It's not legit in any meaningful way

If that motivation still leads to work against tech monopolies
It doesn't, never did, never will.
I can't believe we have to argue in 2025 about this.
The whole project 2025 is about breaking bad regulations, antitrust won't survive. You just have to kiss the ring, and do whatever.
Many things, too many to even remember.
Very bad SQL implementation is a good start, still bad replication support (compared to Postgres), various bugs present for too long...
https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html this comparison is a bit out of date, but explains a lot
Postgres is far superior in every way.
We used MySQL (and Percona XtraDB) servers at work, and it is so bad. So I made several presentations showing generic and specific reasons why Postgres is better. I had to cut a lot of content because MySQL is just that bad.
Some things may not seem relevant now, but as you keep the DB around long enough, you will appreciate the whole package of Postgres.
Things that will help a lot, but are extensions:
- pg_partman - for automatic partition management
- patroni - management of replicas, automatic failover - it does everything for you with simple commands
There is a DB comparison matrix, but hasn't been updated in over a year, which is a shame, but still gives you the idea of how different databases support SQL features: link.
Spoiler: postgres has the most support, with a huge lead
Edit: MySQL is dead last, btw
I love user notes; this one has 'fascist centrist' attached, and lo and behold.
You've never heard of AppImages on Linux, that just... open the app on doubleclick? No install or anything?
Because that's what I got when I picked 'Download for Linux' on GOG...
Get lost, you know nothing and speak nonsense.
And don't forget to mention everywhere how Linux community is hostile, and not you being a sorry excuse for a being.
You are just trolling, or being in bad faith.
I don't know about Witcher 3, because I didn't buy it on GOG. I bought it on Steam, works out of the box, no issues.
So either tell me your experience, or stay on Windows.
I have played a game from GOG on Linux (Icewind Dale), it had Linux download, I opened it and the game played 100%, even multiplayer with non-Linux users.
Dunno about Witcher 3 specifically.
There's no fucking way they let her go on.
I'm ready to eat my words, but I expect her to disappear, or be limited to companies which did not fall in line to Musk/Trump.
The entire shtick of the next admin is deregulation, antitrust will not be welcome.
I play games outside of Steam as well?
Wtf, those launchers play games without issues outside the Steam? What are you talking about?
And if that last 1% of games does crazy shit, it can stay on Windows. There is no need to fully support everything from Windows (down to exploits) on Linux.
Stop giving companies excuses to do outrageous shit.
Like it's absolutely mindboggling how much shit do people eat in order to play a game. Kernel level anticheat has access to your entire computer, and you can't even know what it does.
And for absolutely no benefit at all. You can make anticheats on server, or simple client stuff without reading your entire memory.

If it happens to only specific companies, but others will do anything without issues, it will be a huge problem.
And it will.
