I don’t hate on anyone, I literally have some hardware from all of the major companies. It’s possible to have different opinions on different things they do. They are products of corporations that are so huge and internally disconnected that end result can be inconsistent so that’s just how things are. Of course all exist for profit so I rarely get angry with consequences of capitalism unless taken to extreme.

Today’s Valve is scummiest of all, very little redeeming qualities and that’s my honest opinion, not being contrarian. It irks me doubly because they are so idolised. Valve monopolised PC digital storefronts. They don’t make games, they make digital casinos. They market those casinos to children. They have a history of abandoning things. The only reason they fund Wine development is to safeguard and entrench their monopoly even further. It was CodeWeavers and not Valve that sponsored Wine development through difficult times. In 10-15 years, if they are successful in their plans, they’ll turn SteamOS into something like modern day Android, another locked down platform with no major benefit to desktop Linux. I’ll be there with „told you so” but that actually gives me no kick.

Never thought I’d give people a valid reason to.

I genuinely think this way, getting a kick out of pointing out hypocrisy is just a bonus.

As to USB-C location - port on top solves being able to charge while resting Switch on your knees but doesn’t solve the issue of how goofy the entire setup is in constrained spaces like on a train or plane and I’m speaking from experience.

Can you point me to something I refuse to acknowledge specifically? Or is this as made up as things said in the other argument that I had here just now lol.

Who are you trying to bs saying Wine will solve the issues? Wine app DB is a public thing, Winetricks use is assumed for most entries.

I’m done, bye.

Have you considered addressing the fact that ProtonDB lists about 40% of Windows games as incompatible?

Let me paint a picture here.

My main computer is a MacBook Air M1, running Mac OS.

My HTPC / home server is an old Steam Machine, Asus GR6. It runs Ubuntu. It has Steam installed and a library of ~500 games btw.

I play current gen games on Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2.

My only Windows machine is an old ThinkPad that I use to flash settings to my car.

I also own plethora of vintage portable consoles and some FPGA for retro stuff.

But I commited blasphemy against Valve, and therefore I’m a Windows troll. Lol, grow up.

Well, Valve fanboys don’t seem to be concerned with factuality so that might work for you. Hopefully normal people see this for what it is.

I appreciate your perseverance in the face of well sourced facts and that you did that without providing anything yourself.

I cannot wait to play Pauline of the Kongdom: Odyssey. Was really uninterested in this before but I’ll probably get a used copy now.

I think that’s plain to see by now, even for the investors. They still hold on to saying they’re going to release 10th gen hardware but that could be a PC by then. There are upsides to this for gamers potentially though as I doubt they’ll leave legacy Xbox games stranded and more people will get access to them.

You sound like your main issue is that I don’t attempt to fit in. You’ll have to deal with that.
