I hate windows 11
Not a chance in hell
Microsoft desperately needs this to keep people on Windows.
But Valve doesn’t actually need the Steam Deck to retain their profits as they make most of their money trough their platform.
So I hope that they don’t just let SteamOS and SteamOS devices go away like Valve’s other stuff; the Link, Controller, SteamOS1, etc.
I just made the jump to Ubuntu. You don’t need a Steam Deck or Steam OS. Steam works just as well on any Linux OS. Proton is the real star because it deals with the compatibility issues so well.
That is true. But without the Steam Deck, Proton support would also be lower. And that’s the main reason why I hope that they continue their current path, because I also get a lot of enjoyment out of Proton on Ubuntu.
Same. Steam Deck is for gamers. Windows is for data mining, tracking, subscription pushing, and oh ya, also gaming I guess.
No thanks, ill stick to steam OS
Windows still hasn’t decided what it’s configuration windows should look like, there are still dialogs with the 30 year old W95 design language. I doubt that they were able to put together a seamless gaming UI over that past x months or years.
Microsoft just needs to do what valve is doing to wine and make all the old windows shit work with it, and build a whole new OS that is actually good. Such a steaming pile of band-aided together bullshit and UIs and data collection engines.
Swapped to Linux mint a week ago, and is it just me or does it unzip files like 20x faster
It probably does because Mint uses less CPU than Windows. That’s just speculation on my part though.
It’s honestly insane. I zipped up a bunch of files (mainly emulation and modding) to total around a terabyte. I moved it to an external hd and then to Linux, and it only took about an hour to unpack it. I’ve never had something unpack so fast
For a smaller scale example, I had a ~2GB file that unzipped in about 10 seconds as well
Sure, it took me 15 minutes to scrounge around online trying to figure out why my .rar file wasn’t unzipping properly, but after that I saved all that time and then some
I’m glad it’s working out for you. I’ve never realky worked with .zip files larger than 8gb but I have some tar.gz folders that are 80-90gb in size. I haven’t had to unpack one yet tho.
Would you like to open that in the browser? In the app? On the desktop? Would you could you on the desktop?
Cannot unhear green eggs and ham.
Would you, could you with a browser? Would you could you with a mouser? Or a 45?
Can’t wait to play league of legends on joysticks and run it down
