I must have seen a dozen posts ripping into Bazzite for “cloud native”. This is a dumb decision that they need to run away from.

Nah, there are lots of devices that have them already, notably the Legion Go.

If you’re looking for ethical hardware manufacturers, there are none. Just do a clean install when you get it, like every other computer.

I would assume licensing SteamOS legally prevents them from doing something like that, but who knows.

Why would they want to do that? Like, if I’m Lenovo, I’m genuinely excited about this, and want people to buy it. They can pocket the difference on the Windows license while selling more units because the product is more attractive. They have no reason to actively encourage people to stick with Windows, unless MS is paying them to?

It really just seems like an experiment for them. I hope people buy them…

Lenovo is trying to add value for the people who want to stick to Windows

Why would they do that?

In May, the true experiment will begin when gamers can pick between a $499.99 SteamOS version with 16GB / 512GB, a $599.99 Windows version with 16GB / 1TB

Is there any logical reason for the Windows version to have more storage? What is that about?

Apple is always silent, because they know they have no justification for their bullshit.

No one thinks Apple, or any other ecosystem for that matter, is completely private. It’s just far more private than Android. Primarily because Apple is not an advertising company.

I did read and didn’t see anything about archiving pages.

Why wouldn’t I just use the bookmark manager in my browser?

That was cringey as fuck but I guess get the word out in whatever way works

Ah well that’s a loss for everyone.

There’s a Frigate app within Home Assistant.

Me in 2005: “Bots please crawl my site!”

Me in 2025: “Bots GTFO my site!”

All I can tell you is that I played 49 games last year (exclusively on Steam, not counting the rest) and didn’t need to know anything to run them.

…what was “obvious”, exactly? You haven’t even explained yourself, much less provided any sort of citation.

I mean they waited 3 years for this one, though…

He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn’t say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once…

None of that ever happened. In fact he regularly declines sponsorships from various companies with ethical conflicts.

Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn’t deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!

When you run a large company, this sort of dumb shit happens. He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be) and hired a CEO to handle logistics. You act like it was done maliciously.

Man, uhhh okay:

1. The man mentions Chimera, Holo, and Bazzite, then proceeds to take the single most difficult route to installation, with the least amount of hardware support and functionality. Don’t they have any Linux people on staff? Where is Emily?

2. We’re expecting a “general use” image in literally a few days and they couldn’t hold off?

Games people actually play

Games that are played most often

Do you see the difference there?

You’re talking about seven games. Seven. 7. Do you know how many games there are?
