Honestly there are only so many clickbait headlines a guy can take in a day. I’ve reached my quota. Can some good person or bot tl;dr this please?
Linux appears to largely be done with the transition to the modern tech stack (wayland/Pipewire) and can now focus on getting more features. Packaging hasn’t improved (flatpaks largely stagnated, snaps barely evolved and kept the same issues, so did app images and system packages. On the gaming front, while steamOS has gained users, market share is still somewhat anemic, and support for multiplayer games is now worse than before. Desktop usage did show some ok growth though and now has a solid 4%
also the lack of good VR support - it's a super hacky mess to get it working right
Use Envision and an AMD gpu, works great.
Don’t use SteamVR, it’s trash on Linux - Valve for all their Proton work has ignored the Linux build of SteamVR for years.
I think vr is on it's way out anyways
It's alive and kicking on standalone android thanks to Quest, but soon more android headsets that aren't from meta are about to come out. Being able to PC VR with these is always a preference.
doubt
We have higher market share 4%+. Thats the biggest one for me. We were at 3% earlier in the year.
He does bug me in his coverage in "problems" he says linux has in other videos, but he does research quite a it. So better than most. Like I love my steamdeck and linux support...
Thank you!
