Unless they were in cahoots with the government to ensure housing prices remain high. I'm not saying that was the case back then but the incentive was always there.
Valve's goal with it is to "have a standardized interface so that SteamOS specific features in the Steam client, e.g. TDP management, can be exposed in any linux distro that provides an implementation of this DBus API"
Some companies are trying to move core features under their closed source umbrella and Valve is exposing their features so that other Linux distros can make use of it.
You’re not going to get an option to take the subway from your farm to the local Walmart.
Yes, i completely understand this scenario and I would certainly not say to build a subway all the way to my farm.
The problem is the last half century of building out cities and population growth only considering cars.
This is the exact issue that I want society to understand.
Transportation should have a hierarchy.
Commonly used routes: Subway
Busy/dense population route with medium distance: Bus
Short distance to common transport pickup point or places of attraction: cycle/small vehicle, preferably electric/mechanical
Special vehicles for senior citizens/differently-abled: Haven't thought about this much but there should be something
There should be parking areas near the city periphery/big transportation hub so that people coming from the suburbs can park their car and use the public transport. This reduces pollution and heat in the center of the city.
If you show you used public transport, parking should be subsidized or free.
I want freedom of movement, i.e., I should be able to choose which form of travel I want to use to reach the destination.
Each mode should have their pros and cons. But i don't want society/environment/polices to favor a particular form of travel.
I just checked the games on ProtonDB. Two games are Platinum are one is silver/gold. Essentially very less tinkering.
Steam Deck compatibility is usually very conservative so even though it says incompatible, it will probably work. Nowadays, I just check if the game has some weird DRM or anticheat, otherwise it just works.
Don't forget educational institutes. Linux should be the defacto OS at such places. The younger generation's first interaction with a PC is at school. If they are used to Linux from a young age, this is greatly help them ease into the Linux mindset (package manager, terminal).
This is something we as a community will see more often.
The OEMs see the potential of Linux as a gaming platform so they will want a piece of the cake. But they want to inject their own proprietary BS (telemetry) into Linux. And since it's immutable, an average user can't do anything about it.
The community will create an open-source version of the proprietary app and figure out a way to replace it (either a Manjaro Gaming Community Edition) or by using some layering technique. Will this cause those devices to be not Zotac approved (No support for warranty)? Will anti-cheat support be disabled on those devices?
Okay, this is great. I know about ujust but didn't know it could even update the BIOS
