  • The major benefit is using KOReader instead of Amazon’s reader. Main benefit of that is configurability in my opinion. I’m new to full-time use, so I’m not aware of everything it’s capable of, but it’s already way better. My headline features are direct connection to Calibre over the network, and the lack of any marketing to me whatsoever. My nice-to-haves are arbitrary lockscreen images, Wallabag support (have yet to explore this, but looks real fun), and the built-in RSS reader.

    Other than that, jailbreaking gives me the ability to fully disable ads and OTA updates.

    Everything else is pretty much toys and eye candy. KOReader is the main thing from what I can tell.




  • The answer to the text of the question is: that would continue to work. sudo doesn’t re-auth while a child process is still running, which in this case is su. Until su terminates, sudo doesn’t have anything to say about it. To be a bit more precise, the time limit for reauth would expire, but sudo doesn’t ask for authorization, and therefore wouldn’t check if that timeout has elapsed, until the next invocation.

    To answer the spirit of the question: you should probably be using sudo -i instead.

    if microsoft changed their apis wouldnt new games just not work on proton?

    Also, this is antithetical to the purpose of Windows when it comes to backwards compatibility. Remember that one of its main selling points is the ability to run old programs, regardless of what version it originally targeted.

    Believe it or not, the industry would probably start a riot if ms breaks that paradigm. It’s like, one of the main reasons that it has the market-share that it does.
