I thought about it, but honestly i don’t have any ideas. I’d consider redoing my very first screenshot but i believe that was Uncharted 4 and i’ve already done that. I’ve thought about doing just a collection of my favorite photos but i have so many that i couldn’t decide lol. I have been thinking about it though
The thing is, I don’t think valve wants to become a desktop OS provider. Becoming the provider and maintainer of an OS for hundreds of millions of users is so far beyond their scope as a company. They’ve got a third the employees of Canonical and a fiftieth the employees of RedHat, the companies behind Ubuntu and Fedora. Maintaining a limited scope console/handheld OS that runs on a handful of hardware set ups is one thing, but supporting a fully fledged daily driver desktop OS meant to operate on any system is something else entirely.
Right now, most of their users are on windows, which makes them nervous because Microsoft is a known monopolist and has been slowly creeping deeper in to the PC games space. That’s why Valve has put so much effort in to software to support compatibility on Linux, so there is a viable alternative if Microsoft try’s to push them out. I think the steam deck and steamOS were a means to that end, create a business reason to develop and support those tools, not a first step towards becoming an operating system developer.
A better route forward for them would be to use their reach and public trust to help people make the switch to other extant distros. For example an all in one utility on the steam store that helps people select the right distro for their use case and set it up, have a hardware scan and a little quiz to choose a distro, a hard drive partitioning tool to set up dual boot, a tool to write the ISO to a USB drive (or maybe even just set up a bootable on the disk using the partitioner IDK), and migrate important files over using their cloud system.
If the issue is that people trust stuff with the valve branding on it, but are not willing to try Linux on their own, then Steam acting as a guide is much more practical than Valve taking on all the work needed to maintain a proper distro.
I recognise that for almost any one task, Linux has a solution that works better than Windows. My issue is just getting Linux to run not only one specific thing but all the dozens of programs with each having their own dependencies and possible quirks without losing my mind, weeks of my life, data or all three.
If Valve (or really any other large entity capable of handling this for tens of thousands of users) stepped in to act as the guide for setting it all up in a safe manner and such that it just works without constant need for tweaking (unless you want to stray from the “installation wizard”), I could see Linux gain a big surge in users.
Not my doing, must be something to do with your instance? Perhaps? Has it stopped now? I hope it has, because my posts as you pointed out…they’re not short ones!
Played the first demo of Gothic they released, an that felt very different from the original. Will have to check out the new one. But, for anyone interested, the original games are still great to play.
I finally finished the Witcher 3 after 10 weeks and 160 hours, and have since moved to my computer for System Shock 2. Still early in the game, but it’s really different from Nightdives remake of SS1.
This is awesome! I hope more groups start doing this.
Edit: Are they using a script/tool for this, or are they manually copying over the questions and answers?
I always make a point to at least look at a few of them. Sometimes it’s ragebait, but there have been a few times where the review has actually mentioned something that was a deal breaker for me.
I have to stop reading these. I finally just got Death Stranding installed to play this weekend, but now I’m eyeing expedition 33 because it looks beautiful. I feel like a week from now you’ll have me pulled another direction!
I am so constantly amazed with the world he built for that game. It is so beautiful, and expansive and lovely. Please check in with me and let me know how you enjoy it!
I played and had the most fun with controller, on my desktop PC and…obviously my subsequent play-throughs on my Steam Deck. But I’d say that one in particular is personal preference!
After Thailand I went to visit Malaysia (just Langkawi then K.L.)!!!
It’s not. It’s not even a bandaid. Answeroverflow has a bad indexer and the search is useless. In my experience it produces no information of value whatsoever because all it throws back are messages devoid of context unless you read hundreds of lines of some randos conversation. God forbid the conversation lasted several days, you are better off asking chat again.
If you’re indexing the content anyway, move the whole thing to a forum since it’s the same amount of work. Indexing inside Discord is just wasted hours as more and more items will continue to pile up.
Discord is absolute trash for this type of thing, and when intermediate steps are likely the same amount of work as migrating your community, why bother other than the claim of “it’s where people are already”?
SteamOS is a nice modified version of Arch, however and for good reasons it has its limits regarding installing new packages/software. I am not sure this is the best for linux newbies.
I would argue that using an image based system with flatpak is one of the best ways for newbies to transition to Linux. Whether that’s SteamOS, Bazzite, Bluefin or Aurora, that doesn’t matter all that much.
