I think Wine has had WOW support for some time and it seems it will be the default at some time (arch moving to wow64).

Edit: What is WOW64

WoW64

All transitions from Windows to Unix code go through the NT syscall interface. This is a major milestone that marks the completion of the multi-year re-architecturing work to convert modules to PE format and introduce a proper boundary between the Windows and Unix worlds.

All modules that call a Unix library contain WoW64 thunks to enable calling the 64-bit Unix library from 32-bit PE code. This means that it is possible to run 32-bit Windows applications on a purely 64-bit Unix installation. This is called the new WoW64 mode, as opposed to the old WoW64 mode where 32-bit applications run inside a 32-bit Unix process.

The new WoW64 mode is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 option to configure. This is expected to work for most applications, but there are still some limitations, in particular:

Lack of support for 16-bit code. Reduced OpenGL performance and lack of ARB_buffer_storage extension support.

The new WoW64 mode finally allows 32-bit applications to run on recent macOS versions that removed support for 32-bit Unix processes.

“How am I going to be racist today? OOH, the parallel command is pretty woke”

All these “concerned” comments about systemd, wayland, etc, always seemed dog whistling to me. I have critiques about these projects, but the specific things this specific type of people says always comes coded in some form of racism/transphobic/mysoginistic rethoric. Just changed from gamergate to linuxgate.

So i’m not surprised that they turned mask off like this.

Look at any anti-systemd channel, the comments are always the worst thing ever. Some lkml reading channels have these comments too.

Yeah, I think a fork fits that purpose too.

About Lunduke 2.0, Idk, but i feel a mixture of distrotube (like the gun video) + luke smith + a lot of people from that era maybe.

Yeah, I see that the fight is a bit ambiguous, CoC, etc, but even linus himself got to him in 2021 because of mRNA vaccines. His work was important, but breaking things in a project that’s so old, and with so many things depending on it (like my old computer), and turning into Lunduke 3.0 seems very bad.

This happened in a release version and in the git version too, I tried the git version after seeing the problem in the release version.

Edit: Idk, but this blunder might have make xorg deprecated a lot faster than even before this.

“There was also a revert to avoid unnecessarily breaking the NVIDIA driver. It was also commented by NVIDIA that some additional requests for other reverts are coming too.”

Did this dude break resume/suspend on nvidia in x11? I think last year x11 on nvidia just stopped suspending at some time (I was trying some things on x11) and in wayland it worked, I even moved to xorg-git, but the errors persisted. If this is related, dude was/is the worst developer ever.

It just moved to gitflic and now requires a manual install on their .xpi file.

The backrooms into a full blown movie? I’m in.
