It doesn’t “need” to be anything. It could be a DKMS module that is mandatory for playing a game.

Whether people would like it and use it is a completely different story.

Absolutely nothing prevents somebody from writing a kernel level anticheat on Linux.

Users would throw a fit, and it would be way easier to bypass, but it certainly could be made.

Making up scenarios and claiming to know what the response would be sure is a way to make an argument.

I mean, the worse most laughable way, but it’s a way indeed.

So should Walmart stop selling products that I deem unfit based on my personal preferences too? Say goodbye to animal fats, products made in the US, ultra processed foods, some fruit I just don’t like the taste of, all Nestlé products…

I think you get the point.

I couldn’t give less of a fuck about any company or their “projects”, selling a product is not a mission to empower users and help the world or some bullshit like that.

What’s Steam got to do with Borderlands 2 having a rootkit?

The Nintendo 3DS is got three separate CPUs just to guarantee perfect backwards compatibility, and this shit console can’t work with a pretty much identical architecture from a few years ago?

What’s even the point of buying a console over a PC if there are caveats to the software that will work? The entire point of a console is that if a game exists for it, it can run it. Not “1.07% of them boot but can’t be played!”

Nope. They just don’t know what they’re talking about, something unfortunately common when talking about Proton.

Yep, and they’re still quite troublesome. But installing Nvidia drivers is not the only problematic aspect of an immutable distro, so it doesn’t matter at all if Bazzite makes it easy as far as my point goes.

Hur Durr Valve knows something you don’t

Here’s Valve explicitly claiming the same as I did

Hur I struck a nerve time to stop the conversation

Hahaha sure buddy

The website literally states this image is meant for the Steam Deck and Legion Go S, not other random devices.

But sure, go on, you must know something Valve doesn’t, as you so eloquently put it.

Clearly it was worth valve’s time and attention, so my guess is they know something you don’t lol

Every manufacturer provides a firmware reset image or tool. It’s not some mystery.

But sure, get weirdly offended because somebody pointed out the obvious lol

Most users aren’t going to install a new OS, especially on a handheld.

The third party devices coming out with SteamOS already installed are significantly more interesting than this .iso.

If you live in a shit hole like the US, yes.

It’s totally illegal over here.

Sure…?

an impossible encounter

That’s kinda the point of Souls games though. The encounter isn’t impossible, and once your skills and attitude change, you get through it - even though the encounter itself didn’t change a bit.

Dark Souls II fans will love it!

Sure, but the original context was a new user wanting to try Linux on their gaming laptop.

Both Bazzite and SteamOS will result in headaches from their limitations.

If you’re assuming the user will have trouble with SteamOS’ write protection, which I totally agree with, Bazzite is also surely going to cause headaches. The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.

I strongly suggest going with your other proposal, something like plain Fedora with KDE.

Potentially a collaboration/society of existing employees. That would be the best alternative for those hoping to keep Valve as the Valve we already know.

Because his son is completely uninterested, he’s entirely focused on racing cars, which if fair enough, but likely means he would simply sell the company given the chance.
