I easily game +6 hours a day on Linux though. PoE 1-2, D2, modded d2, Cyberpunk, witcher3, ffxiv, Monster hunter world-ride-wilds, HotS (year the blizzard client works and with it all blizzard games without anticheat)… To name a few.

I just go to a print/copy store. Pay up, be done with it.

You said that the kernel anticheat problem will never be solved, I challenged that, not that this is seen as a Linux problem for the end user or not.

I play all the games I want to play, no one wants to play all the games, there’s no physical time to do so.

Also, all of this is in the context of a tech savvy person. A tech savvy person can tweak almost all games to run properly nowadays… I do and I’m not THAT savvy.

It’s kinda funny you mention all those points to me, when I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now. I play on steam, use heroic for gog games, play a lot of modded D2… All in Linux. Saying that Microsoft treats backwards compatibility and support when they are forcing everyone to either pay for win10 support or join the win11 spyware mafia is a ludicrous statement btw.

Games with kernel-level anticheat do work on Linux, if the anticheat provider has done the work. Right now, most don’t and actively stopped supporting Linux so saying that won’t work ever is kind of a stretch.

“Isn’t good enough to replace windows” - here I am playing Modded games, path of exile, ffxiv, other FF games, cyberpunk, all PC monster Hunter games… Your statement is false.

I see nothing wrong with using a compatibility layer, it does the work of retrocompatibility alongside separating game environments, which is good for security.

Oh, sure. Agreed that at the time the proton Linux ecosystem was pretty under developed.

But to be excited now about a windows handheld is a whole other story, specially because of the battery as stated.

Unless you want to play TFT on the handheld for some god forsake reason I see no point on it being windows. But I ditched widows for all my PCs and I’m very tech savvy so I’m biased.

The big problem with windows handhelds is battery, there is a huge difference in consumption. I highly doubt that “most steam deck purchasers installed windows” (if that’s what you meant), you need a high technical level to do so and people are used to being limited to a single store in a console anyway.

That dollar amount is higher than what several presidents of European countries earn. I’m sorry but if a project is based on donations from around the globe, you can’t then think of a salary that’s one of the highest in the world.

I read all of the comment chain and I perfectly understand that in San Francisco or LA the rent is huge and that people earn those numbers. If I’ll ever consider donating part of my Spanish salary, looking at that stupidly high number heavily disincentives me because what the fuck, living in one of the world’s most expensive places and expecting for people that live with a third of that money (with a salary that’s considered high!!) to donate is super entitled.

Agreed, it’s the wifi sensor that can’t both act as a signal emitter and receiver. (If you know what I mean, I know that it can do both of those things to communicate, but only for a single use case)

The tree is Olivo, the fruit is Aceituna.

Not all phones can act as a repetitor. I’ve had several where wifi gets disconnected when hotspot is activated.
