At this point, making something that doesn't work using Wine or Proton is actually kind of an achievement, so congrats EA, you managed to fuck up both Origin and EA app. The actual game runs flawlessly, it's the launchers that are all kinds of broken.

In my opinion, public istitutions like schools should push FOSS instead of giving private corps more power.
But most offices actually use those private corps shitty software, so that's why they train students on that.
I need to do more advanced stuff, oh GOD!
These closed platforms by wanting to be more "user-friendly" most of the time become geek-unfriendly. This also make them more profits by making "certified" courses on a damn software. If you need a course to even use a software, then rethink the usability of that software.

I think corps prefer using finite resources to make customers depend on buying them. Imagine being able to recharge your car by what you produce with your solar panels on your roof: you will spend money only on the car itself and not on the fuel.
Dangerous opinion, I've recently moved to Fedora after Ubuntu and after customising it on the GNOME desktop, it's literally Ubuntu (But better) in every way except no snaps....
Are you using Fedora Workstation? Have you installed "additional" multimedia codecs?
The issue with Fedora is that because of being backed by RedHat, they fear using some software for their licensing. So, to use features of your GPU you paid for, you need to install codecs from RPM Fusion.
This can be an hussle when big version updates of Fedora comes and you need to wait for RPM Fusion repo to catch up.
Having server-side source code open can help into finding not on purpose backdoors. But yes, no one can verify that's the same exact version used by the actual servers.
Been there, done that. I don't remember where I retrieved that code, but somehow I managed to do that. Maybe it was on Microsoft site loggin in with his credentials.
Funny you say that, because that was the case. If I'm not wrong he logged into his work account, which used just once on his personal laptop and MS Windows decided to encrypt the drive and connect it to that account. Funny stuff.

Ngl I have no clue why this technology is so newsworthy rn
It's because of openness/royalties.
RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture based on RISC principles. RISC itself is just a design type. ARM is based on RISC too, but it's proprietary.
Can't they theme gtk4/libadwaita without editing libadwaita? Like gradience do
I've made a bunch of libadwaita apps, because I like its UI/UX not because I want to break other Desktop Environment. That would mean even more fragmentation.
TL;DR
They want to push even more other desktop environments and distros to use XApps, because a lot of gnome's ex-gtk3 apps now are half-broken and looks alien inside Mint and other distros like Xubuntu.
If an application doesn’t support Cinnamon we can’t ship with it in our Cinnamon edition. The same goes for MATE and Xfce.
[...]
We could do like Ubuntu 24.04. They provide a finished product with a high level of integration. The way they do that is by modifying libAdwaita to support their theme: Yaru. We could do the same with Mint-Y. It would make all GNOME applications look nice in Linux Mint, but we’d have to remove theme selection, since it would only work with Mint-Y. In the long term it wouldn’t solve the main issue either: These applications are designed for a desktop which is more and more different to ours by the day. It’s not just a question of themes or look. Today these apps are losing menubars, themes, tomorrow they might come with no minimize button or anything GNOME doesn’t use.
I use Gnome too and I don't like their attitude against other DEs. Their attitude is becoming a real threat to Linux interoperability.
At least we got flatpaks.
