They’ve always been a waste of time IMO. The only time I’d do them was when i owned very few games and had to squeeze every drop of value out of each one.

There are some cool ones like factorios finish the game in under 8 hours but most are slop. I think theres still a place on steam for them. I can go on peoples profile and see the ones they’ve chosen to display and how rare they are.

If you use mods you can usually get a mod to reenable them if you care about it.

I agree and wouldnt recommended it either but ultimately the devs shouldn’t be putting cosmic up just yet especially in the LTS. People will always recommend the most random shit when it comes to distros combine that with those dogshit listsites and AI new users should be encouraged to try multiple just to not have them getting stuck on one thinking its representative.

Yeah I was pretty shocked they were shipping it LTS with no warning or disclaimer

Gaming distros are great. They come with preconfigured drivers, controller setups, emulators, gamescope. Kernel patches, latest git for new game compatibility.

There are a lot of tweaks that even experienced users wouldnt think to make and it all adds up to the experience of plugging stuff in and playing games be seemless.

Actually people have been asking them to do more linux content and to try out linux. Especially in the last 6 months with windows having controversy after controversy. You probably didnt watch but it was a positive video about linux and none of the issues were his fault or outside what I’d expect a new user to run into.

Youre right. Its actually a good chance for the linux community to clean up long standing bugs and work out a better way to combat the misinfo new users face when onboarding. I hangout in a few noobie linux spaces and the suggestions they find are insane sometimes. Its common to see people suggest someone buy an entirely new GPU to fix an issue thats unrelated. Or switch distro to fix a minor issue. These make linux look so bad because no one should have to switch GPU to not have their screen flicker or have to switch distro to have Bluetooth work.

The l4d2 bug would happen on every linux distro when someone tries to run as native.

This video might shine some light on these issues and get valve to remove the native linux version of l4d2 since its completely broken.

Wait til next episode there is bazzite issues coming.

Did you watch the video? Every complaint you made was answered

I just saw pop recommended on this community. Its still got a ton of people who’ve had good experiences recommending it. But they might not know it now defaults to cosmic.

He did grab the lts

Really? All the linux vet YouTubers have run into countless really really bad bugs when using cosmic. I dont think its anywhere near stable. I have nothing against pop, my only issue is them shipping cosmic to early with no disclaimer or warning.

He would still have these issues on system76 hardware. The problems were cosmic and valve not supporting their old games.

He is but he actually did nothing wrong. Nothing he did this time was unreasonable from a user perspective. All the faults this time were with linux(system76 and valve).

Are you on cosmic?

Not 1 million but i can see it reaching a few hundred k. The niche topics on reddit came from average people browsing and average people will never browse Lemmy.

In my dream world linux gets massive with gamers and they seek open source alternatives and that boosts users. Gamers are pretty mixed gender and age these days so it’ll be a good batch of people. I hope America gets it shit together and stops fucking up the world because its depressing the dialogue here a lot.

I see lemmy in search results.

If you read his manifesto book its pretty poorly reasoned. He fails(in my opinion) to make a good case why anyone should oppose these things let alone fight back in the way he did. So by that alone I’d say hes wrong.

Only god can verify my age 🙏

Massive props to this guy for getting this far. I remember when he made the video saying he didnt want to be the leader and wanted to quit and just play games. Then people said yeah it sucks but youve been given this opportunity and we need you to seize the moment and he has.

Gov gives you the installer. You can share it with as many people as you like.
