The devs can easily revoke the keys and burn the content creator, they’re choosing to be victims here.

It’s a tiny fraction of people that ever bother changing the default settings, this is pretty much just to appease the vocal minority.

I’m not sure what you mean… linux “supports” bloatware just fine, it’s just that we don’t have much of that kind of software (yet), and i’m sure they could get it all to run through winboat or somesuch if they really wanted to.

The fun part is that they can bundle an equal amount of bloatware on linux for even more revenue.

So a better scheduler for gaming distros

CachyOS is not a gaming distro, it is a performance distro, and this is from the mouth of its own developers. Everybody thinks their scheduler is the best - there’s probably a meme about it somewhere, you’d probably get more aggressive scheduling with gamemode than regular cachy because gamemode expects you to be playing a game when you use it… and fyi gamemode is used by default in applications like lutris.

SteamOS is a desktop distribution now, that means full compatibility - at least once they start supporting nvidia. Maybe when they supported only the steam deck they could afford some targeted optimizations, but the more systems start running SteamOS the wider the target will have to become.

CachyOS is most definitely not “as close as it gets” to SteamOS. Cachy is performance driven whereas SteamOs much like Bazzite is compatibility driven. Valve’s main goal is for their distribution to run on everything, performance is a low priority.

better scheduler

That’s not a thing, the words you’re looking for are “scheduler optimized for gaming at the cost of performance in other domains like power consumption”, you also don’t need it because common programs like gamemode already do this.

There’s like dozens of ways to open a lock without the proper key, it’s probably not the best comparison…

Plus game is free so it’s not like they’re actively getting money from me

They might not be getting money from you, but they’re getting a lot of other things like harvesting your data, advertising (like this thread)… Always remember that free to play is a business model, not a charity.

Just like every project, you engage with it only as much as you want to. You can just use the arch install script, update pacman every couple of weeks and stop there.

It speaks to your willingness and eagerness to tinker with your systems, that’s pretty much arch’s core audience.

If you like to mod games you’ll probably want arch linux as it’s heavily modular - you choose everything. You can use the archinstall script to get you setup or follow the installation guide.

Wine has been able to run on wayland for a while now, though upstream wine uses a different wayland pipeline than proton-ge that uses em10/wine-wayland.

Ubuntu’s GNOME is quite different from the vanilla GNOME you’ll find in fedora.

Some businesses did in fact do just that.

It’s against their interest to offer this as they have everything to gain by making you install their proprietary application and capturing you inside their ecosystem where they don’t have to compete fairly. Would Steam be in the position it’s in if you didn’t have to install it to download your games?

Part of the problem here is that those extra permissions weren’t required if you used Apple’s ad service. They stifled competition in their own favor.

It’s Microsoft, they have all the data. And quite frankly it doesn’t surprise even a little bit, i doubt even 5% of people moved around the taskbar, people are just ready to hitch themselves to every bandwagon they see shitting on Microsoft.

There’s no arch hate, it’s just not a distribution for new users. Your downstream distribution might be a bit better at handling the arch quirks by default, but i guarantee you it doesn’t go through the same testing that new Fedora solutions go through before new releases for example. I’m glad you found something that suited you, but for most people, people that will never try to bypass the immutability in the first place, Bazzite is better ootb.
