So the company x social that existed before the muskrat bought twitter then, right?
@GnuLinuxDude
And to add my experience, that doesn’t even work 100% of the time, if it did I probably would still be using windows
@TrustingZebra
Iirc windows can open archives without an external program now, even tarballs, so that’s something…Not that I plan on using modern versions of windows if I can help it, but still

I love valve, but I’m not sure I’m comfortable turning them into such a key way to get software on Linux
@merthyr1831
Honestly this would be a game changer for me, and I already love my SteamDeck

@AnonTwo
Ah yes, windows users googling drivers, that *never* caused them to accidentally download a virus, right?

It’s not just hate for edge (though tbth I *do* hate edge) but a hate for not being allowed to control the software that runs on our devicesAlso Microsoft got in legal trouble for shoving a browser down everyones throats before, and clearly learned nothing

Where Windows fails, Linux takes it’s place
@HughJanus
Legitimately don’t remember the last time I *had* to use a terminal to install a program in linux, I pretty much just click to install everything using KDE’s Discover store, except for things I download off github which often come as appimages which are practically the same as windows executables in terms of ease of use

That very much depends on what you want to play, here’s a convenient link to help determine if the game at least has linux compatible anti cheat (gets updated regularly)
@hardcoreufo
>any civ 1-6 all run perfectlyCan you give more detail on this? Specifically how if you have any experience getting civ 2 to run? The only way ive managed to get it to run any time in the past few years was through a win 3.11 VM (even modern windows)
Actually more importantly I want destiny of the doctors working (a win 95 game) but I’ve had no luck so far

That’s one complaint I *do* have sense switching to linux, I wish that there was a linux version of vortex (or MO2 or what have you) so that modding can be made relatively simple for more than just a few games that have easy workarounds
@Zeus
@ActualShark
Agreed, the one issue I had with steam (trying to get ALVR to work over a year ago) only happened with the flatpak version

@bzxt
Functionally it’s a laptop with a controller built in instead of a keyboard, plug it in to a dock with a keyboard and mouse, and even an external monitor, and you have a linux computer
@sugar_in_your_tea
@EliteCow
If that *is* the case, then the Deck probably still contributes indirectly, at least in my case I switched a few months before the Deck started shipping, but after it was announcedAnd while I was slightly familiar with linux and interested in switching before, the Deck made it so that I felt safer and more confident doing so
@user224
Unfortunately my phone is not rootable (every phone I get from now on I’m gonna do more research on first to make sure I don’t make that mistake again) but otherwise yeah that’s amazing
But… Grayjay has a peertube plugin…
Though I’m not sure how well it works
