Most of rural America wasn’t served at all, you had to travel to a town with a train station. For smaller towns, no lines were ever built. It’s a completely unrealistic idea. It also doesn’t address the issue of local transport.
What does that even mean?
Yeah ngl Ubuntu is so much easier to get up and running than other distros. It’s fast and reasonably up to date. I will say I’ve found the LTS version to be disappointingly buggy compared to other long term releases like Debian and Leap, but nothing that would motivate me to move to another distro. Just annoying audio related bugs that are easy to fix or get around.
Leap was so solid I wished I could’ve stayed with it, but I didn’t want to commit to a distro with an uncertain future.
They even link to the alternate desktop environments on their site
Ubuntu doesn’t use unity anymore, their default UI is a GNOME shell with some extensions. It works pretty well imo. Not that different from gnome itself
Your comment was in the past tense though. I had issues with hdr on windows 10 but not windows 11.
Forbidden West in HDR is absolutely fucking incredible
HDR is plug and play windows, you just need to turn it on in the settings
BS. All of my games are legit and all them required tweaking to work.
LOL never beaks. Most Linux distros are chock full of bugs that the end user has to work around
Steam numbers are completely meaningless. There’s absolutely no way SteamOS outnumbers Ubuntu even if we limit this comparison to desktop installs. Ubuntu’s been around for a very long time and many of its users wouldn’t show up on Steam because they don’t game.
They also created TypeScript which is a huge improvement over js imo. And with C# you can use Mono, so you really aren’t locked into MS automatically.
Plus, they made VS Code free. I hate MS but they do make solid tools for developers.
Fair enough. There’s really no reason to not be cautious with any company, especially startups, so I can see where you’re coming from. I guess I’m just glad to see someone else seeing market value in gaming on Linux.
Agreed. I guess I’m just happy that the market is big enough that someone that is trying to get into it now.
So a bit easier but still not first class citizens citizens, by definition. It is called steam os after all, so I don’t necessarily expect anything different, but this company wants to offer something new. Seems like this os is less dependent on steam integration, which I would view as a plus.
The article explicitly mentions their target audience, which is ordinary/casual gamers who would not want or expect a desktop mode on their console. They’re basically targeting the console crowd. It’s not the same audience as steam deck.
Since when are non-Steam games first class citizens on steam os? You have to enter desktop mode to launch them.
Most of your complaints seem very nitpicky tbh. Valve needs competition badly and I’m glad to see another company entering the Linux gaming space.
That started the process already with the 545 drivers, but I saw a ton of bugs when I tried to update to 545. Probably won’t be ready for another year or two.
