rick_hso it's some sort of crazy "good humor bar" art14:25
cmaloneyThe sad thing is you had enough info from "brain dick" to know what it was14:26
jrwrenTIL: codeweavers sells a crossover for chromeos15:35
* rick_h wonders what a crossover is (thought it was a wanna-be SUV)15:38
jrwrencommercial front end to wine15:44
* brousch wonders what a commercial frontend to wine is (thought it was a tasting room)15:45
jrwrenbrousch: wine is not an emulator.15:52
jrwrenbrousch: ya know how MSFT made windows subsystem for linux, which just maps syscalls and tries to be linux?15:52
jrwrenWine is like that only 20yrs older and since windows isn't open source it has to reimplement every windows API.15:52
jrwrenRun windows software in linux.15:53
jrwrenThis is becoming HUGELY more important now that windows is more unusable than ever.15:53
brouschI know. I was being a troll :P15:53
jrwrenWindows 10 is so bad, I'm suddenly HUGELY interested in wine.15:53
brouschAlthough I admit I didn't know people were still using it15:54
cmaloneyCrossover is actually pretty awesome17:39
cmaloneyas soon as Windows 7 goes away I'll likely be more interested in Wine17:39
cmaloneyI've used it for some games but sadly those I lost interest in the games so I haven't re-upped17:40
cmaloneyplus they would crash for no apparent reason17:40
waldo323(late to the conversation) there used to be another frontend for wine which was specifically tailored for games19:03
jrwreni'm that kind of snob.19:27
jrwrenawk sucks. i love gawk.19:27
cmaloneyI love the GNU variants of commands19:33
jrwreni just had ANOTEHR case that awk couldn't handle, but gawk could.20:04
jrwrenmawk probably could too.20:04
cmaloneyhawk would just eat it20:11
jrwrenlol20:21
jrwrenproblem with my hatred of win10 driving me to linux is that desktop linux is somehow actually worse. The trend to remove menus... a 33+yr old concept which worked very well for those 33 yr...23:07
jrwreni hate software.23:07
cmaloneyjrwren: Problem is we're the old curmudgeons23:29
cmaloneynow everything is buried under a hamburger menu23:29
cmaloneyor three dots23:29
cmaloneyand only 30% of the functionality is exposed to the user23:29
cmaloneywe have the same chuckleheads who thougt that the registry was a great idea23:30
