    SteamOS is not a good desktop distribution, which isn’t surprising as it’s not supposed to be one. It’s specialised for handhelds.

    Go install Ubuntu or something, really anything, ideally don’t have an Nvidia GPU, install steam, done. SteamOS has no special sauce regarding running games.

  They have their systems only they use, therefore they can easily make them on Linux or emulate.

  Also, a lot of systems are web-based (and therefore automatically multi-platform) these days.

    and therefore automatically multi-platform

    But not necessarily multiplatform.

    Damn those people developing only for Chrome.

      So with all this AI usage, surely developing for all browsers should be a breeze now, right? Right??

    Don’t forget, most computers are faster on Linux than on the newest windows version, so you can hold off on upgrades for longer if the hardware is physically fine, which just further decreases costs.

      I have a laptop from 2013 I’m running Mint on 🫡

      Granted, I’m only using it for web browsing and note taking, but still.
