  • Valve’s Android compatibility layer now has its official name, Lepton, and a cute frog logo.

  • Generative works cannot be copyrighted

    While that is generally true, a derivative work of a copyrighted work is usually copyrighted by the original author (see remixes of music where the remixer only partially owns a copyright for the remix but the original artist does as well). That is what makes generative AI so risky. A court could order "This is a automated modification of work XY, thereby the full copyright lies with the author of work XY."

  • Then use a free OFL-licensed font. Or cooperate to commission your own fonts to share among this consortium.

    Really a non-issue if you're not stupid.

  • Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked

    Jump

  • Steamworks SDK supports Android now. Obviously, should there be an official full Steam client for Android, the preferred route is for game developers to release native Android games with Steam integration.

  • No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.

  • damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.

    "AI at its core" is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

  • Yeah my Bazzite definitely doesn’t auto launch Steam. I think that might be an option during setup?

    I installed it in a VM and after installation Steam launched. Didn't check if that persists after several reboots. Why would I?

    Then I tried Aurora and with the exception of a Terminal app in Plasma's quick launch panel and no gaming launchers installed, it's pretty much the same thing, so might just as well recommend Aurora instead of Bazzite if the person in question doesn't care much about gaming. It's the workstation variant of Universal Blue.

  • That approach uses virtual machines. While that is possible (otherwise we wouldn’t see it), it is probably not really optimized for gaming.

    Whether or not it's optimized for gaming is up to Google. The technology to bring Frame's ARM Steam client onto Android exists.

  • it doesn’t auto launch anything on desktop

    I installed Bazzite just last weekend and I was definitively greeted by a Steam client login window right after logging into SDDM. No idea what you're talking about.

  • a fully functional Steam client would still be quite a surprise.

    What's running stand-alone games on Frame then if not a fully functional Steam client?

  • Just FYI in case you don’t know - SteamOS has changed and is now based on Arch, which means Bazzite is still fundamentally different.

    Both are immutable distributions, meaning software installation via Flatpak and Distrobox is exactly the same.

    System-level differences are mostly irrelevant which is a fundamentally different approach from Ubuntu, Mint, etc. where users are expected to juggle with PPAs to get newer drivers on their ancient Ubuntu LTS base.

  • Bazzite is great on desktop

    Absolutely but people not interested in autolaunching Steam and other preinstalled launchers can use Aurora which is just the workstation flavor by the same people.

  • Aurora is the desktop/workstation version of Bazzite, btw.

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

    Jump

  • Aurora, it's the desktop version of massively popular Bazzite (which targets gaming). That means you'll find tons of up to date tutorials online (Bazzite tutorials are usually applicable unless they are about the few features Bazzite and Aurora diverge specifically).

    I explicitly advise against Ubuntu and Mint for the reasons I outlined here. Ubuntu and Mint have the added downside that almost none of the guides you'll find about SteamOS will work: Different desktop, different philosophy.

    People need to realize that since the success of Steam Deck the "old classics" of newbie recommendations are out of the window and what helps these users the most is a Linux distribution as close as possible to SteamOS but SteamOS is not available for random PCs, so Bazzite/Aurora are currently the way to go. Personally I like Fedora KDE but I shifted my stance since the linked post and trying out Aurora.

  • Linux Mint empfehle ich auch jedem Interessierten.

    Dir ist wohl nicht klar, dass sämtliche Software, die nicht im Main-Repository ist, keinerlei offiziellen Support enthält. Universe kriegt lediglich "Community Support", was einfach mal bedeuten kann, dass man Leuten unsichere Software zumutet. "Lösung" der Community: Einfach PPAs nutzen. Geilomat. Das sollen normale Leute hinkriegen?

    Eine Seniorin hatte letzten auch diese blödsinnige Empfehlung für Mint bekommen, konkret LMDE. Natürlich helfe ich trotzdem. Dieser LMDE-Mist hat bei der Installation einfach keinen Bootloader installiert, obwohl sogar eine Nachfrage kommt und ich natürlich sda auswählte.

    Aber vielleicht hatte ich einen Fehler gemacht. Also erstmal alle Partitionen manuell plattmachen. Wieder Installation durchlaufen lassen. Wieder derselbe Scheiß.

    Anschließend Fedora KDE: Läuft direkt. Noch kurz Flathub aktiviert und fertig.

    Verschwendete Zeit durch Mint: Eine Stunde.

    Erfolgreiche Installation von Fedora: 20 Minuten.
