Fedora.

I’ve tried them all but found it’s the most reliable. It’s upgrades are even more reliable than Macos and Windows.

Packages are very up to date but also well tested. Sometimes even newer than Arch for short periods.

The community is awesome.

I love Gnome, I’ve found it’s more consistent than even MacOs in its design. And it has perfect keyboard shortcuts.

You put 15k immediately in?

That sounds stressful.

If so, I feel it would be better to put 15k into your account but purchasing in 1k a month increments. It would have flattened that dip for you.

Someone did the math on Twitter.

There is about 2900 Linux gamers playing Apex.

So even if 100% of Linux gamers cheated it could in no way be the majority.

What I think happened is the dev team struggled to solve the problem so they used Linux as a scapegoat when leadership came down on them.

VRR, HDR.

It also had an early patch for nvidia support on Wayland earlier in the year.

I believe mutter-vrr has gotten merged though, behind a dconf flag

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

KDE on desktop, I’d use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

Yeah but I imagine porting a JVM and an API using open source code is much easier than reversing the Windows API.

Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.

I’ve rarely, if ever, had a bad time using a server browser.

A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking

Just got an Ultimate 2c. It doesn’t work well in some games. Specifically Sackboy, Moonstone Island

If I had another go I’d probably purchase the 8bitdo Pro 2 Hall edition as it can switch between xinput and direct input.

This list is awesome. Unsurprisingly nearly every game has bad reviews.

They’re not even for denuvo itself.

I wonder. Do the shitty shovelware games gravitate towards Denuvo? Or do they install denuvo as part of their enshittification process

Its simple.

Pirates don’t ruin games for other players.

Pirates ruin games for the dealers.

Agreed. FSR 3 really is amazing and I’d gladly use that to pull a few more years of playing my favorite games on 720p low.

Upscalers are great for portables I just hope it’s not used to excuse poor optimization.

That said I only play fps on my desktop, the steam deck opens up an entirely different class of games for me.

Agreed I would totally support emus using a business software license just because of how they’re treated by business.

I believe they do have their own emulator. It logically would be what powers the Nintendo arcade

It asks to play DRM content but plays videos anyway.

Their devs must be so sick of their business dept.

IEMs. Larges headphones are cool and all, but I have a fro so the head dent is real.

Personally I don’t consider it a con unless rampant. However in many cases they’ve dumped the projects. It is effort that could have helped along another project.

imo the negative side effect is the wasted effort and the abandonment.

The thing is. Snaps isn’t the first controversy.

Canonical, with Ubuntu early on was helping drive things forward, but they reached a point where they started to do things their own way with disregard to the broader ecosystem.

Each time they did this, they cause fragmentation, struggled, and then deferred to the choice the rest of the ecosystem has. The problem with this is that they’re not sharing their effort, they’re just throwing it away.

They merely doubled down hard on snaps which is the latest controversy.

Snaps have their own advantages, but Canonical owns the store. Which becomes its own stalewort

I’m in the middle of a play-through right now.

Is this going to boot me? Can I block the game from being upgraded? Or is remastered a new SKU?

I wanted to like Steep but the Controller experience, even on the Steam deck is so horrible I didn’t last a full hour

Steam does good by the customer. No one else does. Only when they are customer first will they make a dent in Steam sales.
