Linux remains above macOS on the Steam Survey for January 2024

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: EikeThe linear approximation to the curve really needs to be split into two parts! (somewhere in 2021?)

... or the software could come up with something non-linear?
Why?
Because the linear approximation systematically overestimates all of the oldest points and underestimates all of the youngest points (except a single one we would attribute to some measurement error, probably located in the far east). The line doesn't fit, and this not in a "jumpy" way (as to be to be expected), but in a systematical way. The curve to be approximated isn't linear, at least not over the whole time.

So we could either try two linear curves, or some curve with a slope (slightly) increasing over time.

Quoting: GuestThe first quote was a meta question, trying to silence others
And that's the problem.

I rephrased it for you if you didn't get it the first time
I totally understood what you said: You're entitled to an opinion, others (at your choice) are not. The following is enough answer to what you said:

Time to blow the dust off your VR headset - Metro Awakening is coming

Quoting: elgatilDamm I want to play Alyx again but I'm afraid it won't be as good as I remember :dizzy:
I can't judge for Alyx, but it's seldom like The First Time again. I'd rather leave it in good great memories.

I joke – a little, there hasn't been all that many truly great PC VR releases that I've seen recently. I still feel completely spoiled by how exceptionally good Half-Life: Alyx was to play through. Still probably my top 5 gaming experiences ever.
I read similar things in a gaming magazine: Alyx might have been so good that it actually was hurting VR.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat?! Why would they want that? SteamOS isn't designed to be a general-use PC operating system. Using it that way would require quite a bit of tinkering. If you want an "out of the box" experience on PC, use Mint.
Of course it is. It has everything that 90% of people needs and want on a gaming focused scenario. It is a out of the box experience...
... on Steam Deck.
Yes. And people that are asking for the SteamOS for PC want the same experience on... PC. Valve themselves said that.
This is way, way harder to do for a lot of different PCs. Well, I guess this expectation is the reason for them not to release.

Quoting: Craggles086Was able to get into many money making endeavours, but rich and starving did not work for too long.
There seems to be a hidden lesson to be learned... ;)

Quoting: GuestThat sucks. The only reason I used holoiso is because it's not immutable. I need steamos but be able to actually use it to test my software for steam deck. At least manjaro works on steam deck, even if audio doesn't (because the driver is proprietary, not part of mainline linux). SteamOS being immutable is the absolute worst part of steam deck.
I never used such stuff, but shouldn't an immutable system allow you to have an additional layer on it with your own stuff? If not, well... yes, that'd suck.
