Year of Linux on the Desktop
Year of Linux on the Desktop
2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.
You're viewing part of a thread.
You're the one trying to keep Windows 7 alive and commercially viable.
And if you want to really get off topic to "original hardware/software", I'm a big advocate for FPGA replacing original hardware for most users. The MiSTer and similar projects are real preservation and very much not "corpo dick sucking".
"I'm not corpo dick sucking, now why don't you go buy a 500+ dollar device from one of the companies selling it instead of doing your filthy peasant retrogaming"
The DE-10 nano is sold by Intel typically at a loss to assist with educational endeavors. The retro gaming community just kind of adopted the platform due to its cheap nature.
I think the MiSTer is the exact opposite of what you're saying. It's a corporation essentially subsidizing video game preservation for a period of time.
MiSTer is also open source software and hardware.
Again, you're the one buying digital games on steam and calling others corporate dick suckers. You're the one funding it without paying basic attention.

Gotta blame anyone but the corpo master, huh?
I'd rather blame the customer who keeps buying from the corporation but claims some moral high ground over the company.
Put your money where your mouth is. This isn't the first time Steam has dropped support for an Operating System and you're acting like this is some new revelation.
If you're so against what these corporations are doing, stop giving them so much money. I'm not sure how much more you can glaze a company than you already have with your wallet.
Yes yes, Its all the customers fault.
All the blame should be on the customers, We should never try to hold the blessed companies accountable or criticize them in any way for their behavior, because it is the filthy customers fault for it all.
afterall, the customers just downright refuse to use their future sight to avoid problems, so they deserve it.
Yes yes, it's all the companies fault even when the customer refuses to read the terms of service or acknowledge the company's history of similar moves.
If you really cared, there are other platforms you could be using.
Anything to avoid personal responsibility.
Your comments read like someone who eats at McDonald's and then blames them for being overweight.

Thats literally what you're doing in this entire thread. "Customer should have known the coffee was hot and should have been more careful" is your entire argument.
Great projection though.
Your ability to twist comments to fit your narrative in your own head are hilarious.
Steam leases digital games with a shitty Term of Service and the ability to change their agreements at any time. You're the one blindly consuming then getting upset at the natural consequences.
Take some personal accountability for once.
I bet you'll still be buying on Steam this time next year.
Your ability to twist comments to fit your narrative in your own head are hilarious.
Uh huh.
Steam leases digital games with a shitty Term of Service and the ability to change their agreements at any time. You’re the one blindly consuming then getting upset at the natural consequences.
And now we're back to the same old "You should have known the coffee was hot, its your fault for being careless and getting burned" arguments.
Take some personal accountability for once.
Accountability for me, but not accountability for billion dollar businesses, Right?
