Windows XP Pro was the last Windows that you could install on as many of your machines as you wanted without contacting M$. When I found that out, I knew that XP would be my last Windows and that I would inevitably switch to Linux. When XP became totally obsolete, I permanently switched over to Linux Mint. I've never gone back to Windows and I have zero reason to ever do so. I promote Linux whenever I can.
I haven't bought anything yet, but I noticed that retro kart racer Super Indie Karts is 70% off.
Best just to boycott those games/companies and play/promote Linux-friendly games.
Yes, ProtonDB is full of very helpful information for getting tons of games up and running flawlessly. I always check it before I launch any new non-native Linux games from Steam.
I use Pulsar for working on my many JavaScript projects. It's a FOSS, community-maintained replacement for the canceled Atom text editor.
I've been using Firefox since 2002 when it first became available, at that point it was called Mozilla. It's definitely the browser that I've used the most in about 25 years of browsing the Internet from home. Firefox has a great native Linux version and seems to be widely promoted by most distros. Since switching to Linux seven years ago I also started using Chromium (not to be confused with Chrome) and Opera, both of which also have great native Linux versions.
Fascinating news. On the statcounter site I also read that India's Linux use stats for July, 2023 were at 14.15%. Incredible!
Considering that not many people use BSD or the others, I would guess that most of the "unknowns" are actually Linux users. That means we're probably already at over 6%. :-)
Great news, and a big thanks to the hard working developers! I want to try out the Lua scripting at some point.
Besides the original Morrowind, I've also read that both of the major mods, Morrowind Rebirth and Arktwend (which has a special OpenMW port available on NexusMods), can be played using OpenMW.
I use the terminal in a variety of circumstances (like working on Node.js and other programming projects) where there is either no good GUI alternative or using a CLI is actually faster. I've been using computers since 1989 and my first operating system was MS-DOS, so the thought of using a CLI when necessary doesn't bother me.
