Quoting: Purple Library GuyNobody expects a thing like a Nintendo Switch to be a Windows PC. I don't think they need to sweat that a whole lot.

Situation is different here. Valve is saying (or at least people are hearing): "This will run your whole stream library!" People will point fingers on every game that doesn't run like on Windows.

Quoting: damarrinUsing this for old games is really not the point, I think.

Why can't it be the point?

You're free to choose your point of course, but the point of the device is to run current games, otherwise it would be quite overpowered.

Quoting: CyrilI can't watch the video, because blocked in my country... but it seems it's the trailer.
What the issue about it? It's the film itself?

The trailer seems ok to me. Especially annoying was Netflix' US poster, compared to the French one...

Just when I thought: "Hey, don't we need a seventh cloud game streaming service!?!"

it's getting a new "HyperMotion" next-gen tech for consoles and Stadia but the Windows version will not be getting all the special new tech.

So it's Linux > Windows! :grin:

... in theory, in the cloud. :unsure:

Quoting: slaapliedje[...] and one of the few conpanies that wanted to see gaming on Linux lost a lot of their supply because their basement flooded?

What's that story?

Quoting: slaapliedjeIf you want rock solid+newer software, you now can use stable+backports.

That became my sweet spot for "it just works" desktop plus gaming.

Quoting: 14I get Blu-rays. But I think you know what I meant. When a streaming device can't buffer quickly enough, it switches to a lower quality. Even when it's high quality, it's not usually as high as Blu-ray.

Blu-rays are compressed, too. Yes, I know what you mean, but I want to fight the notion that compression is a bad thing per se.

Quoting: 14Makes me worried I'll lose my dependable quality and avoid any compression and buffering.

You're aware that DVDs are compressed?
