OK, real talk on Linux gaming.
Yes, almost your entire Steam library will run flawlessly, especially on a gaming-focused distro.
But... we have to talk about the elephant in the room. That big, kernel-level anti-cheat one.
Yeah, Call of Duty. It doesn't work. (1/2)

What a week. First the massive AWS outage, now Azure's global DNS and configuration failures.
It’s been a painful, global-scale lesson in a basic truth:
The cloud is just someone else's computer.
And you're not in the room when they push a bad config. (1/2)

Sometimes I think about how many hours are being wasted on adding LLM features to GitHub that could be spent on improving features that would help with day to day work, like the problem in this thread or code review.
Right now probably thousands of engineer hours are being wasted because GitHub is reporting an x/crypto/ssh vulnerability to a myriad of projects that don't import x/crypto/ssh AT ALL.
The vulndb has package and symbol information, and govulncheck is open source. It's 2024.
