I’ve never seen someone so blatantly tell on themselves as you have in this comment.

What does that even mean?

Yeah ngl Ubuntu is so much easier to get up and running than other distros. It’s fast and reasonably up to date. I will say I’ve found the LTS version to be disappointingly buggy compared to other long term releases like Debian and Leap, but nothing that would motivate me to move to another distro. Just annoying audio related bugs that are easy to fix or get around.

Leap was so solid I wished I could’ve stayed with it, but I didn’t want to commit to a distro with an uncertain future.

I don’t get it, I’m on iOS 17 and can move them around? I came from a pixel and I was surprised that you could. And you can also stack widgets which is nice

There is a microwave technique for drying weed if you want to smoke it quickly. It will taste extremely green though. There’s nothing you can do to replace a good cure.

Steam numbers are completely meaningless. There’s absolutely no way SteamOS outnumbers Ubuntu even if we limit this comparison to desktop installs. Ubuntu’s been around for a very long time and many of its users wouldn’t show up on Steam because they don’t game.

They also created TypeScript which is a huge improvement over js imo. And with C# you can use Mono, so you really aren’t locked into MS automatically.

Plus, they made VS Code free. I hate MS but they do make solid tools for developers.

It’s so much better than it used to be though. There’s been a lot of real progress and there’s more interest than ever in creating a viable Linux consumer-grade desktop among foss developers and even corporations.

I’ll grant you it’s definitely not there yet for non-techies. But I do think we’ll get there eventually and I wouldn’t have said that 5 years ago.

Literal malware techniques. MS learned well from all the viruses that infected Windows in the 2000s

He pulled it from nowhere because tankies are incapable of nuance, especially if you hold an even mildly dissenting opinion. You’re either with them or against them, there is no in-between. It’s ironic how much they share in common with actual fascists.

That people don’t know about because it isn’t covered in the media unless you actively look for that info. So it might as well have happened a long time ago

Some zoomers and some millennials know it. Boomers don’t know or actually think it’s a good thing, with some rare exceptions.

Either way your take is extremely juvenile and simplistic. There’s a lot more at play with revolutions than people knowing their country did something bad. It takes a lot more than that to get people off their ass, with very few exceptions historically, and even those exceptions are usually led by rich people looking out for themselves.

People need to have their own livelihoods threatened before they do anything. And there are always power systems in place that deliberately make it hard for people to organize.

Fair enough. There’s really no reason to not be cautious with any company, especially startups, so I can see where you’re coming from. I guess I’m just glad to see someone else seeing market value in gaming on Linux.

Agreed. I guess I’m just happy that the market is big enough that someone that is trying to get into it now.

So a bit easier but still not first class citizens citizens, by definition. It is called steam os after all, so I don’t necessarily expect anything different, but this company wants to offer something new. Seems like this os is less dependent on steam integration, which I would view as a plus.

The article explicitly mentions their target audience, which is ordinary/casual gamers who would not want or expect a desktop mode on their console. They’re basically targeting the console crowd. It’s not the same audience as steam deck.

Since when are non-Steam games first class citizens on steam os? You have to enter desktop mode to launch them.

Most of your complaints seem very nitpicky tbh. Valve needs competition badly and I’m glad to see another company entering the Linux gaming space.
