- Comment on Why is Windows still bloated 9 hours ago:
why does it need to accommodate compatibility for archaic devices/software?
Because that’s one of Windows’ selling points. It has unusually good backwards compatibility for a mainstream operating system. Compare that to iOS, Android, MacOS, or Linux, where the infrastructure needed to run older binaries often doesn’t exist in the first place.
Linux is a weird case, because thanks to Wine, it actually runs a lot of old games better than Windows, but this doesn’t do anything to help compatibility with older Linux binaries.
- Comment on Security engineer ports Linux to PS5, runs GTA V 4 days ago:
I watched a video about those the other day. You can’t just slap Windows or whatever on one; you have to use Linux with a specific patched kernel in order to use them. Even then, there are severe graphical issues with Unity games, and you’re not getting the full performance of a PS5 since these APUs are cut down to a degree.
Here’s the video in question: https://youtu.be/_zbw_A9dIWM
