The Fedora hate is strong with this one.

Colorized by AI

I wonder if this also reflects a general shift away from Ubuntu of if the phenomenon is mostly limited to the gamer demographic.

Today’s Linux gamers are tomorrow’s Linux admins.

That’s what kept me on Fedora. It just works.

I recently set up a PC for a pensioner who can’t or does not want to afford a Windows 11 PC. I used AlmaLinux (community RHEL). I’m not the biggest fan of some Gnome defaults, so I installed Dash To Panel from the official repositories and enabled traditional window buttons to make the experience closer to Windows. That’s it.

The Fedora developers laid excellent ground work.

Is this just based on protondb user reporting/comment data? because I doubt the sample size tells you anything other than these are the builds most used by users willing to contribute to protondb.

Ubuntu is falling behind in official Steam hardware & Software Survey as well. Of course the sample size is much larger, so the specific percentages don’t match but the trend is identical.

Ubuntu is the distro that people hate on the most, which is ironic given how easy it is to use.

Ubuntu isn’t easy. Not when the context is gaming as is this video’s.

Since Steam Deck all interesting developments (emulators, source ports of commercial games) happen on Flathub.

Canonical banned Flatpak from the default installation of all official Ubuntu variants (so Kubuntu, Lubuntu,…), therefore it is required to type shell commands to get stuff off Flathub, therefore it’s now among the least easy to use distributions.

It’s really no energy at all to just install Krita or Gimp to crop 5 images.

I did suggest many things, from how to crop in Krita, using ImageMagick, that Gimp is fully capable of cropping (OP refused to use Gimp for that task because it’s “shit” in his eyes), how to look up open source alternatives on GitHub (I found a bunch, including a python GUI application running locally), etc.

OP made a many BS claims, by insisting that he needs batch processing but when suggesting to self host, he refuses this by saying that he’s only cropping 5 images.

The completely insane claim was “The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML”, meaning one could just save the page and run it fully locally.

This is of course BS.

You claimed that I was uploading and batch-processing images on the developers’ infrastructure.

“Um, achtually I crop images only locally and loading up Photopea in the first place doesn’t count towards freeloading other people’s work.🤓”

there are definitely problems.

Of course there are but the claim was that Lichtmetzger only needs to crop a bunch of images and Gimp is 100% capable of that and I say that as someone who can’t stand Gimp any longer and moved to Krita and others.

Keep trolling

At least I’m not playing the victim when actually freeloading other people’s work and resources.

which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp

*whoosh*

I fully grasp it, I was just pointing out how insane your claim is that you don’t use their server resources by making an equally insane counter point.

That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server from batch-processing images are unfunded.

Yes, exactly this insane claim.

Today I’ve learned that cropping five images in a row is “commercial-grade”. Sure…

Today I’ve learned that you cannot use Krita to crop manually because you’re cropping waaay to many images and absolutely need batch processing but you also cannot self-host anything because “it’s only 5 images, man”.

Self-hosting is a good idea, though, if I can find some useful software in that field.

• *types bulk image crop site:github.com into search engine*
• *finds a bunch*

Huh…

Sir, this is not how the internet works.

Indeed it’s not. That’s why your claim that you can use Photopea without using their resources is BS.

Photopea does not use the developers’ server to do these tasks

Well, it uses the servers to do something and you refuse any compensation.

If I disassembled the obfuscated code and replaced those online references, I’m pretty sure the whole thing would just work.

Then do and host your own version.

I am not paying another high subscription (yes, 96€/year is high for some people) for a tool that processes images locally, no.

Then self-host a tool you need for your commercial-grade tasks.

As I’ve said in another thread, you can open up the site, disconnect your internet and process all of the images just fine. All of that code runs in your own browser.

Then disconnect your internet when ads load. Or save the page if “All of that code runs in your own browser.”

The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML

If Photopea was so simple, you could just download the necessary parts and self-host.

This won’t work because there is actual server-side code running, meaning you’re hogging someone else’s resources to do your commercial-grade tasks.

cant

…

I am mildly infuriated.

Calm down.

I need a visual representation before cropping

Then pay. You’re using a commercial service to do commercial-grade tasks. Stop to dodge compensation.
