2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds (www.theverge.com)

Seemingly confirming the theory that "Xbox" will just be Windows going forward, at least on handhelds.

Get fucked. After all the shit I've seen them pulling with Windows 11 they'll never get a dime out of me again. I'll ride my win 10 until it's out of support then switch to Linux. Fuck monopolies, and fuck enshittification for profit.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

Don't wait till support ends, it will make the switch more stressfull

SteamOS for pc can't come soon enough.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don't need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

To add to this;

Playing modern Windows games on Linux and SteamOS is done using Wine and Proton. Wine is available on almost every Linux distro and Proton comes* with Steam.

*You can use Proton outside of Steam but it's quite hacky and not really needed.

Amen. I'll trust that until Gabe dies and of course some shithead takes his place and ruins the company

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Why do you want SteamOS though? Unless you're making a Steam Machine there are better options out there for desktop usage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Just install Mint Cinnamon. It’s super approachable and Steam works great on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I plan to use zero patch until eol then go Linux. https://0patch.com/

Isn't steam about to no longer support 10?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No.

Couldn't even find a rumor of it. It wouldn't make sense for steam to stop supporting such a large part of their userbase.

[–] MrScottyTay -3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm sure on the game specs on the store it says steam will no longer support win 10 in jan 2025. Unless i misread and it's it'll only support win 10 and above.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you are confusing this with the news from a year ago that Steam doesn't support Windows 7 and 8 anymore?

By the way MS-support for 7 ended in 2015, so that's 9 more years of Steam support after updates from MS stopped. I'd count on Steam working on Windows 10 for years to come.

[–] MrScottyTay 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah i assumed this might've been the case, hence the last sentence in my comment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Unless you provide a source I will consider your comment as FUD.

[–] MrScottyTay 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty certain it's latter of my comment. Don't know what FUD means though
