• best Distro for Noob

  When I started out, I used red hat, Suse linux, and then finally I jumped to Ubuntu, when they killed gnome and rolled out their new GUI later, I switched to Ubuntu Mate, with xfce alternatively installed. And then later came MINT. Which is based on ubuntu anyway. Source: 5 months ago

• Windows 10 support doesn't end in 2025 after all, if you pay up

  I'm partial to Linux Mint myself, but at this point, if you're not running some Windows specific software, there's less and less reason to use it every year. Source: 5 months ago

• Introduction

  My first Linux distro was PopOS and It was a refreshing experience. It was really easy to install, use, and game on. I distro hopped a few times to see what other linux flavors are like. These are the ones that I remember trying Zorin OS and Linux Mint. These ones looked mostly like windows and it was easy to use.

They've covered this in two main ways: 1) By listing all their source code on https://opensource.apple.com/ (which links to their GitHub with all the source code) 2) By offering a complete machine-readable copy of the source code upon... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• macOS 13.5 source code released

  The XNU kernel has been open source for a very long time. https://opensource.apple.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XNU Note that this is not the full operating system/windowing system, it's just the kernel. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac

  Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with... Source: 11 months ago

• DirectX 12 Support on macOS

  It's still not a great thing to do. Apple used to contribute a lot more, even if some of their stuff was exclusive to their platform. https://opensource.apple.com. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
