It’s an alternative shell for Plasma, so theoretically you should be able to do anything in it that you can do in Plasma.
On my Arch box it installed a minimal set of Plasma utilities to support it, which means my setup is still very limited (and I can’t turn off screen lock!), but I haven’t tried if it would change if offered a full Plasma install.
I can most certainly launch Steam, Kodi, Jellyfin etc.
Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features
In case you’re curious, the anti-feature is “tethered network services”, as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it’s progenitor and is planned to be fixed.
Just to be clear before I respond to the rest of this comment, my position is that Peertube solves the sustainability problem and in no way am I suggesting Peertube will replace YouTube
I do not expect the vast majority of channels to survive the end of YouTube, as is normal for any paradigm shift.
P2P is completely achievable using NAT Hole Punching. I have no clarity on if Peertube is doing this but since there’s already a trusted server involved it would be silly not to.
In a hypothetical, unlikely future where YouTube dies and people generally move to Peertube, I expect the majority of content creators to pay small fees to have instances host their videos. I expect small, free but restricted instances will continue to be the home for amateur videographers as they are today. The more technical folk will likely self host, and groups of like minded creators will pool efforts to run group specialist instances (not unlike Nebula).
Frankly the most likely scenario is YouTube dies and everyone starts posting videos to Instagram or Tiktok or something equivalently anti user.
Content creators. It’s hard to host everyone’s videos, and it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary, as it prevents new entrants. It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted). It becomes harder when you suddenly become popular, a situation which Peertube explicitly compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers, which scales with popularity.
Signal makes it’s own bed like YouTube by being a single centralised server for everyone. Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP
Not precisely what you’re after but https://sepiasearch.org/
Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.
The protocol was released in 2019. The LLM was released in 2024.
how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?
US Antitrust has been asleep for decades, and as soon as it opened one bleary eye the oligarchs took over the government.
Mono is owned by WineHQ
And there are other tools that use the same database format. I use keepassDX and keepassXC
Catima can also handle pkpass (Apple wallet) files now, although last I checked it chokes on “pkpasses”, the zipped collective version
In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile
I appreciate that the author expended a whole paragraph making sure we didn’t have any misconceptions about the plot of Face Off with John Travolta
