Really? What gave you that vibe?

Because why is it time to uninstall Krita?
Krita is an excellent open source project.

WTF? Why is this shit post upvoted?

I’m talking about comes pre-installed

Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.
For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.

But apart from gaming it is in no way bare and very very far from “super bare”. Ans Steam is pretty easy to install.

I did not say it was not great or popular.

You wrote it was mostly for servers. Which although it is an excellent server distro, it is most definitely developed at least as much for desktop use.

This is not the dunk you think it is…

I don’t think you really understand the implications.

Super bare. 🤣🤣🤣
Debian is probably Thee most supported distro with the most packages available.
Debian is also among the absolute best among Linux desktop options, and actually quite popular.
There’s a reason Debian is still the most forked distro.

Absolutely brilliant. 👍

As I wrote they play it less. I never claimed they don’t play it. and I clearly indicated that the numbers aren’t stats, I made an example and a hypothetical based on it.

As I wrote it doesn’t mean they don’t play it, but it means they play it less.

The market they are missing out on is growing. If 4 friends decide to play a game, and 1 has Linux, those 4 will not play a Ubisoft game.
So even if Linux is only about 3%, it could hypothetically mean 12% lower playtime on their games, and that will reflect in lower future sales. Where people will prefer to buy games they play more.

Oculus going to Meta was a major bummer. I might pick up the frame up if the price is right and it works well.

From the Steam Frame page:

No setup required. Four high-resolution, monochrome cameras provide controller and headset tracking. Infrared LEDs on the outside make tracking great even in dark environments.

That’s brilliant. 👍

I too was excited by VR.
…
In the early 90’s.
Then nothing happened.
But THEN nothing continued to happen.
After a few decades of that I lost interest.

Yes absolutely, because they are always without DRM they have way better chance of working with wine, unfortunately one of the downsides of Proton on Steam is that WineHQ compatibility database is a shadow of its former glory today.
But GOG also occasionally have Linux versions available, and compatibility is marked with the Linux penguin with the duck beak.
Looking at the protondb for compatibility, you know it is at least theoretically possible to get it to work.

Thanks I never heard of that before. But on the other hand VR has near zero interest for me.
I have heard Steam frame before, but I thought it was some sort of joke on the frames you can have standing around to show still images. Which I find pretty stupid too.

IDK what you mean by Steam “frame”?
But admittedly I use Steam for 90% of my games.

GOG is often a good option too.

Thanks, you are of course entiled to your opinion.
But from the content of the article, the headline seems fair. Be careful as an opensource project.
Hopefully other projects have better experiences, but it seems System 76 has acted in bad faith for some reason.

A bit unfair IMO by the downvoters to not explain their downvotes?

Spreading false information about Gnome claiming it is insecure sounds like a valid concern for the Gnome team.

Sounds pretty stupid if you don’t know which platforms you want to target from the beginning.
If development really is that random and poorly planned, they are making extra work for themselves due to poor planning more than because they chose to support the Steam deck.

Of course it is, but it’s just the focus on how the UI is made that has changed, that does not inherently make it harder. It just changes some of the design goals.

I have fucking made UI’s from scratch in assembly on a pixel basis, that were better than a lot of the crap we see today.

It’s a moronic oversimplification, and making a different approach is not the same as harder.
And just saying working harder says nothing about the ways that are described in the article, and provides zero additional info.
Sad that such low energy effort without reading the article first is even upvoted. Lowest denominator rules here. 🤮
