@thelinuxexperiment nice video once again Nick :) regarding the Proton issue, boy am I glad I'm not a paid user right now, so I'm not torn in the moral conundrum as much as others are experiencing at the moment. I'm curious about what follows, they will need to be super transparent and uphold to their apology if they want to keep both their CEO and their customers, I guess.

    Affinity is owned by Canva, who bought its British developer, Serif, in 2024. They went on to released a revamped v3 of the suite in October 2025, merging three paid apps into a single free app with a unified UI.

    Some kind of graphic art program.

    Its an art and design suite. Before Canva bought it and made it free (AI "features" are paid) the company that created it, Serif, deliberately competed with Adobe's subscription bullshit by offering affordable one-time license fees. It is by far the best Adobe suite replacement IMO

    Yeah nice I could run Half-Life on my MacOS... Why would any sane person, wake up in the morning and say: "Hey I'm going to dev a proton alternative but for MAC? Why, what?...

    Just let that horrible ecosystem die and suffocate in their own horrible closed source shit. If they want to play half-life (or any game) on their MacOS they should pay 99,89 $ a month ! Or run their ressource hogging VM (which you also need to pay for) and install windows 🀯🀯

    I guess masochist live in different forms with different kinks...
