Another good lesson about why we should trust only FOSS ecosystems

    Especially in a competitive market where compelling alternatives exist.

    Especially in tech.

    And especially in software.

      Yep, but the best part is because their core demographic is moronic, know-nothing-about-how-any-technology actually works, start-up indie game devs with basically only a dream and prayers combined with ‘i have played some video games, it cant be /that hard/ to make one!’ kinds of people…

      …you can expect discussion around everything going on with Unity to be filled with irrelevant and infuriating opinions/beliefs/concerns that will eat up most discussions in most communities while also mocking and downplaying actually correct and actually relevant things.

      It never fails to amaze and infuriate me how confidently completely wrong nearly all video game players are about literally everything about /creating/ video games.

          Whew, wont lie, I am getting tired and I had to reread that a few times till it clicked.

          SystemD… and Linux gaming.

          I am far from an expert on systemd and its alternatives, but so far all what I at least think I know is:

          SystemD is not as efficient as other paradigms could be,

          It could potentially be a massive security vulnerability, or maybe not, or maybe so, or no one seems to agree on this and then everyone starts yelling,

          I am reasonably confident that at least currently there are not any existing alternatives to SystemD that allow one to play much less develop basically somewhere between any to most games that involve 3d graphics.

          Again, I could be completely wrong about all of this, absolutely beyond my experience and skill set to comment much more than:

          A systemd alternative that would allow for modern kinds of multiplayer 3d online games would be really neat, but it seems like it would take a massive amount of effort that is at least nearly certainly beyond my ability to contribute to in any meaningful way.
