miskGames run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds
candyman337I believe it, Windows bloat these days is so bad. I keep telling my friends Tarkov runs better on Linux if they’d just let me play the goddamn multiplayer I’d be golden
chiliedoggI’m really curious to see what kind of performance gains the Xbox-mode or whatever they’re calling it is going to provide. I don’t know if it’ll reach SteamOS levels, but it does legitimately look like they’re taking the bloat’s hit on gaming seriously with the Xbox-branded ROG Ally.
The reality is that mostly people aren’t going to leave Windows, so if Valve and Linux force Windows to improve it’s still a win.
I think we’re beginning to see a serious shift about how people view Linux. I do think valve being on Linux will significantly legitimizes it, and drivers will become much more accessible for it. In the next decade I think we will see a big migration of gamers to Linux. Being on Linux myself, the experience is even more streamlined and less glitchy than just a year ago, just because of the widespread adoption of OS’s like steamOS and bazzite.
Linux will never be mainstream while it’s controlled by nerds. I mean there is no uniform interface (there’s so many guitar options) and when people want to learn it, the support is from people who think “it just works”.
Yeah, three is the limit on control panel flavors within an OS
Still more consistent out of the box than the dozens of GUIs of Linux.
This could be smart if the largest mobile OS, Android, didn’t have dozens of GUIs/Styles depending on the manufacturer’s whim
Android is still more consistent than PC Linux. Most Android interfaces are nearly identical. Give me and Android phone that I’ve never used before and I know how to perform the most common tasks without help. Not the same.
Ah so because your familiar with it it’s easier? Interesting
That is my point. With Linux as a PC OS people cannot become familiar with it because there are too many user interfaces. The Linux supporters as a whole need to pick one and push it and only it to be viable for the average Joe.
Why does it need to be dumbed down for the average joe?
Why does guis need to be designed for the person not using it? Why not design them for the people using it now and improve them for the actual users of the software instead of the persons NOT using the software?
Thats a stupid idea and that very line of thought is the brainrot that has led to the enshittification of so much the last couple of decades.
You don’t understand marketing and that people need a uniform experience. You need simplicity to get the average person. You’re thinking as a advanced computer user, not a basic or novice user.
Why do average users need to use linux. Let them stay in windows if that’s where they are happy. Making linux into a system just as shitty as windows will just replace shit with different shit.
But that’s the whole issue. Microsoft will continue to dictate how the internet and computers in general function if the regular users don’t adopt something else. The regular users won’t adopt Linux because the current users of Linux want to gatekeep Linux. You bitch and complain “why do people user shitty Windows?” Then when given an answer say “we don’t want them using Linux anyway.” You are showing exactly how fucking stupid you are.
It’s almost as if linux users are a group of many individuals with different reasonings behind their vastly different goals and priorities and not one homogenous group. Who would have thought?
You are completely missing my point. Linux will not be adopted by the masses which it needs to do to kill
Microsoft’s stranglehold on the industry while there is no uniformity to it. The idea of hating Microsoft but not wanting to make it easier for current Microsoft users to switch to Linux isn’t coming from 2 sides of the Linux group. It coming from the same individuals. It’s the worst type of gatekeeping.
