I don't think they mean necessarily handhelds but definitely console-like machines. Like the OG steam machines.

Yes, it does. Whoever wants to install the "spy backdoors" should be able to. It's called freedom. Look it up.

Lawsuits won't do anything to stop Microsoft in the short term, look at what happened to Netscape. Valve understands that "voting with your wallet" doesn't work because the majority of people will buy whatever the current monopoly holder tells them to buy.

wild conspiracy theories...

Do you live under a rock? Valve has been very clear about their intentions since the days of the Steam machines.

Because Microsoft has the power to end Steam almost overnight so Valve is desperately trying to move people away from Windows. Linux just happened to be a useful tool but Proton aims to capture the Linux userbase about as much as ChromeOS does.

My problem is that being in denial about the state of gaming on Linux (better than before, still garbage) does nothing to improve the state of gaming on Linux.

Do you think that was profitable for Steam (from people voting with their wallet), or do you think Steam did it for charity out of the kindness of their hearts?

You seem to think that Valve developed Proton to capture the Linux marketshare. That's unbelievably naive.

I actually like immutable OSes exactly because most people do have a habit of blowing up their computers.

Ever. It's not a desktop OS.

Voting with your wallet doesn't work when you're 3% of the 3%. It didn't work to get games on Linux and it won't work to get rid of kernel anticheat. Wanna know what works? Making things work. Like Valve did with Proton while people like OP were voting with their wallet.

Make the switch to Linux, by all means but I don't think you should use SteamOS as a desktop OS.

Windows 11 is to Windows 10 what XP was to 2000. Stop it.

Only 196? You gotta step it up.

Remember back when people said nothing was wrong with Linux gaming and it was actually game studios that had to start developing for Linux so the studios changed their practices and started developing native Linux games? Yeah, me neither.

Congratulations? How does that help Linux adoption, though.

Like that baby

There were thousands of cultures with clearly distinct architecture that got washed out by European hegemony. Why are you being willfully ignorant?

you don't have to tell me that Windows sucks.

Then I don't see why you have a problem with me saying macOS is better than Windows.

I don't use any accounts for my OS at all.

You mean Linux? I don't either but that's irrelevant, isn't it?

They're both about the same in terms of privacy so that's quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.

Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don't have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.

I resent European imperialism for killing interesting architecture.

Still better than Windows, though.

NIPT is not nearly as widely used as you're making it out to be. And names aren't gendered. You sound like that reporter asking David Bowie if he's wearing bisexual shoes.
