bunch of random indie games, a bag of generic old shooters… and that’s it

I think that currently there are some games in Apple Arcade that works on macOS, iOS and Apple TV; that said we’re not talking about the usual AAA games of course.

Mobile games will continue being mobile games.

;)

That's the only type of game that can work on both desktop and mobile.

The open-source version also lack any data retention option, meaning that your only option is to let the database grow indefinitely; you can manually delete stuff from the db, but last time I've checked that was not recommended.

Deploying Mattermost is not ideal, as the server requires write access to its JSON configuration file and will overwrite it from time to time, which makes using any configuration manager pointless: after upgrading mattermost you have to fetch the "updated" configuration file from your server and import it back into your configuration manager (and since it's JSON you might get different key sorting and indentation offset).

Despite the above I like Mattermost and I've been regularly using it for more than 1 year, basically for free.

In 5.10 Mattermost added the ability to move the configuration to the database, which solves the issue of having a config.json file. This also has the advantage of versioning your configuration in the database which makes rolling back changes very easy.

Oh my thank you so much for this, I’m getting lost in the related videos showing the same song played on all kind of devices

MUCH TAME!

People keep saying "it works for me, go away", as if other people who care about a DECENT desktop experience are just morons.

"Ah! Another stupid windows/osx user!"

I don't care about your fvwm desktop with 99 xterms and emacs everywhere, or your fully customized arch linux that "works for you"; I, like many other people, have different needs. And yet the general response from the community is "fuck off".

First rule of desktop linux: you do not complain about desktop linux.

Greetings from the year 2011.

No - not true. There are glitches but none of them a dealbreaker. I am not a masochist - if it caused me pain I would have stopped using Linux on my laptop years ago.

Much of what I do is commandline. So a not atypical work setup is to have some kind of messenger, a browser, a terminal and thunderbird running.

That is 95% of my day and it works great. I would switch if it didn't. I am not trying to play the Linux version of the longbearded UNIX grump (http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1995-06-24/) .

Really it works great and I would not willingly go back to Windows. And would grudgingly go back to MacOS.

I don't understand the flipside - why people complain about Linux desktop. You should make it work or go back to your OS of choice.

I get sucked into these articles because I think I might learn something or see something in a different way. THey almost always disapoint.

> You should make it work or go back to your OS of choice.

I'm not sure that's even possible. If the complaint is a lack of drivers and poor support for hardware, how is the average developer supposed to deal with that?

Well to be fair I saw a lot of people downvoted on HN because they got valid points criticizing OS X or even Rails, so your first rule applies in some other situations too, at least here, maybe it's a problem about discussions on the internet...

I use a Mac so I understand their criticisms sometimes, sometimes I think they're just whining, as I think of this article.

I think that an article about a switch for Windows would have been much better.
