do you miss the golden age of Linux?
How can you miss what hasn't come yet?
>>108818768I miss when it had its' own games and wasnt making emulation layers upon emulation layers.
>>108818768Best distro. Ran like a champ on my shitty Asus netbook. I miss it so much bros.
>>108819005wine is not an emulator
What killed crunchbang? I used it all through college
>>108819005Eproton is just the new PlayOnLinux
>>108819060just wasn't maintained, there are successors tho
>>108819072Proton is an engine based on wine. POL is an interface to manage wine settings, versions and contexts. No relation. The POL alternative now is lutris, which is a buggy piece of crap. I still use POL, don't give a shit that it's unmaintained. It just werks.But I always think about how strange it is that we have all these great tools that just werked (not just shit like wine, but even things like the entire stack of DEs back in the days that now rely on really buggy abstractions instead, or interfaces for programmable and non-programmable gpu pipelines vs the crap we have now that is so bad that people are writing millions of lines of code to try to abstract it away and go back to a more sane interface like mentioned, or even things like wysiwyg GUI editors, etc.) and then one day they died and absolutely nothing replaced them. People didn't move to better tools, didn't change their workflow, we just went back in time. It's like if Maya died and Blender didn't exist so animators started going back to procedural animations and calculated rotations manually instead, no mocap anymore or anything. An unthinkable possibility right? But in software land it seems to be what has happened for years.
