I'm actually not sure why RHEL8 and derivatives do struggle so much on the video playback front. Is there some complexity I am missing? For example VLC...

They probably don't compile PHP in the container; they probably do it at prep / provision time.
PHP has a lot of compile flags; the defaults cannot...

[kpedersen]

You also don't need containers to use a different version of PHP to the default install. Just compile it up from a tarball (or even from a modified srpm)...

Pretty much as many as Linux when it comes to servers.
When it comes to wifi NICs, I would suggest the BSDs are doing a little bit better.

Exactly. Would be very easy; embrace Linux, get in cahoots with hardware manufacturers to provide additional drivers licensed only for Microsoft's distro;...

It would be absurd if it didn't XD



No it isn't.

The IDE that comes with your distro will probably not support Android development. However a simple text editor and command line compiler will always...

[kpedersen]

I don't quite agree with this. I find it a bit too time consuming moving tooling around. For example, if you suddenly get a contract to develop an Android...

You saw an example just earlier in this thread. People will start projects using the Windows only IDE because they think that VSCode is the same thing...

Adobe Flash has made its way into many more games (including AAA) via Scaleform compared to Unity. So yes, people can make games out of any old turd....

[kpedersen]

Yes. Based on my experiences with C# in the past with its poor collection of bindings, weak platform debugging support and limited selection of build...

C'mon, I can't believe you fell for that Microsoft trick.

"We should use Visual Studio for this project, because I heard it also runs...

Agreed. These guys are still not able to reliably provide their original pinebook products to potential buyers. I'm not so sure adding more products to...

[kpedersen]

Avoiding future products based on past experiences with a company? Yes! This is a fairly normal thing to do.

Possibly also a reason why people...

All that really needs to happen is some marketing (probably by Valve) to state that games run faster on Proton than Windows.
And in some cases,...

[kpedersen]

Agreed. However, as heavy as the tool is; it allows developers to stay a bit more flexible than the actual Visual Studio IDE.
For example it allows...

The fact that GC's cannot be made 100% portable (they always have to make some assumptions on the platform) just doesn't sit right with me. It means that...
