  • Linux Mint is easier to use, you don’t have to edit the sudoers file as well. Linux has limited marketshare because of its marketing. Companies aren’t interested in a OS for PCs (personal computers). It doesn’t need to be efficient or run well. They just care about keeping the agreements with Big Tech and that things work smoothly with one another (Microsoft working well in cloud/server/local) and that their enterprise software is running well. That goes along with close ties to Big Tech. Linux can reach major parts of the personal computer space, but it will need to do so without the help of Big Companies, which is a challenge.




  • Eu estava lendo sobre o assunto no livro “Copy, Rip, Burn” (2008) e, naquela época, os jogos já eram uma licença de uso que as empresas tentavam empurrar, mesmo a pessoa tendo o CD/DVD em mãos (a EULA ou o Copyright). Eu considero um avanço. O DRM-free do GOG garante a redistribuição e conservação do software, enquanto que a Steam promove o avanço do ambiente Linux no mundo Gaming. Vi um vídeo do YouTube que, inclusive, diz que se a Steam acabar, o suporte para o Linux acaba.

    Explicando porque eu acho isso um avanço, a comunicação direta dessas empresas, mais as atitudes que elas vêm tendo no cenário, são interessantes para os consumidores. Talvez um DRM-free na Steam ou um Suporte para Linux no GOG? Seria bom.
