    Let’s proton Windows 11.

    Proton, verb–to make something redundant by copying all of its best features while leaving out the junk and selling it for free.

        Well you don’t really use Proton by itself, you pay for a game and the game runs in Proton. Hence, you got sold something for free.

        I recently got a vst3 plugin for “pay what you want” - I put in 0.00 and got a store receipt (email) just like a regular transaction. I guess ?

    I just can’t get excited for ReactOS

    I know I program dumb stuff for fun, but I can’t shake the feeling that this energy would be better spent in developing Linux stuff lol

      @Die4Ever ReactOS isn’t really something to get excited about, its goal is to be able to be Windows compatible, which Linux isn’t. It’s supposed to be able to replace Windows where Linux can’t, e.g. where you have proprietary drivers

        I don’t really want Windows to be replaced, I want it to just die lol.

        I would hate it if ReactOS overtook Linux on desktops, it’s basically a step backwards to worse tech.
