Looks like the EU is getting serious about open source, which could eventually spell good news for Linux and hopefully gaming distros

      “Getting serious” means sending Microsoft and Amazon a strongly worded letter while sending Linus Torvalds a fruit basket.

        Does Torvalds accept fan mail (physically)? I would love to send him a handwritten “thank you” letter for all of the work he’s helped lay for all of us :)

          I don’t actually know. He strikes me as someone who prides himself on his privacy overall.

            I had in mind whatever the Finnish equivalent of a US P.O. Box would be.

                In that case, I guess I’ll just check the Linux Foundation’s website?

    More traction for open source sounds like a win for gamers as it’ll typically mean better performance gains with less work from the user (manually installing drivers, tweaking ini settings)💪

    Unless it’s about revoking all trade agreements that obligate EU countries to enforce digital IP ownership, it’s a half measure. Corey Doctorow is right, we need to make jailbreaking American tech legal - kick them in their wallets.
