Excluding hardware (microcode, UEFI, etc); within my Linux system, the only proprietary software I have installed are Nvidia drivers and Steam (installed via flatpak). When I first made the switch to Linux, I was actually shocked at the minimal amount of proprietary software I actually used/needed.

Undoubtedly

I don’t think it ships with a desktop environment by default; I think they’re just referring to the Qt framework. If it is mentioning a desktop environment - it’s probably LXQt.

LMAO. Microsoft really made Windows Server and won’t even use that crap themselves.

Buster clearly disapproves of the upgrade.

Or as I’ve taken to calling it; GNU+Linux

Fr. Had me thinking ASUS Motherboards. Really had me going there😅

I’m still in shock how quickly they have progressed.

TLDR; It started as a young teen who just wanted to get games for free; It continues because companies don’t give two flying hoots about me.

Currently, I pirate because I can’t rightfully give any money to these anti-consumer companies that will only victimize me. I can’t own anything anymore, and this absolutely frustrates me. If I could own the media I purchase, I wouldn’t pirate anymore. (by this I mean I wouldn’t pirate the media I consume. I’d still data hoard because it’s a literal addiction, please help!!)

I don’t pirate games anymore; or better said, I rarely pirate games, and when I do they’re ran in a VM with VFIO because I really don’t like the idea of running arbitrary code on my system; even though we have reputable, vetted, and trustworthy groups. (As a general rule, I don’t trust what I can’t verify.) I buy all my games on Steam for convenience, and I opt to use Goldberg’s Steam Emulator (which is open source!!) to store backups of my games, and this setup works wonderfully! I stay away from games with invasive DRM like Denuvo (I play these in a VM), and I’ve long stopped buying EA and Ubisoft games. The only forms of media I pirate nowadays are movies, and music (and the occasional game).

This makes me feel good about my 300+ open tabs😅

Too bad I’m on Linux.

Google can go to hell.

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

Nothing, because I won’t have an internet connection…

And our harddrives ;)

Time, and time again, they prove how piracy is literally THE only option when it comes to preserving media.

The team behind Yuzu was also the team behind Citra so unfortunately Citra is gone as well. But Citra has also been forked so source code is still available.

THANK YOU!!

There’s a plethora of places. Github, Codeburg, Sourceforge. I’m definitely missing some others too. (There’s also Gitlab but I don’t really recommend Gitlab because of some recent decisions)

I rushed this post too quickly. I forgot that the official tar file links to github. THANK YOU
