Yeah it is suspicious. Would be interesting if someone tried to decompile them to try and see if they hold any secret or malicious functions. I know that many of them have serious security vulnerabilities as is.

If even Microsoft was/is considering giving custom kernel modules the boot and potentially not allowing them in the future (due to similar but unrelated issues) why should the Linux community embrace proprietary kernel modules from companies who’s goal is antithetical to the user, and which are probably horribly insecure and/or rootkits themselves.

@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz @Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz Hey just FYI this user account seems to be an alt of UniversalMonk. A well known troll who has been rampantly evading bans as of late.

As someone who used to play mostly on older consoles with framerates locked at 60 or even 30 FPS I never really understood framerate snobs, the only real time I see it making sense is for VR since you need high frame-rate for that, but for normal games (no I will not call them ‘flat games’) it’s overkill, at least in my opinion.

Unless you used Ubuntu 32 bit, then they’ll just drop you like a sack of potatoes, in that regard Canonical is no better than Google
