As we start the new year what are you hoping for in the Linux ecosystem?

      I am conflicted about this one. I really miss playing Rust (uses EAC)… wish there was a way to toggle the kernel level anticheat when I wanted to play.

        To my limited knowledge. EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) is Linux compatible, it just has a setting that needs to be toggled by the game devs and pushed out in an update.

          That’s what I’ve read as well. The real kicker is Rust runs better for me on Linux. I’m pretty sure Facepunch heavily funded EAC’s development too. Garry’s kind of a bitter cunt about playing on Linux for whatever reason.

          But then developers refuse to support that. With missing kernel-level stuff just being an excuse for being intentionally Linux-hostile…

    In no particular order:

    • PikaOS 5. I want to see this project flourish, and I think they bring some much-need UX innovations to certain GUI tools (their system update interface is the best I’ve seen so far). I also love that they’ve dumped Ubuntu in order to do the CachyOS optimization thing upon a Debian base while still keeping everything bleeding edge.

    • Improved default keyring services in KDE. kwallet is kinda messy, and some people have pointed out that their use of blowfish is behind current best practices. On the flipside, using PGP means entering your password twice to unlock your keyring, so the experience is just not great out of the box.

      • I’m aware you can use third party tools like KeePass, but a user should not have to use something else to get a good experience.

    • Total Linux desktop share at 3%.

    • More/Frequent upstream gaming improvements from the Valve x Arch joint effort.

    • Nvidia integration parity with AMD

    • Open source Nvidia driver (as long as we’re wishing)
