“Oh, but it’s a technical detail!” does not make what I said a false argument – you are extrapolating for the sake of “being right”.

…which these “customized kernels” can (also) be applied to any other distro.

All distros are the same – none packs a exclusive feature that makes gaming “better”. Other than having predefined changes/packages that are more suitable for gaming.

Kind of a self-flex… I used to care about this distro way back when I was in my “I want everything to use as little to no memory!” phase.

…until I realized that 200 MiB “more” memory does little to no difference on (pretty much everything).

…unless you are using a really baked 'tater as a pc.

Just download proton-ge and set it to run with lutris.

t. That is how I ran the game.

I’ll try it on my Orange pi zero 3 just for giggles.

-EDIT- I just did (straight from their site), and welp… 5 minutes to load a map, lots of stuttering yet performance was okay’ish ( ~25 frames per second). Not bad for a little board with only 1 GiB of ram and the power draw capped at 2W.

-EDIT2- Nvm that, I grabbed the binary, ran it locally and the experience was much, much better. Absolutely playable.

…instead of having to create an entry for every single game.

I think I might be shot and burnt alive in a cross for saying this, but… have you tried adding class=“*” instead of restricting it to the steam client only? Oh, and I tried this on my opi zero 3 and it works. The performance boost was really noticeable.

Hey, how’s 2080 OP? Will we finally get nano pcs able to run Crysis at 16k, with a power draw under 5w?

A “ez” solution would be simply stay on Windows and leave Linux as a novelty. A somewhat complicated solution – double booting (apparently Windows can be a privacy nightmare even while dual-booting). A quite hard one would be installing Linux and running Windows on a VM with GPU passthrough. The “are you bleeping kidding me?” approach would be buying another PC just to run Linux while leaving your “main” PC for Windows.

“Is there a sane approach for this?” – yep, there is! Which is, buying a console and use it solely for gaming while leaving your main PC for daily browsing and everything else (i.e Linux).

Eh, just you wait until Bill implements AI into it and/or a xz-like backdoor and then says its “for your own good”.

That is like asking, “Is breathing worth it?” – well of course. Then again, folks don’t (usually) care due to how most privacy-ruining methods/features are … mostly (in)offensive and easy to tackle.

brb installing firefox

Apparently the “logic” behind this is simply, “because both isolate stuff”.

Aw ye! Let’s flippin’ GO!

HoloISO if you -REALLY- want to have a “steamdeck-like” experience. Unless if you mean “steam focused” as in “gaming focused”…? Then (pretty much) any distro you want – as long as its a minimal install. Tweak it to your needs, make steam run when you log in. And thats it.

Not going to happen. Money is good, but we are too addicted to freedom already.

Even if it happened for whatever reason, that’d make most users fall back to “vanilla” versions of Linux.

Theres a free to play MMORPG called FFXIV with a free and unlimited trial that can get you sorted. But if you really, REALLY want to meet new folks (only)… then your best bet is to hit a nearby bar, grab a seat, drink and do some small talk with random folk.

I’ve got a very simple rule for this.

If it doesn’t affect my mood in any way and/or affects it negatively (before/while playing)? Then I stop playing and go for the next one.

And yes, this also goes for “muh childhood” games.

A bit controversial, but… any game of chess. They’ll thank you later.

I haven’t updated in a while(a week), let’s pacman -Syyuu

lol

Aww ye! Can’t wait to play this on my Orange pi zero 3!..

…thanks to GeforceNOW. :')

Oh. My point still stands however – I (honestly) see zero purpose/reason for this project to keep on going.

while still in its infancy

Eheheheh…heh…

…eh.

All “casual mockery” aside… do we really need a Linux distro that is 1/1 par with Windows? Is there anything that would benefit from this?

Eh… advantages = VERY lightweight, user control does exist, no bloatware.

Drawbacks = some games won’t work and/or require some turbonerd tweaking in order to work

Thats pretty much it.

Ey, thats a breddy gucci distro for some quick nostalgia fix – thanks for sharing.

Just lower your expectations and dive in. Unless there is a specific game that you REALLY want to play… then search if (your most wanted game) 100% works on linux and then do it.

All in all, its just a matter of not expecting much and be willing to ditch some things here and there. Get used to “do it yourself” and you’ll be fine.

“Hey, piracy is wrong and you should not do it!”

“Instead, buy our games from our store that does not work 50% of the time!”

“You know what? Forget about it, we won’t provide ANY old games for sale LOL!”

Here is a major red pill that no one from this community will ever shallow:

You will never be 100% anonymous.

Apparently it has some built-in telemetry and forces political propaganda towards users.

As someone who swapped to chrome > chromium > ungoogled-chromium > brave > firefox > librefox and then back to brave…? Idk, it feels like theres no such thing as a “perfect browser” and that all browsers has a some sort of “anti-consumerism” built-in that we are (still) not aware about.

Nah, you should avoid it unless you really want to search for a specific image – search.brave.com respects your privacy and is not compromised.
