You can legally rent a car at 18, it’s just that no company wants to rent to you.

I bet energy usage of aws is counted for the business/people using those services.

That’s pretty rare these days. If you running reading edge then maybe there are a few months or using a wifi- usb adapter.

I think a VM is a bad solution. Maybe if it’s a very rarely used program, but typically the stuff people need that don’t work in Linux are for work which is why people HAVE to use them.

If I did that, I’d just be working out of a windows vm 99% of my computing time, so it doesn’t make sense for me.

I’m not a Linux wizard but I’m pretty skilled and I love mint. Although, my preference recently changed to Fedora plasma.

I think about this sometimes. What stuff can’t you do in a Linux GUI that an average person would be able to do in Windows? For the sake the simplicity, lets limit the GUI to Cinnamon, Plasma, or Gnome.

Obviously, there are obscure GUIs out there, but in the main ones, I think just about everything can be done without CLI.

Dude! They are all once a century events. It’s just that they are all happening in the same year.

Those are good points actually.

You’ve changed my opinion about how I felt about version 2.

Back before software subscriptions were a thing, I had a few different licenses which I would have assumed were perpetual.

In a way they were, but then my version stopped receiving updates and version 2 came out and they wanted me to buy version 2.

So perpetual licenses don’t mean anything if the company wants to be a jerk about it.

Who? You mean Rafaell?

I’m sure it’s the exact same thing happening in both operating systems.

It’s just clouded cache files that need to be cleaned up.

I still prefer it over windows. If it were not for their absurd pricing, I’d have a MacBook Air over my thinkpad.

I’d much prefer to run Linux, but I’ve yet to find a way to do my main work task on something other than Mac or windows.

macOS is pretty bad about using up storage space. There are always huge 10gb+ cache files for cloud related stuff. Even if I’m like, don’t store it locally.

I’ve not used macOS in years, so many that issue has been resolved.

Yeah, and it’s “Hillary’s Turn” 🤮

I know, it’s exactly how I feel about the situation.

They are going to release a new version with monetization soon. Maybe that will be a big .0 release and maybe there will be a Linux version.

So what will happen? Cops will get a see all account and then their will be record numbers of applicants to be a cop 😂

Maybe I’m dumb, but I completely do not understand what the dev did to upset people.

I read the thread and I’m confused about it.

To share the bigger picture, I’m using this app 99% of my working hours. So it doesn’t make sense to do it this way.

I’d be better off just working out of the vm but due to performance loss and dealing with passing through usb I just use windows.

Although, outside of work I use Linux.

That’s pretty interesting, but it’s a meeting software. So I’m regularly sharing my screen and sharing files. So I need to be in the os. I’ll just key checking it every time a roster counts out for proton or the app I use.

Me 😢

I have a critical work app that will not run in wine or with proton.

I’ve even contacted the devs and they suggested trying to run the android version on Linux, but it doesn’t work either.
