macOS has some level of application sandboxing, Windows apps, in practice, have none. They tried it a bit years ago but immediately gave up. Antivirus has always been the dumbest solution.

Nobody loves arguing semantics more than a programmer. VSCode is absolutely an IDE. Jetbrains is entirely plugin based, Eclipse is totally plugin based, and yeah so is VSCode.

Yes its a different language by the same creator.

Everything they do is open source, artificially holding back features doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s generally a problem. But modern firmware for some hardware is very complex and would be nice to be open.

It’s extremely easy to have a fully featured desktop that is open source software only.

Open hardware is hard though.

Some call that “source available” and not open source.

Exciting but the maps looks super linear which is disappointing.

Its a subscription with dozens of old games. All emulated locally. It’s certainly more convenient than old hardware.

Personally never had an issue with autofill but do agree with the other issues, they just weren’t important to me.

Obviously it has to be good from the start, but yes. See GTA and Skyrim as examples where they support and market an old title.

They do support their driver yes, but it will never be as good as long as it’s proprietary. The open nvidia module isn’t ready and still backed by proprietary blobs.

On some distros its packaged, trivial. On others its not and annoying. How well it works depends on the exact usage.

They are older, more system level projects. See libera and OFTC.

To counter your experience Ive only seen emulators use Discord.

I found them to be very cheap, like grips getting loose, buttons failing. Worst of the gen.
