First Epic Games Launcher, and now this. If this isn’t the year of the Linux desktop, then I don’t know which one is. Next, all the adobe and Microsoft garbage 😄
If adobe and office get official support that could result in a big shift. Half the people I’ve talked to that won’t move cite those apps as reasons. Solid CAD support would be huge as well I think.
You can access just about every Office product via browser iirc.
That’s true, but I know it doesn’t have the full functionality of the app. I only use office through work because it’s required, and I’m far from a power user, so I’m not sure what those features are. I’m just regurgitating what I’ve heard.
It’s been a while since I’ve used them, but I remember one of the big differences is related to transitions in ms powerpoint and how they get triggered/ how many you can have
those are sad husks of the real office products
The AI stuff in Adobe has been insufferable
I’ll believe it. I do not use any of their apps, but every single time AI has been added to an app, it’s been worse. That’s not even an exaggerating, every single time it’s been worse in my experience.
However, for some people it’s adobe or bust, and I can empathize with not wanting to start over with a new app, especially if you’re particularly skilled with it already.
They even have AI on the freaking Acrobat Reader
Next year MS office get official support for Linux 🐕
You can already get Edge iirc
It’s not on Flathub, because of Ai generated code and other assists maybe? https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#generative-ai-policy
It s a recommendation and not a law. Flatpak said they will look at it on a case by case basis. I think it s more related to analytic and nvidia doing nvidia and doing all they can to not play nicely in the foss ecosystem
I don’t have real knowledge, but I could imagine both. E.g. nvidia may not want to raise an official ticket and then get a public decline. That could be a story that you can refer to. They may, at least for now, want to go the proprietary way, as if it’s a Windows installer (lol).
YSK flatpaks break iso27002 and score low on SLSA.
