It’s really hard to find a difference between a flaming bag of dog crap and a giant heap of cow dung. But if you look deep enough, one might have a preference.

Okay, this is great. I know about ujust but didn’t know it could even update the BIOS

SPOILERS!

Valve’s goal with it is to “have a standardized interface so that SteamOS specific features in the Steam client, e.g. TDP management, can be exposed in any linux distro that provides an implementation of this DBus API”

Some companies are trying to move core features under their closed source umbrella and Valve is exposing their features so that other Linux distros can make use of it.

Gigachad behavior

HL3 is going to be launched with Valve’s brain chip.

They don’t even have to make the game. The chip will convince you that you have already played the game and it’s the best game ever.

Don’t forget educational institutes. Linux should be the defacto OS at such places. The younger generation’s first interaction with a PC is at school. If they are used to Linux from a young age, this is greatly help them ease into the Linux mindset (package manager, terminal).

“Yes honey, I’m coming. Just one more thing to compile in my head”

Segmentation fault

This is something we as a community will see more often.

The OEMs see the potential of Linux as a gaming platform so they will want a piece of the cake. But they want to inject their own proprietary BS (telemetry) into Linux. And since it’s immutable, an average user can’t do anything about it. The community will create an open-source version of the proprietary app and figure out a way to replace it (either a Manjaro Gaming Community Edition) or by using some layering technique. Will this cause those devices to be not Zotac approved (No support for warranty)? Will anti-cheat support be disabled on those devices?

Interesting times ahead.

I have bypassed this issue by exclusively using open-source terminal software. If my softwares aren’t launching in 2-3 seconds, i usually try to find alternatives.
