What you're saying is false though.

You can read about what kernel SteamOS is using. The kernel itself is only like ~150MB, there isn't really a need to slim it down. I think, if anything, Valve contributes to the mainline kernel for linux.

Proton is the "fine-tuning", the OS is just Arch Linux with a paint job.

That is not the smoking gun you think it is.

Again... SteamOS is just an immutable version of Arch Linux. That's what they are talking about in the article when they talk about turning off "read-only" mode. Being immutable makes it less likely to break/more stable, but doesn't "fine-tune" it for gaming.

Saying it's "fine-tuned" for gaming takes away from what is actually doing the heavy lifting for gaming on linux, which is Proton. One could argue Proton is "fine-tuned" WINE, but SteamOS is not "fine-tuned" for gaming.

It's arch, so no. The hardware that utilizes the OS is fine tuned to be used with a controller, since a controller is literally built into it.

Proton is the fine tuned bit, but that runs on many distros.

What?

SteamOS is just an immutable version of Arch Linux, with some Valve flavor and preinstalled apps.

I don't think Trump thinks this. I think his puppeteers think this and he is just the shameless puppet.

False equivalency, obviously.

That being said your mindset is literally the mindset the homophobes have... Hearing the words "gay couple" means having to think about homosexuals and causes them discomfort and they want it gone. You literally just identifying as a gay man makes them think of exactly what you typed out there.

Did you mean NewPipe? Pipewire is the Linux audio/video framework.

I'm experiencing the same both on the website and using Jerboa like @Scoopta mentioned.

Edit: Noticed that they're taking donations now (they weren't a few months ago). Decided to throw a few dollars a month to help out. I encourage everyone to do the same 🙂

Also a lifetime Plex holder. Plex wouldn't let me watch my local content without authenticating the other day... But my internet went out and I couldn't. Decided I'd swap to Jellyfin the first chance I could (couldn't that day because no internet)... So that's what I did today. It was painless and I'm never going back to Plex.

Disclaimer, I don't need access outside of my house so I didn't set any of the remote stuff up.

I belive it's a metaphor for war. The rich start it, the poor fight it.

If you're tech savvy, look into selfhosting SearXNG.

I think there are public instances as well.

I thought this had something to do with the 3D printing software called Octopi.. Was really confused.
