I won’t buy this, but as someone who uses exclusively Linux including on my self-built gaming PC, it’s great news.
Maybe I’m steeped in the past, but if your PC is for gaming, what do you gain by running Linux over Windows?
what do you gain by running Linux over Windows?
Not using Windows.
But more seriously, you’d be astonished at the progress over the last ~3 years. I don’t play that many games but have yet to run into one that doesn’t work.
Not having an update happen in the middle of a competitive game.
That happened to me and is actually why I installed Linux fully and stopped dual booting
You’d be surprised how many Windows-only games run better on Linux+Proton than on Windows itself. There is far less system overhead on Linux.
Coupled with the standards too: Linux tends to be more secure, it’s free, you have more choices, etc etc. I switched both of my gaming rigs to Linux a few years ago and never looked back.
Preference? What do I gain by running Windows over Linux? My games work just fine on Linux…
Yeah, gaming is the primary use right now, but I use my computer for other stuff as well, and I prefer Linux for all that other stuff.
ah, thank you
I’d bet it’s for the deckard standalone VR headset
The new console is just this random redditors guess. There have been no signs pointing towards that form the usual valve leaks.
The main sign in the leaked steam controller two, that’s a pretty big sign
I’d say HDMI CEC is the main sign. Why would a VR headset have that when the Steamdeck/dock didn’t?
should’ve clarified, i meant other than what was mentioned in the post.
A steam console? That might eat a lot of business from current console lines.
It would specifically hurt Xbox, which I wouldn’t be sad about.
Me neither, but competition is still good.
I’d trade xbox for an open linux box platform any day though.
Which means more reason to lock IPs to specific platforms(?)
They should call it the Ladyshave.
