I can see a Steamdeck 2 happening, but definitely not a 3.

To be fair, if you do not care about the newest iteration of whatever Nvidia is up to (Frame Generation, RTX HDR, etc.) and don’t play games with kernel-level anti-cheat systems, there are really no issues with gaming on Linux these days - at least in my experience.

You’re absolutely right that Linux is still missing a lot of the features that are available on Windows. But the freedom you get with it is so worth it for me, even if my 4090 is bored most of the time.

True.

The only thing the average consumer will even notice is the end of support for Windows 10. However, once the prompt to upgrade to Windows 11 appears, 99% will click “yes” and forget about it. They might be a little annoyed by the changes, but that will be all.

And mainly in third world countries, like the US.

I was in the same boat as you a year ago, but Windows got so bad that I just accepted that I could only play 90% of the games I want and had to check protondb before buying a game.

Also I wouldn’t use a distro that has GNOME as their default DE. KDE is (currently) superior in many ways that matter for gamers.

You:

Doesn’t mean your company didn’t bet on the wrong horse. Luckily we stay far away from anything Google touches, but I have friends in other companies who weren’t as lucky.

Anyone tried the KDE variant with nvidia?

Compared to what?

Tell that to the developers. At this point I’m sure they are just rolling a dice to decide where they should put things.

The humans have to be born, raised, fed and the panel clearly says solar energy for the speaker. None of this is perpetual.

“Would play with Craig again” could contain 2000 games though.

Why is there no space in front of the ?. At first I didn’t even realize that this was supposed to be the ternary operator.
