  • I am not Linux savvy at all but I was ready to switch for me gaming pc.

    Well I actually did for a month with nobara, which was great. What shocked me was it seemed much more modern than windows ! It took me some time to get how things worked and I could do everything I wanted with no command line. I still think it can be hard to get started at first to install some windows games/programs not on steam(everything is fantastic on that part), it could use a tutorial for newcomers… But overall, fantastic experience.

    Until I tried to use my thrustmaster wheel and I had problems (and I am not the only one it seems). Apart from that (didn’t try to use my flight stick or VR headset yet but maybe it could have been problematic too) it was absolutely great. I went back to win11 for now but with a very barebone ltsc version (no win store, no game bar, no ai, and no online account). It’s far from perfect and I’d rather be on Linux as I think it will be better in the long term.







  • No worship on my side, it’s just that they could have the means, the will, the users and the know how to make a user friendly Linux based phone with a good UI. You need all this to make a successful product. I can’t imagine another company in the same position.

    Of course I would want a real foss phone but realistically it’s super complicated, a steam phone could create a standard from where to start, same as the steam deck and modern portable PCs.

    And about steam future past Gabe, we will see when we get there
