I feel I have less of a choice in operating system than I do browsers or search. Just saying.

I'm sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.

Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.

The irony in these nerds attacking WoW nerds.

Edit: for the record, I'm a nerd. But I'm a live and let live nerd.

I wonder if she did die with a clear conscience considering she withdrew the money donated at her fundraiser (which I find hilarious that they have a "send prayers" button on the page) so that she could live. They said in an earlier update that they expect everyone to be fair minded and not request a refund, but people can reach out for a refund. Very manipulative. Also, she didn't leave a will and the funds are "unfortunately" locked while they figure out her estate. The whole thing is worth a read, if you don't mind puking a little in your mouth.

Clickbait title doesn't say what the feature is and says it's being removed for all players, not just disabled by default.

Honestly, Discord is 100 times worse for the same reasons.

They would still pretend. And, though it would solve a lot of problems, it would remove purpose for so many people.

Right now Valve could disappear and gaming on Linux would continue, better for the efforts Valve have already made. I would think that the improvements would stagnate without Valve, though.

Non-Steam utilities like Lutris, Bottles and Heroic run games nearly as well as Steam. We'd carry on.

GOG is the GOAT, but this meme misses the mark.

The Linux community is full of elitist assholes who think they're special because they have the ability to install an OS. However, there are also amazing people making amazing tools, completely free of charge. You can't paint everyone with the same brush.

Honestly, I wish our governments would pump money and resources into open source operating systems so that we're not all bound to one OS under the complete control of one company.

My understanding of the Nvidia situation is that they are not respecting the kernel's GPL license, which isn't right. Nvidia has always done awful, selfish things, which makes sense as they are a market dominant company. It doesn't mean the Linux developers have to allow them to break the license agreement. Intel and AMD seem to be doing just fine, it's always Nvidia...

Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?

Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They've always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.

To your first point, it's not even so much the tariffs; it's the threat to our Canadian sovereignty. A lot of Americans see it as a joke, but a president shouldn't be talking about their allies like that. We don't really expect better from that waste of skin, but the lack of a response from the average American about this specifically is a slap in the face from our closest allies.

What people in the comments here expect the average person to know about and do is pretty out of touch with reality.

I was thinking, "They can't be referring to the 2020s because that's the future." Oh shit.

I don't get it. If a product sucks, why wouldn't you switch away from it?

"Don't suggest I leave my abusive husband, instead I'll complain about him to my friends until he magically gets better."

Christ, you guys sound like you have Stockholm syndrome.

I wish Nvidia and AMD would work together to create these features as open standards.

I don't want to discount what you saw, but I don't think Linux gamers are even asking for official support. If they don't want bug reports from Linux gamers because the reports would be "tainted" by an unsupported operating system, then they could have a banner on the submission page. I would argue, however, that they would be missing out on a lot of free bug testing where all of these companies are far too cheap to pay for proper bug testing these days.

At this point, Linux gamers would just appreciate the bare minimum being put forth with developers not breaking the games for them.

Apple does it too. Not that it's any excuse.
