Office would be packaged a Flatpak app and not an RPM package op The tragedy is that this will not happen any time soon, because Microsoft is joined at the hip to Canonical and Canonical's current business model is "let's ram our own shittily-designed incompatible Linux infrastructure components down everybody's throats, because we own the copyrights to those and can use that to shake down embedded device vendors for licensing fees". So in that situation Microsoft would end up using Canonical's Snap garbage instead.

Hasnt microsoft been trying to offload 365 as a webapp? Would make more sense to just see that to completion and drop the native programs.

i haven't used it in ages but per the microsoft thread it's "really close" "for a lot of things" which is probably the absolute best case scenario for an actual linux port anyway. as long as you're not one of those bastards doing workflow automation in excel you're probably fine so now all you have to do is install edge

What the gently caress is the point of neofetch? Do people seriously forget which OS they're on? Do you really need to be told which window Manager you're using each time you start up the terminal emulator?

vim's editing mode switching model thing is good enough that people write plugins to port the keybinds to chrome and poo poo, minimalism is not a factor at all

there's more than good nvidia support thats missing from wayland (hasn't that just been fixed anyway?) - no way to turn off vsync (they're working on the protocol for it now, but until that lands it's useless for gaming) - no way to unscale xwayland apps, so when running X apps with hidpi you get a blurry mess that you can do nothing about - no xmodmap functionality - clipboard is a mess (but i guess clipboard managers can fix that)

Would make more sense to just see that to completion and drop the native programs. another not at all unlikely scenario is that things keep going towards wired-together containers or virtual machines, and office comes to linux in the form of some twist on single-app windows core virtual machines. precisely the kind of thing that a lot of the infrastructure like wayland and pipewire and so on is built to enable after all. which i already alluded to might not satisfy those still believing in linux on the desktop in some 1997 idea of what a desktop is (not least as they'd be running windows on one layer), but i'd consider it way more likely.

i guess it depends on the game, but it's just no page tearing without vsync if you have a 120hz+ display and a beefy enough graphics card you'll get smoother performance in some things. it's probably not particularly noticeable outside of shooters though

The_Franz posted:legacy apps being blurry when using hidpi is a problem every desktop platform has. there's just no way around it short of updating things to be dpi aware that’s simply not true, on macos legacy apps can be blocky instead it helps a lot that apple have sensibly stuck to integer scaling factors of course

Soricidus posted:that’s simply not true, on macos legacy apps can be blocky instead pretty much the only app i ever have problems with is libreoffice, where something breaks every time apple bumps the SDK version such that it reverts to drawing at 1x with blurry upsampling. this persists until they re-build LO with the newest compiler and SDK. i forget the exact technical reason this keeps happening but it's the dumbest thing ever btw apple's system has always been a bit more complicated than pure integer ratios. they do always have an int ratio between layout units (what used to be pixels pre-retina) and the nominal frame buffer size, which is typically 2x but can be 3x on some iphones iirc. however that frame buffer need not be the native lcd panel resolution for example all current 13" macsbook pro and air have a 2560x1600 lcd panel with a default setting of "looks like 1440x900" @2x. the window server composites everything into a 2880x1800 buffer which it then downsamples to 2560x1600. still looks great even though that's a 1.125:1 ratio, i dunno what kind of scaling algorithm wizardry they use but it's good
