I’m thinking about getting a handheld and putting Chimera or Bazzite on it. It’s gonna replace my main gaming PC (so it needs to support egpu) once it bites it.

I would never install a rootkit on my system to play a video game anyway.

I’m quite sad as a VR and HDR gamer because I really do want to switch. I have a steam deck, it works great for flatscreen gaming, but general HDR support across the linux ecosystem is apparently lacking and my headset manufacturer told me that they don’t support linux and couldn’t until the VR ecosystem they rely on supports it

I’m all up in that VR and sad the way it’s been treated.

If it’s not open source then it’s an advertisement not an esport

If someone goes to host a tournament and they can’t choose the patch or modify it then it’s not an even playing field between organizers. Think like 2 people go to host on consecutive weekends and there’s a patch between them now the person who hosted first has an unfair advantage in game quality as the players know how to play it

Also if the studio/publisher is hosting an event it’s just an advertisement

What? So if a sports federation changes the rules all independently organized events are disadvantaged? By that logic the Olympics are just an advertisement for the sports not a competition, as the federation usually don’t change rules 6 months prior.

Nope, the leagues are allowed to have different rules

Sports are open source, for instance not every football competition has to use blue cards or a competition made a patch to use blue cards…depending how you want to view it

Legit Steam Deck has me almost convinced to switch my desktop to Linux

I’m buying a new laptop to test out a Linux environment and make sure all my shit works and everything is backed up, then I’ll port it to my desktop.

I still rely on Windows for a few important things (namely a Club Penguin Singleplayer Client that I’m not sure works on Linux), but I absolutely will switch to Linux as soon as I’m fully ready to take the leap.

Debian seems like a nice distro (am I the only one who calls it “deebian”?)

It successfully convinced me to switch over.
