Keep dreaming, people will keep on using Windows because they don’t care about the bloat, they just want something that works and that doesn’t require fucking around for hours every time they plug something new in!

Yep, had to fuck around for a while on Mint, managed to get it working with a driver found on GitHub and disabling the default driver and making sure it’s plugged in an USB 3.0 port… As you say, plug and play on Windows.

You’re on Lemmy to avoid Windows? You guys can’t help but talk about it!

The worst part is that with Quick Removal it’s pretty much always safe to just remove it

I’m talking about hats and loot boxes in their own games…

If you don’t mind being plugged in then the better specs can be used without having to worry about the battery, some options have a bigger screen and better resolution, some options have a bigger battery than the Deck (double the Deck’s battery in the Ally X) , as I mentioned the trackpad isn’t essential to everyone (if you’re always playing games with controllers anyway, you’re probably not playing RTS or city builders)…

It’s ok for the Deck to not be the only option people should consider, it’s nice of Valve to develop stuff, it’s a good thing that they have competitors.

You can get better specs and pretty much the same UI experience from competitors by installing Bazzite, only the lack of a trackpad might turn some people off depending on what type of game they’re playing…

Want some hats and some cards and loot boxes?

If they can afford to do all of that while also making the boss a billionaire then they could have afforded to do all of that while also saving you money and only a single person would have went with less money in their pockets.

Exactly my point

All companies making enough profit to make someone a billionaire are anti consumer.

I mean, the second someone is a billionaire from the business they run, the enshitifaction has begun because that money comes from somewhere.

No one outside of tech communities does that

I’m running Mint 22 (the one that just came out) so the kernel shouldn’t have been an issue and it worked with Bazzite (but I had GPU issue with that distro) 🤷

Also fyi to OP: never install software system-wide without your package manager. No sudo make install, no curl .. | sudo bash or whatever the readme calls for.

And that is why Linux isn’t ready for mass adoption.

I had to fuck around for hours to make my wifi adapter work and everyone was referencing this one project on GitHub and the way to install it and what actually worked was to sudo make install.

You’re the first person I see that’s saying not to do that, I had to use instructions from the Linux Mint forum to try and get it installed the first time and no one mentioned that, I found alternative projects but none of them had clear instructions “You must have installed X, Y, Z first” without any explanation how to do it.

So, for new users, Linux is all about blind trust in strangers to make stuff work and if you have no interest in learning programming that’s what your experience will continue to be.

Israel is the State, not the people living in it

Old… 🥲

That’s like saying Windows doesn’t have a bastion in gaming because ~4% of Steam users use another OS on their PC

Mostly true in the past I think? Now the tools exist on both OS as far as I know

“If the only bastion that Windows still has is gaming…”

And professional environments and video editing and image editing and music production…
