  • Most “normal” programs use some “abstraction” libraries, so the programmer doesn’t need to know which platform it is running on. This “platform” is important because it is the layer that actually talks to things like your SSD, RAM, GPU, etc.

    Videogames, tho, are very very specific programs that really benefit from very optimized code, so some of these “abstraction” libraries simply will be worked on for a specific operative system.

    Thankfully, the people from the WINE project and lots of work from Valve themselves have made it possible to “trick” these libraries into thinking they are talking to Windows. It’s not perfect, tho, so some stuff is still not working, but you’d be surprised how much we’ve got already. Check out the ProtonDB project.






  • Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of “don’t use themes” inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.

    You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.










  • What is up with all of you people complaining about chargers not included? Don’t you already have like 3000 at home?

    It is one of the few decisions that Apple did that were completely right.

    Also the complaint about “price was still the same without the charger” is useless, they’ve increased prices forever, it’s not about the charger.

    Move on, people.

    Edit: some grammar, and also some disagreements without actual answers. I’d really like to know why you’d get angry at less trash in the world.
