Potentially, it’s slower
Apparently there are a number of instances where it outperforms the native Windows version.
I’m inclined to agree – it seems Proton has reached the point where your Windows game will now play essentially the same on Linux as it does on Windows, with a few edge-cases. Why make extra work to maintain a native Linux version?
Any podcast app I’ve used saves them wherever it needs to be able to read them.
I think saving and archiving podcasts is a niche use-case. I’ve jumped between apps and I just go resubscribe to the shows I want. If I need to find an old episode, I just go to that show and stream or download that episode.
I can’t think of a reason why I’d need to keep those files stored anywhere.
With that link I just see your comment and no replies (maybe my instance doesn’t federate with theirs).
But look at just this thread: your other comment is you telling someone what they use is bad and providing no reasoning as to why.
Then when you get downvoted for contributing nothing of value, you whine about it and begrudgingly post the reasoning you should have shared from the beginning.
That’s a shitty attitude that’s going to net you downvotes and negative replies, and you shouldn’t be surprised by it.
There’s a difference between handing something to someone and leaving it somewhere they happen to be able to take it from.
