They’re just mean via proton, which tbh is fine. Everything works great through proton.

Ahhh ok, that makes sense, thanks!

Im confused with Steam VR for linux. I cant seem to get it to work, and the FAQs page says vr streaming for linux isn’t ready yet. So are these updates just in preparation for a future working capability?

Made a complaint to the California Dept of Consumer Affairs. I used the way back machine to show at the I purchased the phone, their policy was “full refund, no questions asked” which they silently changed a few years later and then hide behind as an excuse to deny refunds. Turns out that’s illegal.

A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They’ve burned any respected reputation they had.

Yeh, I’ll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it’s stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.

• Online discussion: Lemmy
• Private messaging: Signal
• Music: Direct purchase/download
• OS: Any linux flavour
• Mobile OS: Unfortunately needs a little more time…

Yeh, tried ALVR but ran into to many issues to troubleshoot that I just gave up. Figured it might only be a few months wait until Steam sorted something out, give how much effort they have been giving to improving the linux gaming experience.

Exciting. Hopefully Steamlink for Quest on Linuz might be working soon.

Having to install a dual boot to windows again after many years has been such a horrible experience. Modern windows is now just openly hostile to the user, fighting you every step of the way, telling you it knows best and “if you would just submit to it, this whole experience would be better for all of us”. Like some nightmare monster created by combining an NSA agent, a control-freak abusive ex, and power hungry dictator, all rolled into one operating system…

Better late than never I guess?

It’s an important discussion to have. Gripping up the existing ecosystems and deciding on the principles and directions to take linux mobile forward with is a conversation that needs to happen.

Yeh. The Librem was a classic example of overpromise and underdeliver. Borderline scamware by Purism. Will never go near them again.

Wayland is not ready yet. I’ll wait till its done before jumping over.

I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it’s just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.

Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.

If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.

I tend to avoid using it at all. It usually ends up damaging your own party more than the enemy.

Oh, there it is! You’d think they would put it under security and privacy settings.
